Green Valley Retreat

Description

Green Valley Retreat is a magnificently remodeled home with high-end taste. It's a wine county gem in an agricultural community celebrated for the Farm to Table food movement. Charming and renowned restaurants and wineries are minutes away, but you can pick fresh produce from the massive guest garden and (newly planted) orchard. Additional fruit trees are scattered throughout the property. With a large in-line gas BBQ on the back deck, and choice dining in or outside, guests love cooking in as much as going out. The kitchen boasts plentiful counter space, deluxe appliances and quality accessories.

The attention to details like original artwork, ample lighting, 60+ inch TV and access to fresh cut flowers from the garden make for an excellent retreat. The main house boasts 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms along with an office/laundry room, and living and dining areas off the large kitchen. Just outside - off the back deck - are an additional full bathroom and an outdoor shower for your trips to the pool and hot tub (built into the pool).

The Pool House offers an additional sleeping space with a Queen Murphy bed and sleeper sofa in case your group isn't all couples - the maximum occupancy is still 6 people total. It's also a media room - perfect for movie time - and things like a break from the sun and gourmet coffee station.

In addition to the gardens and front yard orchard, the backyard contains a meadow of native bunch grasses - not your typical lawn - along with a stand of redwood trees, oodles of flowers, multiple seating areas, and one of our favorite built-in propane fire pits. BYOM (Bring Your Own Marshmallows). You may never want to go home!

Traveling for work? Everyone can have their own bed at Green Valley Retreat. This is an excellent location for your off-site executive retreat!

Road to Green Valley Retreat:
Green Valley Road is a country road - paved, with some pot holes, and no special vehicle is required. We provide detailed written driving directions to confirmed guests.

Pool & Hot Tub Temperatures:
The pool is solar heated Memorial Day through September to approx 82°. It is not heated the rest of the year. It will be cold, but you may still use it. The hot tub is built into the pool. Once turned on, it will heat to approximately 102°. During the summer, it will heat up quickly. During the rest of the year, depending on how cold the pool water is, it can take 45 minutes or longer to heat up. The hot tub heater shuts off after 3 hours but can be reactivated. It does not operate between midnight and 7 am.

The Meadow:
In the backyard is a meadow of native bunch grasses. It is not a lawn and is not mowed like a lawn. The grass is very sturdy and more drought tolerant. Feel free to walk, run, romp and play in the meadow!

Stairs:
There are several sets of 2 to 4 steps throughout the property - all outside. Inside the main house and the main front and back decks are all on one level. The Pool House is a separate building and down 3 or 4 steps depending which path you take.

The back yard is fully fenced.

Iron Horse Vineyards is the closest winery with a tasting room just 1.8 miles from the house. There are at least a dozen wineries within a few miles.

We stayed at this property for a family weekend and had a wonderful time. The house was amazing and exceeded expectations. The kitchen was a joy to work in and made it possible to have some fantastic meals. Great location with easy access. We're planning to come back and stay during the summer so we can enjoy the amazing back yard and pool!

Loved this property, and my husband who is a Chef loved this kitchen. We've stayed in many different vacation homes and this one by far exceeded our expectations in the kitchen department. It was stocked with every kind of utensil and appliance needed, plenty of platters and plates for our Christmas dinner. The setting was beautiful, and so relaxing. The perfect getaway from the city. I do wish that there was a TV in the living room of the main house (we missed our yule log) but we quickly were able to adapt and entertain ourselves.
Cant wait to come back during the summer and enjoy the pool!!

We rented this house over Thanksgiving weekend and it was fantastic. The house and property are in exceptional condition and the house is very well stocked and organized. There is everything you need to cook, dine, read, and play (even games for kids too!). The surroundings are peaceful and quiet. The hot tub/spa is new and so nice. All of the information provided about the area is great too. We know (and love) this area of Sonoma well and all recommendations and nearby listings are excellent and spot on. Our time there felt truly restorative.

Beautiful property. Even better when you get it at the offseason rate. It is perfect for entertaining but the strict rules in regards to occupants/visitors really limits the opportunity.

-Airbnb Guest-

From Russian River Vacation Homes:

Thank you so much for staying with us! We are so glad that you enjoyed the house - and the off season rate! =) We shall hope to host you again!

Sonoma County does have very specific occupancy and quiet hour criteria that all homes must adhere to in order to be permitted. Green Valley Retreat can have 8 people during the day, and 6 guests overnight. Quiet hours are from 10:00pm to 9:00am, and the extra two day guests would need to leave the property by the time quiet hours begin. We appreciate our guests cooperation with this criteria. =)
