Relax in the most beautiful, secluded setting Sonoma County has to offer
Relax in the most beautiful, secluded setting Sonoma County has to offer. Hilltop views, walking trails right next to the property, and wineries so close, there is one just across the access road to the property.
Constructed from trees that once stood where the Barn now stands, makes this property blend in with the natural surroundings. The trees were milled and dried on site. All siding, beams, flooring, basically anything made of wood is sourced from the property.
While this retreat feels like it is in the middle of nowhere, you are surrounded by everything you need. Wineries as close as the bottom of the hill, 20 plus more wineries as you make the short 20 minute drive to St. Helena, Kenwood, Healdsburg, Santa Rosa and Calistoga.
This area is best known for its wines, but there are some of the best breweries in the area too. If you like beer, be sure to visit Russian River, Bear Republic, and Lagunitas breweries.
On the property there are kid friendly miniature goats and pigs, you can swim in the pool, relax in the hot-tub, shoot some hoops, and utilize the full outdoor kitchen with gas grill, pizza oven, smoker, refrigerator, ice machine and kegerator.
We invite you to be among the first to experience this exceptionally unique guest house. This one of a kind, custom designed barn feels like it's in the middle of nowhere, but it is actually at the center of everything Wine Country!
Two downstairs bedrooms feature luxurious king-size beds and en-suite bathrooms. Both which have private outdoor showers where you can rinse off in the fresh country air after a long day of exploring all the area has to offer.
The upstairs loft provides a king bed and queen size sofa bed.
Both Bathrooms are accessible from the great room or the bedrooms. The guests staying in the loft can access both bathrooms without disturbing the downstairs guests.
All bedrooms have bluetooth speakers so you can listen to your favorite tunes as you get ready for your day.
Vaulted ceilings in the main living area make the retreat feel even larger than it is! After an adventurous day hiking or wine-tasting, you can come home to an 80" television with surround sound so you can watch your favorite show or game in style.
Large tri-fold doors open from the main living area and virtually disappear, magically blending the indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly. The outdoor area has everything you could dream of. A large pool and spa with lounge seating and umbrellas, a gas fire pit, outdoor kitchen, dining area and even a wine cave! At night, the ambient lighting helps create this wonderful outdoor living space.
Facing the trees and vast vistas of rolling hills, you will have an endless supply of fresh air and enjoy unforgettable colorful sunsets. A seating area with hammocks has been set up on the edge of the property so you can enjoy the sunsets in an even more scenic setting.
Adjacent to the 25 acre property is approximately 1800 acres of Sonoma County owned open space. You can do very long nature walks in virtual privacy starting from your doorstep!
Please note that the pool is not heated. Heating is not necessary from July to September. The rest of the year it can be heated for an additional cost. Please inquire about the exact cost for your stay. *** Also, please note that if the nighttime temperatures are below 50 degrees, we will not be able to heat the pool as it never fully gets to temperature and we do not wish to waste your money ***
It is best to have a car. There is plenty of parking at the property. There is a Tesla Charger that you can use during your stay upon request.
The water is from a well on the property and is the most delicious and fresh you can have.
Caretakers live on the property. Should you need any assistance during your stay, they will be able to help you. The owners also live in the main house for about 50% of the year. Everything you see in the photos is for your use only during your stay.
Please note *** The road to the property, Erland Road, is not a county maintained road. I highly suggest arriving at the property during the daytime as the dark can be daunting for those not accustomed to country roads. It is 3/4 of a mile long.
Molly's Rentals is a short term vacation rental company that provides a personalized customer experience to both our guests and owners. One of our team members is always available should you have any questions or issues during your stay. Our properties are well maintained and we always take our clients suggestions to heart.

Quiet retreat
We found this place after another cancelled on us at the last minute. I think we lucked out.
We were able to sit and relax and just enjoy the scenery. We also had good interactions with the owners and caretaker - a wine tasting then a ride up to the sunset overlook. The fresh eggs were a nice touch.

5-star oasis
Our stay at the barn was fabulous! Our trip included three very young kids ages 1-7. The property and grounds are like a 5-star resort and are very accessible and kid friendly. The landscaping and pool is immaculate and swoon worthy. The outdoor kitchen is a fabulous amenity and the house is modern and well-kept. It could maybe use one really thorough cleaning, but I have super high standards :) The beds are very comfortable and so are the couches. The drive to the property can feel daunting at first, but you get used to it. I wouldn’t plan to come and go a lot. This is a house where you gather your groceries and you plan to stay for a while because it does take some time to exit the property and get in to town. The farm animals were really fun for our kids to engage with. Antoinette was lovely and a great host, and she even brought us farm fresh eggs which were so delicious! A few more kids toys, high chair or pack n play (the one there is broken) would be a super nice touch and maybe a few more spices for the kitchen. I would definitely recommend this property and stay again!

What an amazing property in a secluded area. It was wonderful to have access to doing activities and having a quiet place to return to. My husband and I have stayed here alone and decided to bring our kids. I do believe that I won’t be able to book property without Farm animals and amazing dogs that come with it. Needless to say, it was a very memorable stay. My kids will be talking about it for months. Antoinette and Stephanie were knowledgeable and helpful. I will recommend this place to anyone!

Fantastic property!! The best family getaway!
This property is absolutely fantastic and clean!! I cannot speak highly enough of the owners, Stephanie and Kurt and of this immaculate, and amazingly built property. We had a little family reunion, all three generations had a wonderful time. Our little kids 3 and 5 years old, had a blast. Every morning, they would run around the property, go visit the chicken coop and bring back fresh eggs and harvest some fresh tomatoes and plum from the garden to make breakfast. They also loved running around the property playing with Lola, the Golden retriever. Stephanie, the owner was such a joy to talk to and was very helpful She gave us wonderful recommendations and surprised us with a wine tasting in the cave on the property and a little adventure for our kids. we would definitely come back and highly recommend this barn.

We had a great time at this property. The pool and outdoor areas were great. Some days we never left the house and never got bored. The location is perfect. Tucked away in the hills between Santa Rosa and St. Helena but just a few minutes away from groceries, restaurants, etc. in Santa Rosa. Catalina cooked for us twice and each time was exceptional. This is a must if you are staying here. Thanks for the wonderful vacation experience. We’ll be back soon!

Peaceful oasis
If you’re looking for a laid back, peaceful, and relaxing vacation - this is a great place to stay. The house and the grounds are immaculate. The outdoor kitchen was amazing. The house is very remote so this is a good place to stay if you just want to chill, enjoy the outdoors and have fun family time. I recommend planning meals ahead of time if you like to cook (definitely make use of the outdoor kitchen). Plan to drive 10-15 min if you decide to dine out at a restaurant. There’s not a lot of choices for good restaurants close by so cooking your own meals is the way to go. If you plan to use pots or pans, I recommend bringing your own. If you’d like to go wine tasting, I recommend hiring a car to truly enjoy wine tasting. There is one winery close by that does tasting by appointments. It’s expensive but worth it! (Fisher winery is very to the property).
The owner of the property Curt, was very helpful and hospitable. Catalina whom you can order oaxacan meals from in advance is an awesome cook. We really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely go back next time we are in need of some R&R!

Wonderful Weekend at the Upscale Barn in Santa Rosa
We had a wonderful time. The property is remote, quiet, clean and spacious. We had 8 people in the house and had more than enough room. We unfortunately didn't get to use all the amenities that were available (pool, hot tub, outdoor cooking) due to our wine tasting schedule. We could have used 1 more day to just enjoy the property. Even though the barn is behind the owners house, we still had plenty of privacy. It was very enjoyable and we hope to come back.
