The little one bedroom house was perfect for us. A great location, very comfy bed and lovely property. Wish the weather had been a little warmer so we could have enjoyed the outdoor space. Would have liked to have a traditional coffee maker.

Great place for an extended visit

I've stayed here before and would not hesitate to stay again. This place is perfect for a short or a long visit as it is very clean, well stocked, quiet and in a great location. I especially enjoyed the fact that it is separate from the main house and is equipped with a washer and dryer.

We had such a lovely stay at this property! The home was incredibly clean, comfortable and had everything you could possibly need. The host was kind, responsive and genuinely helpful, which made the experience even better. The property itself is beautiful. It was such a treat to relax there and even pick fresh fruits and vegetables. They had a BBQ for outdoor meals and the overall atmosphere made it like a true home away from home. The home is conveniently located for exploring the best of the region, a short drive to the coast, the redwoods and the wine country. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and well appointed getaway.

Perfect spot in Sonoma County

This was a perfect spot for a family visit. Just 15 minutes from our son’s home and close to Sebastopol was very convenient. The property was very cozy and the owners do a great job of stocking the kitchen and bathroom with just about anything you’d need. Everything was clean and comfortable and the property was quiet and well kept. We’ll definitely stay again.

Comfortable and Quiet

Our stay at the little cottage in Sebastopol was especially comfortable and relaxing. Located on the outskirts of town, it is very quiet and private, and at the same time close to beautiful walking trails that we enjoyed as well as an easy drive to Muir Woods, beaches and fun towns like Pt. Reyes where we had two excellent meals. We also loved the short walk to Andy’s grocery in the morning for coffee and a doughnut. Everything you will need is provided, but if you should be missing something, Donna and Keith are close by to help.
