FAMILIES AND FRIENDS: Treat yourself to this spacious retreat in the heart of Sonoma Valley, set amidst vineyards, farms, and pastoral mountain views. You'll enjoy the beautiful heated natural rock pool (Solar heated during season) and the spa, outdoor fire pit, landscaped gardens, and bocce court. Lots of room to congregate or spread out. Come to relax.
Kenwood is located in the heart of the Sonoma Valley surrounded by world class wineries. Fantastic restaurants, from café to five-star, are in Kenwood and the neighboring village of Glen Ellen. Travel just ten miles to historic Sonoma Square or take a fifteen mile backroad drive to the heart of Napa Valley.
For Mountain Bikers you will find some of the best single-track biking in California one-half mile from our driveway. The vacant winding country roads of the area beckon your road bike. Within a five-mile radius are three state parks offering outdoor recreation including biking, hiking, picnicking and swimming. Spa facilities are available nearby at the Kenwood Inn and Spa or Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa.
A warm gracious living room invites you to sit by the fire and play cards, read, or watch a movie. The family room is off the patio and pool and has a wood burning stove.
The large, gourmet equipped kitchen allows several to happily cook while enjoying the company of their friends. You'll find such touches as a professional range, granite counters, and an espresso maker. The dining area seats eight, and a café/game table is in the family room.
There are a total of four bedrooms and four bathrooms on the property. There is an additional queen pullout sofa in a semi private living room.
The main house has two bedrooms and two full baths. The master bedroom has a king bed and doors leading to the patio and hot tub. The second bedroom has a queen bed. The master bath includes double sinks and a large Jacuzzi (bathtub).
Our spacious guest house is just steps away. It features a king bed, living area, mini-kitchen, full bath, and verandah.
The newly remodeled barn has one bedroom with 2 queen beds, a full bathroom and pool/pingpong table.
While fully equipped for entertaining, this is our family country home. We cannot accommodate large parties owing to zoning and our septic system. We do not wish to disturb our neighbors in this peaceful, private area. We ask that no more than ten be on the property.
We invite you to come, enjoy your family and friends, and enjoy our home in Sonoma Valley!

Great Getaway

My wife and I hosted an anniversary/birthday get away at this great complex. It could not have been better and our guests agreed. The pool area, bocce court, fire pit, and gourmet kitchen were all hits. Several of us biked and hiked directly from the property which was quite convenient. Recommended highly by us.

Awesome Milestone birthday

Eight friends came together to celebrate my milestone birthday this year. What a fabulous place! We could not stop saying how much we liked the house. You were out far enough to feel away from it all, but not so far that you couldn't get into town for a great dinner or wine tasting. It was perfectly equipped for everything we wanted to do. We used every facility - pool, spa, outdoor dining table, fire pit, pool table, bocce ball court, well-equipped kitchen, etc. Marybeth and Rob know how to make guests feel welcome in their home. Thanks again for everything. We will be back!

Great house in a beautiful setting. Seems to be in the middle of nowhere, but is really about 10 minutes from a number of wineries. Marybeth was always available to answer any questions that came up. Can't wait to go back.

A Home Away From Away

The comfort and beauty of this property goes way beyond what is shown and described in this listing. The owners do a fantastic job with making their home feel like your home. The owners definitely know how to care for and run a vacation rental property. The minute you drive through the property you get a taste of the beauty to come. From the main house, guest house, barn loft, bocce ball court, patio and pool, and the abundance of greenery surrounding the property, you feel like you are in your own little world with all the comforts of home. The property has everything guests need to enjoy their getaway. This was a perfect place for several adults with a few little ones. We definitely will return!

We had a wonderful time at this rental property. The pictures, in my opinion, do not fully convey the pastoral, peaceful, beautiful setting! Everything was in wonderful condition, the kitchen fully stocked. For entertaining and relaxing at home, this is the perfect place. We spent most warm afternoons swimming in the pool and hanging out and appreciated all the noodles/safety vests/beach towels provided. We also ate almost every single meal inside the house too. Although the closest supermarket is 15 minutes away and sonoma downtown was about 30 minutes, the quality of the house was worth any minor extra driving. Our family would love to rent this house again!

My husband and I visited in June along with four other couples. We had such a wonderful time at Marybeth and Rob's house! From the moment we walked through the door we felt very welcome. They left a couple of bottles of wine for us, fresh flowers throughout the house, and a note encouraging us to use anything that we needed, including the washer and dryer. Information about nearby grocery shopping and activities was also provided. This is a great place for a large group to stay, as there is plenty of room to spread out. We also thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, heated pool, Bocce ball court, pool table, and beautiful gardens. I highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Awesome, Secluded Home
Guest: Maystay

Review Submitted: 05/09/11
Six of us joined in for a great three day stay. The house had everything we wanted and was a perfect setting for a weekend grilling, sitting by a fire place and fire pit, eating well, drinking wine, swimming and hot tubbing. Marybeth was very easy to work with and my only regret was that I could not stay longer.

Fabulous Long Weekend

Review Submitted: 04/12/11
My husband and I and three other couples just spent a wonderful long weekend at Marybeth and Rob's lovely Kenwood home. We so enjoyed all the welcoming touches - the fresh flowers, wine, maps and area recommendations. There was ample room for all of us to have our own space and also to be together in the spacious home and grounds. The home was immaculate and the grounds perfectly maintained. The gourmet kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The highlight of our wine tasting was the mountaintop tasting at Kunde winery with its spectacular views. We relaxed at home with a game of bocce ball, the hot tub and the firepit. The gated property is beautiful and secluded, yet close to everything - wineries, restaurants, hiking trails, the charming town of Glen Ellen and Sonoma (20 minutes away). Marybeth was so responsive to all our questions and made sure every detail was covered. We would highly recommend this home to anyone heading to the Kenwood area and we hope to be able to return soon.

Most amazing vacation spot...

Review Submitted: 10/26/10
I came here with my husband, in-laws, and some friends. We had an amazing time. The house was beautiful and very well kept. We loved being close to all the wineries, as well as a 20 minute drive to Sonoma. It was great to have a wonderful relaxing home to come back to each day for a dip in the pool or a game of bocci. We couldn't have asked for a better place. Being able to spread out and do our own thing was also a big plus. I wish I could say this place was horrible - so that it is available next year, but it was simply amazing. Don't pass up the opportunity to stay here. You won't regret it!

Unicorns home for the Alan/Dewey Wedding

Marybeth, thank you for letting us stay at your clean, spacious, beautiful retreat in wine country. We are college girlfriends (aka Unicorns) that now live all over the country/world, so unfortunately we don't get to see each other every day like we used to. This was the perfect place for us and our men to stay for a weekend, catch up, and most importantly watch another Unicorn marry the man of her dreams. What a perfect weekend! Thank you! You were such a pleasure to work with.
