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.

We loved our stay at the Kenwood house! The property was perfect for a girl weekend with 4 guests - we didn’t want to leave. The backyard is so charming and quiet - great for reading, relaxing in the hot tub, or enjoying a meal in the backyard. The hosts were so thoughtful and responsive. There are a few shops and restaurants in walking distance, but it was also super easy to get an uber to explore most of Sonoma county. I can’t recommend the kenwood house enough!

Oasis in The Park

The Kenwood House was exactly everything we hoped it would be. A country cottage with all the modern touches to make our visit comfy, cozy and convenient. Hiked in Jack London park, headed over the mountain one day to visit Napa area, then up to Healdsburg the second day for a wonderful wine tasting at Stonestreet Winery. Enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings. We recommend The Kenwood House to anyone looking for a country home away from home

Little bit of heaven

Thai cottage is even nicer than the pics and the hosts make it a remarkable experience. It’s close to great restaurants and wineries. The backyard is an oasis and the cottage feels at home the minute you walk in. The bed linens are lovely and Don and Amy know the little items that make it feel like home. Will be back next year…

An Excellent Wine Country Getaway

We absolutely loved this property and have already recommended to a lot of our friends! The location is nice and central to all the different wine regions! It was great to spend the morning drinking coffee in the gardens and come back at the end of the day and enjoy wine there as well!

Perfect for the Weekend

My husband and I traveled to Kenwood with my childhood best friend to attend the BottleRock Festival in Napa. The Kenwood House was perfect for us and our stay. Our only disappointment was that we weren't able to enjoy the house amenities because of the busy festival schedule. We will definitely stay there again!
