Perks for the Parents
In the heart of Sonoma Wine Country, this craftsman home on a country estate has views of rolling hills and a layout that suits families. Set up with a main house with a full upstairs bedroom wing for children, plus a pool, huge deck and patio and a 2-story play house in the garden, there is space for families to relax and play. The separate guest house on the estate has a queensize bed and can sleep a nanny or au pair. Extra treats for parents include an outdoor kitchen and wine estates within a short drive. As a gated property surrounded by trees the estate is perfect for families or large groups that value space, serenity and privacy.
Why Kids Love it
The house is a dream come true for families: set up with a whole upper wing dedicated to kids, there is a fantastic dorm bedroom (air beds can be added if needed) and a bathroom with shower and oversized tub. This area has a wall-mounted TV. The gardens include a heated pool, large terrace and 2-floor playhouse built by the original owner’s daughter, providing a great place to play. The separate guest house might be a great place for teenagers to stay if they need/want more privacy. There is a petting zoo in Sebastopol a few minutes' drive away, and Bodega Beach is around 25 minutes' drive from the house.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 5 nights. Note that the pool, stairs and hot tub are not gated: children must be supervised in these areas. There are steps in and around the property that are not gated - young children will need an extra hand. Pets are accommodated only under specific conditions so please inquire directly for details; an extra pet deposit is required. A crib and high chair can be provided on request. There is parking for 4-5 cars.

Air beds are also available for this second bedroom.

Style Notes
Contemporary craftsman. This stunning residence was built in 2007 in the craftsman style. Smartly designed with wood-colored themes in the common areas and brighter colors in the bedrooms and bathrooms, it has a stunning redwood exterior and beautiful grounds. Inside the house, cathedral-style windows let in the light and add a graceful touch. The living is easy around the pool deck, where views stretch for miles across wine country, and in the pretty well-tended gardens. We love the fun kids dorm bedroom, the outdoor kitchen for superior in-house cooking, and the stunning art throughout.
