About this property

Comfortable Two Bedroom Cottage on 4.5 wooded Acs. In the West Sonoma region

(FYI the monthly rate calculated by this website may not be accurate. Please inquire)

Set well back from the road on 4.5 acres...birds, hawks, owls, turkeys, deer, dragonflies, trees, lawns, flowers, grape arbor, wisteria, and, seasonally, apples, pears, blackberries, and persimmons. The level walk-out from the living room to the patio and garden provides comfortable,private in and outdoor living during spring, summer and fall. The winters are cozy too with the wood burning fireplace and a sofa bed in the living room. Our place is not luxury but very comfortable for a relaxed vacation.
Our place is perfect for two couples and people with children. Each of the two bedrooms have queen beds and are on opposite ends of a hallway. One has a full bath with a European style clawfoot tub and hand held shower. The other bath has a stall shower. The living room has a double sofa bed. We have a paknplay and plenty of toys for the under 8 crowd. The backyard, though unfenced, is well defined and excellent for play. There are two acres of woods with paths on the hillside.
Our formal dining area seats six easily with immediate access to the bacyard with lawn and Sycamore trees. The Kitchen is fully equipped and has stainless steel appliances including a convection range, dishwasher, refrigerator.
The private back yard of the house has a trellised patio, a lawn area,and steps to the upper acres. It is great for viewing birds and other wildlife. It is often chilly in the evening so bring a jacket to enjoy our deck.
Beautiful garden with gravel paths and pretty flowers in the spring and summer. Don't forget to check out the stone waterway at the south end of the property. In summer it feels like a different climate- a nice cool place to relax on hot days. An extra pair of flat shoes are a good idea for walking on the gravel paths. This property was named Owl Hill because the owls will call back and forth to each other from the tree tops.
Approximately 15 minutes to Bodega Bay. Less than 10 minutes to the town of Freestone, Osmosis Spa, and Wild Flour Bakery and within minutes to some of the best West Sonoma County wineries.
We try to offer a great value both in and out of season. Check out our off season and long term rates. We have had several monthly guests in the last few years. An easy house to "settle in". We are a Bay Area family, grandparents of three families each with two kids. All of us enjoy this vacation home when we can get away. Not luxury but very comfortable for a relaxed vacation.
The cottage shares a driveway with caretaker unit that is downhill and facing away from the vacation rental. Sonoma county TOT certificate #679N

Overall a nice stay
This is a charming little cottage surrounded by a simply marvelous garden on the backside of the home. The listing is slightly misleading as the property may be 4.5 acres, but most is not easily accessible and there is another home immediately next door (streetside) of the cottage that is occupied by multiple individuals. Nevertheless, it is quiet and peaceful. The house has all you should need for a comfortable stay. My wife found some parts of the home in need of a good cleaning, but it was mostly surficial dirt and no big deal to me. Wifi is terrific. Climate is just awesome for leaving the windows open all night for a nice cool sleep. Sebastopol is great little town that is readily accessible for good shopping and food. You are surrounded by wineries, so no complaints there. Good access to the rest of Sonoma as well.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The place was clean and set up well for our stay. It was easy to communicate with owner and she was very helpful when we were making our plans. Overall, it was the perfect get away spot for us.

Enjoyable stay
We enjoyed our stay in this cozy, well-appointed cottage in the woods. It reminded us of staying in our family lake cabin where things were a bit rustic and very peaceful. The only downside for us in particular since were are both tall is that there was not a king-sized bed. We would go there again! B&C

A Quiet Retreat
A perfect, quiet getaway spot that transported us to a time when life was slower, more thoughtful. Surrounded by green trees and flower gardens, the older yet modernized home with its wood floors and wood molding around the doors immediately made us feel at home when we walked through the door. We were even blessed by a visit of three deer and two delightful robins as we sat quietly on the back patio. It was a perfect spot for our quiet retreat.

Beautiful and peaceful.
Beautiful and very peaceful property. Was perfect for me, my husband, our baby, and grandpa. We had family over for a lovely dinner and the kids enjoyed playing with the onsite toys. Very quiet and clean. You can hear the sounds of nature and wildlife. It was nice being close to our family, parks, groceries etc. Hopefully we can stay again next time we are in town! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home.

Peaceful respite
We really enjoyed our stay here. Super quiet and private; the outdoor space is ideal for relaxing. We were challenged with some rare, weather-related issues (loss of electric due to crazy storms) and the owner was super considerate and responsive. This place is ideally located to explore both wine country and the beaches. Highly recommend.

Natural beauty in Northern California
My sister and I had a wonderful stay. The house is very comfortable, and immaculately clean and well equipped. Our favorite part of the property was the deck which looked out at the trees and open space beyond. We were delighted with the doe and her twins who visited in the morning and evening and loved the birds which were ever present. We were in the very quiet and peaceful country and also just a short ride into the town of Sebastapol. The host was responsive to our questions and correspondence. I'd love to visit again.

Great Hide Away
We saw a baby fawn, deer and many quail while enjoying the deck with our coffee. Our only regret was that we couldn't spend more time in this charming house. We were spending our days and evenings at a reunion with family. The beds were very comfortable.

Quick Getaway
What a lovely rustic setting! The house was quite comfortable - I was impressed that all details for a comfortable stay were addressed, we were not at all wanting. The house was just as pictured. The kitchen had all cooking utensils and serving dishes we needed. We enjoyed all the comforts of home. The temperature was quite cool, so we made use of the wood burning fireplace. Beds were comfortable. I would certainly recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay while visiting the Russian River valley and surrounding area.

Country setting near wineries and towns
This was comfortable and the owner communicated well. The binder is sooo helpful. We had a glitch with the wifi only in that our devices would not save the password so most every time we had to sign back in. I knew how to use the mini splits but my cousins had no clue so info in the binder on settings would be helpful for some. We all shared the one shower as the master tub had a hand held showerhead but no high mounting or curtains so they would have had to sit in the tub to use it. The patio is a lovely setting!
