Sonoma Heaven

A solo 3 night stay, this guest cottage was just what I needed. My favorite thing was the claw foot soaker tub. What a rare and special treat! The back yard has a patio table with umbrella- very comfortable and lovely surroundings. The bed was firm yet soft, if that’s even possible- heavenly.The cottage main living area is quite dark . The little heater stove worked quickly and easily. I’m guessing this space will be very comfortably cool in summer heat. Overall, a gorgeous property . Joe is warm, helpful and

Lovely getaway

The cottage was beautifully appointed and had everything needed for a relaxing weekend. The chairs in the front yard were perfect for sitting down for a few hours to read, in between visits to town and the surrounding area. Meeting Fergus was an added bonus!

Great location and accommodations

Great location, stocked with tea, coffee, hair dryer and some toiletries. Joe and his adorable dog Fergus were very welcoming and also gave us privacy, despite the VRBO being a guesthouse on their property. Would definitely stay here again.

Cute cottage with good amenities.

We stayed 2 night at the end of September. Perfect for a couple of nights. The only complaint would be that’s not walking distance to downtown so you have to drive. There’s also no sidewalk so if you hence it and walk you have to walk on the road.

Perfect for us

This is a one bedroom house with large bath, bedroom, and living/dining with kitchenette. Everything worked. Very advanced large flat screen television which allowed us to watch the U S Open Tennis better than if we were there. The owner is very laissez faire which suited us fine. The house only accommodates two people.

Wonderful place for a couple’s getaway

My partner and I stayed for 2 nights at this very lovely garden cottage. The grounds are a beautifully landscaped garden setting which made for a very enjoyable, relaxing way to spend a couple getaway to wine country. After tasting some local wines we liked coming back to relax and refresh outside in the great weather we had. Joe was very available and communicative and responded to any questions we had within minutes, while also allowing our privacy. We enjoyed meeting his little dog Fergus who stopped by to say hello. Everything was as it looked on vrbo and spotless upon arrival. Next time we find ourselves back in Sonoma we hope to stay here again, if available. Thanks Joe!

Quiet, relaxing and great location.

Joe’s cottage was perfect for our 3 night stay in Sonoma. Very comfortable king size bed. Kitchenette is small, but all we needed for breakfast, coffeemaker, toaster and micro. Nicely decorated. I would warn anyone with mobility issues, like me needing knee surgery, this is not a walk in shower. It’s a beautiful claw foot tub with shower. Unit is nicely decorated. Highly recommend.

Was staying here for a weekend wedding and couldn’t have asked for a better spot. Centrally located, clean, and just as advertised. We had the pleasure of running into our host, Joe, one night and he was kind and cordial. Would recommend this stay to any 1-2 person group coming through Sonoma.
