About this house rental
Down a long private driveway off of Highway 12 just two miles south of the historic Sonoma Plaza, Carneros Vista Ranch sits on three acres amid the countryside, with lots of privacy and miles of views. Having just completed an extensive renovation, the spacious 5 bedroom farmhouse is ideally suited to hosting vacation getaways in wine country.
The property features multiple outdoor entertaining areas perfect for enjoying the California sunshine or relaxing in the shade. A large outdoor patio features an oversized solar-heated, salt water pool with automatic cover, a BBQ grille and outdoor dining table with seating for ten. A short walk from the house and amid the newly planted vines sits a rustic wine country patio complete with bocce court, adirondack chairs and fire pit. For more fun, take advantage of the property's full sized par 3 golf hole (professionally built by Southwest Greens with Nicklaus synthetic turf), complete with multiple tee boxes and a 4,000 sq ft green. Enjoy a spirited putting or chipping contest with your friends amid the vineyard before returning to the farmhouse for a restful night’s sleep.
The home features central air conditioning/heating with dual zone controls. In addition, there are wide plank white oak hardwood floors throughout. Downstairs features an open floorplan for the kitchen, dining and living rooms to make entertaining easy for large groups. The kitchen features professional grade appliances and a large center island complete with wine fridge. In addition, there is a separate game room downstairs with pool table and bar console with television.
The upstairs of the home features four bedrooms, including a large master bedroom with king-sized bed, a cozy window seat and a luxurious en suite bathroom. The second bedroom also features a king bed while the two other bedrooms each have queen beds. These bedrooms share a hallway bathroom while downstairs there is a third bathroom and a bedroom with a queen bed.
Please note that although our pool is serviced and open year-round, since our pool is solar heated, it is very pleasant to swim in (temperature in the 80s) from May through October. In late March/April and through most of November the pool temperatures are cooler but still generally fine for swimming (70s), while in late November through mid-March the cold air temperatures (low 40s typically) make the pool too cold for most to want to swim.

We loved the place. Wonderful with amenities for all age groups (12 to 80). The setting is idyllic with beautiful surrounding mountains, vineyards, olive trees,
Golf greens, beautiful swimming pool, excellent restaurants, etc etc.
We sure are planning to go back!!!!

Outside amenities are awesome! Pool, Bocci ball, and Golf hole. Plenty of room inside. Everything we needed was on site. Only suggestion would be to clean up the garage area. Since the washer and dryer are located there, not visually appealing. Also, lots of cobwebs in the house in hard to reach places. Otherwise, no complaints.

This property was perfect for our celebration. Lots of things to do from bocce ball to swimming to a pool table. It had a large kitchen with all of the amenities.

Our family of ten met up in Sonoma to reunite and explore wine country. The house was perfect for all of us. Our grown boys loved the golf set up and outdoor fire pit area. There was enough room for all of us and we never felt crowded. We would love to return and actually hang out at the house a little more. We would highly recommend this place for large groups and would love to return in the future.

House was perfect for our group. Great central location to Sonoma and Napa. Power went out during our stay (power co. issue) and the owner was very responsive. It wasn't out long and out of control of owner. Grounds were very nice and fire pit was used nightly. A bit higher priced than others, but you get what you pay for. Will return again if we get the chance!

Not only was this house beautiful, it was very clean too. We loved the game room, bocce and golf 3 par course.
The beds were comfortable. Contact between the owner was excellent.

We had a wonderful stay at Caneros Vista Ranch. The property has so many amenities that there’s no need to leave unless you need dining options. This was our second stay and our party enjoyed ourselves throughly.

Carneros Vista Ranch has everything you could ever want in a vacation home. The inside is modern and beautifully furnished with comfortable beds, towels and accessories. The outside is beyond words fun! Golf, pool, bocce ball, firepit, bball hoop….we never need or want to leave the house! Andrew is a wonderful host.

Carneros Vista Ranch was a great place to host a large group for vacation. The house was as described and in a fun location (close to Sonoma Plaza, across the street from a great vineyard, Sangiacomo). The house itself was in decent shape, albeit sightly more tired than the pictures appeared. Andrew was a great host and gave us some great recs in the area.

My family and I had an absolutely amazing vacation. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful home. It far exceeded our expectations and the photos honestly don’t do it justice. We took full advantage of all the activities: pool, bocce, pool table, ping pong, golf. There was absolutely nothing that the house was lacking and the host was very responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

Sonoma Piece of Heaven
Our stay at Carneros Vista Ranch couldn’t have been better. Andrew was a great host and was always prompt with answering any questions we had. There were so many fun outdoor activities that my family never wanted to leave the property! The putting green is huge and well maintained, surrounded by a next door farm with cows and peacocks to enjoy across the fence. The vineyard is gorgeous and a beautiful walk which connects to the bocce ball court, golf and fire pit. Roasting marshmallows at the fire pit was a great way to end the day. The large solar heated pool , pool table and ping pong table were always in use. The house is beautiful with top notch appliances. We can’t wait to return next year!

Fabulous Home
We had a wonderful stay at Carneros Vista Ranch. Picking a vacation spot from 3000 miles away isn't always easy, but we hit a home run with this house.The property is beautiful and our family enjoyed all of it. The home was spotless and had everything you could possibly need. The owners were very easy to work with and I would highly recommend this home.

Wedding/Family Get Together
Our family had a wonderful time. The communication with the owner and property manager was excellent. The house is ideally located in a beautiful setting, with very easy access to wineries and the Sonoma Square restaurants/stores. Our family spent a lot of time outdoors at the property fire pit, and thoroughly enjoyed the golf, bocce, and pool table. Our only regret was we could not enjoy the pool as the weather did not allow it. I would highly recommend this property and hope to return some day when visiting wine country again.

The outdoor grounds were just beautiful and the spacious downstairs suited our group well. It had all the amenities we needed.plus more. Highly recommend this property and would absolutely visit it again.

Great House close to Sonoma and NAPA
The house was a great place for a large group. Plenty to do on the property and close to a host of outdoor activities. We used it as a home base for our daughter’s wedding. Andrew was a great host and the property description was spot on, but until you see and experience everything the property has to offer you really can’t appreciate Carneros Vista Ranch. We had seven adults and an infant staying with day time visitors and never lacked for room or things to do. Even during the Bomb Cylclone we had a fantastic time and can’t express how much we enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommended!

A slice of Heaven
What a wonderful property. Lots of space to spread out and relax between the pool area, the wine patio and fire pit, and the golf home, it was perfect! We really enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely amazing setup.
The house it's self is good, but the setup outside is one of the best ever. Our entire group agreed it was the best rental we have ever gotten.

Relaxing and Convenient Wine Country Stay
We had planned a girl trip (sisters/nieces) to wine country. That generally means Napa to me but we found this house in Sonoma and it was gorgeous. We had the best time. The house was exactly as advertised, the grounds are actually bigger then pictured to my mind. We picked up breakfast stuff at the nearby grocery and cheese stuff at the wineries our first day and enjoyed breakfast at home, cheese and wine by the fire pit and the convenience of being able to get to Napa or up the valley on the 101 fairly quickly. We never hit crazy traffic until we tried to drive down Napa. The location in Sonoma is perfect, quiet and easy in/out.

Wonderful Stay
We really enjoyed staying here. Came here to celebrate our friend's anniversary and our birthdays. Love the open space concept downstairs!! Plenty of space for the 10 of us. One thing we regret is not able to enjoy the pool. We were out mostly and by the time we get back it was too cold. Next time for sure!!!!
Thank you Andrew for being a great host.. Always responded quickly to any questions or concerns I had.. Definitely would stay here next time we visit Sonoma/Napa.

A luxurious destination
This property has everything: scenic views, privacy, plenty of entertainment options (Golf, Ping Pong, Pool, Boccee), short drives to famous vineyards, close to mustard fields. The house itself is very modern, bedrooms are spacious, comfortable beds. We enjoyed our stay a lot, and planning to go back there again in future.

Nice home in a convenient location
Nice home and property that is conveniently located just a few miles from Sonoma Square. We really enjoyed our five nights at this home! Our kids loved the outdoor amenities; large lawn, golf green, bocce and fire pit. The kitchen is new, spacious and well stocked for cooking family dinners. We had a few small questions and the property manager/owner was super responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend to friends and family!

Great House
We stayed at the Carneros Vista Ranch in 12/2020. We traveled as a family, 5 adults. The house was clean, well equipped and we had plenty of room. The kitchen is perfect for at-home cooking. The layout of the house allowed us all to be together, but, also allowed people to "get away" when needed. The pool table, ping-pong table, bocce court, golfing and board games were GREAT. The owner was MORE than helpful as we had a package delivered prior to our arrival. I complexly recommend this house - we will absolutely be booking a second stay on our next trip to Sonoma.
5.0
I wanted a place that had plenty of open space indoors and out in order to feel safe during COVID-19. The floor plan was great. We were able to spread out with the windows and doors open and it was perfect. The large kitchen was definitely a plus. Most of our time was spent outdoors enjoying the Bocce Ball Court, fire pit patio and golfing. There was also a pool table and many games available. My grandson said he wanted to do all of our Thanksgiving holidays there. The only thing I would keep in mind next time is that the pool which says heated is not available to use during the cooler months. Disappointing as I feel the price should reflect a discount or at least should be pointed out.
