You cannot believe how amazing this place is until you see it. On the outside, the property is pretty unassuming, but once you go in, it's everything you would expect from a luxury vacation home. The house is in a residential neighborhood but feels very private and secluded. From most rooms of the house, you wouldn't even know there are neighbors, and from the pool, you can just see one house through the trees. If you like to cook, you will love the kitchen -- 6 burner gas stovetop, huge oven, stainless steel cookware, lots of counter space, functional lighting, well designed for socializing with room for friends and family to hang out with you while you're cooking without getting in your way. The master bedroom has a fantastic view of the hills. The second bedroom has a bunk bed with a full size bed on the bottom and twin on top. The third bedroom has two twin beds plus a twin trundle bed. The separate cottage is quiet and stays nice and cool in the summer. I love that the house is so conveniently located. It takes an hour to drive there from Berkeley. It's less than 10 minutes by car down the hill to Sonoma square and Whole Foods. We take our little one to the park in the middle of Sonoma square. There are two areas with sand, play structures and swings, one designed for little kids and one for older kids with a ridiculously high slide. There are public restrooms in the park and a duck pond. The whole park is clean, well shaded and very comfortable in the summer when it can get quite hot. If our teenager has a friend with her, they will take themselves to the cafe across the street from the park to have lunch and then stroll around the square shopping or checking out the galleries. I believe several places around the square offer wine tasting but I have only been to Hwy 12's wine counter which was inside a cute store. If you have kids who love trains, Train Town is a two minute drive down Main Street. The train ride stops at a petting zoo where you can feed the goats and a couple of llamas. They also have a merry go round and other rides. The last time we stayed here, my husband brought his bike and explored the countryside. Afterwards, he met me and the kids at the park and we drove back up the hill. (He was trilled to be able to ride down the hill --which he said was the funnest part of the ride-- and not have to make the climb back on his bike.). There is no shortage of things to do, or just enjoy the amazing house and relax in style.
