Our trip was to include the Napa Wine Train, but in general I prefer Sonoma to Napa (it’s more “real” and unpretentious). Given a foreseen split of our time between the two valleys, I didn’t really care which one our lodging was located in. But the host, Lance, did a remarkable job of conveying his property’s essence and charm via the VRBO listing. We chose Sonoma based on this cottage alone - glad we went on this path. The cottage is exactly as described and as pictured and was perfect for my wife and I. The small patio bistro table pictured in the lead photo was used by us each evening just as depicted- two glasses and a bottle of wine. One night we were treated to a taste of the initial uncorking of the host’s latest vinification; he’s a obviously a skilled and knowledgeable wine maker. His sharing of knowledge about Sonoma area activities and dining was very helpful. The cottage is very cute, cozy and clean …. exactly what we had hoped for. Given the amazing restaurants nearby, we did not use the kitchen much, but it’s fully equipped for any imaginable meal preparation or baking. Great property in a quiet neighborhood, very close to the amenities of Sonoma (the town) and the vineyards of the Sonoma Valley. We would be thrilled to return in the future!

Wonderful stay! It was really nice to have a full kitchen and living area. Accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the hosts were very nice.

We had a lovely time away together. We'd highly recommend this quiet and comfortable cottage.

We were in the area to celebrate a 50th and 25th wedding anniversaries. This was a quiet, clean very nice place to stay. It’s centrally located in the wine country near Sonoma and Napa. Lance, our host, was very helpful with restaurants and wineries. We would definitely stay there again. Lovely deck in garden setting for sipping wine.

Great location, super clean, wonderful hosts onsite

My fiancé and I loved our stay here. The cottage is supplied with everything that youd need for your stay, plus there's a small market minutes away for food and whatnot. The garden is spectacular and his book was a great read. We wil keep this in our favorites for any future Sonoma trips.

The bungalow is perfectly located, close to downtown Sonoma, shopping, and the wineries within the surrounding areas. It was well appointed with everything we needed, coffee was amazing. The host is very welcoming and informative. All the restaurants that were suggested came with a tasteful experience. The host was very caring and a delight to visit with. We will be returning next year. Thank you for making our visit special!!!

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights and had a very relaxing stay
