we loved our stay! As we entered there was a very nice welcoming note on the front door. Very clean and had everything we could possibly need. The Kitchen was very well stocked and we wish we could have cooked one night but the airlines killed that plan! Th house was close to all the wineries and restaurants we were interested in. We are all coffee cover and Jenny had beans, ground coffee, a French press. coffee machine all available to us. 5 stars!!!

Close to town square in Sonoma. This was my 2nd stay at Jenny's home, and I would for sure choose this host and home if I go back!

Beautiful Sonoma Family Home

This place was perfect for our family weekend in Sonoma. The open concept kitchen and family room were perfect for our dinners and the back porch looking out into the oak trees was serene. Our family enjoyed a long night of corn hole out in the front yard under the lovey string lights. The house was clean, check in was a breeze and Jenny was a great communicator. This house nestled just up the hill but still close enough to head into town. Jenny provided a detailed list of local shops, restaurants, bars and activities and had we stayed longer I’m sure we would have checked more of those boxes. Only 20 minutes away from the Sonoma Raceway and about a 40minute radius to all of wine country.

Perfect house for a wine country getaway!

The house is beautiful. Convenient location. It is minutes from downtown Sonoma. Even before we arrived, the host sent us information about the area. Restaurants, wineries, things to do, etc. There were fresh flowers and a bowl of snacks waiting for us when we arrived. That was greatly appreciated after traveling all day! The beds were comfortable, and the house/kitchen was fully stocked. The deck was perfect for having a glass of wine and unwinding in the evening. All in all, I highly recommend Hooker House for your wine country stay!

Comfy, quiet home

We were very happy with this rental - it was in a very peaceful neighborhood just off the main road into Sonoma and close to wineries. The kitchen is fully equipped with nice appliances, cookware, utensils, etc. A good selection of staples, spices, were appreciated. We didn't use the spacious deck due to chilly weather but it does overlook the beautiful yard and garden.

Beautiful house

This is actually the second time I’ve stayed at Hooker House, and both times have been excellent! The house is beautiful, spacious, and well-equipped. It is a short drive to many vineyards and restaurants. Jenny answers all questions in a timely fashion and was even so generous as to offer early check-in and late check-out when she didn’t have other guests! We were also greeted by a handwritten note on the door inviting us to use the fireplace if we wished. I wholeheartedly recommend this house!
