Himmel House
You’ll feel a thousand miles away in this tasteful, wine country retreat, surrounded by natural beauty. Conveniently located just off Highway 12 halfway between Sonoma and Santa Rosa. Yet Kenwood Village and Glen Ellen, with their charming local markets and excellent restaurants, are just minutes away.
In the heart of the Sonoma wine country, Himmel House is a comfortable and tastefully appointed home at the end of a private drive in Kenwood, California. A tranquil retreat from the clamor and hustle of everyday life, Himmel House is a perfect getaway for one or two couples.
It’s called Himmel, meaning “Sky,” because when you are on the property—relaxing by the pool, sipping wine on the patio, or watching the sunset on the terrace—you feel that the sky is yours alone. There is nothing between you, and the clouds and the stars, and nothing to obstruct your view from the rolling hillsides dotted with oaks in the distance. At night, only the sounds of crickets and frogs and the occasional owl in the distance break the silence.
The house itself is lovely; with abundant natural light, stylish yet relaxed furnishings, original art, and thoughtful amenities to add to your comfort. It has three bedrooms and two baths, with many tasteful updates, modern fixtures and appliances, and a well-equipped kitchen. The great room and its French doors lead to multiple outdoor spaces, from the solar-heated lap pool and terrace to the garden, to patios and outdoor dining areas, including a covered/heated lanai.
Himmel House feels far away, but it’s easy to get to. If you arrive by HWY 12, there are no rutted, winding roads to navigate or mountain paths. You’re just a mile from Kenwood village and five minutes from the quaint town of Glen Ellen and 15 minutes from either downtown Sonoma or Santa Rosa. All offer excellent restaurants, markets, and shopping. Wine enthusiasts and nature lovers will find Himmel House convenient to a 10-mile stretch of wine tasting on Sonoma Highway, and hiking through the Mayacamas Mountains, Sugarloaf Park, Annadel State Park, or Jack London State Historic Park.

Beautiful Home
by Dan EAbsolutely Beautiful
by Jennifer KBest Airbnb Ever!!
by Nadezda MThe best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in! We decided to splurge for a house with a pool since we were celebrating a birthday of my 2year old son (he loves to be in the water). Before booking this place, we had a rejection from another house that called our son “too much liability”. So it was nice to be in a place where we felt welcome and safe too. The landscaping is stunning, the water in the pool was perfect, the whole house is filled with instructions that made everything clear and easy to use. Dyson hair dryer and vacuum cleaner were a nice touch, made us feel more at home and we could quickly clean after our toddler. The house is filled with original art, beautiful furniture and decor. It was a pleasure to my eyes. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
Nadezda thank you so much for your review and bless your heart!! We are so happy it worked out and you enjoyed your stay! Would love to host you again!
Himmel House = 10/10!

Design Enthusiast!
by Denise EHimmel house is beautiful and full of treasures for the design enthusiast. The pool and landscaping are wonderful, the beds and furniture all comfortable and the kitchen was a delight to cook in. We can’t wait to return to this peaceful slice of Sonoma/Napa Valley.
Denise we are so happy you enjoyed your stay! We'd love to host you again!
The perfect escape!
by ColeenWe had a girl’s weekend at the Himmel House & it could not have been more perfect! The house has everything you need down to the smallest details. It’s cute & cozy & although the weekend was rainy we were all perfectly content just staying in…. I highly recommend this house!
Home away from home
by Meredith SwanThis was my second visit to Himmel House and I'd happily rebook anytime! The property is stunning yet incredibly comfortable. On both visits, I've traveled with groups of six and we all are able to fit easily without feeling crowded in the least. Everyone is consistently amazed by how fantastically well-appointed the house is, with every possible guest need anticipated. The house and attentive customer service provided by Woodfield Properties are rare delights in a world of sparse, impersonal rentals.
Really enjoyed our stay
