Convenience with value.

We were visiting both Napa and Sonoma and this location was convenient for both. A great value for a great location. The host was easy to reach before arrival and not needed during our 6 day stay.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. It was very clean and in a very quiet neighborhood. The master bed was very comfortable. There is a door from the bedroom to the outdoor deck with a table and chairs to sit and relax. There is also a door from the living/dining room to the other side of the deck with a nice table and chairs to sit and enjoy a meal outside. There are multiple TV's to use and lots of books and games to use. We did experience a little difficulty unlocking the 2 locks on the doors to the deck and the host helped us via phone right away to solve the issue. They were very quick to respond. The master bathroom has a very, very deep soaker tub/shower with sliding shower doors attached. I did not use this tub for showering as I'm short, but the other bathroom has a walk-in shower, which, of course, was much easier to use. Also, if you're following your GPS or your google maps directions, it has you coming to the property from the south. The left turn you need to make onto the driveway is a very sharp left turn. Not impossible to do, but it is much easier if you can come from the other direction, making it an easy right turn onto the driveway. Overall, we were pleased with this lovely home.

Amazing stay

We came as a surprise trip for my husband's 40th birthday. The location was amazing, very central to everything we wanted to do. The house was extremely comfortable, especially relaxing by the fire with a bottle of wine every night! Bob and Diana were amazing hosts. If I could give it 10 stars I would!

Roomy, Comfortable House

Convenient to Sonoma. Only about 8 - 10 min drive. The three bedrooms are nicely appointed and comfortable. The deck/terrace is large, and comfortable. It would benefit from staining/painting.

Hidden Sonoma Gem

Fabulous cottage nestled on a hill minutes from Sonoma Plaza and wineries. Three of us were in town for a wedding, and this was the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend. The cottage is much larger than I expected, with stunning views and an incredible kitchen and deck for star-gazing. The wine-swapping fridge was full of great wines, and we left a few ourselves. Could easily accommodate 2 couples. Everything from parking to communication to the cleanliness of the property were 5-star. Highly recommend. Will stay here again.

Excellent choice for Sonoma get away

We were an all adult foursome staying a couple of days to spend some time at Sonoma Raceway and hang out together. Great to have two king bedded rooms too. The tub in the master bath was not good for us, as it was quite deep and with glass sliders. There was nothing to grab onto stepping in or out. My husband nearly fell getting out. He’s 6 feet too. I am short, so did not even try. The hall bath does have an easier to access shower, so it was OK. Otherwise, it was a great stay and the deck was fabulous to hang out in the afternoon. We got take-out for dinner and that was perfect for us to enjoy our private time together. The roads in the neighborhood are narrow and winding, so you need to be mindful. If you drive a large vehicle, it may be intimidating.

At home in Sonoma

The house was perfect for our stay with 2 couples. The kitchen was well equipped and the gas grill was perfect for cooking in. The was plenty of room to spread out. The neighborhood was quiet and we loved hanging out on the deck for our morning coffee and cocktails in the evening. The beds were ok for the most part but could use a mattress replacement. Thanks for a great stay!
