Photos and Description of the Kenwood vacation house rental
House - 3 Bedrooms + Den - 2 Full, 2 Half Baths - (7 Adults or up to 10 w/kids)

Brambleberry is a luxurious 3 1/2 acre estate located in the heart of Sonoma’s Valley of the Moon, in sight of neighboring vineyards, near renowned wineries and centrally located for Sonoma Valley, Napa Valley, Russian River, Dry Creek and Alexander Valley wine country touring. Wild blackberry brambles border the property. Guests delight in blackberry picking in summer and early fall. The bucolic, park-like setting includes a seasonal creek lined with majestic oaks and a seasonal pond our children fondly call Duck Puddle. This private, quiet Sonoma vacation home is at the end of a long tree-lined and gated driveway on level grounds inviting to all ages. As one approaches the 3+ bedroom, farmhouse-style home, the years seem to drop away. The wraparound covered veranda evokes memories of rural sojourns and is ideal during hot summer days. Take in pristine views of Sugarloaf, the landmark Sonoma Valley peak, while luxuriating in the heated pool and custom spa. www.WineCountryHouse.com

Heated Pool with Child Safety Cover, Custom Spa & Outdoor Hot/Cold Shower and Changing Room: The beautiful estate-sized pool has just been completely remodeled, with new state-of-the-art equipment including automatic salt chlorination for comfort and automatic recessed child safety cover with lock and key that also keeps it clean and warm. The solar heating system can be supplemented by gas heat (at cost) in cooler months if desired. Adjacent to the pool, a new state-of-the-art custom stone spa seats eight or more comfortably. A hot and cold water private outdoor shower and changing room is adjacent to the pool. Comfortable outdoor seating on the patio and pool deck, extensive lawns and mature shade trees provide the perfect setting for outdoor dining and relaxation.

Fully Equipped for Entertaining and Children: Brambleberry boasts a remodeled kitchen featured in Better Homes & Gardens magazine with a dining nook that seats ten overlooking the pool and grounds, top-of-the-line appliances including a massive six-burner Wolfe range with oven and addditional convection oven, granite counter tops, a marble baker's counter, a center island that encourages relaxing gourmet meal preparation and high-end cookware and dishware. Fully equipped for young children including two Pack 'n Plays, high chair, stroller, baby monitors, toys for pool and house, books and dvds/videos. A full collection of ride-on toys and wagons can be made available as well. Other amenities include automatic gate, new two-zone high-efficiency central air and gas heat, new double-paned windows, automated security system, computer with high speed internet access and WiFi, three large TV's on cable with DVD/VCR (including one HDTV), Hi-Fi stereo with cd linked to surround sound, gas grill, croquet, horseshoes, ping pong and basketball.

Custom Bocce Court: 12 by 65 foot with premium Har-Tru surface will provide hours of fun for all ages.

A Luxury Retreat Yet Child-Friendly: PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT AN EVENT SITE! While fully equipped for entertaining, this is our family country home. We cannot accommodate large parties owing to zoning and our septic system. We do not wish to disturb our neighbors in this peaceful, private area. A limited number of day guests may be considered by prior arrangement.

The house is sophisticated and well-appointed to appeal to adults yet with all it offers it is also a children's paradise.

Brambleberry is a luxury Wine Country House - a Sonoma Valley retreat that is sure to be part of many happy memories.

Brambleberry Getaway in Kenwood

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Sep 4, 2008
  • Stayed: Aug 2008
We spent a wonderful, long weekend at Brambleberry. There was a total of 4 adults and (2) sets of kids ages 5 and 8 in our party. The house and grounds were so amazing that we really didn't need to leave the property, but local amenities were all nearby including Annadale Start Park for a morning hike (we walked there with the kids), Safeway for late night emergencies, wine tasting and kid friendly dining (although Sonoma county is known to have many fine dining options).

The house was very comfortable (especially the beds), and well stocked from the kitchen items to the pool toys. We tried to get the kids to sleep together, and there was plenty of room for musical beds at night. We all enjoyed the pool in the mornings and afternoons, as well as the rest of the property for biking, soccer, baseball, and basketball to lying in the hammock and swinging on the swings. There was plenty for the kids to do, which makes for a very enjoyable time for the adults. The moms were able to duck out for a Sonoma Mission Inn spa excursion (5 hours, not that anyone was keeping track...but the dads).

The communication with the owners before, during and after our stay was great. They were very accommodating to our needs, and provided excellent local recommendations. We would definitely recommend this home to others, and we hope to come back again soon. Brambleberry is a true home away from home.

We found a home!

After 4 trips to wine country, we decided to rent a house instead of staying in a hotel. We actually rented a home when we found Brambleberry. The decor was so relaxing - the kitchen was bright, well equipped, and complete with lovely dinnerware; the bedrooms were bright and inviting with comfortable beds, with co-ordinating bedding and some amazing antiques; the living room was spacious with a large big screen tv and a leather chair and ottoman that was an ideal reading space for a good book after a day of tastings. We also got to see spring awakening outside. Each day there seemed to be new flowers blooming. Sitting by the pool with a glass of wine was a good way to end the day. I knew immediately how much Kathleen loved their home the first time I spoke with her. She was so helpful and answered all of my questions promptly.We never would have visited some of the area wineries and restaurants without her recommendations and we were never disappointed. One of the hi-lites fo the trip was MacCleod winery next door. We got a tour from the owner who took us into his vineyand and explained the growing process and entertained us with tastings on his patio. Don't miss Brambleberry.

My husband and I went to Brambleberry with our two young boys (5&7) this February and had the most wonderful time. In fact, we extended our stay the day before we were suppose to return home because 5 days was just not enough time. The home was so lovely and welcoming. My boys spent the majority of the the time in the pool (which we had heated) and playing in the extensive lawns and bocce court. Hiking, wine tasting, and just relaxing filled our week. We have never seen so many movie DVD to choose from! I loved the master bedroom so much that I am currently painting our home bedroom to a similar color. We can't wait to go back! Thanks so much to Kathleen and Rob. They were very responsive to any questions we had during our stay. What a peace of heaven.

BRAMBLEBERRY.....A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH!!!

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jul 29, 2012
  • Stayed: Jun 2012
My family had the INCREDIBLE blessing of having a week at this ABSOLUTELY AMAZING HOME!Definitely NOT a house, it's A HOME! AND its' on glorious private rambling property!
I am ALREADY at the calendar, trying to figure out how we can go back this Fall!
Although, a week at Brambleberry in the Summer could not have been more PERFECT!
I travel for business, literally around the globe. So as seasoned traveler, I can honestly say that I speak from experience LOOK NO FURTHER - I believe MOST are looking for THIS!
I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else!
You almost get the sense that this home has it's own Heart and Soul! From the Porch Swing on the GREAT Wrap-Around Porch & it goes ALL the way around the Home To the Breathtaking Views To the Priceless Privacy I say in my humble opinion, IT TRULY DOES NOT GET BETTER THAN THIS!
I would highly recommend that you stop right now and if you are lucky enough as we were, AND if this home is available for desired dates, JUST BOOK IT!
When vacationing, we always seek homes for our accomodations. Years ago stopped hotels & we will never go back. We have had some great and not so great experiences - -
BUT, THIS was one of the GREAT ONES! Staying at this INCREDIBLE Home ALL together allowed us as a FAMILY to TRULY Bond & Be Together, Yet have our Own Space! When it was time to leave, We ALL loved it SO MUCH that NONE OF US WANTED TO LEAVE TO GO TO SAN FRAN! So we stayed 2 more days! Our kids are grown so our time is less w/each all having busy lives!
This Vintage Feel yet, with Modern influences is THE perfect Mix & Style! LOVED the Kitchen AMAZING, HIGH-END, PERFECT! My husband and I are fortunate to get the whole family together & it was PERFECT Place to just RE-CONNECT w/the kids. I am VERY picky when it comes to finding the right home when we vacation! My search goes on forever! The home just has to be "just right" in EVERY WAY for us to stay! THIS HOME WILL NOT DISAPPOINT! The owners, Rob and Kathleen, couldn't be Nicer or More Accommodating if they tried!
If you are looking for a TRULY SPECIAL PLACE that has COMFORT & CHARACTER & that gives open space to roam as this home is on acreage - PLUS it absolutely IS THE perfect location for Anything & Everything you would come to this area to do! You will feel At Home here, yet feel a sense of sleek style! It has everything you need or would HOPE FOR & QUALITY everything, right down to the sheets and bedding! Bringing Kids? They will THANK YOU!

Brambleberry proved to be the absolute perfect choice for a family vacation for a couple of East Coast foodies and their adult children who also appreciate fine wine and fantastic food. Strategically located on a quiet road, this tastefully decorated and gracious home served as command central for visits to the many amazing wineries and restaurants in Sonoma and Napa Counties. Well maintained and spacious, this home had everything you would want in a wine country retreat. The salt water pool and generous porches provided the ideal respite after a tough day of sampling pinot noir! Not to mention the beautiful mountain views and flora. Would go back to Brambleberry in a heartbeat.Highly recommend this beautiful property.
