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!

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 and Hot Tub Temperatures:
POOL: The pool's solar heating system is switched on April through October. Since this is solar heating, the temperature of the pool can vary depending on the amount of sun and the current air temps. Typically, the pool will be around 82° end of May through September. The pool is not heated November through March. It will be cold, but you may still use it.

HOT TUB: 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 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!

I may never get over the garden

Reviewed on 2023-07-04 by Billy

Overall

We’ve stayed in Airbnbs in five continents, and this was one of the most beautiful. I may never get over the garden, our children picking fresh blueberries and strawberries and popping them straight into their mouths! The kitchen was unbelievably stocked, a culinary enthusiasts dream- we laughed every time they happened to have an obscure cooking gadget we’d wished they had. Fresh basil, onions, apples, berries, mint, pansies- each were inspiring additions to our dish. In addition to the gorgeous garden and kitchen, we loved the pool and hot tub, pool house, outdoor shower and bathroom. The cover on the pool brought peace of mind when not in use too. They thought of every detail in stocking this home- linens, supplies, books, coffee, etc. I felt spoiled. Wear your sandals out on the deck, we all had quite a few splinters! All in all, it was a gorgeous home, private, and great for winding down with home cooked meals and a nice bottle of wine.-via Airbnb

Hello Billy, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We would love to host you all again. The garden is definitely one of the many reasons to stay at Green Valley Retreat. Thank you for being fantastic guests :)

This place was gorgeous!

Reviewed on 2022-09-26 by Carolyn

Overall

This place was gorgeous! We had a very well equipped kitchen, the pool was amazing, the garden provided figs, tomatoes, fresh herbs. It was in a quiet location a bit off the beaten path-so organizing transportation in advance or renting a car is a good idea (we used Sonoma Sterling Limo). The hot tub required at least an hour to heat up if you wanted to use it. The beds were comfortable, there was a washer/ dryer and plenty of towels for all of us. This was a belated 40th birthday gathering of 6 girlfriends and we absolutely loved it. Highly recommend.-via Airbnb

Manager's Response

Hello Carolyn, we are thrilled you enjoyed your stay at Green Valley Retreat! The garden is so bountiful and well tended to for everyone's enjoyment!

Happy belated birthday!!!!! :)

This property caught my eye several years ago when I was daydreaming about staying in wine county in style. My family and I finally took the opportunity to visit and we wish we could have stayed longer. At no point did we wish the property had something it didn’t have..

Usually in a rental review I'll try to give a heads up to help future guests avoid problems, but none needed here - there are no drawbacks and only relaxation in your future. Thank you to the hosts!!

This is a great property for a weekend away! We loved the garden, the house is immaculate and well decorated, and love the automated shades, pool cover, and general investment in quality cook ware. Some small touches that would make it even more approachable: some laundry detergent, aluminum foil, and plastic wrap for folks staying here for more than a few days would make sense given how stocked the kitchen is already and there are not that many towels, which means you have to do laundry. Would come back!

The kitchen was beyond well stocked. Everything you could need was there and more. Bring your groceries or have Whole Foods deliver and you never have to leave!3. The whole house is hooked up to a Sonos sound system and you can play Spotify music with a touch of a button.4. The garden is out of this world - plenty of fresh lettuce, chard, and winter greens. 5. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of pillows and extra blankets.A few minor tweaks on a basically perfect house:1. The deck had splinters, could use a fresh seal.2. Bring your own coffee ground or beans!3. The bath towels were pretty starched and crisp and were uncomfortable.All in all, we will definitely be back. I cannot recommend this home enough!

Our office missed the communication. We appreciate you handling the situation. While quiet hours may seem strict, it may help to know that vacation rental quiet hours are set in place and enforced by the County of Sonoma (along with occupancy and parking standards) and are a much better alternative to an outright ban on vacation rentals.

We're planning to come back and stay during the summer so we can enjoy the amazing back yard and pool!

Christmas Getaway

Overall

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!!

Overall

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.Source: VRBOManager Response: Dear Heather, Thank you for taking the time to write a review, and thank you for being a wonderful guest!
