Property details

Welcome to Valley of the Moon, your delightful retreat nestled in Sonoma's picturesque wine country. Tucked away on 1.5 acres in the tranquil valley, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers the perfect escape for those seeking peace and privacy. As you step inside, you'll immediately feel at home. The charming formal living area boasts a fireplace and a large arc window, letting in natural light and views of the surrounding nature. In the back of the house, an open floor plan connects the family room, kitchen, and second dining area, creating the perfect setting for quality time with loved ones. Whip up delicious meals in the fully equipped kitchen, complete with an island and stainless steel appliances. There's plenty of space for your group to spread out with the additional den and upstairs loft, which is fully stocked with toys and games providing kids with endless entertainment. Outside, the large, private backyard beckons you to embrace outdoor living. Step onto the spacious deck, where an outdoor kitchen with a grill awaits. A shaded outdoor dining area provides the perfect place for alfresco dining at any time of day. After dinner, unwind in the hot tub or gather around the fire pit for cozy evenings under the stars. With a large lawn and patio seating area nestled in the middle, there's no shortage of ways to relax and enjoy the serene surroundings. Valley of the Moon boasts a prime location for experiencing all that wine country has to offer. Next to the charming town of Kenwood, Valley of the Moon is within walking distance of an abundance of wineries and less than a 5-minute drive from restaurants and the golf course at Valley of the Moon Club. Outdoor lovers will enjoy exploring the nearby Sonoma Botanical Garden, or the recreational activities at the nearby regional and state parks. Hood Moutain Regional Park, Trione-Annadel State Park, and Sugarloaf Ridge State Park are all just a 5-minute drive or bike ride away.

Known for its vineyards, local cuisine, and nature parks, Sonoma County (45 minutes from San Francisco) offers a wide array of activities for those looking to retreat from city life. World-class spas provide relaxation after a day of hiking in the Redwoods. A tour at a local winery is a must, followed by a farm-to-table dinner in town. While unwinding is certainly the attitude in Sonoma, activities like horseback riding, hot-air ballooning, and kayaking attract those looking for a little adventure. In the evening, watch the sunset over the vineyards and rolling hills, wine glass in hand.

This was the perfect place for our family's stay in Kenwood. It very much feels like home, with tons of toys and games for the kids to play with, an awesome kitchen, and a huge back yard area.

December 2025

The home was very cozy and spacious for our family, and we really loved the layout. The upstairs loft was a wonderful bonus as there were plenty of toys that kept our kids entertained. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. There are just a few areas that could be improved, such as the quality of the mattresses (concaved and squeaky), some moss buildup in the bocce ball court and on the slide set which limited our ability to use them, and the bathrooms could benefit from some updates. That said, it was a comfortable home and a great space for a family stay.
