Vino Blanco

Vino Blanco sits up Mt. Taylor Drive in northeast Santa Rosa, tucked into a wooded hillside that gives the home genuine privacy. Mornings start slow on the deck, with coffee and a view that runs across the valley to Mt. St. Helena and Sugarloaf Ridge. Afternoons drift between the kitchen island and the long outdoor table. This Santa Rosa vacation rental is thoughtfully designed, comfortable, and built for togetherness — not just photo ops.

The east wall of the great room is almost entirely glass. From the living room, kitchen, and dining table, the view runs across the valley to Mt. St. Helena and Sugarloaf Ridge. Two sliding doors open to the covered deck, where the panorama runs the full length of the house. Most windows have no coverings — the privacy is built into the setting.

Trees buffer the property on every side, and the lot’s orientation means the view is mountains and sky, not neighbors. It’s a Sonoma rental where you can step onto the deck early in the morning without thinking twice.

Full glass double front doors open into a vaulted great room with a tongue-and-groove knotty pine ceiling. A double-sided gas fireplace sits between the living and dining areas, and the layout keeps everyone in the same room — cooking, talking, watching the game — instead of scattering people into separate corners.

The kitchen is built around a generous island with a gas range facing the living and dining areas, so the cook stays connected to the group. A second prep sink, abundant counter space, and an over-length dining table that seats 10+ make this a kitchen built for actual meals, not just reheating takeout.

The covered deck runs the full length of the house and works as a true second living room: a long outdoor dining table, gas BBQ, conversation seating, and a glass-enclosed gas fireplace for cooler evenings. Because it’s fully covered, weather rarely changes your plans.

The lower-level master is a quiet retreat with a king bed and a private outdoor sitting deck. The en-suite bath has a double-sink vanity with lighted makeup mirrors and an oversized walk-in shower with dual shower heads.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENT:
Four bedrooms across two levels comfortably sleep up to eight guests. The master anchors the lower level with its private en-suite bath; a second lower-level bedroom has its own adjacent bathroom; and the two upper-level bedrooms share a full bath (shower-over-tub).

LOWER-LEVEL
• Master Bedroom: King bed — en-suite bath with double-sink vanity and walk-in shower with dual shower heads; private outdoor sitting deck
• Bedroom 2: Queen bed — adjacent shower-over-tub bathroom

UPPER LEVEL
• Bedroom 3: Queen bed
• Bedroom 4: Two double beds — great for kids, friends, or flexible sleeping

WHO VINO BLANCO IS FOR?
Vino Blanco works best for groups who came to be together — multi-generational families, couples on a wine trip, golf groups, or old friends reuniting. It’s a particularly good fit for golf groups or couples where one person plays Bennett Valley while the other enjoys a slow morning at home, swims at Morton’s, or visits a winery — and everyone meets back at the house for sunset dinner. From here, all of Sonoma County opens up — wineries, redwoods, and the coast are all within reach. And because not every night calls for a Michelin tasting menu, a fully stocked Safeway 3 minutes down the hill makes in-house dinners just as easy as a night out.

Most Sonoma rentals make you choose: views or convenience, privacy or proximity, design or comfort. Vino Blanco doesn’t ask you to. The wooded seclusion, the panoramic valley views, and the fully stocked grocery store 3 minutes away all coexist — plus a golf course, a park, and a hidden swimming hole within easy reach.

Panoramic views, true privacy, a kitchen and deck built for togetherness, and full Sonoma access — wineries, golf, the local swimming hole, and the grocery store — all within easy reach. Sonoma weekends, harvest season, and holiday dates tend to book quickly.
