About this house rental

Summary:
Enjoy peace and quiet on this historic 50 acre ranch in the beautiful Bennett Valley. Property includes a newly renovated 4 bedroom/3 bath home with decks overlooking seasonal pond and surrounding wildlife, two historic barns and your own meadow.

The Space:
The home is perched on a hillside with 270 degree views and floor to ceiling windows in the common areas decorated in a modern, minimalist style. The hot tub on it's own dedicated deck is set at 103 degrees.

Guest Access:
The Van Keppel Ranch includes a seasonal pond with dock, acres of meadowland, heritage oak trees, three natural springs, access to Taylor Mountain Regional Park affording miles of hiking, and unobstructed views of the surrounding valley and Mt. Saint Helena to the north. Two historic barns are home to a family of barn owls. Deer and turkey roam the property.

The Neighborhood:
Van Keppel Ranch is located just outside the city limits of Santa Rosa which makes it both convenient and serene. You are 2 minutes from Bennett Valley Golf Course, 5 minutes from Whole Foods, 15 minutes from Graton Casino, 20 minutes from the town of Sonoma, 30 minutes from Calistoga, and only 1 hour drive from San Francisco. But you will feel miles away from everything.

Getting Around:
While there is no public transportation serving the property, guests will enjoy easy access to Hwy 101 to San Francisco and Bennett Valley Road connecting you to the rest of Sonoma.

Other Things to Note:
Extensive outdoor lighting makes the property come alive at night highlighting the barns and oak trees surrounding the house as well as the pathway leading to a dock overlooking the pond.
There is a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom as well as a separate studio with ensuite bathroom in addition to the 2 bedrooms sharing one bath.
The house is also equipped with central heating and air conditioning. However, please note that we limit the temperature settings using a Nest thermostat between 69-75 degrees.

Interaction with Guests:
Our team is available around the clock via phone/call/or text should you need any assistance. We do have local team members who can help on site if need be, and will do our best to accommodate.

we had a fantastic stay here last weekend! We hosted friends and family pre wedding festivities and everyone was incredibly complimentary of the location, the decor and the functionality of the house. The location served as an amazing backdrop for our first look and family portraits. The hosts were also incredible in their communication - I would absolutely stay here again and recommend to friends.

We stayed here with a group of 12 for a bachelorette. The property is very clean and all the appliances work as listed. The only issue is that the bathrooms are set up in such a way that of someone is showering, they have to close off the whole bathrooms from anyone else since there is no privacy wall between the shower and the sinks. That makes it just a little tough with so many people staying there. But overall we loved the place, the views are breathtaking, everything is clean, easy to use, and works well! It’s a pretty adorable taste and well situated to go to wineries like Sterling, Castillo, Rombauer etc. in Calistoga and St Helena area. Over all loved it and would highly recommend for large groups!

Pulling up to this property was such a lovely experience. The horses and turkeys were meandering around the grounds. The house is beautiful. Has great lighting and views. Loved the porch with the gas fireplace. Perfect spot for morning coffee and afternoon drinks. We had 9 in our party and we all had a comfortable place to sleep with plenty of bedding. The kitchenware was plentiful. The hot tub is a nice touch. Overall, I was very impressed with the property. Communication with the property manager was easy and the response was quick. Would definitely rent again.

We enjoyed the serene setting and lovely views. The fireplace, firepit and hot tub made our trip cozy. One suggestion for the living room is to mount the tv in a more central place if possible, instead of to one side of the room. Marvie was a fabulous host and responded promptly to all inquiries.

As anyone who has organized an event knows, the hardest thing when planning is communication between all party members. So, it was such a relief to work with this property when organizing my sister's bachelorette party. The property responded to all my messages within 10 minutes before and during our stay. Any issues that arose, were quickly addressed. They communicated when a service repair person was coming to the house, and had the property manager on site. There were plenty of towels, linens, and beds for the 12 adults staying at the house. The house was clean and all the directions were clear for check in/out. The view from all the windows set a very tranquil mood and the side deck was a perfect spot for our on site "paint and sip" provided by Painted Cellars Sonoma County. The bride to be was incredibly pleased and all of the guests hope to make this trip (at this house) an annual event.

Wonderful Stay at this beautiful property . We were visiting the are for a few days . This place was perfect for relaxation and also very conveniently located to come of the wineries . The property is very private but it also provides easy access to supermarket and restaurants within 1 mile which is very convenient.

It was the perfect property for our moms weekend away. The location was close to many amenities and restaurants yet felt very private. The furnishings and finishes were lovely as was the communication with our host, Marvie. Questions were quickly answered and overall they were pleasant communication exchanges. The communal spaces were well thought out, and the only thing (this is not a criticism against the property, more of a planning observation for large groups) was that the dining table was a bit of a squeeze for our group of 11 adults, we wouldn't have been able to fit the original size of our group at 14. This would have been a non issue if the weather had not impeded our use of the outdoor spaces. So many great memories were made here, thank you for letting us enjoy your property!

Surprised my wife and 12 other friends/family for her 30th birthday. The property had everything had to offer- beautiful views, common spaces, amenities (hot tub and fire pit), and enough space for all of us to get some rest in the evenings. Also, the location of the property was very convenient to Santa Rosa. We were able to get to Costco under 15 minutes. Would definitely recommend this property and its management team for any future group get together.

This property was perfect for our group to enjoy some quality time together. Spacious with lots of options for congregating and making meals together. The surrounding landscape was beautiful and convenient to groceries and necessities. --Even pizza delivery :) Highly recommend it!

We had an amazing time on this property. It was JUST isolated enough but also close enough to some amazing wineries and to grocery shops and everything else you would need. The barns and horses added such an amazing touch to the property and really felt like we flew across the pond rather than just driving over the bridge from San Francisco. The host was incredibly responsive and was available for some of our last minute needs (ie. dishwasher stopped working, refilling the hot tub, etc...) We had one dog with us and she loved the space and seeing the horses. (this is not a ding to the property at all, but please note that this is a pretty lush environment and therefore there are critters including ticks - just be wary and cautious!) Although the instructions were super clear, we didn't find the studio attached to the garage of the house until the morning after our first evening. It is a great private area and large bed, so wanted to highlight it's existence for future renters!

It accommodated our group very well. We wish we could have extended our stay to enjoy the beautiful property a little more. We had a hard time finding the 4th bedroom and 3rd bathroom at first but the prompt response from management put our mind at ease.

Our family grouping of 13, including 6 children ranging in age from 3 to 10, enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. The house was clean and well appointed and when it was brought to the attention of the property manager that some kitchen items were lacking, the situation was remedied in a very timely and responsive manner. The setting and surroundings were truly unique and the location of this property allows for wonderful excursions. Each and every member of my family voted this home as a definite repeat for next year's Thanksgiving gathering!!

The house was gorgeous and perfect for our group of 10! There was a pretty severe ant problem in a few of the rooms, but nothing that some ant spray couldn’t keep at bay for the short time we were there. Aside from that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
