My husband and I traveled to Kenwood with my childhood best friend to attend the BottleRock Festival in Napa. The Kenwood House was perfect for us and our stay. Our only disappointment was that we weren't able to enjoy the house amenities because of the busy festival schedule. We will definitely stay there again!

The Kenwood House is so quaint, peaceful and beautiful! The location is perfect! Don and Amy are incredible hosts. We walked into the house to find gentle music playing, great bottle of wine and assortment of cheese in the fridge. Box of crackers on the counter and a personalized welcome letter. I have stayed in a lot of VRBO’s before but this way by far the best. They even had bottled water, eggs, milk in the fridge so we didn’t have to run right out to the grocery store. You can tell this is much more than a VRBO property to them. The location is perfect, you can walk to restaurants and a great winery. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there!

Thank you for opening your home! It was perfect in size, layout, and amenities. We loved the setting, the quiet, the architectural details in the living room, the garden vignettes. Definitely a place to return

Our stay in the Kenwood House was absolutely delightful. It’s an older home with incredible charm and character that’s been updated and the photos do not do it justice, especially the backyard, which was literally an expansive botanical oasis. It was a great homebase for our journey to all the vineyards in Napa and Sonoma counties and we had a delightful dinner one night at a nearby gastropub and brewery. Also the tasting room for Ty Caton vineyards near the gastropub was an unexpected surprise. I do have to share that our flight to SFO was delayed so we would be arriving at the house much later than expected. As we got closer to the town of Kenwood we couldn’t find a grocery store using the maps feature on our phones (not sure why as we later located a Safeway about 15 minutes from the house) but did find a 7-Eleven where we purchased a bottle of wine and some snacks. We needn’t have bothered because when we got to the house there was a bottle of Kenwood Vineyards wine and a wheel of Camembert cheese and some crackers waiting for us – such a treat! We would stay here again in a heart beat!

My family and I can't say enough about how much we loved the Kenwood House! Charming, lovely home with beautiful yards and quiet neighborhood. The pictures don't do it justice. It's truly wonderful! And the home is spotless and equipped with everything we needed.
It's also in a good central location between Glen Ellen / downtown Sonoma and the Santa Rosa area.
Not having stayed in many vacation homes before I was prepared to be disappointed. But instead, was so happily surprised. And another in our family, who has stayed in many vacation homes, said this was the best experience he's had. We will recommend this home to anyone going to Sonoma!

This by far with the best VRBO I have ever stayed in! The property was absolutely beautiful. The backyard was the perfect place for friends to sit and share a glass of wine. The hosts had so many small details that made our stay perfect from the music going in the house on arrival to fresh flowers on the table. I without a doubt plan on returning, and this property set the bar high for any other vacation rental!

Fantastic cottage for 2 families to enjoy for 3 nights. We were welcomed with the sweetest little gifts and bottled water which we truly enjoyed. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, beds were very comfortable and bathrooms were updated and clean. Loved the music as we entered the home, was so welcoming. We spent some time out front and enjoyed the rockers to relax. The grounds are filled with beautiful plants and trees that looked beautiful. Thank you for such a great stay.

Could not have asked for a better setting for our 18-year friendship with backpack friends from Texas and Colorado. We actually had dinner reservations for all three nights and after arriving canceled two of the nights so we could enjoy the relaxed, zen feeling of the home. Besides days were filled with hiking at Sugarloaf Ridge and Jack London, so happy not to rush and get ready to leave for dinner. The Kenwood cottage will not disappoint! Can’t wait for a return visit.

Kenwood House is surrounded by gardens and rocks and gates and walkways - a beautiful setting for a cozy, perfectly equipped house. We were very close to wineries, great restaurants and shopping but were also able to snuggle into the comfort of this home.

As others have said, the welcoming music sets the tone. Comfortable and clean living room, relaxing gas fireplace (Which we used a lot given the rainy weather!), and very comfortable beds and beddings. Well stocked kitchen, including some appreciated treats. Quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed walking to Palooza Brewery, for a pub meal, and two wineries Kenwood, and VJB - great tasting with food. Also quick drive to a delicious dinner at Salt & Stone and a gorgeous hike up to Bald Mountain in Sugarloaf Ridge State Park. Thank you Don and Amy for sharing your special home with us.

The photos of this property are what drew us in. We knew it had charm, but until we arrived we didn't know how much. I could have sat on the front porch all day long!
The bedrooms were spacious and the bedding was comfortable. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. We spent our days out doing wine things and came home each night to cook dinner and socialize in the back yard. It is an oasis. There were 8-10 huge turkey vultures roosting each night in the tree just beside the property. The surround sound music is a huge bonus. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here in the future!

The Kenwood House is exceptional! Relaxing, restful, and very accommodating hosts!

The first impressions upon arrival were: nestled into the trees, clean, spacious, beautiful/lush backyard. The house was just perfect for our wine country get away. Close to many wineries, close to world-class dining. access to grocery stores/markets. Amy and Don were so easy to work with. They were very helpful in making suggestions and even helping to coordinate certain aspects of our trip. We communicated a few times during our stay and they were always very responsive. The house itself is so charming, with a. very relaxing/cozy vibe. I would definitely stay here again.

The house was lovely
We were in the area for a wedding, and this quaint little house was very cute, very relaxing, and a quiet little house to come home to. Most of our time spent at the house was during the morning’s. I enjoyed my coffee sitting in the relaxing backyard garden.

Wonderful Wine Country Home
We have stayed at this Wine Country home many times in the past and will be scheduling many more in the future.
Home is convenient to visiting many nearby Sonoma wineries with fine dining at Salt and Stone, great pizzas at VJB Winery and Tips restaurant for top BBQ.
Owners are wonderful and always available for getting back quickly on any questions

Wonderful home in a perfect location!
We enjoyed every minute of our stay at the kenwood house. It was exactly as listed, an adorable cottage style home on beautiful, lush property. As we entered the home, the owners had music playing, and wine and cheese waiting for us in the fridge. The backyard was so relaxing with lovely landscape, a hot tub and fire pit. We loved our coffee on the back porch, walks through the neighborhood with views of vineyards/mountains and we were walking distance or just a short drive to many wonderful wineries! We will definitely be back!!!

Magical cottage
I have only good things to say about this property. I loved it. The cottage itself is adorable, but the backyard is really what makes it special. They paid attention to so many details. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. The location was quiet yet close to everything we wanted to go to. I hope I'm able to stay here again some day.

Perfect Wine Country Birthday!
Kenwood House was charming! The wine and cheese waiting for us and the music playing upon our arrival were welcoming touches. My 3 friends I hosted for my 60th birthday trip we’re very impressed with the gorgeous backyard, comfy beds, and homey touches. The location was perfect to enjoy Sonoma’s relaxed and friendly winery vibe. Great wineries and restaurants were walkable and wonderful!

Loved the cottage. It had everything we needed. Great neighbourhood. My daughter said as we opened the door the first day, “Mom, this could be your retirement home!” She is right. Loved all of it and so comfortable. Great communication with the owners. Thanks for making our stay special.

Great time in a lovely home
We spent a long and lovely weekend at Don and Amy's place in Kenwood. The house is as described, quiet, and well-laid out. Ran into a couple of super small issues during our stay which were addressed and rectified immediately by our hosts. No way to really know when a coffee machine is going to go on the fritz, but after notifying Don about the issue a new coffee machine was delivered and set up immediately. We look forward to returning in the future and highly recommend a stay for anyone looking for an easy getaway to a lovely little home in the Sonoma Valley.
