This is a great place to stay. Good for a girls getaway or a few couples. We had 4 people and it was perfect. One of the rooms has a bathroom included. The place was clean, well stocked, it has a nice deck along the back. It is an upstairs to the owner. We did not see Jenny but she was very responsive. Great location, very close to the old Sonoma square, near wineries, and thrift stores, if you like that. The botanical garden is nearby too. I highly recommend this place. Jenny left us a yummy almond torte, which was great with coffee in the morning.

Great Centrally Located Rental

We were in town for a family wedding. Jenny's place was perfect - we loved the easy to get to location, great neighborhood for morning walks, comfy beds, 2 bathrooms and the covered porch for watching the rain. Jenny had so many little touches - our favorites were the games, snacks, and candles!

This house was perfect for our girls' get-away for a birthday celebration!! There were 3 of us, so we each had our own room. The bedrooms are close together, so it was fun to pop around to each other's rooms. The beds were super comfy... we all got really good sleep each night! And the house is welcoming, nicely decorated, and well-appointed and stocked. We were there the first weekend of December and she had Christmas decor up which was really nice. Although we were out and about a lot of the time and didn't spend a ton of time in the house, we really enjoyed the spacious deck in the mornings. I will definitely book again the next time I am in Sonoma! Our host, Jenny, is wonderful! Communication before our arrival was thorough and helpful! She definitely knows what she's doing and how to host. Highly recommend!

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!

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.

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!

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.
