Kenwood Home with Bocce Court, Dog Friendly

Summary:

Line up your next bocce shot in the enclosed backyard, just a 2-minute walk from Séamus Wines and Ty Caton tasting rooms in Kenwood. This three-bedroom, two-bath ranch sleeps 8, with central AC, a gas grill, and Sugarloaf Ridge trails 10 minutes down the road. Garage parking included.



The Space:

Spend mornings on the patio with coffee as Kenwood wakes up, afternoons walking to Séamus Wines and Ty Caton or hiking Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, and evenings around the fire table in the backyard with s'mores and a bottle from the day's tasting stops.



Settle into the sitting room for a quieter lounge moment, separate from the main living space where sofa and armchairs circle a wooden coffee table. Cook with Sonoma County produce in the bright L-shaped kitchen, where a window over the sink keeps things sunny and the gas range, dishwasher, and microwave handle the work. Gather eight around the dining table before everyone scatters back outside.



OUTDOOR LIVING

Step into the large enclosed yard, where composite decking flows to stone patios with picnic tables and wicker seating. Pour drinks at the fire table for s'mores and scary stories, or challenge the group on the regulation bocce ball court. Mature shade trees shelter the lawn — room for yard games.

Guest Access:

Spread out across a private backyard with multiple entertaining zones, then warm up by the white-brick fireplace inside this single-story Sonoma Valley ranch. You've got the whole home, with a BBQ, outdoor dining, and an enclosed yard. Your check-in details land before your stay; the garage holds two cars and two more fit in the driveway.



The Neighborhood:

You've landed in the heart of Kenwood wine country, where world-class tasting rooms line Highway 12 just outside your door. Walk 2 minutes to Séamus Wines or Ty Caton Vineyards for your first tasting. En Garde Winery and Hamilton Family Wines are equally close at just 0.2 miles. For morning coffee, Pillowfight Coffee is a quick 1-minute stroll. Stock up on picnic supplies at Kenwood Market, also just a 1-minute walk away. When you're ready for dinner, Stella restaurant awaits 0.2 miles down the road, or try the gastropub fare at Palooza Brewery, practically next door. For hiking adventures, Sugarloaf Ridge State Park's 25+ miles of trails are 10 minutes by car, while the closer Annadel Park (1.2 miles) offers easier access to nature. The famous Ledson Winery castle is just 2.4 miles away. Unlike bustling Sonoma town, Kenwood offers a quieter wine country experience — you're here for the vineyards themselves, not the shopping.



Getting Around:

Kenwood is about 75 minutes from San Francisco via 101 and Highway 12 — a scenic drive through the heart of Sonoma Valley wine country. You'll have parking for up to 4 vehicles between the garage and driveway. A car makes Sonoma Valley easy to explore — tasting rooms, restaurants, and parks run up and down Highway 12. For tasting days, plan a designated driver or book a rideshare ahead — it makes the whole day easier.



Other Things to Note:

The home stays naturally cool thanks to mature shade trees, though you'll appreciate the central AC during Kenwood's hot summer days when temperatures often exceed 90°F. Take advantage of the regulation bocce ball court in the backyard — it's a rare amenity that makes for memorable evening tournaments. The twin beds in both guest bedrooms can be pushed together to create king beds, giving you flexibility for different group configurations. While Kenwood offers world-class wineries, dining options are limited — plan to cook some meals using the full kitchen and gas grill, or drive 10-15 minutes to Glen Ellen or Sonoma for more restaurant choices. The primary renter must be 21 or older.

Dogs up to 50lbs are welcome.
