Perfect Sonoma Stay!

We had the most incredible stay at the yellow house and studio! We are already planning to return and book the red house too. The property was not only well appointed, but in the perfect location. We are so grateful we found this gem!

Perfect gem in downtown Sonoma!

We stayed at the Yellow farmhouse and absolutely loved it! Perfect location steps away from the downtown square in Sonoma! Gorgeous property with outdoor kitchen, fire pit, beautiful gardens and vines and a shared pool. Property manager sent multiple communications so check in and out was a breeze- would highly recommend and we’ll definitely be back!

Hidden Paradise

This enchanting property is conveniently located just two blocks from the Sonoma Plaza. Once you check in, you’ll never want to leave! The “yellow farmhouse” is a beautiful home and was a perfect spot to reconnect with old friends for a long weekend. The vast, majestic gardens full of blooming flowers on this large lot are stunning. All of the bedrooms are en suite with comfortable beds, quality linens and large screen televisions (which we did not need as we spent the majority of our time enjoying the outdoor living areas, specifically the pool with plenty of large shade umbrellas and comfortable lounge chairs). There were so many things that made this stay special that it is difficult to choose a favorite, but I especially loved the outdoor living space/furniture with the gas fire table. It was the perfect setting to start each day with morning coffee and end it with a glass of wine. Our interactions with Phyllis, the property manager, can not go unnoticed. Phyllis was very friendly and helpful, making sure we knew where everything we might need was located, and also professionally and patiently answered our many questions about some of the local activities and restaurants. There were some Sonoma County guide books in a drawer in the kitchen that were also very useful with planning. Good communication with your host is an important factor in vacation home rental and Phyllis was ideal! This property was truly a magical vacation destination and I would highly recommend it.

Lovely long weekend in the Yellow Farmhouse with sister and brother in law. Enjoyed the pool, playing bocce boll and eating al fresco outdoors....lovely garden with small vineyard with beautiful ripening grapes! Kitchen and family room was well used and comfy. And we never had to drive to the Plaza....it was always close enough to walk!

A little piece of paradise!

The “yellow farmhouse” is a perfect choice for a group of friends or a family, for an extended weekend, or an even longer stay. The property has everything you could want, including high-quality bed linens and a fully stocked kitchen. Whatever your preferred vacation pastime, from sitting and relaxing by the fire pit, to playing bocce ball or swimming, you’ll find a space for it here! The pictures on the site do little to show how spacious, beautiful, clean, and well-maintained the entire property is - both inside and out. No matter your destination you won’t want to leave this property at the end of your stay!

The Yellow Farmhouse and grounds were excellent! The early 1900's house has been meticulously updated using top tier furnishings, features, and appliances, including a Wolf stove and Sub Zero refrigerator. There was plenty of lighting and warm water as well as large TV screens in the living area and bedrooms, although we never used them. Kitchen and living areas are spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room to spread out after a day in wine country. The grounds are amazing. We sat under the umbrellas by the pool, played bocce, and walked among the rows of grape vines, never leaving the backyard. Although we didn't use them, there was a full outdoor kitchen with a very large gas grill as well as a gas firepit and hot tub. The location is walking distance to Sonoma Plaza, which was great. We walked there for both brunch (Sunflower Caffe) and dinner (El Dorado Kitchen). We even walked the park in the square and to the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art, which was featuring a Dorothy Lange photo exhibit. We were minutes from local wineries, like our visit to Roche Vineyards, and dinner at Wit & Wisdom but also close enough to Napa that we enjoyed everything from Bouchen Bakery and Stag's Leap Winery (Yountville) to St. Helena for shopping and dinner (Charter Oak). Our host Phyllis always responded promptly to questions and the checkout list minimal, making our stay an easy one. In short, an excellent experience all around.

You’ll never want to leave….

The Yellow Farmhouse is my new favorite place! The pictures do not do it justice. From the moment you pull up to this fantastic location blocks away from the Sonoma Plaza, you can tell that no detail was left undone. The house is nicely appointed with everything you need from the kitchen to the luxurious linens. You may have come to Sonoma to taste wine but you’ll not want to leave once you see the immaculately thought out and landscaped yard. Enjoy the views of the roses, magnolias, gardenias and grapes while sipping coffee by the firepit or enjoy a glass of wine while playing bocce. Or you could sip champagne while floating in the solar-heated pool! Whatever you choose, rest assured you will find yourself wanting to extend your stay.
