About this cottage rental
Set among the legendary hills of Glen Ellen that adventurer Jack London made famous in his novels, our Tuscan home shares the same pristine views that drew London to settle here. Just minutes outside of the charming village, this sumptuous 11-acre estate enjoys complete privacy and is designed to fully embrace the wine country lifestyle.
Take the two-lane road from the village of Glen Ellen then up the private drive to Villa Bacchus and find yourself in a sunny, secluded retreat designed with every element you need to relax, play and celebrate with friends and family. Architect and nationally known artist, Dennis Ziemienski, created a stunning contemporary expression of wine country living that is in harmony with the land and its history.
The driveway circles around a tall fountain, and the main house, the guest house and the garage all border on the drive. The buildings design was inspired by Andrea Palladio, a Renaissance master, and one of the most influential architects in the Western world. His concepts have been translated into a sophisticated estate that surrounds you with luxurious details that satisfy all your desires for relaxation and recreation in an elegant, yet comfortable manner.
The main house shares the architectural design of the cottage and special design details abound. The ground floor has a full kitchen with birdseye maple cabinets, a Wolf range and oven, stainless appliances, a dishwasher and concrete counters with an adjoining dining area.
A faux painted arch opens to the large living room and its soft burnt umber walls, travertine floors and Venetian Murano lights that hang from a vaulted ceiling. Spend some quiet time in front of the fireplace as you enjoy the comfortable seating arrangement. Double doors lead out to a café table and chairs that face the central fountain.
The bathroom is on the main floor and features a tiled, glass-front shower, and a freestanding vanity with an ultra-modern sink on a “floating” concrete counter.
Tile floors in the entryway and the stairs are coated with a copper patina for a subtle metallic sheen. A bedroom suite occupies the entire second story with its views of the hillsides and glass doors that open to a “Juliet” balcony, which overlooks the central fountain. A king bed, desk and seating area make this a tranquil place to unwind.
The estate's owners reside on the property and are available to assist you in planning your visit, but are far enough away to provide you with complete privacy.
The cottage complies will all county vacation rental ordinances (Vacation Rental License No: LIC24-0080).

Truly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful place. We slept so well, with windows open and cool temperatures at night. Waking up to total peace with only turkeys, squirrels, and bird sounds. Loved watching the deer on the property and having such privacy. Joshua was the perfect host and we had everything we could have ever needed. I highly recommend this beautiful place and hope to return myself in the very near future.

A very romantic and peaceful setting.
After one night it felt like our own home away from home.
Hosts fine gentlemen.
The local Deers paid a visit every morning outside our window. Stars at night.
Glen Ellen a mile down the road. Thumbs up to Glen Ellen Star restaurant.
easy access to the Oakville Grade and wine country.
Look forward to a return visit.

This rental was perfection. Joshua and Tim clearly take so much pride in their property, it was exactly the backdrop we needed for a wine country getaway. The rental itself is even better in person than the pictures portray. In addition, Joshua was so helpful offering up advice on wineries and restaurants whenever my wife or I solicited his help. Such an excellent host! If you're going on vacation in the Sonoma area and looking at this place, just stop searching and book it. You will not regret it at all.

The property grounds were absolutely gorgeous. With deer guests everyday eating the olive trees.
We had everything we needed. The house was very clean and nice. Glen Ellen is such a cute town with wineries and restaurants right down the road. We will be returning. Cheers!

Another wonderful stay in less than a year at this beautiful property. Quiet and secluded yet close to all things Sonoma has to offer. The cottage is a perfect getaway for couples and the hosts are genuine and truly committed to the quality of your stay. We love everything about this gem and will be returning for many years. Thanks again Joshua & Tim for being so gracious!!!

Best Ever
We have traveled to a lot of places in U.S. and abroad. This is flat out one of the nicest places we have ever been. It is like an old Italian villa with modern electronics. There is a long winding road to access the house which makes it a bit difficult to find the first time, but becomes quite easy with repetition. It makes a perfect getaway. The only unusual aspect was the bathroom was on the first floor, but overall we loved it. Wine and cheese greeted us when we arrived and coffee beans were there for the grinder. What could be better?

Exotique et Paradisiaque!
Cet endroit est simplement fabuleux. Une propriété magnifique située au bout d’une petite route tortueuse en pleine campagne. Tranquillité assurée. La qualité de la construction et le mobilier sont exceptionnelle. Nous avons été très bien accueillis. Joshua a répondu rapidement lorsqu’une question lui était posée. Pour cuisiner, il y a tout ce qu’il faut, l’équipement de cuisine est complet, moderne et les couteaux bien aiguisés! C’est parfait, il n’y a pas d’autres mots.

Sonoma Retreat
My wife and I had the privilege of staying at this wonderful property in Glen Ellen. The cottage is beautiful and perfect for a couple with all the comforts of home. The location is secluded and quiet yet just a short drive to restaurants and local area wineries. The best part were the super hospitable and attentive property owners. Easy to communicate with and genuinely concerned about the quality of our stay. We can't say enough about this great find and will be returning in the future...6 star rating!!!

Delightful charming getaway!
Starting with the first message from our host Joshua, I could sense this was going to be a special stay. Joshua was so helpful supplying information about the property, the area and had great ideas for activities. The property is just as shown in the photos; beautiful, spacious, and comfortable with a super relaxed vibe. It feels quiet, remote and isolated and at the same time is in a perfect location to easily access all that the Sonoma and Napa Valleys have to offer. Joshua is the perfect host and we can't wait to return!

Elegant, rural retreat from the wine tasting pressure! Joshua & Tim are the perfect gentlemen hosts.
Glen Ellen is a wonderful spot, not as crazy as Napa and with all necessary amenities. This Tuscan villa is so beautiful and the property is charming and remote. Don't let Wolf Run scare you, it's a drive you will look forward to as returning to the cottage is the best part of the day.
loved every second there. thanks

Relaxing
We enjoyed our stay for 5 days for Bottle Rock. This trip was canceled several times because of Covid, Joshua and Tim were very accommodating with our ever changing dates. The property was clean and extremely quiet. It allowed us to unwind, relax and sleep.
We will be returning next year for BottleRock.

Quiet, secluded cottage for a perfect getaway
We *loved* our stay at this property! It was so quiet and peaceful, with wildlife sightings and the privacy we craved for our anniversary getaway, yet within easy driving distance to everything—wineries, restaurants, shops, etc.
The cottage itself was gorgeous, with everything we needed for our stay. It was clean, spacious, and the communication with the owners were fantastic. Joshua and Tim were so gracious and welcoming. We can't wait to visit again!

Beautiful property!
We had a lovely stay at this Utopian villa. You couldn't have a nicer host than Joshua or a more well-appointed place to call your temporary home. Plenty to do nearby and a nice drive over to Napa for a few tastings.

Great place, great location
Josh and Tim were great! Beautiful house. Loved the location. It was quiet and away from crowds, but with most of Napa and Sonoma accessible within a 15 min to half hour drive, and the cute town of Glen Ellen with great restaurants just 5 mins away. We’ll be back!

The Best of Glen Ellen
Everything the host posted was 100% accurate and if anything the property exceeds the advertising. We especially enjoyed the quiet and seclusion. Nothing but natural beauty visible as far as the eye can see, tucked away in a small canyon.

Pure class
Fantastic stay. Owners were gracious, friendly and very attentive to our needs and wishes. Cottage was immaculate, well stocked, and gorgeous. Setting is amazing, wildlife, beautiful trees, quiet and still close enough to town for a great breakfast pastry. The owners are amazing, even down to fantastic recommendations of local wineries. We were very pleased with the experience.

Spacious. Quaint. Comfortable.
Josh and Tim’s guest house is amazing. Very spacious and well appointed with all the things that you need on vacation. It is quiet and close to all of the cool wineries and restaurants in Sonoma and Napa but far enough away to feel like you’ve gotten out of town. That is super comfortable. Internet works great. The town of Glen Ellen is super cute with great restaurants. Josh and Tim are super hosts. Lots of info and lovely people. Will definitely return and highly recommend.

Joshua was great! We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this rental to other travelers. We appreciate the attention to detail by Joshua and are happy to give this rental an excellent review. We especially appreciated his hospitable spirit and overall responsiveness to our questions and requests. Should we travel back to this area in the future we will definitely stay here again.

Glen Ellen
Property exceeded our expectations. Beautiful well maintained setting . Large living room with wood burning fireplace. Large comfortable bedroom . Joshua and Tim are perfect hosts . Checked in with us often to make certain everything was OK . Did a small amount of laundry for us so that we weren’t inconvenienced going to laundry mat. One evening when they went out offered the use of their gorgeous patio . The Weber charcoal grill was a big plus and finally we stayed one extra night because we loved the experience so much .

Amazing property!
My partner and I had a wonderful time at this villa. We stayed for a week and it was honestly the best VRBO experience we have had. Joshua and Tim were so kind and hospitable. They provided us with fantastic suggestions for things to do in the area that were spot on. The property itself is amazing. We felt close enough to everything we wanted and far enough away to feel like we had complete privacy. We saw deer and wild turkeys each day just roaming around the property. Such a nice change of scenery for us! The cottage had every amenity and then some! We loved the big fire place, comfortable bed with soft sheets and towels (seriously!). To top it off they have surround sound speakers build into the walls throughout the cottage. Joshua and Tim were so kind to leave goodies for us too. If we head back to Sonoma we will definitely be staying here again.

This is simply wonderful hideaway right in the heart of wine country - we spent a lovely, relaxing week here enjoying the wine and the wildlife. The owners, Joshua and Tim are super helpful and can recommend local restaurants and wineries. Just excellent all round.

Wonderful relaxing getaway
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful villa in a lovely, quiet setting. The hosts have equipped the place through and through -- terrific kitchen, thoughtful and beautiful furnishings, great sound system, etc.
Joshua and Tim provided terrific recommendations for things to do in the area, and we took advantage of their advice on restaurants, hikes, and nearby cultural sites.
We will be recommending our friends to stay here on their next visit to the Wine Country ... and I suspect we will be back, too!

Perfect, charming getaway
This spot magically transports you to another place.. I’ve never been to Tuscany but I feel like it would be like this spot!
My husband and I drove up from Larkspur for a long weekend and this had we needed to be cozy, relaxed, comfortable and inspired. Huge fireplace, amazing kitchen with a Wolf range, huge comfortable bed, etc...
The hosts were so communicative and warm, and even left us surprise treats in the fridge and on the front door one morning! Joshua always made sure he proactively communicated anything we needed to know. It was clear he cared about our experience and we really appreciated that!
The location is nestled as a hidden gem 1-mile off a street that is very close to hikes, restaurants, local fanfare so even though you’re in a sanctuary surrounded by lush nature, you’re very close to civilization!
I would highly recommend this property and would stay here again!

This cottage is unbelievable! So cozy, beautiful, fully equipped, quiet and great location!
We didn’t want to leave after 5 amazing nights at this beautiful property. Josh and Tim have hospitality nailed and the accommodations exceeded our expectations. We’ve already referred friends and plan to come back!
