The Kenwood House, a Place to Stay

The Kenwood House is a spacious yet cozy turn of the century, wine country cottage located on the Kenwood Plaza in Kenwood, California. We are located in the heart of Sonoma Valley, the famous Valley of the Moon. The Kenwood House, a luxury vacation rental, has been offering wine country lodging since 1998. Next door is the charming and historic Kenwood Community Church. The views from the front porch look onto the Kenwood plaza, a quiet, beautiful park. A seasonal creek flows next to the house through the gardens and into the plaza. Power outage protection, solar panels with Tesla battery backup.

Accommodations at the Kenwood House include two deluxe bedrooms with feather beds, down comforters and luxurious linens. The Living room has a brand new comfortable queen sleeper sofa .There are 1-1/2 baths and it includes a 6 person therapeutic spa (HOT TUB), spacious redwood decks, gas fire pit, gas BBQ, enchanting gardens, stone fireplace, central heating, air conditioning, free wireless internet, 60" flat screen TV, beautiful fully equipped sunny kitchen, washer and dryer.

The base rate for the house is for up to 4 guests. Two additional guests can be accommodated for an additional nightly rate of $30.00 per guest per night.

The house is approximately 1/4 mile from Hwy. 12 and is the perfect location for exploring the wine country of Sonoma and Napa valleys. Within easy walking distance are the Kenwood Winery, Kunde Winery and VJB. Also walking distance are two excellent restaurants with many more in Glen Ellen, Sonoma or Napa.

Within a 5 mile radius are 3 state parks offering many possibilities for outdoor recreation including biking, picnicking, hiking and swimming. Sugarloaf Ridge State Park offers excellent hiking as well as the Robert Ferguson Observatory, for a look at the night sky. Annadel State Park offers world class mountain biking, hiking and horseback riding. For a taste of history, literature, hiking or a leisurely walk, Jack London State Park is incomparable and uniquely Sonoma Valley.

Kenwood is located in the center of the wine country with hundreds of Sonoma and Napa Valley wineries within easy driving distance. Spa facilities are available nearby at the Kenwood Inn and other local day spas. For shopping, restaurants, history and more wine tasting, the town of Sonoma is only a short drive away.

Thank you for opening your home! It was perfect in size, layout, and amenities. We loved the setting, the quiet, the architectural details in the living room, the garden vignettes. Definitely a place to return

Fantastic All Around
Our stay in the Kenwood House was absolutely delightful. It’s an older home with incredible charm and character that’s been updated and the photos do not do it justice, especially the backyard, which was literally an expansive botanical oasis. It was a great homebase for our journey to all the vineyards in Napa and Sonoma counties and we had a delightful dinner one night at a nearby gastropub and brewery. Also the tasting room for Ty Caton vineyards near the gastropub was an unexpected surprise. I do have to share that our flight to SFO was delayed so we would be arriving at the house much later than expected. As we got closer to the town of Kenwood we couldn’t find a grocery store using the maps feature on our phones (not sure why as we later located a Safeway about 15 minutes from the house) but did find a 7-Eleven where we purchased a bottle of wine and some snacks. We needn’t have bothered because when we got to the house there was a bottle of Kenwood Vineyards wine and a wheel of Camembert cheese and some crackers waiting for us – such a treat! We would stay here again in a heart beat!

My family and I can't say enough about how much we loved the Kenwood House! Charming, lovely home with beautiful yards and quiet neighborhood. The pictures don't do it justice. It's truly wonderful! And the home is spotless and equipped with everything we needed. It's also in a good central location between Glen Ellen / downtown Sonoma and the Santa Rosa area. Not having stayed in many vacation homes before I was prepared to be disappointed. But instead, was so happily surprised. And another in our family, who has stayed in many vacation homes, said this was the best experience he's had. We will recommend this home to anyone going to Sonoma!

Beyond Wonderful!!!
This by far with the best VRBO I have ever stayed in! The property was absolutely beautiful. The backyard was the perfect place for friends to sit and share a glass of wine. The hosts had so many small details that made our stay perfect from the music going in the house on arrival to fresh flowers on the table. I without a doubt plan on returning, and this property set the bar high for any other vacation rental!

Great place to stay in great location
Fantastic cottage for 2 families to enjoy for 3 nights. We were welcomed with the sweetest little gifts and bottled water which we truly enjoyed. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, beds were very comfortable and bathrooms were updated and clean. Loved the music as we entered the home, was so welcoming. We spent some time out front and enjoyed the rockers to relax. The grounds are filled with beautiful plants and trees that looked beautiful. Thank you for such a great stay.

PERFECT!
Could not have asked for a better setting for our 18-year friendship with backpack friends from Texas and Colorado. We actually had dinner reservations for all three nights and after arriving canceled two of the nights so we could enjoy the relaxed, zen feeling of the home. Besides days were filled with hiking at Sugarloaf Ridge and Jack London, so happy not to rush and get ready to leave for dinner. The Kenwood cottage will not disappoint! Can’t wait for a return visit.

Kenwood House is surrounded by gardens and rocks and gates and walkways - a beautiful setting for a cozy, perfectly equipped house. We were very close to wineries, great restaurants and shopping but were also able to snuggle into the comfort of this home.
