About this property

Serene Pied a Terre in the Wine Country (TOT 695N)

Imagine your own private guest house nestled among mature oaks and rolling pasture on a 20 acre vineyard property in an exclusive area close to numerous vineyards and wineries, and just 10 minutes from the historic and charming sonoma plaza with its renown restaurants and shops.......After a day of wine tasting or exploring the sonoma/napa valleys, return to your bucolic retreat. Discover the diverse wildlife. Savor a glass of wine by the half acre fly fishing pond or bring your rod and catch a few big mouth bass before the resident blue heron gets them. Relax, unwind, and escape your everyday routine.

Your private pastoral drive takes you past the vineyards and pond, with willows and water lilies, to the present barn where stables have been converted to a small family winery.

It is hard to imagine that this adjacent, pristine 1,100 square foot cottage was also once stalls for thoroughbreds and quarter horses.. Dine and relax on a large screened in porch overlooking a private rhododendron garden with fountain and valley views through the trees. It has an open living/dining/full gourmet kitchen floor plan with a bedroom with king bed, study and two bathrooms, one with shower, one with walk in jacuzzi tub. A gas fireplace beneath a 50 inch 4K HD TV adds to the luxurious and comfortable ambiance.

Alder Mews has all the conveniences of home: Gas Wolf stove and oven, dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, full size refrigerator with ice maker, automatic hot water dispenser and coffee maker/toaster, dishes, pans and cooking utensils, spices, linens, washer/dryer, iron and board, hair dryer, garage space, gas barbecue, tv, (all Direct TV channels, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu), high speed internet, and air conditioning.
There is a Tesla charger on the property (Gen 3, 60 kw).

Guests are welcome to use the swimming pool in the summer, but the pool, while private, is closer to the main house than the cottage. Most often, guests will have the pool to themselves. However, it is shared when the grandchildren come to visit.

There is a variety of information in the cottage to help you with planning your activities and sample restaurant menus for your dining adventures. Your hosts have lived in the valley for over 30 years and are always happy to help with further information and planning,

One to two well behaved and friendly adult dogs (no barkers) are welcome WITH PRIOR ARRANGEMENT. IMPORTANT: PLEASE DISCLOSE AT TIME OF RESERVATION. The cottage yard is fully fenced. Your dog will love all the new intriguing smells and room to romp, and if he a water dog, swimming in the pond. Sorry, we cannot accommodate cats.

This is a NONSMOKING and NO PARTIES property. The property is not appropriate for children due to the proximity of the large pond. However, infants who do not walk can be accommodated and a pack and play can be provided.

Special discounts available for longer terms, inquire for more information.

An absolute gem!!

This cottage is exactly what we had hoped for! Beautiful setting in nature….. we loved seeing all the deer, turkeys and wildlife. We enjoyed walking the property and hanging out at the pond….. even enjoyed the tipsy canoe! The sweet horse and little goat were perfect company. The cottage is private, comfortable and lovingly furnished with every amenity possible! The kitchen is beautiful and new AND we loved eating out on the screened porch. The owner very kindly stocked the refrigerator with snacks and there were even homemade scones and a bottle of wine welcoming us! The property is close to town and great for wine tasting and enjoying the gorgeous Sonoma Valley. We’ll be back for sure...Thank you!

Serenity

What a beautiful place to stay! We stayed here for one month for the Thanksgiving holiday with our two large labrador retrievers, and couldn’t have asked for more. My Labs will surely miss swimming in the beautiful pond, and open land where we took walks daily. The rental had a very nice enclosed gated area where we never had to worry when we left our dogs alone. The home was fully stocked with everything we could ask for. Pieter and his wife, Karen, were very accommodating and helpful in anyway we needed. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was perfect. It had everything we needed. The ride into town was only about 10 minutes to the Sonoma square where there is so much to do! It was hard to leave this place!

Tucked away

What a great spot to get lost in nature, but still be close enough to town to enjoy all that wine country has to offer. My wife and I stayed here a week for our 25th anniversary. We caught a mess of bass in the pond, saw all kinds of birds from the back porch while drinking our coffee, saw deer about every day, and one day, a coyote hanging out in a field in the neighborhood. The wildlife was as spectacular as the views. Just a very peaceful place to call home base while touring Sonoma, Napa, Calistoga, and all the surrounding areas. The unit itself was very tastefully appointed, with everything we needed for the stay. My wife is a great cook, and she did not want for anything in the kitchen. Everything was very clean and comfortable, save for the mattress, which is likely near the end of its lifecycle. Bring an extra pillow to lean your back on, and the mattress problem is solved. Maybe two days into our stay, we looked at each other and said we would DEFINITELY stay here again. Such a great way to spend our time NOT at a winery. Pieter and Karen were very gracious hosts, and communication was top-notch! Thank you both for your time and hospitality.

First visit to Sonoma wine country

We wanted to be within driving distance to downtown but did not actually want to be in that area. This was absolutely perfect as it was only 5 to 10 minutes to town. Our place was so reclusive. We felt like we were at a retreat. We enjoyed walking around and fishing the pond, looking at the vineyards, Enjoying all of the birds and nature on the back patio, and even enjoyed the pool for a short time which has the most amazing views! The hosts were extremely gracious, warm and friendly, and helpful. We absolutely would highly recommend this to anyone! It was just the three of us so my husband and I took the master bedroom and our 19-year-old son took the spare room and made the couch into a bed.

The property was nicer than expected. The hosts were very gracious and attentive to any needs. Picked fresh fruit from their small orchard, caught bass in the pond and drank the owners wine that they shared. Lots of fun and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

We had an amazing time at Pieter and Karen’s beautiful property. Our two dogs joined us which were quite welcome and the Suite was spectacular! As a fly fisherman the pond was lots of fun and I lost count of how many bass I caught. We will definitely be returning!

Special place in Sonoma

This place is really special. The owners, Pieter and Karen, were lovely and super easy to work with. The converted stable feels absolutely nothing like a stable---it's so comfortable and well appointed, we were able to relax the second we arrived. The grounds are stunning and they go on and on and on. Our pooch loved having her own little yard, but also the bigger acreage to walk with us each morning. It was February, so a little cold for the sun porch, but I can imagine it would be bliss in slightly warmer weather. This is a really unique place for anyone looking to get away for a while, but also to be 10 mins from all Sonoma has to offer. Highly recommend!

Excellent property just outside Sonoma

We loved this amazing property in a stunning setting just 10 minutes away from Sonoma. The converted stable has been very tastefully done, was spotless and had everything we needed in the really well stocked kitchen. The owners, Pieter and Karen, are the kindest and most helpful hosts we’ve had in our travels! Even our Tesla was taken care of with a level 2 charger that Pieter generously allowed us to use every night. The property is extremely dog friendly and our Labradoodle had an amazing time walking the many acres of the property and swimming in the pond. Wine tasting was on tap and our hosts had plenty of great recommendations. 5 star all the way!

Peaceful Perfection!

What an amazing and breathtaking spot for our 20th anniversary celebration! Karen and Pieter are the perfect hosts, very friendly and welcoming yet respected our privacy. The property is in a great location. It feels like you are in the middle of your own private oasis yet close to amenities and wineries. We loved relaxing by the pond in the Adirondack chairs, watching the wildlife and beautiful scenery. We did not want to leave. Thank you, Karen and Pieter! We cannot wait to return.

This is the first time we've stayed in a property that is better than the pictures show. Don't be fooled by "converted stable." It's large and beautiful. We brought our dog, and she loved exploring all the new sights and smells. All in all a great find.
