The Enso Sonoma

The stay

Slip into the hot tub as dusk settles over your private forest sanctuary. This contemporary 3-bedroom retreat sleeps 6 in serene seclusion, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing mature oaks from every room. You're just 0.9 miles from Glen Ellen Star's wood-fired cuisine and Jack London State Historic Park's redwood trails. The deck wraps around towering trees — morning coffee here feels like a meditation.

The space

Spend mornings on the deck as light fingers through the oaks, afternoons among Glen Ellen's tasting rooms and Jack London State Historic Park, and evenings under the stars with a glass from the day's tasting-room visits. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace wall (not available for guest use) anchors the living space, a sectional angled toward the smart TV. Sliding glass doors open fully to the wraparound deck, flooding the room with filtered forest light. Hardwood floors carry the airy feel into the kitchen — quartz counters, shaker cabinets, and a peninsula with bar seating that keeps the cook in the conversation. The six-person dining table sits beneath a linear pendant, and the primary bath finishes with a soaking tub and a glass-enclosed shower. OUTDOOR LIVING The wraparound deck is your outdoor room among the trees — dining set, lounge furniture, and bench seating across composite decking with black cable railings. Your private hot tub sits in a wood-sided enclosure, perfectly positioned for stargazing through the canopy. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS The primary suite occupies its own wing with a California king bed, office nook, and direct deck access. Its en-suite features a soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower with marble-look tile, double vanity, and bidet. Two queen bedrooms both open to the deck via sliding glass doors. Sleeps 6.

Guest access

Slide open the floor-to-ceiling doors to a deck framed by mature trees, drop into the private hot tub, then come back inside to the natural-stone fireplace wall (not available for guest use) in the great room. The whole home is yours, with a BBQ and outdoor dining set up on the deck in the Valley of the Moon. Punch in the keypad code on arrival; the driveway holds up to four cars.

Things to know

The property features security cameras monitoring the gate, driveway, and creek area for your safety. The home has air conditioning for warm days, and also stays naturally cool thanks to the forest canopy and cross-ventilation from multiple sliding doors. The decorative fireplace adds ambiance but isn't operational. Beyond the deck railing lies a creek with steep ledges — the area past the fence line is not for guest use. Swimming in the creek is not permitted for safety reasons. Your forest setting means wildlife sightings are common — deer often graze nearby at dusk. Cell service can be spotty in the hills, but the Wi-Fi is reliable for streaming and remote work. Quiet hours from 10 PM to 7 AM help preserve the tranquil atmosphere. During certain seasons, there are ants that may make their way into the house. The primary renter must be 25 or older.
