Wonderful, clean, comfortable cottage, well stocked! Lynn and John are super thoughtful hosts, they have great suggestions for spots to visit. Oh and they make a great wine too! Location is Close proximity to vineyards, groceries, downtowns, easy drive to the coast. We loved having breakfast each morning enjoying the backyard oasis! The hot tub was wonderful too!
It was a great base for exploring Sonoma and Napa Valleys. If the weather had been a bit warmer we would have been torn between our explorations and the temptation to relax at home!
The cottage was cozy and quiet, in a great location, with all of the comforts of home. Lynn was an incredibly thoughtful, caring host. We loved the hot tub, loved the spectacular wine she shared on our arrival, loved the pretty surroudings. Just an idyllic spot - highly recommended.
Excellent host and perfect place with lots of character and charm. Amenities were plentiful and place had everything we needed and wanted. Nicely located for exploring the Santa Rosa area and close to the Sonoma Valley for exploring wineries and Bodega Bay. Highly recommended
The hosts were great. They invited us over for a tasting of the wine they produce there and we learned a lot of interesting facts. The house is great and the hot tub is absolutely the perfect end to the day.
The location was just right for us as we were close to two engagements we had in Sonoma County. The place was quiet and peaceful. We'll stay again if the occasion presents itself.
We had such a nice and peaceful stay! The cottage was cute and pecan bread was divine. We loved the hot tub and the garden! So many nice touches. We will be back!
Lynn's cottage is an absolute gem! It's a beautiful spot, close to downtown Santa Rosa and Sonoma wineries but secluded enough to feel luxuriantly private. Lynn herself is an impeccable host, warm and communicative. Overall this is one of the nicest stays we've ever had!
Lynn has thought of everything to make this accommodation comfortable and hospitable. The kitchen is well equipped for any possible cooking needs. Our favorite area was the large, beautiful and quiet patio and garden area. We would definitely stay again.
The property was like a little home away from home. Loved the back yard. It was easy to find and like a little slice of heaven. The corn hole boards were so creative.
The right size and space for two people. Everything you could think of for cooking between dishes, pots pans, bowls, utensils extra spices, and oils. There was a kuerig with a pod for your grounds. We loved being able to stay in and enjoy the back patio, garden, and hot tub after wine tasting all day. The owners were wonderful and gave you your space but were there to answer questions when needed. We had a very nice last evening of our stay chatting with them. I would not hesitate to stay here again.
My boyfriend and I stayed at this cozy cottage for a weekend getaway and it was absolutely amazing! The hosts were very generous and had a complimentary bottle of their homemade wine upon our arrival. The cottage had everything one could possibly need including an assortment of cooking spices and supplies. Soaking in the hot tub was peaceful and the fireplace in the bedroom was so cozy. Lynn was even kind enough to ship us back an item we had left in the cottage. Definitely would recommend staying at the cottage for a relaxing getaway.
This was a beautiful, homey escape! A grear place to relax during and after daily excursions. Very clean. Lynn and John thought of everything! We wanted for nothing. Highly recommend
The perfect home base for Santa Rosa family visit!
This was our second stay, and transition from summer to winter is amazing in the vineyard and gardens outback. We hot tubbed, fire pitted and corn holed while being serenaded by nearby cows, sheep, goats, chickens and frogs! We love this place. Thank you Lynn for the fresh baked scones, backyard bottled wine, and fruits and herbs picked right from the gardens. We will be back!!!
We loved our stay at this comfortable cottage in wine country California. The gardens, hot tub and wood burning fire pit were an awesome treat. The hosts were congenial but not intrusive. Nothing significant in the "house rules", all typical requests of a private home. Their home-made wine was delicious. Many local wineries in the area and a peaceful place to come home to. Thanks for a relaxing and tranquil few days.
My husband and I stayed here for a week during a three-week golf trip to the San Francisco/Napa/Sonoma area. We absolutely loved it—we do 3-4 VRBO rentals a year, and this is one of our all-time favorites. As mentioned, the cottage is vintage 1946, and we blew a breaker the kitchen one morning, but our hosts responded immediately and reset it for us. The outdoor space is large and beautifully landscaped, and I loved the hot tub. Furnishings are comfortable. Kitchen is small, again, 1940s-era, but worked perfectly for us for breakfasts, snacks, and re-heating restaurant leftovers. Would absolutely stay here again when in the area. Hosts are top-notch!
If I could give 6 stars, I would have. The host thought of so many special details such as soft robes, a running water fountain near the front porch you can hear when the windows are open, and a bottle of wine from their vineyard. We enjoyed coffee in the morning on the front porch and enjoyed a spa on the back patio with beautiful patio lights and there is a fire pit which looked amazing but we were too tired from our day at the beach to stay up for. The garden in the backyard is so beautiful and peaceful. This is a special place. I’m an RN, and picky about cleanliness, and the cottage and linens were fresh and clean. We plan to return and will share this gem with our family.

You felt like you were far away from everything but everything was just minutes away so how perfect is that. The cottage was well equipped meaning everything a person needed was there. Lynn was extremely thorough in the information she provided. We had no questions for her because it was ALL written out. The place was very clean and tidy. We were only able to use the jacuzzi one night (lack of time on our part) and it was wonderful . A million stars and a glass of vino, can’t beat it. All in all it was a wonderful stay and we’d go back.
If you have the opportunity to stay here, do! It is a wonderful property where attention has been paid to every detail. The cottage is very comfortable and is cute as can be. We were welcomed by homemade muffins, chocolates, and fruit from the trees in the back yard. There was a small container of milk AND a bottle of wine made by the owners, which was very much appreciated after a day of traveling. The bed was comfortable, the linens crisp and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need. Add to this that the grounds are breathtaking, complete with a wonderful outdoor table and hot tub, and you really couldn’t ask for a better place. As soon as we departed our kids asked when we could return. Would stay here in a heartbeat. Absolutely lovely property and Lynn is very kind and communicative!

Not what we expected
Owners were nice and responsive to questions. They stayed in a house in front of and within feet of the cottage. The location is 5 minutes from Sebastopol. Convenient, though from the reviews and photos we expected something else. The cottage is in a semi-rural neighborhood in Santa Rosa, not surrounded by open space on two sides. It was okay, but it would have been helpful for us to have a better sense of the area and setup, before committing to the rental. For us, it was a lot to spend and it wasn't what we expected. Again, the owners were very nice and we appreciated that.

About the host
Hosted by Lynn Wilshire
We are both wine lovers. John has made wine with purchased grapes for many years and after our marriage in 2013 we decided to chase our dream of planting a vineyard to make our own estate wines. We found this property with 2 1940's vintage homes after an exhaustive search and moved two households from Southern California to beautiful Sonoma County that Fall. Although we have accomplished a tremendous amount, we are happy to say that our vision will keep us busy for many years to come. We love the opportunity to share all that is wonderful about Sonoma living with new guests and old friends!
Why they chose this property
Great location! Centrally located in Sonoma County, we are equal distance between the Pacific Ocean and Napa County. Close to the city (San Francisco is an hour away)but with the beauty of the country, our farm is an easy bike ride to quaint Sebastopol or Santa Rosa. We can taste wonderful wines, food, beer, and wander beautiful Redwood Forests within minutes of our home.
What makes this property unique
We have a large garden with herbs, vegetables, berries and fruit trees all available to our guests (in season)who enjoy cooking their own meals. We make wine in our little winery building and love to share the process and a few tastes with interested guests.
