Perfect, quiet Thanksgiving getaway!

We were so happy to spend a quiet Thanksgiving trip at Henry and Julie's wonderful VRBO on their horse ranch! We brought our dog and it was perfectly set-up to enjoy the space and neighborhood with her. The enclosed front yard made it easy to travel with a dog. Inside the guest house we had everything we could ever need to feel right at home. We would love to stay again!

Wonderful!

If you need a perfect place to stay in Sonoma Valley, this is it! The location is perfect for visiting wineries, going to the beach, and going to all the nearby plazas. The cottage is spacious and comfortable and has everything you need. We loved talking to Julie and Henry (and Olivia) and getting recommendations of places to eat and see. My husband especially enjoyed talking to Henry (and feeding the fish!) and was amazed at all he had done.We’ll definitely stay there again next time we’re in that area!

The perfect place to stay!

Great location - peaceful and relaxing spot away from it all yet a quick drive to restaurants, shops, wineries, the coast and more. The owners have truly thought of everything you could possibly need. Loved our time here and would highly recommend.

Wine lover's paradise for two

This place is so amazing! It's located very near to at least 3 of our favorite wineries. The accommodations are wonderful! The kitchen has everything you need to create that special meal, plus lots of coffees and teas to choose from. The living area is very roomy and comfortable. The bathroom is more than you'd expect with double sinks, large mirror, and plenty of linens. The owners are very helpful and available whenever you need anything. This was our second stay here, and we hope to be back again.

I ❤️ Ross Creek Ranch

We had a lovely stay at the Ross Creek Ranch Boarders Lounge. The studio is very large and well appointed and the hosts provide tons of items to make it feel like home (kitchen has all the needed tools and staples, extra plush towels, soap/shampoo/conditioner/hand soap, plush robes etc). Location is in the middle of Graton, very convenient to Sebastopol, Santa Rosa, Forestville, Guerneville, Bodega etc. The apartment is in the middle of a working horse ranch making it feel rustic. I enjoyed having my coffee on the front porch behind the privacy fence with the fountains and birds.

Great place to stay convenient and centrally located!

We loved our stay at this cute studio cottage. It is centrally located with wineries, dining, and shopping closeby. It is very quiet and a nice place to come back to after a day of adventures around wine country. The hosts were very nice and communication was great. They provided welcom snacks and wine which were greatly appreciated after a long day of travel to get there. I enjoyed walking out to pet the horses which was an added bonus! This place was clean and well stocked with anything we would need. Would definately stay again!

Magical Ranch

We had the most lovely time at the Ranch. Julie is an exceptional host that goes above and beyond expectations. Everything was cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed taking a morning stroll visiting the horses and walking the grounds. If you’re lucky Mellisa will be teaching a class you can watch and learn her next level horsemanship. The location is perfect. We would love to stay there again!

Charming Escape

I feel like our stay at this charming cottage was like an Eagles song, just a peaceful easy feeling . When you come inside the gates of the ranch, you enter your own private world. The cottage is a warm open comfortable space, stocked with everything you need. If you are traveling with your furry friend, the yard is full inclosed. A great location for exploring the Sonoma wine country. Julie and Henry are wonderful hosts and Champ and Kirby are cute and friendly. Champ would drop by for visits with our furry friend, was wonderful. We look forward to coming back again.

Escape to Ross

I would give Location 8 out of 5 stars if I could. Quiet, private, and so close to excellent cycling and restaurants. Our dog Miles loved this place, with its fenced in yard and a pasture to chase the ball in. Julie was accommodating when it came to extending our stay (several times). I appreciate her efforts and her attention to detail. It made our stay delightful!

Great Place for Exploring the Russian River Valley

Julie and Henry's cottage was perfect for our trip! It had everything we needed, and they gave us lots of suggestions for exploring the surrounding vinyards. We walked to three wineries and a restaurant, all within a couple miles off the nearby West County Trail. There are vinyards and apple orchards in every direction. The kitchen was well equipped for preparing meals, which we ate al fresco at the tables in the yard. If you like wine and walking, friendly hosts and comfortable accommodations, this place is perfect!

Beautiful West Wine Country Stay

What a great stay outside of Sebastopol at this wonderful, very large studio. Julie was such a friendly and thoughtful host (Henry was out of town). When I said we needed a cooler, she provided one of her own for us. There were so many other thoughtful touches such as wine and snacks. The bed was comfy and there were extra blankets and pillows, comfy couches, and a great TV! A nice walking trail is nearby and the horses on the ranch were fun to visit. There are plenty of wonderful wineries nearby and Healdsburg is only about 20 minutes away. Thanks for a great time, Julie!

Shelter from the storm

We came to get out of the winter of 23 snow storms. We live in the Sierras and would be totally snow bound if we didn't make it to beautiful Sonoma County. Then, the mountain passes all closed and we could not get home.....so we extended our stay at this beautiful place for another 10 days! EXCELLENT access to epic bicycle rides and all types of dining. Quiet, peaceful......and our dog Miles loved it here. I can not give this VRBO high enough praise. Spacious, private, and so comfortable. I will book this place EVERY time I'm in Sonoma County.

Weekend in Sonoma

The house is just as described and looks on the site. Julie and Henry are both extremely nice and helpful. We were greeted with a bottle of wine, bread and cheese which was extra ordinarily generous. The kitchen is complete with everything one needs to cook up a nice meal. The house is so comfortable and on Sunday morning we just relaxed drank coffee,, fed the fish in the fish pond and watched some football. We will definitely be back and are thinking of staying in November some time to go crabbing for dungeness crab in bodega bay. Thank you to both Julie and Henry for an outstanding stay.

A comfortable well laid out space

The hosts are friendly and accommodating. Were willing to wash our linens in non scented products. The space and bed were comfy and spacious feeling. Only negative about this place for me was that the front faces other ranch buildings not that there were lots of people running around but I generally prefer more privacy. They do have curtains to block the view but then the space is darker. But if that’s not an issue for you I would definitely recommend this place!

About the host

Hosted by Julie Hunter

Host profile image
Henry and I are very proud of the accommodations and amenities that we are able to provide through VRBO. We want our guests to know that our top priority is providing 5-Star service in every way. We affectionately refer to the cottage as the "Boarder's Lounge", since resident horse owners used to gather there. It has now transformed into an elegant, yet rustic chic, home-away-from-home. We look forward to being your hosts!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this country property, primarily because of its quiet location and pastoral views. Even though we are surrounded by nature, we are close to everything that matters. Visitors to our ranch always feel at home here.

What makes this property unique

In addition to being centrally located to so many marvelous places & activities that Sonoma County has to offer, we are right across the street from the West County Trail (perfect for walking, jogging and bicycling)!
