About this cottage rental

Situated in Napa Valley, this charming cottage for $765 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. The Ranch on Sonoma Mountain is an historic guest ranch situated outside the charming village of Glen Ellen in Sonoma County. Located on the slope of Sonoma Mountain with breathtaking views of the valley, the Ranch is unlike any other vacation rental in Sonoma, combining luxury accommodations with a farm stay experience. The Ranch on Sonoma Mountain is an ideal vacation destination for families or anyone interested in wine country living as it has been experienced by California families for over a century. At the Ranch you have the opportunity to relax in 'the Cottage', a luxury, private 3-bedroom home with private wooden hot tub while enjoying all the Ranch has to offer, including a salt water pool with panoramic valley views, seasonal organic vegetable garden, orchard, blackberry and strawberry patches, chicken coop and more. The Cottage at The Ranch on Sonoma Mountain was built in 1898 as the primary guest quarters for the popular Bruning's Summer Resort from the late 1800s to 1915. The Cottage is situated at the end of a private drive on twelve acres of rolling hills studded with oak trees, vineyard and orchards. Recently remodeled (with upgraded HVAC) and professionally decorated in a comfortable agrarian chic style, the Cottage has an open and bright floor plan, gourmet kitchen with Viking Range, three bedrooms (including an old-fashioned sleeping loft), and two full baths. Please note, the Cottage is a vintage, 120+ year old home located in an agrarian setting and is best suited for guests who enjoy indoor/outdoor living. The Ranch is conveniently located approximately one and a half hours from San Francisco and is accessible from downtown Glen Ellen as well as from Highway 101 via Rohnert Park or Santa Rosa. A Day at The Ranch on Sonoma Mountain: In the morning, sip your coffee or tea outdoors while enjoying the abundant wildlife including rabbits, wild turkeys, quail and more. For breakfast, collect you own fresh eggs from our pasture raised chickens, pick wild blackberries and gather seasonal fruit from our orchard. In the afternoon, grab some towels, pack some cold drinks in the red wagon and follow the gravel path to the pool. While you splash and play, enjoy panoramic views of the valley. On your way back to the cottage, gather pick fresh seasonal fruit for your dessert (blackberries, figs, French plums and rhubarb grow along the path). In the evening, enjoy a glass of wine on our view deck or take a stroll up Sonoma Mountain Road and enjoy the many vineyards that surround us. For dinner, snip baby lettuce, pick heirloom tomatoes off the vine and gather other fresh vegetables and herbs from our abundant organic garden. Enjoy the sunset as you dine outdoors on our generous deck overlooking Sonoma Valley. Later, gather around the outdoor fire pit for marshmallow roasting. Before bed, enjoy a nip of Madeira and a biscotti on the view deck and savor the starry silence of life in wine country.

We had a great weekend stay. Loved picking fruit and veggies from the garden and relaxing in the hot tub. Gorgeous views! There was an issue with the septic system (someone before us had flushed wipes--don't do that!) and they handled it immediately and gave us a bottle of bubbly for our trouble. Highly recommend this place!

Every year a group of us (6 women; ages 34-44) get together in October to celebrate 3 Oct birthdays and overall friendship. The host responded to questions prior to booking and throughout the lead up to our stay. We arrived after dark and roads are very winding, narrow, and hilly (use caution). Upon arrival the host had a bouquet of fresh flowers with a welcome card (as well as a book with everything house related). We visited both Napa and Sonoma wineries and the drive was completely manageable to all our locations. The house was perfect. Plenty of out door amenities, sitting areas, fire places and BEAUTIFUL VIEW!! The house is a bit older (in the fact that the walls are SUPER thin) and you can hear everything if you are in either of the mail level bedrooms. Suggest brining nose canceling devices/sound machine...however it was still a perfect stay!! Would absolutely recommend staying here to anyone.

We booked this home with friends to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday and staying here at this little slice of heaven was by far the highlight of our entire wine country trip! The cottage is even more beautiful than the photos and the property itself just blew us away- we all said outloud "we're so lucky to get to stay here!" We had so many fun things planned but actually cancelled a few things just so we could spend more time at this home. There are more areas than you can count to lounge, relax, celebrate and just enjoy... we enjoyed the hot tub at least twice a day, the fire table sofa area was our favorite at sunset and we had breakfast every morning at the chic barn-house using fresh eggs & all the fruits, veggies & herbs we could carry from the amazing gardens right there on the property. We So appreciated all of the high end appliances and well-stocked kitchen for all the meals we cooked there. Communication with Kristin was so easy and helpful. We cannot wait to someday return to this incredible place!

We had such an amazing & lovely time staying at this ranch! It was even nicer and more charming than I expected. The views from the deck are expansive and gorgeous! There are ample charming places to sit and read or relax, or enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine, or eat a meal outdoors with your family or friends. The house was very clean and very well appointed (plenty of towels, good cookware, nice comfy furniture and millions of pillows, games, coffee table books, books by historic local author Jack London, etc). The kids loved the pool and the zip-line. We all loved going to gather eggs for breakfast from the chicken coup. The blackberries you pass on the way to the pool are honestly the sweetest I have ever tasted (and we picked enough to make ourselves a delicious pie!). The hot tub I only used on the last night, and regretted it, as it it a lovely wooden hot tub under the stars... I should have used it every night! This is one place that we will certainly be returning to... a very special little home on a lovely piece of land! Thank you for making our stay so peaceful and memorable!

We couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay. The house and grounds were wonderfully maintained and very well equipped for anything we wanted to accomplish. Full on high end Viking stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave for cooking as well as we do at home. Farm fresh eggs and greens from the organic garden just put it over the top. We loved the hot tub, and many great hang out areas provided. Both gas firepits gave us the warmth and ambiance we were looking for while enjoying the outdoor space. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, including extra high quality ingredients we were able to enjoy to enhance our meals. The overall feeling from the property was super cozy, and home-like if that makes sense. We were able to settle right in and feel at home within minutes. So thankful for our time at the historic guest ranch.
