Right in the heart of SONOMA PLAZA - Adorable, Historical 1865 Victorian!
Location is the key when enjoying all that Sonoma has to offer, including the historic Sonoma Plaza. Slow down, kick back and relax in in this adorable 3-bedroom historical Victorian, built in 1865 and renovated for today’s living. We are just 2 blocks from Sonoma Plaza, a premier destination for wine, food, arts, culture, and lifestyle. Our town will win you over with its small-town charm, beauty and hospitality!
Every room in our home is tastefully decorated Sonoma-style, overflowing with lots of charm and natural light. If you enjoy cooking in, we have a fully equipped kitchen for everything you may need. Savor a glass of wine on our front porch, dine with friends in our private back garden patio, or head out to the Plaza for dinner.
We are owner-operated and have been hosting guests for over 12 years, providing exceptional service to our guests. We’ve worked hard to earn constant high ratings from our 250+ reviews so you will know exactly what to expect during your stay with us. For years, we have qualified as a “Premier Partner” with VRBO, meaning that we have earned a higher level of recognition for hosting just the way you like it. We are here to help you plan your trip, and offer suggestions that will personalize your visit with us.
Just 45 miles north of San Francisco, Sonoma Valley is the ideal escape for travelers looking to slow down and enjoy the best of California’s food and wine scene. We offer an ideal base from which to explore not only the Plaza area, but Sonoma Valley and neighboring wine regions (Glen Ellen, Kenwood, Russian River, Healdsburg, Anderson Valley, & Napa Valley). Just 45 miles north of San Francisco, Sonoma Valley is the ideal escape for travelers looking to slow down and enjoy the best of California’s food and wine scene.

About the host
Hosted by Kathy and David
Kathy is a Bay Area native & David left Illinois back in 1982, when it was -23 degrees, and never looked back. We met doing what we love -- cycling. When we first met, we often would venture to Sonoma County for cycling events, hiking, wine tasting and indulging in amazing meals. We eventually settled here in 2012, and came across this gem of a property we now call the Sonoma Vintage Cottage. Our goal is to share it with our amazing guests from all over the world. We truly love hosting visitors, and helping them enjoy all that this area offers!
Why they chose this property
*We are a HOMEAWAY/VRBO 'EXCEPTIONAL' rated property* What is not to love about Sonoma, voted recently as America's #1 Small Town Destination (U.S. News & World Report, 6/17). Our particular property is uniquely charming, comfortable, well decorated, with vintage touches throughout. Take a look at some of our guest reviews (we are an "exceptional" property because of our 5-star continuous reviews by over 250 guest groups).
What makes this property unique
Remodeled, Historical 1860's house with the feel of Old-Sonoma, but updated and just adorable. We are a 5 minute walk from the Plaza, so no need to drive anywhere! The Plaza has so much to offer - wineries, eateries, farmer's market, festivals, concerts... you name it!
