Nice quiet location with lovely landscaping. Hosts are friendly and thoughtful. Lots of extra touches that make you feel right at home. Great location for exploring the area.
The location was extremely private and peaceful. Decor beautiful, understated with many sweet touches (knit afghans to wrap up in to watch TV, floral artwork over dining table, outdoor space with bamboo fountain) and defined separate areas for bedroom and main living/kitchen area with high ceilings to give great sense of open space. Felt like staying in a lovely guest home. Wendy keeps the place in pristine condition. She brought over delicious homemade yogurt, and demonstrated use of HVAC. The Barlow shops and restaurants' nearness made this a terrific stay. Would love to return!
We had a wonderful stay at this property. Very clean, comfortable and spacious. Would definitely book it again when we return for another visit to the area.
The house was very convenient to downtown Sebastopol. Functional house - model of sustainable design and decor. We were comfortable and the street was very quiet. We plan to return.
The guest house was SUPER cute and clean and had everything you could need to cook and stay! It is very close to downtown Sebastopol and we loved walking all over. We had the best adventures walking downtown and having Indian food and ramen. Shopped til we dropped. Went to the best bamboo nursery and some big trees! I would highly recommend this gorgeous property. At the end of each adventure we came home to the coziest cottage and relaxed! The bed was magic and we slept in every day! Thank you to our amazing hosts!
My daughter and I loved this beautiful "home away from home." Everything was perfect, and the hosts went out of their way to make our stay memorable. We will definitely book this home again if our travels take us to Sebastopol.
Wendy and Lisa are perfect hosts. They suggested restaurants and were available for questions. Their guest house is a quiet retreat with cool breezes and fresh flowers.We enjoyed it all!
Wendy's place was perfect for our stay, the location was great and the place was beautiful! Plus she was extremely responsive and friendly. Would definitely stay again.
Beautiful landscaping as you arrive. Such a lovely place. Very clean. Enjoyed our stay very much. Manager was very nice and respectful of our privacy. Thanks much!
This was our second time staying at this wonderful location and we were so glad we came back. This property is just as described; all the nice, warm touches that Wendy And Lisa provide really make you feel like you’re coming home. You can tell there is so much pride in their home with all the little details. Don’t hesitate to book this lovely home. It has everything I look for in a place to stay, most importantly, clean and comfortable and well equipped and the location couldn’t be better for visiting wineries around the area. Thank you Wendy and Lisa for hosting us once again. We will definitely be back!
Great hosts, very comfortable place, great attention to detail. Also wonderful recommendations for places to eat and visit. The guest house is a comfortable distance to walk into town. We’d love to stay there again.
This property was perfect for my Husband & I! Great location, walking distance to shopping, restaurants,.& more. Wendy & Lisa were the best hosts ,making sure we had everything to make our stay relaxing & enjoyable. We will definitely stay there again.
