    El Mirador (from Spanish, from mirror to look, affording a view of the surroundings)

    This gorgeous, private, and gated 1.8-acre estate is located just behind the historic Sonoma Square in the country. Newly remodeled, the property features 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, a large living room with 13-foot French doors offering endless views of the Sonoma hills, and a 26-foot dining patio for gathering friends and enjoying the weather.

    Come enjoy the view over the pool, relax on a daybed suspended from a perfectly placed old oak tree while listening to the koi pond quietly cascading in the background, BBQ warming your dinner as you sample some local wine and cheese.

    El Mirador could be one of the finest places to sit and relax after a long day of wine tasting, hiking, ballooning, biking, shopping, or just enjoying the slow-paced local atmosphere.

    --------------------------
    Please note:
    * DOGS: Small/medium-sized dogs (less than 30 lbs) are permitted with prior approval for the stated daily fee per pooch. Note that larger dogs and long-haired dogs are not allowed in the pool.

    * PARTIES: The property is not permitted to host weddings, receptions, or large parties (more than 13 people). These events require a commercial license and insurance.

    * POOL: The pool is solar-powered and typically warm enough for swimming from April through October, often into November. During the hot summer months, temperatures can be 80+. New for 2021: insurance is now required, and we have added a secondary safety measure and a "kid-safe" fence around the pool.

    * SMOKING: This is a non-smoking property. Smoking will result in the loss of your deposit, as it is a serious offense.

    * VIDEO: The property has a security camera for the safety and security of the property and our guests. It is visible from above the garage and, for privacy, faces only the driveway and gate. As with all Nest/Blink cameras, it records video and audio for security.

    * COVID-19: If you are worried about COVID-19, please purchase appropriate trip insurance. We will refund your deposit if the county closes us, but otherwise, please purchase trip insurance.

    * SMOKE: Same as COVID-19, if the county closes us, we will refund your trip. Please purchase the appropriate trip insurance.

    * Please be aware that this listing shows up on Craigslist. The Craigslist post is a scam (they copy the listing and post the house for long-term rent)! Please flag it if you see it. Thank you, Steve.

Excellent property for a multiple couples or family stay. Well stocked kitchen. The views are amazing. It was not a problem, but two of the bedrooms and en-suite baths are separate from the main house. Hot water in the main house took between 5-10 minutes to get hot, so start your showers early. Overall, an excellent stay!

We had a wonderful stay! The house offered beautiful views and was very convenient to Sonoma Square. It was perfectly comfortable for our group of four couples, with plenty of space to relax. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and essentials, which made cooking easy, and the host was extremely responsive and informative throughout our stay. Highly recommend for a wine country getaway!

Beautiful house, just as pictured. Easy to get to Downtown Sonoma, but also secluded and able to enjoy the wonderful view. Spent most of our time outside by the pool. This was for a group of 8 adults, 4 couples. Plenty of space and we loved that each room had its own bathroom. Great house!

Relaxing girls trip to wine country

The property was absolutely beautiful. The view was amazing, the beds were comfortable, it was very clean and well appointed and was perfect for our group of 8 women. As we visited in January we didn't use the pool but that would be an added bonus during the warmer months!

Great location, beautiful views

House is a great location less than a 10 minute drive to Sonoma square with easy access to everything you need. It’s up in the hills so the views (and sunrises) were beautiful. Kitchen is very well equipped and we were able to host a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with the heaters on the patio. Easy check-in and lots of good recommendations from the host.

Great house in a great town

We had four couples - all in our 60's-70's looking for a fun four day wine country trip. This house was perfect for us. Four king bed bedrooms-each with private bath, pool, great view, kitchen with everything we needed. Steve was very responsive and easy to work with.

Wonderful Sonoma week

This house was just as advertised. We had a wonderful view of the sunrise most mornings. Tiffany came to the house and cooked us an amazing meal one night. There were 8 of us and we were all comfortable with our own king bedrooms with bathrooms. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Large Group House is Perfect!

Every room had a king size bed. Linens were luxurious! The patio dining and pool chairs were plentiful for our 7 and more. Large kitchen was helpful as we ended up cooking alot. Only 2 miles to Sonoma Square. Owner Steve was very responsive! They give you lots of recommendations for dining and wineries.

This was our second time to stay at this beautiful, peaceful property. Last time we didn’t spend as much time enjoying the gorgeous views and I was determined to spend more time at the house this time. Every evening we sat by the pool and looked out over the hills as the sun went down. The kitchen has pretty much everything you need if you want to stay there and cook. Love dining at the outdoor dining table over looking the pool and hills. The bedrooms were well appointed with plenty of room for suitcases unlike some hotel rooms. The proximity to town was great and despite being so close, we had complete privacy. I highly recommend this property. Excellent for 4 couples!!!

Amazing!

LWe were one of four couples staying at this lovely property while we enjoyed the Sonoma area. Every couple had their own bedroom with a king size bed and a private bathroom. We enjoyed the amenities the house had to offer daily (especially the pool!). Also, we thought the location of the property was ideal to downtown Sonoma and neighboring wineries. Finally, the host, Steve, was a pleasure to work with and very attentive to all of our inquiries. Overall, we had a great time at this property and the views, sunrise and sunsets were amazing!!!

Amazing House!!!

This house was stocked with everything you could think of, organized and simply wonderful! I celebrated my 61st bday with my 3 adult kids, their spouses and my 23 month old grandson. Although we weren’t able to utilize the pool, the outdoor dining area and living room was incredible. Bedroom situation provided perfect alone time but allowed us to all be together. We could a big dinner one night, ordered in one night and enjoyed tons of super restaurants. Wineries were fun and we took a drive to Bodega Bay as well as Train Town for my grandson. We take a Mom trip every year and this house was our favorite. Thanks for a memorable stay!!!!!

Best Vacation House!!!

We had four couples come from all over the country to celebrate our husbands 40th birthdays. All the husbands grew up together but don't see each other very often. This house was AMAZING!! We all four couples had our own King bedrooms and bathrooms- it also had an amazing living room and kitchen to all hangout and cook in. We had a chef come in and make dinner and the outdoor space with a huge table was a huge it! Everything was super clean and ready for us. I can't rave enough about this house- Thank you, Steve for everything with the house.. answering all of our questions..and checking in with us!! When we come back to Sonoma, we will definitly be staying here again!

Beautiful home in a great location

We spent 5 nights in early June with our two sons and their spouses. The layout of the house works really well with 4 king bedrooms all with their own bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are in the carriage house which is a few steps away. The location about 5 minutes above the Sonoma Square was convenient although not really walkable due to the steep incline and no shoulder. Steve provided some great information regarding local grocery delivery, names of chefs willing to cook at the property, and guide services in the area. The pool is lovely and stayed really warm throughout our stay. Having a private sleeping space for 4 couples and ample gathering space in the home made this the perfect choice for our family stay. Highly recommend this property!
