About the host
Hosted by Kara Reyes
I am a third generation Sonoma resident and have spent my life enjoying the beauty and community of this special place. Sonoma Valley has always been home, and I feel fortunate to share it with guests from around the world.
This is a personal family home that I occasionally share with guests throughout the year. Whether I am traveling or spending time in Sonoma, I enjoy welcoming visitors who want to experience the valley in a comfortable and authentic setting. Because it is a well loved home, Sonoma Hillside Retreat is thoughtfully maintained and designed to feel warm, welcoming, and well cared for rather than like a typical rental.
Hosting gives me the opportunity to help visitors experience Sonoma the way locals do. From quiet mornings overlooking the hills to afternoons exploring nearby wineries and evenings enjoying Sonoma’s wonderful restaurants, there is something truly special about the pace of life here.
Sonoma Hillside Retreat in Sonoma Valley is part of the Rent Sonoma Valley collection, a small group of privately managed properties designed to offer comfort, privacy, and an authentic Sonoma experience.
When I am not hosting, I enjoy spending time outdoors, walking my dogs, gardening, volunteering, and supporting the many local businesses that make this community so vibrant.
I look forward to welcoming you and helping you enjoy everything Sonoma Valley has to offer.
