SONOMA & THE VALLEY OF THE MOON - Sonoma Vacation Rental estate like a country park resting on 2 1/4 acres in the exclusive and historic Spreckels Estate enclave of Sobre Vista. One of the finest Sonoma Vacation Rentals and Sonoma Luxury Rentals and Vacation Homes. Sonoma Vacation Rental in the Valley of the Moon including a grand 6,500 square foot mid-century contemporary home that was built along side the historic 1898 Spreckels Estate tennis court. There is a classic Thomas Church designed swimming pool, a raised grass volleyball court, basketball, horseshoes, croquet, picnic areas, hammocks and an outdoor Jacuzzi. We always hear, in view of the limited photographs, that the property is so much more than our guests expected. We love it, and hope that you will too.

Common Areas: The home features a 40 foot entrance gallery leading to the great room with its 17 foot ceilings and massive stone fireplace. On either side of the great room is the formal dining room and the den with stone fireplace. A large chef's kitchen compliments the morning breakfast room with stone fireplace and overlooks the pool, tennis court and valley views to the east. Through the adjacent billiard room you enter the family room with baby grand piano and 50' flat screen television. The artwork is historic and thought-provoking...cupids and kings, horses and cavaliers, Chinese figurines, allegories, myth and legend.

The Spa Feeling... the 7 Bedrooms & Bathrooms: While the home's interior common areas resemble a country manor or lodge the bedrooms and bathrooms are very modern and feel like a spa. Each of the 7 bedrooms are color coordinated in soft light and dark taupes and have resort quality organic linens, waffles-robes, towels and duvets from Coyuchi. All bedrooms come with custom walnut shelving, flat screen televisions with built-in DVD players, and Ipod compatible clock amplifiers. Each of the bathrooms are encased in seagreen limestone and installed with European Lacava counter-top sinks, custom teak shelving and hardware from the Purist Collection. And though our other bathrooms have porcelain soaking tubs, the master bathroom suite is a special and private spa experience with a 'Tea For Two' jetted tub, double headed stall shower, and separate his and her unpacking and dressing areas. Very romantic.

Figs, Family & Friends: The home is big, and at the same time inviting and cozy. The many wood burning stone fireplaces, easy chairs and sofas provide ample opportunity for social settings and peaceful areas to find some time alone. Sobre Vista has many personalities just as the outdoors call for laying out on the lawns, picking figs, plums, apples, blood-oranges, white grapefruit, lemons and peaches or reading around the pool, playing tennis or volleyball and later a family game of croquet or horseshoes. You won't be bored. You and your family and friends will truly enjoy the seamless pleasures of our Sobre Vista Estate. From relaxation and recreation to dining, reading, thinking and just being...your time here will be memorable...a peaceful and entertaining home away from home.

A Dream House!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 8, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
We went to Sobre Vista for my husband's birthday with four other families. We could not have had a better time. The house was gorgeous - spacious, with a lot of character (we loved "the great room"), comfortable and stocked with everything you could need from extra sheets to games to mattresses. Since we had a bunch of kids, the family room with the pool table, piano and tv came in very handy when we wanted to get some adult time on the other side of the house. The tennis court is gorgeous, and its location right near the pool meant that you could cool off as soon as you were done.
Sufia, the property manager, was very helpful and available at any time when we needed her. There is a Safeway and Whole Foods close by in case you need to stock up but other than that, no need to leave the property. The kitchen is a bit dated but has everything you need and 2 dishwashers and coffee machines. We stayed 2 nights and it still wasn't enough to enjoy every nook of the house. Highly recommend it. My only gripe is that it's not available for my birthday coming up! This is my go-to house for groups in Sonoma!

We have updated and changed our overnight and rate policies. In Sonoma County recently changed vacation home regulations have tightened up on larger functions and gatherings leading to limitations on guest uses while renting vacation properties. NEW RATES for the 2011 season are as follows:

FREE Fourth Night is at no charge throughout the year. $1950 for Friday/Saturday. $1350 weekdays.
Children three and under do not add to the overall guest limitations. 14 adults overnight...and six additional (non-overnight) guests to share in your activities while on the estate. See you soon. Scott

The home was better than described. We had a great time. Very clean. Our only regret was that we didn't realize until the last day that there all kinds of toys in the garage. We would have loved playing croquet on the huge lawn. We be back.

Wonderful Retreat

We were in Sonoma for our son's wedding in June. After much research, we decided on Sobre Vista for our large group - and it was a GREAT decision! Everything was perfect, and all the facilities were superior. All the amenities were used - swimming pool, tennis courts, horshoe court, outdoor dining areas. It made the whole weekend even more special. Scott, the owner, couldn't have been accommodating. Hopefully, we will be back!

My family (8 adults; 6 kids) stayed here over Christmas 2009 it was perfect! The house, grounds and furnishings are absolutely astounding! Truly one of the nicest places I've ever stayed. Scott (the owner) is very accomodating and professional -- much appreciated and we will be back in Summer 2010!

If only there were a way for me to help you view the surrounding 14 acres beyond the estate's front entry gates. A truly remarkable, in my view the finest, neighborhood in the Sonoma Valley. Just on the other side of our gates is a one acre former vineyard and fountain and just beyond the original Spreckles Estate main residence. Nearby is the original and very grand pool house and beautiful San Simeon style estate swimming pool. On your stroll you can also view the former formal gardens and elaborate centuries old fountains and grand staircases. At the turn of the last century over 60 full time gardeners assisted Alma Speckles create a heaven on earth. Much of it is still here. You should be too.

Our twelve day stay at Sobre Vista Estate was
phenomenal!!! Our daughters wedding became a
four day extravaganza because of the estate. The
rooms and linens made sleeping a delight with the
cool night air and the warm down comforters.
Because of the interior size, we never felt crowded
although we had all seven bed rooms filled. We
used all the outdoor facilities, tennis, volley ball
horse shoes, croquet, swimming pool and hot tub.
And at night the indoor pool table and ping pong
room. The gourmet kitchen provided our family
cooks plenty of opportunity to display their
expertise.We had deer in the front yard in the
morning which gave us a real feeling of nature.
Scott and Sufia, the manager, went above and
beyond to make sure that we were comfortable and
addressed any and all our out of town concerns. We
have stayed at many private home vacation rentals,
but by far this was the best ever. Thanks again
Scott and Sufia for making our wedding/vacation
more memorable

We had another wonderful "Girls' Annual" at Sobre Vista; we're booking again for next year!!! The jacuzzi and pool were wonderful, and the grounds were beautiful with all the spring blooms. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to next year's stay. Thanks, Scott. P.S. - The Wi-Fi this year was a great additional amenity!!!

Thanks for a great weekend at the Sobre Vista estate.
The house is incredible and the pictures barely do it
justice. The grounds were perfect for a reunion and
the house was stocked with anything we could
possibly need. The whole rental process was a breeze.
We would come back anytime.
