Nestled on 5+ acres at the end of a secluded country lane and shaded by a canopy of majestic oaks, Oak Leaf Retreat is a stunning, 3300 sq. ft., 2-story, luxury 4 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath custom home with a wrap around porch, abundant spectacular features, and gorgeous amenities. This elegant country Retreat offers the best of the two worlds of country and town, where you can enjoy the peace and serenity of a pastoral and vineyard setting that is only a 10 minute drive to the town square of charming and historic Healdsburg, the ‘crown jewel’ of Sonoma County’s Wine Country.

Oak Leaf Retreat is located near over 100 wineries in the Dry Creek Valley, Alexander Valley and Russian River Valley appellations. Naturally, there are dozens of fine restaurants within 15 minutes of Oak Leaf Retreat.

This special home, in the ‘Tuscany’ of Northern California, has a fabulous gourmet kitchen, the heart of this very special retreat. The main level entry hall leads you to the expansive well-equipped kitchen, on your left, which opens to the dining and living areas, all with high ceilings, custom lighting, abundant windows and doors opening to the 3-sided porch and back patio, and the well designed flowing floor plan makes for nearly effortless transitions from room to room. With everything your ‘chef’ will want or need, this kitchen is truly heavenly and includes abundant custom lighting, marvelous maple cabinets, a large island with a 5-burner gas cook top and prep sink, appliances including a built-in oven, stainless steel fridge-over-freezer, dishwasher, microwave, and a large stainless steel sink.

The lovely dining area conveniently awaits service of your culinary delights, just adjacent to the kitchen, with a rustic dining table, 8 high backed chairs and windows all around to let the splendor of nature ‘join’ you as you enjoy sipping, supping, and good conversation. From the kitchen/dining area, you can ‘flow’ into the large living and entertaining room with plenty of comfy seating for all including a large and small sofas, 2 leather chairs, and an ottoman.

The Retreat’s main level is completed with 2 lovely bedrooms with full baths and a convenient laundry room. Situated to the left and right of the entry, the bedroom suites are on opposite sides allowing for maximum privacy. The bedroom suite on the left has a comfy Queen bed, a full glass door to the side porch, and the private en-suite bath is well-appointed with a shower over tub and pedestal sink. Also, WiFi delivers high-speed internet connection that reaches throughout the Retreat and outdoors.

On the right front side of the home, ‘lives’ the second bedroom suite with a King bed, peaceful décor, and full glass door, leading to the back deck and spa. A well appointed second en-suite bathroom features a huge walk-in, fully tiled shower with 2 showering stations with wands and a teak ‘in shower’ bench. Additionally, there is a private water closet, vanity, small dresser, and mirrored wall which completes this roomy and efficient ‘getting ready’ station. Finally, on the main level you'll find an additional half bath and a laundry with large washer and dryer, sink, and another full glass door to the side porch.

But wait! Climb the staircase to the upper level of this very special home to the expansive 1400+ sq. ft. multi-use Great Room suite. A private family retreat unto itself, this beautiful space creates a relaxing environment full of amenities and opportunities for play, watching TV or a movie, or a rejuvenating, restful sleep. Enter the upstairs expansive living entertainment area with sofa and loveseat and a 72” HD TV with DVD player.

One bedroom has a King bed and the other bedroom a Queen bed. There are also a desk/work station and a wet bar. Spa inspired, the suite's bathroom is grand, and features a private bath and shower room that includes a jetted Jacuzzi soaking tub and a large free standing shower with wand. Also, adjoining is a private water closet, and a private vanity with mirrored wall.

Considering the splendor of it all and spectacular and abundant amenities and features of this magnificent Retreat, you may never want to leave and may have to be ‘pried’ out to enjoy the beauty of Mother Nature and the many adventures to be enjoyed in Healdsburg, Windsor and the surrounding areas. The outdoor features of the Retreat include a 3-sided wrap-around porch, back deck with 2 tables with umbrellas and chairs for 8, a 6-person hydrotherapy spa, a gas grill for your BBQing pleasure, the shaded canopy of 100 year old oaks, and the glorious sunsets over the vineyard. Finally, there is a covered grape arbor with a round table and 8 chairs for outdoor dining. During the early morning hours of the ballooning season, you may also enjoy balloons overhead and, if you listen carefully, you'll hear distant conversations from above.

Such a beautiful part of the world
My daughter, son, and his wife and I stayed for 8 days and we had the most amazing stay. Waking up each morning to the views out the window was delightful. The sunsets were spectacular. I didn't know it would be so beautiful everywhere I looked. From the meals we cooked in the beautiful kitchen, to the adventures to the coast, the redwoods, and local hikes, to the hot tub, to walks in the neighborhood, we had the most wonderful time. Andrew was super responsive and concerned when we had a glitch. He and Bonnie recommended the most delicious restaurants. If you are looking for a beautiful adventure and comfortable time with friends and family, this is the place.

Thanksgiving
The kitchen had everything we needed the house was clean, spacious and the beds were comfortable. The wrap around patio and views from the kitchen and living room are lovely. It was quiet and peaceful. Check in was easy and my few questions were answered promptly. We would definitely stay again. We did wish there had been a TV downstairs.

About the host

Hosted by Bonnie and Andrew McGuire

Host profile image
Bonnie and I grew up in the East Bay and attended school together from 4th grade through high school and, upon graduation, we parted ways. 53 years later, we remet, as widow and widower, and in the Fall of 2019 got married--at age 74! We moved into Bonnie's home in the Peninsula and rented my home for vacationers. We intend to constantly upgrade our home with the amenities that make for a relaxing and memorable retreat or vacation. We encourage feedback from our guests so we can improve the 'wine country' experience for future guests. Thank you for considering our home for your 'retreat.' Bonnie and Andrew McGuire, Owners

What makes this property unique

Our home is at the end of a country lane, is peaceful and quiet and is located in the heart of Sonoma wine country. There are nearly 50 species of birds that visit at different times of the year. In August, there are plentiful blackberries to pick and eat. And, there is a wonderous and private 1 mile walking or jogging trail in the vineyard adjoining our property.
