Sunny Grove Retreat - Dog-Friendly Sebastopol Pool Home & Spa with Hot Tub

Slip into the heated 20×40 pool ringed by redwoods, then unwind in the private spa as Sebastopol stars come out — Marimar Estate sits 0.7 miles down the road and The Barlow's food scene is 2.3 miles out. This dog-friendly 3,500 sq ft home sleeps 8 across 4 bedrooms (king, two queens, kids' bunk room with four twins) plus a sofa bed, with a full game room and fully fenced yard.

Spend mornings on the covered front porch with coffee and hummingbirds, afternoons tasting at Marimar Estate just down the road or browsing The Barlow's makers and restaurants, and evenings around the firepit with s'mores supplies and a bottle from the day's barrel visits. Step into a great room where tongue-and-groove ceilings soar above sofas grouped for conversation, a turntable and record collection waiting for whoever picks the soundtrack. Stream a movie, queue up a record, or settle in with puzzles, board games, and card decks stocked for all ages. Cook seriously or snack casually in the chef's kitchen, where cherry-tone cabinetry frames a center island and the pantry comes loaded — KitchenAid mixer, espresso machine, blenders, food processor, panini press, shaved ice maker, popcorn popper, electric fondue set, and a hand-turned pasta machine all stand ready. Gather everyone around the dining table with place settings for 12, plus serving platters and glassware for family feasts or poolside lunches. Claim a corner of the game room for foosball, ping-pong, basketball, cornhole, or giant Jenga, or pull up to the dedicated craft table when the mood strikes. OUTDOOR LIVING Dive into the 20×40-foot heated pool stocked with inflatables and pool toys, then drift to the spa as the redwoods catch the last light. Multiple terraces step through the property — outdoor sofas, a gas barbecue, several dining tables for long al fresco meals, hammocks strung between trees, and binoculars on the porch for spotting wildlife. The fully enclosed yard gives kids and dogs a safe place to run.

Swim laps in the large pool, set up dinner on a multi-level terrace strung between stone retaining walls, and rack 'em in the dedicated game room when the day winds down.

Nestled in Sebastopol's peaceful hills, you're surrounded by redwood forests and just 0.7 miles from Marimar Estate Vineyards. Wine lovers will appreciate being 1.5 miles from Square Peg Winery and 1.9 miles from Freeman Vineyard. The famous Barlow marketplace — home to tasting rooms, breweries, and restaurants — is just 2.3 miles away. For dining, The Altamont General Store (2.3 mi) serves breakfast and lunch, while Howard Station Cafe (2.3 mi) is a local favorite. Stock up on groceries at Bohemian Market (2.3 mi) or grab tacos at El Mariachi Cafe (2.3 mi). Your dogs will love nearby Ragle Ranch Dog Park (3.8 mi), and the whole family can explore West County Regional Trail (3.5 mi) for walking and biking. Iron Horse Vineyards (2.3 mi) offers stunning hilltop tastings, while Willow Wood Market Cafe (2.5 mi) provides farm-fresh meals.

Sebastopol is about 70 minutes from San Francisco via 101 and Highway 12 — a quick drive into the apple orchards and vineyards of west Sonoma. You'll have parking for up to 6 vehicles on the property's larger driveway. A car makes exploring west Sonoma easy — apple farms, coastal redwoods, and the Russian River are all a short drive away.

The home stays naturally cool thanks to the surrounding redwood forest, though air conditioning is available for warmer days. Pool heating must be requested at least 2 days in advance ($200 per calendar day, available April-October only). Internet is reliable with network name 'amosul' and password 'dunedain'. The game room offers hours of entertainment with foosball, ping-pong, basketball, cornhole, and giant Jenga — plus puzzles, board games, and a craft table. The fully stocked kitchen includes pantry staples like oils, vinegars, and spices. The primary renter must be 25 or older. Your dogs (max 4, up to 80lbs each) will love the enclosed yard — just remember to keep them on leash when exploring nearby trails.
