Private Cottage on 4 Acres of Vineyards and Oaks
About this cottage rental
The Acorn House cottage is located approximately one hour north of San Francisco on scenic Highway 12 in Kenwood. It is a peaceful retreat on four private acres.

Acorn Cottage is generously appointed: shelves of books and movies, private hot tub and patio, and a bottle of petit verdot made from grapes grown on our property. If you are inclined to explore, an array of exciting activities are minutes away: hiking in mountains or along coastal beaches, golfing on nearby courses, dining in restaurants in Kenwood, Glen Ellen, and Sonoma, and wine tasting through Sonoma County's 13 viticulture regions. Napa Valley is just over the hill. Private parking for one car. Quiet time: 9 pm-7am Keywords: cottage, vineyard, Sonoma, Kenwood, wine country

Count yourself lucky to be able to stay at this private, vineyard cottage in the best part of Sonoma wine country. Kenwood has its own stunning vineyard estates nearby and is an easy drive to Sonoma town center as well as within easy range to the Russian River Valley, Napa, the Pacific coast, and more.
Bev and Jerry are the most gracious hosts; inviting us for wine and accompaniments in their private cellar for great conversation as well as area recommendations. Those being where to go for tastings and other adventures such as the Armstrong Redwoods and the Jack London estate. They even provided us with a great packing box for travelling back with our wine; and we filled it :-)
The property itself is basically your own private vineyard "Acorn Cottage" with wildlife, on beautifully landscaped grounds. A very unique setting. Looking forward to a return stay.
Thank you Bev and Jerry.

Beautiful, clean and accomodating! Our hosts keep a very lovely and well thought out rental! Complete with welcome snacks and wine from their own vineyard! We would 100% stay on this property again as it was homey, quiet and peaceful.

This is more of an experience than a rental property. Acorn Cottage was accurately described and the perfect size and privacy for two. There a several Sonoma wineries within 5-10 minutes and Napa Valley a nice 35 minute drive through the mountains. Jerry and Bev were great host and we look forward to coming back.

Acorn cottage was amazing 10/10 from us. Bev and Jerry are delightful. Very knowledgeable about the area. Go above and beyond any place we’ve stayed before. I felt like I was on a retreat.

From the moment we arrived, Bev and Jerry took great care of us! From the homemade banana bread, to the wine, cheese and other goodies left for us, we couldn't have asked for more. The property is stunning in its location and landscaping. Very private and secure.

The Acorn House is a lovely cottage and the hosts were exceptional. They were very accommodating and generous, including leaving us a Marin cheese and crackers, homemade banana bread, wine, beer and bottled water. The hot tub was great and the property is private and secluded.

Our stay at Acorn House was a wonderful, relaxing retreat in a beautiful setting with the most welcoming hosts we’ve ever had. The property is beautiful and very private. The cottage is so cozy and comfortable, and there is a lovely view of the 500-year old oak tree from the living room. We enjoyed an evening in the hot tub under the full moon. We had dinners at the Salt and Stone restaurant just down the road, which we highly recommend. Thank you Jerry and Bev for making our stay so special. We’ll be back!

This cottage is all you need to step back and relax. Bev and Jerry have been so thoughtful in making the experience a time to recharge. We enjoyed getting to know them. The giant oaks and beautiful gardens are a setting made to help you unwind.
5.0
The property is on 4 acres of immaculately kept property/vineyards/Cottage in Kenwood between Santa Rosa and Sonoma. The hosts treated us like family/best friends. UNPRECEDENTED - We were welcomed with a time of wine and hors d’ouevers to get to know our hosts when we arrived. I am encouraged to “pay forward” their hospitality to all people that God sends our way.
5.0
What a great property. Just as advertised. Close to great eating and wineries. We wish we had stayed longer. Bev & Jerry are the perfect hosts. The hot tub was well used and private. The home was stocked with wine, some munchies and drinks. The grounds and inside were in perfect condition. We will be back!!!

Acorn House is a beautiful escape! The peaceful grounds and clean, well-appointed cottage make for an ideal visit. Bev and Jerry are friendly hosts and you may even have the chance to sample
wine made from the vineyard outside the cottage. Acorn House is an idea base for adventures in Sonoma, Marin, or even Napa. Stop looking and book it now!

The Acorn House isn't just a property... it is an experience! Everything about our time here exceeded our expectations! It's located in a perfect central location for day trips to everything that wine country, the coast, and northern California has to offer. Bev and Jerry are the most gracious of hosts! They really are doing this right and you will see that in all the special details and thought that goes into everything they do for their guests! This was perfect for our 20th wedding anniversary getaway. We will forever cherish the memories!

The cottage and attention to detail both inside and out is incredible and still amazed at the landscaping around the property. Beverly and Jerry were great hosts and went above and beyond helping us navigate the area, activities etc. Would highly recommend and looking forward to going back in the future.

Delight… that feeling of finding a place that is more beautiful than the pictures, more comfortable than the descriptions, and more hospitable than we could have imagined. From the first day, we began calling the Cottage ‘home’. Our hosts we wonderful, accommodating, and gave great advice and suggestions for restaurants, wineries, and places to see. We’d like to suggest a rating of more than 5 stars for this one!

Acorn House exceeded our expectations. Private, quiet relaxing vacation rental with a ton of charm. Bev and Jerry go above and beyond to insure you enjoy your Sonoma stay. Especially the many little touches like robes and slippers, local cheese and crackers, drinks in the fridge and a bottle of their wine. Hot tub, gardens, vineyards and bird watching outside. Clean, well provisioned and comfortable inside. Close to many great wineries. Would definently return.

The Acorn Cottage was the perfect home base for a week exploring the Napa and Sonoma Valleys. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped to prepare our own meals as needed. Bev and Jerry are terrific hosts. The gave us wine, cheese and crackers upon arrival and invited us for wine and snacks one evening. The location was ideal for winery tours, hiking, and an easy drive to the coast. We loved it!

If you're looking for barking dogs at night, noisy neighbors or crowing chickens at dawn, then this place is not for you! If you want ratty linens, over-used pots & pans & saggy furniture, then this place is not for you! What you will find here instead is five-star quality cleanliness, spaciousness & genuine hospitality. What more needs to be said?

Pro's: Beautiful property, great location, cozy,unique decorations.
Con's: This place was not as private as we were anticipating. Bev and Jerry live steps away, and are very involved in your stay. For some this is a fabulous thing, for us we would have enjoyed more privacy. I booked this cottage to celebrate my mom on her birthday. When we arrived there was a miscommunication and the way Bev addressed the issue made us very uncomfortable which set a bad tone for the remainder of our stay. This was really disappointing given the other reviews stating how welcoming and hospitable the hosts were, unfortunately this was not our experience.
5.0
From the moment we arrived, we fell in love with the property. Check-in instructions were perfect. The acorn house was cozy and well appointed. We were welcomed by a bottle of wine and fresh baked banana bread. There were plenty of books and movies to enjoy and a comfortable bed to sleep in. Bev and Jerry recommended the Jack London state park and it was amazing and so peaceful. We could not recommend staying here anymore. Can't wait for our next stay here.

The Acorn Cottage is perfect for a couples getaway in wine country. Bev and Jerry are incredibly gracious hosts and were very easy to work with during and after booking.
The property is amazing and the views with the 500 year old Oak are stunning. We will be back!
5.0
The space is lovely. It suits a couple perfectly and offers all the basics needed for a comfortable stay. A small kitchen, efficient closet space, a full bath featuring a large tub with jets and a separate standup shower, hot tub, deck, fire pit and grill, hundreds of books, DVDs and CDs (if you are seeking couch-time entertainment), and so on.
Where it really counts is in the "you have to see it to really appreciate it" features. First, the hosts are as kind and warm as anyone we have ever come across. Authentically interested in getting to know new people and caring about their guests beyond expectations. Then there is the view from the large windows at the 500-year old oak tree that towers over the property, lit up by a morning sun. The peaceful quiet. The distance from any possibility of being disturbed - no road noise, no neighbors within earshot. even the wild life seems to value the silence.
The location is within 40 minutes of all of the little towns and all of the wineries, although the roads to get to the Napa side can be twisty. (One late evening we took the long way home to avoid the mountain pass.)
All in all, an amazing stay!

We are already planning on going back!

Everything about this cottage is perfect. The location in Sonoma county is right in the heart of wine country but close enough for a day trip to the coast. The cottage is beautifully decorated and the property is spectacular. Being right in a vineyard is the perfect way to relax. The hosts are super friendly and provided lots of unexpected personal touches to this trip. We definitely hope to return.

We had a wonderful stay at the Acorn House. Bev & Jerry were the sweetest and most gracious hosts. The cottage itself was so charming & such a pleasure to stay in. From all the lovely acorns adorning it, the warm fire crackling in the living area to the cozy robes and complimentary sandals provided for using the outdoor Jacuzzi. Oh and we must mention the loaf of delicious, homemade banana bread and bottle of wine!! Such a nice nice much!
Clearly hospitality is a true gift of theirs.
We would highly recommend a stay with Bev & Jerry!!
We hope to stay again!!

We stayed at Bev and Jerry’s adorable cottage the weekend of our 50th wedding anniversary. The listing on VRBO intrigued me from the beginning. The pictures looked charming and as it turned out, that’s exactly the way it was. It was also in a great location. There is everything one needs in a kitchen, plus a lovely back patio with a grill and fire pit. We didn’t have time to enjoy the hot tub but it’s so nice to know there is one available. The cottage has everything needed for a comfortable relaxing vacation. We felt so “at home” there and to make it even more special there was a loaf of delicious banana bread left for us, coffee or tea and some small snacks. Due to our flight being delayed, we arrived quite late and weren’t able to purchase anything for breakfast the next morning so that special touch really helped us start the day.
I can’t say enough about Bev and Jerry’s hospitality. They were very helpful with our late arrival, and left the lights on all around so we could find the cottage in the dark, and it is very dark there at night. They had some great suggestions for wineries and places to eat. One evening we were able to share a bottle of wine with them…..from their vineyard. The wine was delicious, definitely one of our favorites now, and the evening was so enjoyable visiting with them and sharing stories of grandchildren and experiences.
I made the mistake of scheduling us for too many tastings. We will be back, only we will spend more time at the cottage relaxing and just enjoying the grounds. We can’t say enough about this charming little piece of heaven and Bev and Jerry. It all really made our celebration memorable.

A quiet, private little cottage set among lovely gardens and vineyards. The hosts were friendly and very helpful with information about surrounding attractions. We were invited to join them for wine one night. Our every possible need had been anticipated. We definitely want to go back for another visit.
