About this villa rental
This large 3+ bedroom, 2.5 bath Sonoma County vacation home is located amongst beautiful redwoods, on the bank of Matanzas Creek, on a 26 acre property, all situated in the heart of Bennett Valley, in Sonoma County. Oak trees, redwoods, and 100 year old bay trees as well as Matanzas Creek surround the house. The 3000+ sq.ft. single-story house is exceptionally comfortable and easy to use.
As beautiful as the inside is, the outside is incredible. The majestic redwoods and bay trees decorate the large 2000 sq.ft. patio adjacent to Matanzas Creek, all surrounded by year long green vegetation. In season various flowers adorn the whole environment.
The patios in the front and the deck adjacent to the kitchen are generously furnished, ready for outdoor entertainment and cooking, with two large grills, four heat lamps and two fire pits. Finally, yet importantly are the trails, alongside the creek under the breathtaking trees.
The children will enjoy the toys, bicycles, the basketball hoop, as well as the play structure and swings which make the whole place a heaven for kids. They can also run around the trails, in the vineyard , up and down the trees and just have a great time.
The Vineyard: The 10 acre vineyard consists of twelve blocks of different varietals and clones. Each season brings its own charm and beauty to the vineyard. The buds start coming out in spring and in September when the leaves start changing colors, it is amazing to look at the majestic grape bunches hanging from the vines.
No pets.

The Home is beautiful and the property is gorgeous. Great space for the whole family and room for gatherings inside and out. The owner went above and beyond to make sure we had all we needed and was always available for questions. We will always stay here when we come home to see family. We couln't be happier with our choice when picking this wonderful place.

Three generations and we all loved it. Beautiful vineyard and woodsy property for nature walks. Lots of equipment and toys for the kiddos. Close enough but far enough from Santa Rosa to both enjoy the area/restaurants/parks while enjoying countryside quiet. House well equipped and family-friendly. Would definitely reserve again.

We have stayed at this property several times and love the peacefulness and beautiful surroundings. This is a great place for families with kids. They can roam around freely and ours especially love biking around the property. We hope we can return again next year.

We came with 2 of our close friends and their families. The place was absolutely perfect for the adults and children. Feels totally remote but yet it is close proximity to anything you need. The house had everything we needed to relax while the kids played their hearts content for hours on end.
It is obvious this place is well loved and has played host for many cherished memories. We can not wait to come again!

This is our second time at this property and we continue to love the beautiful surroundings and privacy. Our kids love exploring the grounds, biking, playing ping pong and using the toy car. We all enjoyed the stay. It felt like a clean and comfortable home away from home. The host’s availability shows his consideration for his guests.

Enchanted Forest & Beautiful Vineyards
Welcome to the enchanted forest with acres of vineyards. Walking trails with the most breathtaking scenery. House was great for the little ones and adults. Owner even came by and dropped off water guns and water balloons for the kids. House had everything and was missing nothing. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect location.

Outstanding home and property.
We are grateful to Shawn and his family for sharing their beautiful home with our family. The house is spacious, clean, well equipped with anything you could need, and very comfortable with many personal touches. The property is a gorgeous fantasy land for children with a creek, bridges, trails, a great swing set, redwood trees and vineyards. The owner was a delight and we definitely look forward to another visit. Thank you!

Family trip
We toured several wineries in the Napa area with our adult children and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this amazing house set in the middle of the owners’ vineyard. Despite pouring rain one day that curtailed our plans, we had a wonderful trip and this property and the owners were a big part. We highly recommend it to any Napa area travelers.

Wonderful venue for family wedding-related gathering
We were two couples and three singles, staying in this wonderful spot over four nights, connecting to our son's wedding celebration in Sonoma Valley. The accommodations were quite comfortable in every way. Although for the most part we used the kitchen and outdoor cooking facilities sparsely (mostly for breakfasts, and for snacks), our host did permit us to host an evening dinner in the well-appointed back-deck area, with ample seating and cooking facilities, set amid the redwood trees. The weather was perfect, so when added to the quality of the home the dinner and overall evening were also perfect. I am grateful to the owner for permission to host this family event.
The home is set not only amid redwood trees, but also in the middle of the Moaveni Vineyard operation. We sampled several of the wines bottled by the owner, and found them to be excellent. As the Syrah grapes were nearing their harvest-time, the setting became even more picturesque and compelling.
Though the home does not have air conditioning, and though most of our days spent there were temperate overall... yet, the first day was quite warm; even so, the home remained pleasant throughout the day and evening, because of its setting in the surrounding redwoods. The balance of shade and sun is wonderful.
We no longer have young children, and don't yet have grandchildren, but it's clear the property could accommodate young children quite readily.

Wine Country Wedding
We were in town for our oldest son’s wedding. The property was absolutely beautiful! There were many friends and family there for the wedding and everyone thought we had the best rental of the group. The hosts were very helpful with any questions that came up.

A "Same Time Next Year" Experience if we could
We brought our group of 5 adults and 3 children plus 2 out of town relatives who slept elsewhere but joined us for dinners. It was the PERFECT place for our family who had not been together since the beginning of Covid to reconnect. Some of us had not seen each other in 2 years. The experience for adults and children alike was near-perfect. Our suburban grandchildren (ages 8 - 11) had the time of their lives without having to be entertained by electronics or adults, and they kept going from dawn until well after dusk. One of the biggest pluses for us adults was being able to relax and let them run, scream and yell with laughter (and they were LOUD), knowing that they weren't bothering a soul. They loved the sports equipment, the battery powered car, the swings, racing down the driveway, taking walks on the property, running down the hills in the vineyard, foosball, the extensive Legos, and especially playing with Milo, the most loving farm dog you could imagine (although he is playful and thought our grandson's bike helmet was a chew toy). We adults enjoyed the serenity and sheer beauty of the property - the vineyards, the redwood trees, the gorgeous hydrangeas, the trails, etc. Our adult kids spent a day wine tasting while the grandkids played with Grammie & Grandpa, and we all spent one day at Safari West, which we all enjoyed, but I think the kids would have been just as happy to have spent the day playing at Moaveni Vineyards. Owner Shawn and his wife Mimi were so kind and just amazing - responsive but not instrusive in the least - and loaned us equipment from their own house if it wasn't already at the vineyard house. We were there during part of a heat wave and Shawn even bought our kids Super Soakers and let us set up an inflatable pool, which the kids totally loved.
The house is spacious, with the master bedroom and bath (and the half bath close to the kitchen/dining room) in one wing of the house, and the other 2 bedrooms, full bath, and the kids' playroom/bedroom in the opposite wing of the house, which made for a lot of privacy, especially for us grandparents. The house had plenty of soaps, detergents, foil and wrap, and paper products, which we appreciated. There were also masks, rubbing alcohol, and Clorox wipes available.
We would stay at Moaveni vineyards every year if we could. I can't imagine anyone not enjoying every minute. Thank you, Shawn and Mimi!

After missing a family reunion in 2019 & 20 due to Covid & other factors, this was the perfect setting for a well deserved family get together. Sitting in the shade of the redwoods and letting the elem age boys hike the trails and play on the playscape was perfect. The house is very clean and well appointed for family gatherings, with plenty of dishes and cookware, games and books, and space for everyone to be together or to find solitude. The vineyards and the surrounding flowers, fruit trees and berry bushes were stunning. Watching the CA quail run and turkeys flying to their roost was the highlight of the day.Shawn was a wonderful host, present and helpful but never intrusive. His gardener and vineyard staff were also respectful of our privacy. The welcome basket included a lovely bottle of 2012 Syrah, dark chocolate, and other munchies. Very thoughtful.

Peaceful house, beautiful property, great for kids
The large property is beautiful and peaceful, with lots of nice landscaping in addition to all the well-kept grape vines. It was fun to rabbits, turkeys, and other small wildlife. The place was a big hit with our kids, who enjoyed the outdoor play structure, bikes and toys in the garage, and big indoor playroom with lots of game and toys. Host Shawn was friendly and responsive. Lots of nice details were attended to in the house making it an easy and comfortable stay.

Beautiful Secluded Setting
Lovely, scenic and secluded setting on a vineyard framed by redwood trees, coast live oaks, a colorful flower garden and more. The play options for our grandchildren ages 6, 4 and 1 were so nice. Everyone enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and sounds of delight coming from the children.

Amazing home and best host ever!
This property was by far one of the best homes we stayed. Shawn is an amazing host, he swings by every day to check on Milo(his dog) and peacocks and few other pets close by to this home. Shawn was super accommodative, and a very polite gentle man who maintains and treats his home with utmost care and keeps it super clean. The backyard/bbq grill, the fire-pit, the view, the vineyard, the roses, bunnies, deer, peacocks, Milo are all going to live down our memory lane forever. This home is located on a huge 26 acre vineyard which makes it perfect getaway and guarantees maximum privacy. Shawn has thought about kids who are to visit and loaded the home with toys/ bicycle/ electric cars/ basketball/ swings / slides / books and many more fun stuff. There are rarely few hosts we see who go to this length to make others stay this pleasant. We had a wonderful time here and looking forward to rebook this home in the future as our yearly getaway.

Beautiful, family-friendly...amazing gem of a place!
This was our first trip out of the city since COVID and we are so thankful we found this place!
We had the time of our lives. The plan was to go explore Sonoma a bit while we were there but the property is so amazing, so tranquil and so kid-friendly that we stayed there most of the time and loved every minute! Can’t wait to come back!

Great getaway with kids
We had a great stay at this beautiful property. The house is spacious and clean, with a well-stocked kitchen, huge play room, lots of games and books for the kids. Our city kids were delighted with the vineyards, rolling hills, towering redwoods, lemon and orange trees, playground swings and lots of territory to explore outdoors. The owner Shawn is a perfect host---professional, responsive and caring. We look forward to staying again.

Beautiful, Well Equipped and Perfect for Family Get Togethers
The property setting is idyllic for our family Thanksgiving. Set below the vineyard, the house is nestled beside a stand of redwoods and an adjacent stream. The large deck sits among the redwoods with direct access to the large family room with fireplace. A large playing field area gives plenty of room for kids and adults to toss a football or kick a soccer ball. The house is fully equipped, and the dining room easily accommodated 11 for dinner. There’s a large play room with a very diverse set of games and puzzles for all ages. The ping pong table in the garage is a good one. Access to Sonoma wineries was quick, and nearby Jack London’s park made for good family walks. The owner made us feel very welcome. We highly recommend.

Wine Country Gem
Our family of 10 enjoyed every moment of our 6 days on this beautiful property. It had everything we needed and more. We actually felt pampered! The house is beautiful, well maintained, and stocked with everything we needed.
We hiked the Vinyard and surrounding areas, enjoying spectacular views and interesting wildlife. Enjoyed our coffee and breakfast on the kitchen deck, dinners on the back patio (heaters and fire pits on each).
The location was private but convenient to every place we wanted to visit.
The owner, his family and farm workers were very friendly and willing to answer any questions we had about winemaking.
We would love to stay here again

Great!!!
7 adults, 3 children (2 - 6yr olds and 1- 4yr old). We have used Homeaway on several vacations and this property along with the owner rates very high on our list. There was everything we could ask for, from toys for the kids (motorized cars, basketball hoop and balls, playground, etc.) to the outside adult entertainment (fire pits, bluetooth speakers, etc). We would love to come back. Mr. Moaveni was hospitable, friendly and welcoming without being intrusive.
This is a winner.

Wonderful Family Vacation
This home is lovely, the property is stunning, and it is perfect for a family trip! My family and I stayed here in early August. We had a group of 9 ranging in ages from 1 to 71. There was something for everyone to enjoy. We had three kids with us, and they had a blast with all of the entertainment for them provided at the house: bikes, the playground, LEGOs, kites, ping pong, and just exploring the property. Having coffee in the mornings and wine in the evenings while taking in the breathtaking surroundings was relaxing and fun for our family. Shawn was an excellent host. He shared farm-fresh eggs and gave the kids a tour of the on-site aviary, which they loved. The home was very well maintained and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. We look forward to staying here again in the future. I can’t say enough positive things about this property!
