El Mirador (from Spanish, from mirror to look, affording a view of the surroundings)
This gorgeous, private, and gated 1.8-acre estate is located just behind the historic Sonoma Square in the country. Newly remodeled, the property features 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, a large living room with 13-foot French doors offering endless views of the Sonoma hills, and a 26-foot dining patio for gathering friends and enjoying the weather.
Come enjoy the view over the pool, relax on a daybed suspended from a perfectly placed old oak tree while listening to the koi pond quietly cascading in the background, BBQ warming your dinner as you sample some local wine and cheese.
El Mirador could be one of the finest places to sit and relax after a long day of wine tasting, hiking, ballooning, biking, shopping, or just enjoying the slow-paced local atmosphere.

Please note:
* DOGS: Small/medium-sized dogs (less than 30 lbs) are permitted with prior approval for the stated daily fee per pooch. Note that larger dogs and long-haired dogs are not allowed in the pool.
* PARTIES: The property is not permitted to host weddings, receptions, or large parties (more than 13 people). These events require a commercial license and insurance.
* POOL: The pool is solar-powered and typically warm enough for swimming from April through October, often into November. During the hot summer months, temperatures can be 80+. New for 2021: insurance is now required, and we have added a secondary safety measure and a "kid-safe" fence around the pool.
* SMOKING: This is a non-smoking property. Smoking will result in the loss of your deposit, as it is a serious offense.
* VIDEO: The property has a security camera for the safety and security of the property and our guests. It is visible from above the garage and, for privacy, faces only the driveway and gate. As with all Nest/Blink cameras, it records video and audio for security.
* COVID-19: If you are worried about COVID-19, please purchase appropriate trip insurance. We will refund your deposit if the county closes us, but otherwise, please purchase trip insurance.
* SMOKE: Same as COVID-19, if the county closes us, we will refund your trip. Please purchase the appropriate trip insurance.
* Please be aware that this listing shows up on Craigslist. The Craigslist post is a scam (they copy the listing and post the house for long-term rent)! Please flag it if you see it. Thank you, Steve.

We had a great time. Close enough to all that Sonoma offers, while being just off the beaten path; a great quiet retreat for our family.

Such a great encounter with Sonoma! Our party of 8 travels together frequently and we know when we walk into a welcoming home. Steve has taken care of many details that deliver on the spa experience he promised. You can actually cook in this kitchen! High quality pots, utensils, serving dishes, stove, oven, etc… it’s what you’d want in your own home. The gathering spots are spacious and have enough comfortable furniture so you can just hang out comfortably. The covered patio and east view of the valley is where the money is. Just awesome. We one stay-in, home cooked dinner and it was memorable. The bedrooms are comfy with quality bedding and bathroom accessories. The grounds are beautiful and spacious. Getting to the right gate entrance is a little tricky so try to arrive when the sun is up. Steve is very attentive pre, during and post stay. You’ll receive a House Information Book that is second to none. Well done!

We had a wonderful stay! The house offered beautiful views and was very convenient to Sonoma Square. It was perfectly comfortable for our group of four couples, with plenty of space to relax. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and essentials, which made cooking easy, and the host was extremely responsive and informative throughout our stay. Highly recommend for a wine country getaway!
6 / 10Average·Oct 2024
We traveled with 4 adult couples to the wine country. Chose this property for the location, view, pool, and four full bedrooms. We recommend it but one catch, be careful of Sonoma electricity outages.
Pros:
7 minutes up the mountain from downtown Sonoma
View of the valley at was beautiful
4 bedrooms with full bathrooms
Pool overlooking valley, Weber gas grill for cooking
Gated property, Full kitchen, (no K cup, bring ground coffee and filters)
Beds comfortable, plenty of quality linens
Cons: A notification came out the day before we went, noting that our power was going to be out for the four days that we were there. We were not notified of this. lucklyish, only out for 54 hours. We were not notified that this was going to happen. The house should have been prepared for this incident with a generator. This is something that is happeing in that area right now. Not uncommon.
Pool- Did not have use of the pool for half our stay because it was covered. Pool was around 78 degrees with the solar cover
Showers- showering for 8 adults out of two hot water showers was not pleasant and very intrusive. No electricity 2 nights, 2 on gas, 2 electric hot water heaters.
No power for blower dryers and flatirons
Sister in law could not use her Bipap machine 2 ngiths (dangerous)
Could not charge computers to do work for 2 days.
Had to leave Van running to charge phones.
Could not get in gate one night due to gate not working.
If no electrical outage it would be 5 *.
