About this house rental

Welcome to Valley of the Moon, your delightful retreat nestled in Sonoma's picturesque wine country. Tucked away on 1.5 acres in the tranquil valley, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers the perfect escape for those seeking peace and privacy.

As you step inside, you'll immediately feel at home. The charming formal living area boasts a fireplace and a large arc window, letting in natural light and views of the surrounding nature. In the back of the house, an open floor plan connects the family room, kitchen, and second dining area, creating the perfect setting for quality time with loved ones. Whip up delicious meals in the fully equipped kitchen, complete with an island and stainless steel appliances. There's plenty of space for your group to spread out with the additional den and upstairs loft, which is fully stocked with toys and games providing kids with endless entertainment.

Outside, the large, private backyard beckons you to embrace outdoor living. Step onto the spacious deck, where an outdoor kitchen with a grill awaits. A shaded outdoor dining area provides the perfect place for alfresco dining at any time of day. After dinner, unwind in the hot tub or gather around the fire pit for cozy evenings under the stars. With a large lawn and patio seating area nestled in the middle, there's no shortage of ways to relax and enjoy the serene surroundings.

Valley of the Moon boasts a prime location for experiencing all that wine country has to offer. Next to the charming town of Kenwood, Valley of the Moon is within walking distance of an abundance of wineries and less than a 5-minute drive from restaurants and the golf course at Valley of the Moon Club. Outdoor lovers will enjoy exploring the nearby Sonoma Botanical Garden, or the recreational activities at the nearby regional and state parks. Hood Moutain Regional Park, Trione-Annadel State Park, and Sugarloaf Ridge State Park are all just a 5-minute drive or bike ride away. Valley of the Moon is also only 10 minutes from Morton's Warm Springs, Glen Ellen, and Jack London State Park.

AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips!

Known for its vineyards, local cuisine, and nature parks, Sonoma County (45 minutes from San Francisco) offers a wide array of activities for those looking to retreat from city life. World-class spas provide relaxation after a day of hiking in the Redwoods. A tour at a local winery is a must, followed by a farm-to-table dinner in town. While unwinding is certainly the attitude in Sonoma, activities like horseback riding, hot-air ballooning, and kayaking attract those looking for a little adventure. In the evening, watch the sunset over the vineyards and rolling hills, wine glass in hand.

The house was great. Enjoyed the hot tub, comfortable beds, and spacious rooms. The property management company was terrible though. They were totally unresponsive to questions within the app. They did not provide check in instructions before check in. We had to call to get them to send instructions. Then they sent incorrect instructions and we had to call again. They also send constant spam emails from the time we booked trying to upsell their services and I was afraid to opt out and miss important communications.

Overall we enjoyed our stay but we booked this property for the outdoor area and it definitely needs some care & upkeep. The outdoor pizza oven (still in the listing) is not operational and the fire pit didn't work. AvantStay offered to have someone come out and check the firepit but it was already in the evening and we declined due to the time of night but no one came during the remainder of our stay and the fire pit was unusable. The whole outdoor area looked like it wasn't readied for guests and gave off a neglected vibe. The deck hadn't been swept and the outdoor kitchen covered in cobwebs. The grill ignition didn't work either. The house is a different color than the listing too. We enjoyed the hot tub. The beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything you'd need to cook at home. The house felt like we were staying in someone's home. Every room was filled with furniture, books, and other ornamental items. It felt very cluttered and personal. We were only 2 couples but there was plenty of space for families with children to enjoy the loft and all the games. A little more attention to the outside and this would have been a great stay. We loved the location and proximity to the wineries. Dinner at Salt & Stone did not disappoint!

Wonderful property! The location is so central to all the wine regions. We feel that was our biggest plus. Very convenient. As for the house, the rooms are spacious. Furnishings are so nice. It felt like home! The kitchen is fantastic! There are more kitchen utensils than I have at home. We really enjoyed the hot tub. Every day, in fact. Tons of games and books and DVDs. Beds were comfortable (The guest bed is starting to “bowl” but it is still comfortable. I would consider replacing it soon.) We enjoyed the use of the washer and dryer a couple of times. The property manager (AvantStay) is very responsive. We had a concern about the A/C one evening. A technician came the next morning. All said, I highly recommend this location.
