Our stay in Glen Ellen was absolutely perfect. The house provided all we needed for a base of operations as we explored Sonoma and Napa valleys. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, and space for all family members to enjoy themselves. Our nine year old was particularly taken by the pool, which provided hours of fun during the summer heat, while adults lounged on one of the many outdoor chairs or soaked in the hot tub.
If you've never been to Glen Ellen, it proved a delightful hamlet to spend the week, with good restaurants, a well stocked grocery store, and plenty of wineries to visit. Honestly, we barely scratched the surface of what the region had to offer during our five days. Though, we did fall in love with Kunde Winery (just a short drive away) and would recommend them to anyone who believes a good tasting should be accompanied by charcuterie.
It also can't go unsaid how incredibly helpful the host was. She gave us a ton of good ideas about activities for adults and children... and you could tell she was honestly committed to the enjoyment of her guests. If you're looking for a place to stay with a couple of families or just one big family, this is a really great choice.
