Comfort and Attentiveness Through the Storm

We arrived at the guesthouse just prior to the 2/2024 huge storm. Anne was attentive and responsive from the beginning and the guesthouse a perfect retreat for the weekend we has planned to stay there. The rain and wind came and we stayed comfortable and dry, even through most of the power outage that the community and she also experienced. We were so grateful for all of her concern and TLC. We will definitely return to such a warm and restorative environment.

Cottage in Sebastopol

My husband and I came up to Sonoma County for some business mixed with pleasure. Mary's guesthouse was in the perfect location for both parts of our trip. The house was well stocked and we made many of our meals in the fully equipped kitchen. The weather for nearly every day was beautiful so we enjoyed sitting on the deck in the evenings with our glass of wine. Another major plus was the location. It's literally walking distance to downtown Sebastopol and the Barlow so many many options for eating, tasting and shopping. We had a wonderful stay and we can't wait to come back!

Fall Retreat

Comforting and peaceful guesthouse. Everything necessary within walking distance on what might be the shortest street in Sebastopol. Yet the coast and vineyards are an easy drive. The house was fresh and new with a lot of thought to details that made it feel like home. It was wonderful for me.

Great stay at Mary's Guest House

We had an enjoyable three-night stay at Mary's Guest House. The house had everything we needed, right down to fresh ground coffee in the fridge, and was walking distance to town and many great restaurants and other attractions. We appreciate that Mary checked in with us to make sure everything was OK, and we especially enjoyed the private deck out back. We won't hesitate to stay there again if we're ever back in Sebastopol.

Charming quiet home

Everything about this place was as good or better than we expected. Mary has done a wonderful job stocking her place with all of the essentials to make you feel like you are at home. We loved how light and bright it was and the quiet privacy of the large outdoor patio. We will definitely stay again if we are in the area.

Perfection

As the pictures show, this apartment is very attractive; what pictures can't show is how comfortable it is and how helpful Mary, our host, was! We spent more than a week at this property, and we enjoyed every minute. It was so convenient to have a well-appointed kitchen, lots of closet space, extra linens, and even a washer and dryer! As well, the description doesn't tell you how great the location is. It's two blocks from Florence Avenue, which features wonderful sculptures by Patrick Amiot. It's also walking distance to downtown and the Barlow. Really, this place is fantastic.

About the host

Hosted by Mary ONeill

I am a professional woman with an executive coaching and leadership training company, serving clients throughout northern California. When I'm not visiting clients onsite, I work from my home office, which is located on the same property as my guest house. I am originally from New York, moved to sunny CA in 1985, raised two wonderful kids - now grown - and now lead an active busy life. Moved to downtown Sebastopol in 2016, when I bought this lovely bungalow - in the heart of the wine country - and have been fixing it up ever since. I love this place!

Why they chose this property

It is close to everything! I can walk to dinner, movies, coffee shops, boutiques - and then hop in the car and head to Bodega Bay and get there in 15 minutes. The restaurants, wineries, easy access to Santa Rosa Airport - made this home irresistible. Plus, my daughter, son and niece live very nearby.
