Sunny Grove Retreat - fun house with pool & spa, dogs welcome

Wake to hummingbirds on the covered front porch, then let the day turn into a friendly tournament — this 3,500 sq ft Sebastopol home is set up so the fun never stops. Step into a great room built for hangouts: sofas grouped for conversation, a turntable and record collection for whoever picks the soundtrack, and puzzles plus board games stacked for every age. Stream a movie, spin a record, or start a living-room game night before anyone even reaches for the pool floats. Cook, snack, and feast without leaving — the chef's kitchen comes loaded with a KitchenAid mixer, espresso machine, blenders, food processor, panini press, shaved-ice maker, ice-cream maker, popcorn popper, electric fondue set, and a hand-turned pasta machine, plus pantry staples ready when you arrive. Seat up to 16 around the indoor dining table for big family dinners, then carry dessert to one of the terrace tables for al fresco nights. Need a quiet hour? A laptop-friendly desk and fast Wi-Fi let one adult work remotely while kids sprint to the game room for foosball, ping-pong, basketball, cornhole, giant Jenga, or a craft-table project. OUTDOOR LIVING Dive into the propane-heated 20×40 pool with floats and inflatables ready poolside, then drift to the private spa as redwoods catch the last light. Multiple terraces step through the property — outdoor sofas, a gas barbecue, several dining spots for long meals outside, hammocks strung between trees, and binoculars on the porch for wildlife watching. The fully enclosed yard gives kids and up to four dogs a safe place to run.

Nestled in Sebastopol's peaceful hills, you're surrounded by redwood forests and just 0.7 miles from Marimar Estate Vineyards. Wine lovers will appreciate being 1.5 miles from Square Peg Winery and 1.9 miles from Freeman Vineyard. The famous Barlow marketplace — home to tasting rooms, breweries, and restaurants — is just 2.3 miles away. For dining, The Altamont General Store (2.3 mi) serves breakfast and lunch, while Howard Station Cafe (2.3 mi) is a local favorite. Stock up on groceries at Bohemian Market (2.3 mi) or grab tacos at El Mariachi Cafe (2.3 mi).

Iron Horse Vineyards (2.3 mi) offers stunning hilltop tastings, while Willow Wood Market Cafe (2.5 mi) provides farm-fresh meals.

Sebastopol is about 70 minutes from San Francisco via 101 and Highway 12 — a quick drive into the apple orchards and vineyards of west Sonoma. You'll have parking for up to 6 vehicles on the property's larger driveway. A car makes exploring west Sonoma easy — apple farms, coastal redwoods, and the Russian River are all a short drive away.

This hilltop home stays naturally cool in the redwood canopy, with limited air conditioning available on warmer days. Pool heating must be requested at least 2 days in advance ($150 per calendar day, available April-October only); spa heat is complimentary year-round. The primary renter must be 25 or older. Up to four dogs (80 lbs each max) are welcome in the enclosed yard — please keep them leashed on nearby trails. Gathering space comfortably seats 16 for meals; overnight occupancy is capped at 8 per permit. The home shares a well system with nearby neighbors — common in this area. From time to time, our water vendor may visit the property for routine pump maintenance. These stops are quick and do not require access inside the home; the vendor will not interrupt your stay. By reserving this home, you agree not to turn the pool heat above 92 degrees, or you may be charged an additional fee.
