El Mirador (from Spanish, from mirror to look, affording a view of the surroundings)

This gorgeous, private, and gated 1.8-acre estate is located just behind the historic Sonoma Square in the country. Newly remodeled in early 2014 & 2017, the property features 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, a large living room with 13-foot french doors offering endless views of the Sonoma hills, and a 26-foot dining patio for gathering friends and enjoying the weather.

Come enjoy the view over the pool, relax on a daybed suspended from a perfectly placed old oak tree while listening to the koi pond quietly cascading in the background, BBQ warming your dinner as you sample some local wine and cheese.

El Mirador could be one of the finest places to sit and relax after a long day of wine tasting, hiking, ballooning, biking, shopping, or just enjoying the slow-paced local atmosphere.

--------------------------
Please note:
* DOGS: Small/medium-sized dogs (less than 30 lbs) are permitted with prior approval for the stated daily fee per pooch. Note that larger dogs and long-haired dogs are not allowed in the pool.

* PARTIES: The property is not permitted to host weddings, receptions, or large parties (more than 13 people). These events require a commercial license and insurance.

* POOL: The pool is solar-powered and typically warm enough for swimming from April through October, often into November. During the hot summer months, the temperature is 80+. New for 2021, insurance is mandated, and we have added a secondary safety measure and a "kid-safe" fence around the pool.

* SMOKING: This is a non-smoking property. Smoking will result in the loss of your deposit, as it is a serious offense.

* VIDEO: The property has a security camera for the safety and security of the property and our guests. It is visible above the garage and, for privacy reasons, only faces the driveway and gate. As with all Nest cameras, it records video and audio for security.

* COVID-19: If you are worried about COVID-19, please purchase appropriate trip insurance. We will refund your deposit if the county closes us, but otherwise, please purchase trip insurance.

* SMOKE: Same as COVID-19, if the county closes us, we will refund your trip. Please purchase the appropriate trip insurance.

* Please be aware that this listing shows up on Craigslist. The Craigslist post is a scam (they copy the listing and post the house for long-term rent)! Please flag it if you see it. Thank you, Steve.

Such a great encounter with Sonoma! Our party of 8 travels together frequently and we know when we walk into a welcoming home. Steve has taken care of many details that deliver on the spa experience he promised. You can actually cook in this kitchen! High quality pots, utensils, serving dishes, stove, oven, etc… it’s what you’d want in your own home. The gathering spots are spacious and have enough comfortable furniture so you can just hang out comfortably. The covered patio and east view of the valley is where the money is. Just awesome. We one stay-in, home cooked dinner and it was memorable. The bedrooms are comfy with quality bedding and bathroom accessories. The grounds are beautiful and spacious. Getting to the right gate entrance is a little tricky so try to arrive when the sun is up. Steve is very attentive pre, during and post stay. You’ll receive a House Information Book that is second to none. Well done!

We had a wonderful stay! The house offered beautiful views and was very convenient to Sonoma Square. It was perfectly comfortable for our group of four couples, with plenty of space to relax. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and essentials, which made cooking easy, and the host was extremely responsive and informative throughout our stay. Highly recommend for a wine country getaway!

This was our second time to stay at this beautiful, peaceful property. Last time we didn’t spend as much time enjoying the gorgeous views and I was determined to spend more time at the house this time. Every evening we sat by the pool and looked out over the hills as the sun went down. The kitchen has pretty much everything you need if you want to stay there and cook. Love dining at the outdoor dining table over looking the pool and hills. The bedrooms were well appointed with plenty of room for suitcases unlike some hotel rooms. The proximity to town was great and despite being so close, we had complete privacy. I highly recommend this property. Excellent for 4 couples!!!

Beautiful house, just as pictured. Easy to get to Downtown Sonoma, but also secluded and able to enjoy the wonderful view. Spent most of our time outside by the pool. This was for a group of 8 adults, 4 couples. Plenty of space and we loved that each room had its own bathroom. Great house!

Perfect location, but no electricity for 54 hours

We traveled with 4 adult couples to the wine country. Chose this property for the location, view, pool, and four full bedrooms. We recommend it but one catch, be careful of Sonoma electricity outages. Pros: 7 minutes up the mountain from downtown Sonoma View of the valley at was beautiful 4 bedrooms with full bathrooms Pool overlooking valley, Weber gas grill for cooking Gated property, Full kitchen, (no K cup, bring ground coffee and filters) Beds comfortable, plenty of quality linens Cons: A notification came out the day before we went, noting that our power was going to be out for the four days that we were there. We were not notified of this. lucklyish, only out for 54 hours. We were not notified that this was going to happen. The house should have been prepared for this incident with a generator. This is something that is happeing in that area right now. Not uncommon. Pool- Did not have use of the pool for half our stay because it was covered. Pool was around 78 degrees with the solar cover Showers- showering for 8 adults out of two hot water showers was not pleasant and very intrusive. No electricity 2 nights, 2 on gas, 2 electric hot water heaters. No power for blower dryers and flatirons Sister in law could not use her Bipap machine 2 ngiths (dangerous) Could not charge computers to do work for 2 days. Had to leave Van running to charge phones. Could not get in gate one night due to gate not working. If no electrical outage it would be 5 *.

Best Vacation House!!!

We had four couples come from all over the country to celebrate our husbands 40th birthdays. All the husbands grew up together but don't see each other very often. This house was AMAZING!! We all four couples had our own King bedrooms and bathrooms- it also had an amazing living room and kitchen to all hangout and cook in. We had a chef come in and make dinner and the outdoor space with a huge table was a huge it! Everything was super clean and ready for us. I can't rave enough about this house- Thank you, Steve for everything with the house.. answering all of our questions..and checking in with us!!

Off the beaten path of Sonoma

El Mirador is a perfect place to remove yourself from the square of Sonoma. Peaceful and serene which is what we wanted for this trip. We had a total of 6 (3 couples) and there was ample room. We stayed in the cottage by ourselves and enjoyed the extra bedroom for watching TV and having the extra room. The first bathroom is small and lacks ample space for your toiletries in my opinion. That suited my husband as he travels light. The beds slept good and the towels were very nice. The kitchen was nicely stocked and well appointed with quality appliances. We enjoyed the coy fish and feeding them. Our biggest complaint was that the houses were not prepared for our arrival temperature wise. It took overnight to get to a comfortable temperature. It was controlled by Nest and should have been set back the day before or at least the morning of our arrival. It was during Sonoma heat wave. All in all, I would recommend this house for large groups that like to congregate together.

Beautiful home in a great location

We spent 5 nights in early June with our two sons and their spouses. The layout of the house works really well with 4 king bedrooms all with their own bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are in the carriage house which is a few steps away. The location about 5 minutes above the Sonoma Square was convenient although not really walkable due to the steep incline and no shoulder. Steve provided some great information regarding local grocery delivery, names of chefs willing to cook at the property, and guide services in the area. The pool is lovely and stayed really warm throughout our stay. Having a private sleeping space for 4 couples and ample gathering space in the home made this the perfect choice for our family stay. Highly recommend this property!
