Romantic Wine Country Cottage in Kenwood - Walk to 15 Wineries

Welcome!
The Ladder House is an elegant wine country get-away located in the lovely village of Kenwood. In the midst of Sonoma Valley wine country, you are at the center of it all. A short drive from San Francisco and the rest of the Bay Area, there are more than fifteen vineyards / tasting rooms within walking distance (~ 1 mile) of our little cottage and another twenty plus wineries within biking distance (~3-5 miles). If you are coming for the wine, you have picked the right location. Start by enjoying a complimentary bottle of wine from one of the local area's wineries the day you arrive. You're likely to want to visit some of the local tasting rooms all nearby. See the activities page on our website for more on the local wineries and other activities. You can find the link to our site just above the Owners Profile below.

Planned Winery Tours
We provide our customers with details of local wineries by area with suggestions based on your favorite varietals along with who to ask for at each winery. Makes for a great pre-planned tour should you not want to have to do the work yourself. Ask us about it when booking the Ladder House.

An Adventure
Have more than just wine on your mind? Sonoma Valley is alive with activities and places to go. Visit nearby Morton’s Warm Springs for a swim and picnic by the creek, spend the day out on the coast and have dinner with a view of the ocean, take a bike ride and enjoy the picturesque local scenery or go for a hike in nearby Jack London park or Sugarloaf Ridge park. Sugarloaf is also home to the Robert Ferguson Observatory where you can spend an evening star gazing. Hike Mount Baldwin, enjoy the majestic views of Northern California and spy Golden Gate Bridge on a clear day. Sonoma Square is just a 15 minute drive and you can usually find a major event going on each weekend. We have put together a book of activities which you can enjoy while staying at our peaceful cottage with each activity rated by amount of time required. From a two hour jaunt to day long adventures, we hope you will find several activities to enjoy.

Dining
There are several great restaurants in Kenwood, all providing a great meal and ambiance. Slightly farther away in Glen Ellen, a 5 min drive, are additional establishments offering a great variety of offerings, all top-shelf. Or venture a little farther south to Sonoma or north to Santa Rosa for yet more options. For more dining details, see our website activities page.

Wine Country Getaway!
The home is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Great location to a number of wonderful wineries in Kenwood and not far from fabulous restaurants in Glen-Ellen

Perfect Location
Absolutely loved this house! It's decorated flawlessly, the location is perfect, the beds are SO comfortable and the jacuzzi is the perfect way to end a strenuous day of wine tasting while sampling one of that day's purchases.

Great house that is very well-situated
Great location, low-key - and plenty of room to relax........great beds. Love the bottle of Mayo Reserve Wine, as well as the hook-up provided to Mayo Reserve Tasting Room (only 4 blocks away walk).

Excellent stay!
We enjoyed our stay at Cypress Ladder very much. The house is very comfortable and well maintained. The location is fantastic and within easy walking distance to many wineries, we especially liked Landmark and Kunde vineyards. The owners are great to deal with and we certainly hope to return to this property in the future.

Nearly everything inside the house was new and high quality. Very nice surprise and nice house for our stay. We stayed here during our wedding at a local winery and the place felt like home the entire time.

Great Early Birthday Loved It!
Perfect get away for 2 couples to enjoy a spacious 2 bedroom house with both rooms equal (so no one couple feels like they are getting the small end of the stick). Beautifully located near the action but secluded enough to relax and enjoy the hot tub. We will definitely be back and thanks to the owner and his recommendations we had a lovely time.

Quaint, Quiet, and Tasteful
We stayed at the Cypress House for 3 nights for a Sonoma wedding weekend. The house is situated at the end of a quiet street in Kenwood, and was walking distance to many wineries as advertised. It was a wonderful stay and I would recommend this house to small groups of friends and family.

A Little Jewel of a House
Location, location, location. On a quiet street but close to everything we wanted to do. The back deck is lovely. We spent a lot of time there, enjoying the quiet, the flower fragrances, and yes, the hummingbirds! Your help and recommendations were very helpful.

Nice and quiet Cottage in a great area!
I loved staying here! It is a location of wine country that I have not been. The area is very quiet and you can walk to wineries. The house was clean and quaint. Hot tub on the deck was a nice touch after a long day of wineries. I loved the wine that Rob gave us. It was nice to feel welcomed. I definitely recommend this place.

visiting Ca wine country.
This is our 4th VRBO listing that we have chosen to live in while on a vacation getaway. We thourghly enjoyed your wine country home,hot tub, quiet, no traffic, just a really nice place to hang out and unwind. Planning another trip into that region later in 2013 maybe just before harvest time. The ND gang

Comfortable and convenient!
Our party of four was so pleased with the comfortable accommodations and convenience to Kenwood ... not to mention fabulous wine tasting on all sides and an easy drive to Sonoma. The home itself met all of our expectations and being on a quiet street in a quiet neighborhood was just what we all needed. The home is well equipped and a delicious bottle of Zin waiting for us was the topping on the cake!

Lovely home in Wine Country!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely, well updated home in beautiful Sonoma Valley. The furnishings were comfortable and beds and bedding top notch. Rob was very helpful with tons of info and suggestions for winery outings. We especially enjoyed the discounted wine and food pairing at Mayo and the bottle if Mayo wine we found waiting for us when we arrived. Thanks for a sharing your home!

Harvest season
We had a great stay. So many activities during harvest season made it impossible to sit still. The home was located in a perfect spot for Sonoma Valley wine experiences. The beds were comfortable and the hot tub was a bonus. The bathrooms are separate from the bedrooms and small, so plan accordingly. The property owner was responsive and helpful.

Wonderful Location in Kenwood
The property is centrally located in the small town of Kenwood, which made it easy for us to visit wineries north or south. There isn't much for food in Kenwood, so plan on driving for good dining experiences. The owner is helpful and nice. The property is very clean and had everything that we needed for our stay. The house is located in a small neighborhood of the main road which made it easy to access. We would visit again.

Great House and Great Location!!
Rob was responsive through the entire booking process and was very easy to work with. We shared the house with another couple and really enjoyed it. Hot tub on the back deck was nice to enjoy at night. Rob's suggestions on wineries and restaurants in the area came in handy. If returning to the area in the future, we will definitely come back to the house if it is available. Thanks again Rob!

A Gem!
This is the perfect property for two couples. The home itself is very clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. It sits on a generous sized lot in a park-like setting with a huge deck and hot tub in the backyard. Very quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. The location of the home is perfect as well-- a stone's throw away from many fantastic wineries. I highly recommend this property for anyone who wants the feeling of a home away from home.

Perfect place!
We visited wine country with another couple and the home was perfect! So much more quaint and comfortable. Great location that allowed us to visit Sonoma wineries for a couple of days, and then Napa wineries. Great wine tastings within walking distance too! We took advantage of wine on the deck at the end of the day. While too tired to go far, we ordered from Cafe Citti (recommended by Rob) and brought it home. Wonderful food! We will definitely be back, and highly recommend to others.

Great getaway for two traveling couples!
Such a wonderful experience from start to finish! Rob is so nice to work with. He responds quickly, is full of additional information for the surrounding area and is an excellent host. The property is in a lovely neighborhood with wineries, restaurants and a grocery store within walking distance. It is conveniently located for traveling to surrounding Napa, Santa Rosa, and Healdsburg. The hot tub was a great evening amenity. Very comfortable beds and everything you need! We highly recommend!

Wonderful stay for our wine country vacation!
Two couples stayed here for our 4 day wine country vacation celebrating special anniversaries. The home was perfect for the two couples, plenty of room, immaculate and had everything that you would need. The guys enjoyed the hot tub everyday and the grounds were immaculate. As described, the beds were beyond comfortable - wish I could have taken them with me. Rob was very responsive from our first contact through our stay. He gave us so much wonderful information about the area and pointed us to some excellent wineries/wines. We would definitely use this property again when visiting the area.

Excellent Property and Wonderful Host/Owner
Having never rented a home we didn't know what to expect; however with that said it was an excellent experience. No wonder why Rob and the Cypress House receives great reviews! Everything from the detailed winery listing to the check out went smoothly. He made the trip easy as we wouldnt have made the best use of our time during our two days. The home is well appointed with anything that you need. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again!
