Himmel House

3 Bedrooms 2.5 Bathrooms 6 Sleeps Kenwood

You’ll feel a thousand miles away in this tasteful, wine country retreat, surrounded by natural beauty. Conveniently located just off Highway 12 halfway between Sonoma and Santa Rosa. Yet Kenwood Village and Glen Ellen, with their charming local markets and excellent restaurants, are just minutes away.

In the heart of the Sonoma wine country, Himmel House is a comfortable and tastefully appointed home at the end of a private drive in Kenwood, California. A tranquil retreat from the clamor and hustle of everyday life, Himmel House is a perfect getaway for one or two couples.

It’s called Himmel, meaning “Sky,” because when you are on the property—relaxing by the pool, sipping wine on the patio, or watching the sunset on the terrace—you feel that the sky is yours alone. There is nothing between you, and the clouds and the stars, and nothing to obstruct your view from the rolling hillsides dotted with oaks in the distance. At night, only the sounds of crickets and frogs and the occasional owl in the distance break the silence.

The house itself is lovely; with abundant natural light, stylish yet relaxed furnishings, original art, and thoughtful amenities to add to your comfort. It has three bedrooms and two baths, with many tasteful updates, modern fixtures and appliances, and a well-equipped kitchen. The great room and its French doors lead to multiple outdoor spaces, from the solar-heated lap pool and terrace to the garden, to patios and outdoor dining areas, including a covered/heated lanai.

Himmel House feels far away, but it’s easy to get to. If you arrive by HWY 12, there are no rutted, winding roads to navigate or mountain paths. You’re just a mile from Kenwood village and five minutes from the quaint town of Glen Ellen and 15 minutes from either downtown Sonoma or Santa Rosa. All offer excellent restaurants, markets, and shopping. Wine enthusiasts and nature lovers will find Himmel House convenient to a 10-mile stretch of wine tasting on Sonoma Highway, and hiking through the Mayacamas Mountains, Sugarloaf Park, Annadel State Park, or Jack London State Historic Park.

Featured Amenities:
Hillside view, non-smoking, high-speed internet, washer and dryer, induction range, gas grill, solar-heated lap pool (**April- October, dependent on the weather as it uses solar energy to heat **) If you would like to heat the pool during the off season, please inquire about the additional fee to heat the pool., water treatment with reverse-osmosis drinking water, heated patio. Please note this property is not ideal for small children.

**Please be advised only 6 guests are permitted at the property at all times. No visitors are allowed. While we absolutely want you to enjoy the house and your vacation, we ask that you please be mindful of the neighbors. The way the house is situated noise can carry quite easily to the other homes so please keep the volumes down.**

The perfect escape!

by Coleen

We had a girl’s weekend at the Himmel House & it could not have been more perfect! The house has everything you need down to the smallest details. It’s cute & cozy & although the weekend was rainy we were all perfectly content just staying in…. I highly recommend this house!

Home away from home

by Meredith Swan

This was my second visit to Himmel House and I'd happily rebook anytime! The property is stunning yet incredibly comfortable. On both visits, I've traveled with groups of six and we all are able to fit easily without feeling crowded in the least. Everyone is consistently amazed by how fantastically well-appointed the house is, with every possible guest need anticipated. The house and attentive customer service provided by Woodfield Properties are rare delights in a world of sparse, impersonal rentals.

What a wonderful home!

by Leslie T.
What a wonderful home! We truly enjoyed our stay. The location is great - tranquil and private while also being an easy drive to terrific restaurants, wineries, etc. The home was very clean and extremely well appointed. We were particularly impressed by the owner's attention to detail and thoughtfulness. The kitchen was clearly stocked by a foodie. There was plenty of quality cookware, glasses, plates, dishtowels, etc. The explantations on how to use the heat, appliances, pool, etc. were super easy to follow. We truly appreciated all of the thought that the owner put into being such a lovely host. We hope to rent this home again!

Perfect Escape!

by Meredith S.
What a beautifully situated and well-appointed home! We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have been able to stay at Himmel House on our first visit to Sonoma...it was the prefect retreat for a long weekend away for a group of 6. The property is filled with helpful notes, beautiful details and personal touches throughout that make for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Thank you for helping make it a spectacular vacation for all of us!

Lovely home and grounds

by Margaret S.
Lovely property. Home and grounds are just as described and Hummel Hays was exactly what we needed for a trip with our adult children. Kitchen is very well stocked with any cooking utensil or gadget one needs to prepare a grand meal. Somewhat disappointed we could not listen to music outside while enjoying the pool and could not use the gas fire pit outside when temperatures cooled down in the evening. Overall, a wonderful property.

Himmel House

by Patrice M.
Beautiful grounds and a well kept older (bathrooms remodeled) home. New appliances and all the basics supplied in a well furnished pantry. Quiet country retreat.

Absolutely beautiful

by Eileen D.
Don’t hesitate. The Himmel House was wonderful. Our only regret is that we weren’t able to spend more time enjoying the house. We were out the majority of our stay in Napa.

Truly exceptional. Every day we discovered a new special touch. Honestly, the place was immaculate, the amenities were extraordinary, the decor was lovely, the yard gorgeous and all around the place was magic!

Would highly recommend Himmel House and we would certainly stay here again!

by Paige
The house was the perfect destination for a fun girls trip exploring Napa and Sonoma. The location was great, as there were plenty of wineries very nearby and we weren't too far from Napa.The host did an amazing job ensuring that every amenity was taken care of, so many thoughtful touches and instructions placed throughout so we knew how to work everything. The place was very clean and was beautifully decorated. The backyard was gorgeous and had so many cozy spots to enjoy morning coffee. Would highly recommend Himmel House and we would certainly stay here again!

Clean and bright

by Hayden T.
The house was perfect for our group of 6 (4 adults and 2 children). The property matched the pictures accurately. The house was clean and bright. The decor was a cool mid century modern. The kitchen was well appointed and stocked with essentials like olive oil, salt and spices. The bedrooms were large and comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and modern. The outside space is probably the best feature - with ample seating areas in both the front yard and rear pool area. Great for outdoor entertaining and/or dining. Overall - this is a great property and one that I would highly recommend.

Quiet area to just be able to relax.

by Rose A.
Kitchen is extremely stocked. Quiet area to just be able to relax. The large bathroom is so nice with heated floors. Decor is a little weird but art is subjective.

Great Airbnb!

by Sarah D.
Great Airbnb! Well stocked with everything from pantry staples to shower caps to laundry detergents to charging cables, all of which is incredibly organized with lots of notes and helpful tips printed and labeled throughout so very easy to navigate! Beautiful manicured and spacious outdoor areas in front and back. I imagine the Barefoot Contessa would enjoy staying here and whipping up a freshly-picked lavender infused cocktail for Jeffrey. The team that manages this rental is also very friendly and helpful! Highly recommend :)

It was so peaceful and quiet.

by Summer S.
This house was amazing! My family and I stayed at this house to visit Sonoma and Napa. Kenwood was only about a 20 minute drive from Sonoma, with nice wineries along the way. The landscaping was just as amazing as the house. It was so peaceful and quiet. The house had everything you could ever need and thoughtful notes around the house to help you make the best of it. Check in/ check out was super easy. I would definitely stay here again!
