About this house rental
Welcome to Owl’s Hoot, a premier wine country estate inspired by the French countryside. This stunning location includes a serene property atop a redwood forest peak in the tranquil rolling hills of Sonoma wine country. The space includes 23 acres of woodland views and hiking overlooking Alexander valley and Mount St. Helena. This luxurious, estate is as beautiful and inspiring inside as the view is from the multiple decks and seasonal, private pool. The property was a realized dream of a local artist, complete with plastered walls, custom glazed artistic tile and reclaimed wood flooring from a pier. The house is tastefully decorated with luxurious rustic furnishing and fixtures to bring you a truly unforgettable experience in this stunning retreat as you take in the wine country views.
The property entails 23 acres of Redwood Forest, with a 2 bedrooms (2 King beds and 1 Queen sleeper sofa) main house as well as accessory units. The loft master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, with rain showers and a private deck overlooking the gardens and sweeping views of the valley below. The second bedroom and additional sleeper sofa share the custom tiled hallway bathroom and access to a private outdoor copper bathtub where you can lay back and enjoy a private viewing of the star filled night sky. The outdoor decks provide the perfect place to enjoy a serene morning coffee while gazing over the tree tops.
There is a caretaker on the property but there is very good separation and privacy. This is detached and separate from the main house and guest cottage.
Kitchen: The fully equipped gourmet kitchen features custom designed cabinets with beautiful glazed tile countertops and an eat-in island at the center. A 5 burner gas cooktop and oven makes this a home chef's dream kitchen. Step out on the deck and private grilling patio where you can enjoy the sweeping Wisteria while you cook. 12-cup coffee pot, Nespresso Next machine with Aerofrother, a large Vitamix, Airfryer and a Omega Juicer.

Enjoy the scenic views and warm sun while relaxing outdoors by the stunning private pool. Pool area includes two loungers, a dining table and cushioned seating conversation space for 5. This is a one-of-a-kind experience to float in a pool while gazing across the tops of of the redwoods.

This is a gorgeous house tucked away atop a steep winding road. It was a wonderful escape and home base for our wine country adventures. The kitchen is so well appointed that we made dinner each night to pair with our delicious wine finds from the day.
We hope to return one day provided too many people don't find out how great it is.
The host is very responsive and communicated everything that was needed.

We loved the hot tub, the views, the beautifully appointed home, comfy beds and well stocked kitchen. So many vacation rentals these days have become run of the mill, this one is truly special and is an artist's masterpiece.

The Owl’s Hoot is a wonderful property, remote yet accessible to Graton, Sebastopol and Forestville. The house sits at the top of a hill, with unobstructed views. Pool area is lovely. Well stocked kitchen and the best guest guidebook I’ve ever encountered in a rental property. Access to the house requires going up steep stairs so not recommended for people with mobility constraints. Great property manager. Responsive and attentive to our needs. Highly recommend.

nature and a gorgeous pool with awesome views. Just the perfect retreat! We definitely recommend this place

Best vrbo we have stayed at! The landscape and views are amazing. The location is perfect, just far enough from a town but not to far if you wanted to go enjoy the town and grab something to eat. Kitchen is set up with everything you need. But the pool and the gardens make you not want to leave. Plus we loved how the house was decorated with all the stain glass and art!

This fabulous home has cozy furniture, eclectic artwork, super comfortable beds and a great kitchen with all the tools one needs. Our host, Jarrod, was communicative and friendly.
The home is located in a tranquil, beautiful forest with gorgeous views across the Anderson Valley. Our Sonoma County relatives who visited were all impressed by house and view. The sweet town of Graton is a short drive away with galleries, a small grocery store, a tasting room and two delicious restaurants. We highly recommend Owl's Hoot.

We loved our 3 night stay - wished we had more time. The gardens are beautiful and tasty. We incorporated lots of what we found in the veggie garden into our home cooked meals - prepared in a fully stocked kitchen. The home is spacious and bright, with many board games and activities to keep our tweens curious and active. They loved the pool, even if it was cold. We enjoyed the architectural splendor and details of custom stain glass and tiles throughout. Delightful for birdwatching or a nature hike - we saw a fox, quails, humming bird moths, and more. The views are breathtaking - so much space to immerse and surround yourself in nature. Wineries are nearby and it's so quiet and secluded at the end of the road. Beds are very comfortable. Checkin and checkout was a breeze and Jarrod is exceptionally considerate and kind. We will return as soon as we can.

Like staying in an astoundingly comfortable art gallery! Well-appointed, quiet, surrounded by beautiful nature. Booking and checking in/out was easy; host and long-term tenants were very chill. Highly recommend (but not at the same time we want to stay there again 😉).

The house was amazing and exactly like the pictures represented. It was so peaceful and perfect to disconnect.

We chose to get away during the rainy week the weather did not deter from the amenities of this fabulous wine country property and its centralized location to Many Russian River wineries. We especially loved the views throughout the property and were able to enjoy the break in the weather to go hiking through the woods of the property. We were surprised to see so many creeks and streams and had fun foraging mushrooms.
The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked. The Keurig coffee machine in the bedroom was a very nice touch. We will definitely be back in the summer for that amazing pool!

We truly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. Located on a mountaintop, with a 30 acre property, it is everything that it was advertised to be. Jarrod was great with his communication and available to help us with anything we needed. We highly recommend this property for a Russian River stay!

This was last minute discovery, what a weekend ( so great we extended it). The house is amazing, the pool and waterfall….THE VIEWS. It felt like I had arrived in Provence. Once we settled in, we discovered more charming details ( outside bathtub) the hosts were immediate with my questions. My son and his girlfriend joined us, we didn't leave the house/grounds first two days… cannot wait to return ….. lucky to have found this gem

We had an amazing stay. The main house was more than enough for our small family of three and, with the cottage, there is plenty room for more. Jarrod was a great host, and the house was very well appointed and thought out. We spent hours at the pool and enjoyed exploring the other parts of the property. Would stay again!
