About this property

Wine Country Cottage in downtown Santa Rosa, CA

This lovely home is over 100 years old, built in 1885. Our lovely cottage is the place to stay.
Make yourself at home in our newly renovated craftsman cottage, with traditional wood accents and original hardwood floors. Comfortably blending modern conveniences with historic charm.
Our cottage has all your comforts from home and then some. You can relax in our garden suite, the french doors open up to our beautiful backyard garden. Enjoy sitting by our outdoor firepit or, relax in our classic suite that opens into the living area, for an even cozier atmosphere. Both rooms have large skylights in them for natural lighting. That may be an issue if sensitive to light. Play board games, watch T.V. or just relax by the fireplace with a glass of wine.

Curious to know what makes downtown Santa Rosa so wonderful? Well take a 5 minute stroll down the road, and visit our downtown district and enjoy some of the local crafted beers at our famous "Russian River Brewery", have some wine and cocktails at "Perch & Plow" or "Bird & The Bottle" (best Cosmo's in town). While you're here, visit some of our great restaurants, like our 5 star Ca'Bianca's Italian Restaurant, where every dish just melts in your mouth!
(PLEASE NOTE: because of it's location to our cottage. some noise after 10 pm on weekends may be a factor),
La Rosa Taqueria (Mexican Cuisine), Belly Left Coast Kitchen and Tap Room. (American Cuisine) and so much more. Shop at some of our cute, swanky boutiques or grab a coffee at one of our local coffee shops. Wine tasting galore at many of our tasting rooms, whatever you fancy, Santa Rosa has it all.


During our spring and summer months, enjoy the weekly farmers market every Wednesday night , as well as many weekend events in our historic downtown and railroad square.

Great central location for visiting and exploring that area of the country since typically an hour from sooo many great wines, shops, hikes, trails! It was a cute little cottage that was very clean. Cute area in back and great foods/drinks next door was added perk. Would definitely stay there again!

The place was perfect for my wife, dog and I, and our daughter who stayed a few days. Great central location near restaurants, but still relatively quiet side street. Good off street parking. Neat private back yard with propane fire pit and grill. Timely communications with hosts. Definitely would stay here again next time I’m in town.

The property was clean and well maintained, which we appreciated. However, it was definitely on the smaller side, with very limited closet and bathroom space. The beds were advertised as queen-size, but they felt more like full-size beds, and the mattresses were not very comfortable. Upgrading to more comfortable mattresses would make a big difference for future guests.

Great weekend getaway spot!

We came to the area for a wedding and stayed here for 2 nights. The cottage is adorable and spacious. Many restaurants and spots in town are less than a 10 min walk away. We had everything we needed during our stay and all instructions from the hosts were clear. We especially loved the outdoor area with the fire pit. We made some great memories here! Highly recommend staying here on your next trip to wine country.
