Summary:

Sunlight pours through floor-to-ceiling windows as hillside oaks frame your view of the Sonoma Valley. This contemporary retreat sleeps 8 across four king bedrooms, pairing designer interiors — navy accents, gold fixtures, a linear fireplace — with a private hot tub set among lavender and native grasses. Glen Ellen Star is 0.4 miles away and Jack London State Historic Park just one mile from your door. Soak under the stars, wake to mountain views, and let the valley do the rest.



The Space:

Chardonnay Getaway is a 2,240-square-foot contemporary home spread across two Glen Ellen hillside levels, with mountain and valley views from nearly every room. Navy, white, and gold accents run throughout.



Mornings start with espresso on the Ipe deck above the Sonoma Valley, the hillside oaks just catching light. Afternoons fan out to Glen Ellen tasting rooms and the Jack London trails, then back to the kitchen island to uncork a bottle and sear something on the gas grill. Evenings collapse into the hot tub among the lavender, hills fading gold to indigo, the wine fridge a few steps away.



OUTDOOR LIVING

The private hot tub sits among lavender and ornamental grasses with hillside views. A raised deck with lounge chairs provides a second retreat, the gas grill handles alfresco cooking, and the Ipe deck offers valley-view dining.



THE VALLEY OF THE MOON

Glen Ellen Star's Bib Gourmand wood-fired cooking is 0.4 miles from the driveway, The Mill at Glen Ellen serves American classics in an 1839 building a mile out, and Songbird Parlour sets a modern six-course tasting menu the same distance. Benziger pours biodynamic wines 0.8 miles away, the Village Market covers provisions at 0.5, and Jack London's ranch trails start one mile up the hill. A Tesla solar roof with Powerwall backup and electronic shades keep the home running efficiently, and central AC handles valley summers that regularly top 90°F.



SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

Four bedrooms — all king beds — sleep up to eight. Finishes range from a geometric pendant and gray headboard to navy accents with a gold mirror, and a wood-frame bed with hillside views.

The Neighborhood:

Glen Ellen is the hidden gem of Sonoma Valley — a tiny village known for boutique wineries, farm-to-table dining, and Jack London State Historic Park (1.0 mi), where 1,400 acres of forest, meadows, and vineyard trails await. Glen Ellen Star (0.4 mi) holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition for its wood-fired seasonal dishes. The Mill at Glen Ellen (1.0 mi) serves American classics in a historic 1839 building. Songbird Parlour (1.0 mi) offers a modern six-course tasting menu. Morning pastries at Les Pascals Patisserie (0.5 mi) are a Glen Ellen ritual. For wine, Benziger Family Winery (0.8 mi) runs a popular biodynamic tractor tour, and tasting rooms like Laurel Glen Vineyard (0.5 mi) and Wine Snob (0.5 mi) are in the village center. Glen Ellen Village Market (0.5 mi) handles grocery needs.



Getting Around:

Glen Ellen is about 75 minutes from San Francisco via 101 and Highway 12 — a scenic drive through Sonoma Valley vineyards. Parking for 3 vehicles at the property. A car makes Sonoma Valley easy to explore — tasting rooms, restaurants, and parks run up and down Highway 12. For tasting days, plan a designated driver or book a rideshare ahead — it makes the whole day easier.



Other Things to Note:

THERE IS CONSTRUCTION NEXT DOOR - Usually Mondays through Fridays

This energy-efficient home features a Tesla solar roof with Powerwall backup, electronic shades for light control, and a remote-operated gas fireplace. Central A/C keeps things comfortable during Glen Ellen summers, which regularly exceed 90°F.

Your dog is welcome (one dog max, 50 lb limit). The primary renter must be 21 or older.

Cell service is generally reliable in the valley but can drop in the surrounding hills.

The house sits on a busy road with a blind driveway — use extra caution when entering and exiting, as there is limited visibility and no road shoulder.

Dark, quiet nights are part of Glen Ellen's appeal, so pack a flashlight if you plan to stargaze from the deck.
