Description Cherries & Plums: Sonoma

City life feels like a distant memory from the moment you walk into this beautiful Californian home. Ideal for two couples, or individuals, the house is set across two levels, with a large, terraced garden and several decks with views across the majestic Sonoma Mountains. Outdoor living is a way of life here, with an open-air spa-style shower, outdoor grill for those balmy evenings, and plenty of seating on the decks for relaxing with a book or soaking up the afternoon sun. Take your pick from the seasonal fruit trees in the garden, cook lazy suppers in the recently remodelled kitchen and relax in the lounge with views of misty peaks through the large windows. If you fancy venturing out, you’re within walking distance of a number of restaurants and cafes, and just a bike ride from the many gorgeous vineyards in the area. For world-class hiking and biking, Sonoma Regional Park (11 mins drive) and Sugarloaf Ridge State Park (17 mins) aren’t much further away.

Home truths:
*This area is all about peace and quiet – quiet hours are from 10pm to 7 am and amplified music isn’t permitted outside at any time, so leave the portable speakers at home
*The host asks for a minimum stay of 31 days – perfect if you’re looking for a longer-term booking
*The laundry facilities are in the attached garage and there’s parking for two cars at the front of the house
