Escape to Magical Spirit Hill Farm
About this house rental
Spirit Hill Farm is close to restaurants, dining, the beach, wineries, and art. We're just 10 minutes from downtown Sebastopol and less than 5 minutes from downtown Graton. We are also close to Santa Rosa, Occidental, Russian River, Bodega Bay and Healdsburg. The whole point of renting a house instead of booking a hotel is so your group can hang out together. While everyone always ends up in the kitchen, Spirit Hill Farm offers many alternatives, indoors and out. At any moment you might find yourself around a table, a fire pit, a bocce court, the hot tub or the pool. During your stay you are welcome to pick vegetables from our beautiful garden or gather eggs from our "girls" in the chicken coop. Built in 1909 by early settlers of Green Valley, Spirit Hill Farm is one of the oldest continually working farms in the area. It has an open floor plan that offer incredible views through every window. The property is situated on an acre of lushly landscaped grounds, and is surrounded by vineyards and orchards where the cycles of Nature play out under California skies. It's a magical place to stay!

Perfect in every way. We celebrated two 50th birthdays and a 10th birthday, rotating through old friends and family over the course of a week+. It is spacious but intimate with perfect gathering areas and secret garden cloisters.
The decor is fantastic, the location ideal and the management friendly and professional.
A perfect place for a self-directed, luxury country retreat.

We had an ideal weekend at Spirit Hill Farm. It is a stunning spot. The outdoor area had so many wonderful places to spend time - we enjoyed the exquisite flowers, the pool, the fire pit, cozy chairs, the vegetable garden... And the inside was so relaxing. We had joyful family dinners and game playing at the big dining room table. Proximity to lovely towns, the Russian River, and the beach was awesome. It was a perfect place for a get away.

Just an hour from San Francisco but a world away. Loved the chickens and farm fresh eggs, the bounty in the gardens, and the curated, thoughtful feel inside and outside the home.

Spirit Hill Farm was a perfect fit for this extended family and pure magic for the 2 and 5 year old grandchildren who used the pool, fed the chickens (thank you Hannah) and picked vegetables and apples. The extensive grounds and location by the vineyard are exquisite. We hope to return for a future visit!

We stayed at this property last year and it was near perfect...the only thing missing was a shaded dining area near the pool so we could eat and/or play games whilst also watching the kids swim. And this year, there's an amazing new VERY shaded pavilion right there! And there's more chickens - they aren't quite up to producing the amount of eggs we'd like for breakfast but I know they just need a bit of time. :)

This is our second time at Spirit Hill Farm. Again, we were so happy to be there. It is such a relaxing atmosphere. We loved the upgrades to the pool. The hot tub was amazing. My husband and son played bocce frequently and my daughter loved checking for eggs in the chicken coop. The basics are all covered here -comfortable beds, amazing showers, fully stocked kitchen. We will be back for repeat visits!

Spirit Hill Farm is a magical place. The setting next to a vineyard and orchard amidst gorgeous flower gardens is enchanting. The pool and hot tub were warm and exceptional and we had the added bonus of fresh vegetables and fruit plus fresh eggs from the chickens. The house is more beautiful than the pictures show. You will want for nothing. The owner has thought of everything to make your stay very special. We hope to return soon.

Beautiful property and a fun stay!
Melissa, Hannah and Adam were very responsive to our questions and needs when we were staying there. The property is gorgeous. There was a lot of detail and thought that went into this home to make sure you had everything you needed for your home away from home. The children had a blast with the pool and even got to meet some baby chicks.

Winter Weather - Warm Welcome
To confirm what others have said, this was the best and most thoughtfully stocked house we've ever rented. The kitchen especially had every pot, pan or tool for cooking and baking - better supplied than most of our homes! Olive oil, kiwis and lemons from the property trees were special treats, especially in winter for the visiting New England city dwellers.
Our intergenerational family group all had activities and places on the property to be together or have some quiet times. The bocce court and hot tub were favorites, as was the warm living room with fireplace.
Best of all, Hannah & Adam, the on-site managers, were excellent. They answered all questions and resolved minor problems quickly, with a helpful and friendly attitude. I will look forward to another stay in another season with more sunshine and warmer weather to more fully enjoy this beautiful property.

When we arrived Anne gave us a tour of the beautiful (and fully stocked) property! There were many thoughtful touches through out the property to make the stay more enjoyable. We enjoyed the pool, cutting fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs from the garden and gathering fresh eggs, bocce ball and the serene surroundings. The kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. we’re fully stocked with everything we needed too. The only minor draw back is you can hear cars/trucks from the front bedrooms at night but the street is not a busy street. We would highly recommend this property to others.

The house, grounds and hospitality exceeded all of our high expectations; , the on-site caretaker was wonderful and so accommodating, and the compound provided so many different venues for swimming, relaxing and enjoying the beautiful gardens. We so enjoyed nights at the fire pit with family and friends; the kids especially loved the pool, collecting eggs and the gathering fabulous produce especially the grapes, apples and figs; the house was so well stocked and beautifully appointed-the welcome basket, the kitchen and pantry supplies; the home was wonderfully designed with great attention to detail and style; we have traveled a lot and Spirit Hill was the best place we have ever stayed. We look forward to our return.

Simply the Best
We stayed for a long holiday weekend with another family - all kids aged 7-11. To put it simply it was perfect. We spent days playing Bocce ball, apple picking and swimming in the pool. We gathered eggs and beautiful produce from the garden. Evenings we spent roasting marshmallows at the fire pit or enjoying the lighting in the pool by night. The caretaker was fantastic and very responsive when we had questions. Teeny tiny piece of feedback is that it would be good to have a round table at the pool that we could use to play card games at…but seriously this place is so amazing!

Gorgeous House on Lovely Property
Six friends and I stayed 3 nights at SpringHill Farm. We had a great time! We hung out by the pool, picked apples and veggies and cooked our bounty, as well as visited the chickens. The home was extremely well stocked and every detail was covered. I highly recommend SpringHill. In fact I plan to stay again soon!

Everything about this place is amazing. It is breathtakingly beautiful, completely relaxing, and has an amazing host. There are so many different outdoor spots with their own vibe, and the interior is spacious and beautiful. To top it all off with gathering eggs from the chickens for your breakfast to browsing the garden for fresh herbs and salad fixings, it couldn't be more perfect.

Even better then expected!
What an amazing property! While the house is beautiful, comfortable and incredibly well-stocked, the outdoor area of this house is what makes it truly unique. As you exit through the back doors you enter what I can only describe as a secret garden. There are sitting areas tucked away in every corner, water features, a fire pit and the most gorgeous "country" pool I have ever seen. We felt like we were in Tuscany. The owners left a note to enjoy any of the edible plants and fruits in the garden and that we did! Apples, herbs, tomatoes, and fresh eggs from the chicken coop were put to good use. Our first morning, the onsite property manager even dropped off a fresh loaf of rosemary bread from the local bakery that we devoured. If you like to cook, this kitchen is for you. It has every appliance, 2 dishwashers, any pot, pan and serving tray you could think of. The large dining table could seat a large family for a holiday meal if you wanted and the home had an Alexa so we had music every night to accompany our meals. The house is located in the heart of the Sebastopol wine country and the town, complete with great restaurants and grocery stores, is only an 8-10 minute drive. Every moment of our stay was fabulous and my friends and I are already plotting our return. The BEST vacation home I have ever rented in wine country, hands down.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Spirit Hill. The owner and caretaker extended a very warm welcome, stocking the fridge, setting the house up specific to our party (eg two kids — s’mores fixings!). The gardens and pool and house were all well cared for and a joy to relax in. Thanks for such a lovely stay.

This property is stunning! The house is surrounded by gardens, an orchard, vines growing, and chickens! We loved swimming in the pool/ spa and using the fire pit post dinner. The property manager is kind and goes above and beyond to make your stay special. Would love to come back again!

I was completely delighted with our visit. The gardens, the many places to be outside (dining table, firepit couches, pool chaises, and vineyard-side lounge area), the great interior spaces for entertaining (dining room, large living room). For a group of 6 women, our stay exceeded our expectations in every way. Beds were incredibly comfortable, bathrooms were well appointed and immaculate, chef’s kitchen was a joy to work in. Our on-site hostess Anne answered every question and made sure we had everything we needed. I can’t wait to return.

We were a group of seven for a relaxing bachelorette weekend. The home was amazing. Even better than we anticipated. The house is stocked with all of the essentials and so many nice extras. The woman who lives on site as the caretaker is so warm and wonderful. Already checking the calendar to see when we can go again.

Spirit Hill Farm was an incredible getaway! Welcoming and incredibly well thought-out, we were continually impressed and surprised with the care and thought put into making guests feel welcome. We stayed for the Spring Break week with two 6 year-olds (yes, we're crazy). The kids lived in the pool and hot tub, loved playing frisbee on the lawn, and trying bocce ball. They offered lettuce to the chickens to say thank you for their eggs, helped collect herbs and lemons for dinner, and made s'mores while we pointed out constellations in the clear sky. The building manager, Anne, who lives in a separate guest house, was incredibly helpful whenever asked. We'd love to return, and can't speak highly enough of our stay at Spirit Hill Farm!

Spring Hill Farm is an impeccable place with amazing service and amenities to boot. Our entire family had an enjoyable weekend and our kids were very fond of the chicken and their eggs. Plotting a return for sure.

We had a wonderful time for the long president's day weekend. The house was in great condition with every amenity you could ask for and the land, animals, plants were both relaxing and managed to keep two very curious young girls well occupied. Anne provided great recommendations on places to go nearby that were high quality. She was both responsive and not intrusive. The hot tub was a little icing on the cake. Highly recommended.
