Location: Glen Ellen, Sonoma County, Wine Country, California, USA (Glen Ellen (Short 1 Hr Drive from San Francisco Airport))

Accommodations:  House, 4 Bedrooms, 3.5 Baths (Sleeps 8)

From the first moment you drive through the gate and start down the driveway, you realize you have entered your own private retreat…the perfect home away from home!

O’Donnell Lane is the subtle blend of secluded privacy with very close proximity to the unique restaurants ("restaurant row") and shopping in and around Glen Ellen and Sonoma Wine Country.

The property consists of a newly renovated, warm and inviting four bedroom, three and one-half bath house that is situated on one+ acres of well-maintained lawns and mature olive, oak and bay trees. The back lawn is nestled up against the Calabazas creek which flows all year.

The large, well-appointed Viking gourmet kitchen, complete with a six-burner, two-oven Viking range and natural granite counter tops, begs for preparing gourmet meals and entertaining for discerning guests. There are two dining tables which can seat up to eight people each.

The four bedrooms consist of two California king beds (downstairs Master Bedroom and upstairs Suite) and two queen beds (downstairs Poolside Guest Bedroom and downstairs Den Bedroom with a new Memory Foam sofa pullout). All the beds have new, over-sized mattresses with cozy pad tops and 600 thread-count linens.

The furniture throughout the house is an eclectic mix of 19th century antiques and modern appointments.

The options for how you choose to enjoy the house run the gamut…

Plug in your iPod to the stereo, select your favorite playlist, and lounge in the den that overlooks the bubbling creek below. Or spend your afternoons swaying effortlessly in a hammock under the shade of the Mulberry trees while the creek lulls you in and out of consciousness. Better yet, soak in the warm Sonoma sun while lying on a chaise next to the heated saline pool. Unplugged, pure and serene…these are the natural themes of O’Donnell Lane.

The property and house are secluded, yet only five minutes from the award-winning wineries of Sonoma Valley. You are only 15-20 minutes from Sonoma Plaza, ten miles from Santa Rosa and thirty minutes to Napa valley. And being in the heart of Glen Ellen Village, you are just a stroll down the lane to your pick of the best culinary choices Glen Ellen has to offer.

  • Our stay at O’Donnell Lane is the 10th year in a row we've gone up to wine country (Napa or Sonoma county) for a summer vacation, and this house was by far the best we've ever had. We loved the kitchen – in fact, the private chef we used for one evening said it was the best kitchen he’s cooked in. Some of the vacation properties can feel kind of sterile, and O’Donnell Lane was warm, inviting, and felt like a HOME. All the bedrooms & bathrooms had beautiful new linens and towels -- even large beach towels for the pool. The saline pool is absolute paradise as it was warmer than most pools and the saline affect did not leave us with dried, itchy skin as chlorine pools do. The grounds are also wonderful, including the creek at the back of the property. As O’Donnell Lane is a dead-end lane it was very peaceful with zero car noise. Also, we were within short stroll down the lane to Glen Ellen “restaurant row”! I can't tell you how much we appreciated the house. It was perfect!

  • When we drove up to the home we knew we had found a treasure. It was my daughters wedding in Glen Ellen, and the home accomodated friends and family so well. Every room was beautiful and the pool so warm and inviting. Thanks Tim and Aimee for the most special place to share.

  • It was such an incredible treat last weekend to stay at your home and enjoy wine country to the fullest. I just wanted to extend my great thanks to you and you family for providing us with an amazing location and beautiful home. The weekend could not have happened without your help. I would recommend your home to everyone and anyone. Thanks so much!

  • Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. My father had an amazing 70th birthday in the heart of the old wine country he loves. Your home was the perfect setting for a peaceful, cozy birthday event where we made great meals and drank even better wine (thank you for the VIP wine tasting coupons!). Now that we've been here in the winter, we can't wait to come back in August!
