Photos and Description of the Glen Ellen vacation house rental
House, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-4)

Designed and hand built by professional sculptor, Bryan Tedrick, the Moon House is a sculptural jewel situated in the heart of historic Glen Ellen. Uniquely curvilinear in form, this intimate space is an ideal location for adventuring in the Valley of the Moon.

Restaurants, a gourmet grocery, and the Jack London Saloon are within one block of the Moon House. Take walks in the neighborhood’s regional and state parks and peruse Jack London’s Beauty Ranch. Wineries abound and the Sonoma Mission at the Sonoma Plaza is just 15 minutes away.

About Terry Roberts

Bryan Tedrick and I, Terry Roberts, have been together for 30 years and have two grown children, Nathalie, 26, and Jakob, 22. I am a teacher at Altimira Middle School in Sonoma. Bryan is a sculptor; currently he is beginning work on his latest Burning Man commission. To see more of Bryan's work, you can visit his website:

http://www.bryantedrick.com/

Bryan also designed and built the Moon House.

Terry Roberts purchased this house in 1990
Why Terry Roberts chose Glen Ellen

Although Bryan and I both grew up in the Bay Area, we always loved visiting the wine country - both the Napa and the Sonoma Valleys. After our daughter, Nathalie, was born, we decided that it was time to move away from the city and settle in a more rural area. We picked Glen Ellen for our home because we love the small town feel, yet it has all the conveniences of a larger city...our fabulous grocery store is just down the street, along with some terrific restaurants within walking distance. (Not to mention, my bank, my post office, and my hairdresser).

What makes this house unique

We chose the specific location of our home and the Moon House because we are in the heart of the Sonoma Valley. Our home, and the Moon House, are on our quiet little street...but not far from the center of town.

Lovely vacation rental, unique and very high end

This was a lovely vacation rental a stone's throw off the main block in Glen Ellen. This Moon House is so clean, it truly feels new. The finishings are of exceptional quality, right down to the linens. Plugged our iPod into the surround sound and had good music as we sat out on the upstairs deck and sipped wine at sunset. We walked to the Fig Cafe which is about 2 minutes walking. The great little grocery store is also right there, 2-3 min walk. The Regional park is pretty much in the backyard. Will be our place to stay in Glen Ellen for sure!
Thanks again.

Charming House, Super-Thoughtful Owners

We loved staying at the Moon House, one of the rare places where the internet photos are not as good as the reality! The owners have provided tons of amenities, and everything from coffee to kitchen equipment to bath towels is top quality. Very cool sculptures by Bryan decorate the premises. Walking distance to some nice restaurants and a great walking trail, close to wineries. Thank you Terry and Bryan.

The cottage itself is well equipped, clean and beautiful. It is perfect for a small family.

The location is great. Very close to a regional park (100 mts or so to the entrance) with many hiking trails, and also a mile to the Jack London park - also a great place to explore. We had a great time hiking in these two parks. Highly recommend it.

We did not have time to explore the many wineries in the region....perhaps another time.

Loved the Moon House!

5 of 5
Submitted: March 27, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
We really enjoyed our family getaway at the Moon House!

Terry was most gracious from the very start, making sure we understood the house was not really for younger children (e.g. toddlers), though it was perfect for us and our 6 year old...who got the biggest kick out of the spiral staircase and what he referred to as 'his office' on the mezzanine...where he would diligently work on puzzles.

The house is very well appointed and quite wonderful. You can find evidence of Bryan's work around the area, which makes it all the more special. There are some very nice details throughout, though my personal favorite was the very special 'stone' in the outdoor area.

Loved the oculus and the lighting for the domed area, the photos can't represent the efffects ~ very flexible and nice lighting.

We were there in very early spring and needed no air/heat in the day: just the smallest bit of heat for the night. The beds were great and the down comforters and pillows even better.

Loved it!
