Beautiful, comfortable home in fabulous rural setting. We appreciated the large, well-equipped kitchen and sunny front porch. Bedrooms were very comfortable. With the farmhouse as home base, we enjoyed excursions to Sonoma for wine-tasting and dinner in the square, and to Bodega Bay for ocean views and hiking. Lovely weekend!
Such a beautiful home- was a perfect getaway for a small group of friends. A gorgeous house and peaceful surroundings. Amazing kitchen and super comfortable bedrooms. The property manager was super helpful and responsive (door was double bolted when we arrived and she helped resolve). Despite house exterior being painted, she was kind to send someone over to remove the plastic from the windows shortly after we arrived. Overall great experience and would love to come back.
Looking at the exterior you would not know what is inside! There is a massive kitchen so several of us could be preparing meals and seating around the island to chat with the family. There was everything we needed to cook, serve and spice our food. The master bedroom is large with a comfortable bed and in suite bathroom. The other three bedrooms and bathrooms were nicely appointed. We had plenty of towels, etc. We were attending a wedding at the venue on the ranch property. It was the perfect place for my family to gather together and not have to drive into Petaluma. I would highly recommend the farmhouse. Wish we could have stayed longer.
I booked this property for a milestone birthday celebration with a group of friends. The house is on a working farm, so upon arrival you really feel as though you are transported into another time (for us city folk). We were stunned as we walked into the house, which somehow perfectly manages to be clean and modern and also full of historic character and farmhouse touches. We really enjoyed cooking together in the huge, well-stocked kitchen with its giant island and great range. The dining room was a perfect setting for a birthday dinner with its big table and buffet for serving. And of course we ended the night at the fire pit outside under the stars with 8 very comfortable Adirondack chairs. The bedrooms were cute, and well-sized to share. The beds were clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were cute, modern, and clean. What more could you ask for??
