If you want to experience serenity, beauty and cottage living at its best than you must stay at Vanity Vineyard. The amenities that are provided are way beyond what you would expect for such a well-priced get-away. You won't want to leave after you have experienced a little taste of this Glen Ellen charmer from the cozy feeling of the cottage that is extremely well appointed, to the fabulous bed that you can barely get out of in the morning as it is so comfortable to the other convenient features of Wi-Fi, TV, kitchenette and your own private hot tub. And to top of your stay you have the kindness, generosity and over the top service of your hosts, Dona and Danny. They made my stay a treasure and a pleasure and they made me feel like family. Don't miss out on this special escape as you won't find a better deal out there.

We just got back from our honeymoon in San Fran and Sonoma Valley. This cottage could not have been more perfect for us. It is very clean, private, and well decorated. Dona was wonderful. It was an amazing deal for the cottage. This was our first (and not our last trip) to wine country. This cottage is in a great location for so many things! Cheers!

Amazing Location, Very Private, Adorable Cottage

Vanity Vineyard was an awesome little cottage that was perfect for our long-weekend in Sonoma and Napa Valleys. The cottage was a perfect base point in Glen Ellen to many of the highly rated wineries, so the location was perfect. The cottage itself was well maintained and spotless inside. The pictures actually don't do it justice... the fireplace was an excellent little perk and we started a fire each night and relaxed with the wine we bought that day. The small refrigerator and kitchen also allowed us to go shopping at the market in Glen Ellen (try the bread, they bring it in from local bakeries fresh daily) and have the ability to prep our own breakfast in the morning before setting out. Overall a great stay... One tip to travelers: Bring some dog treats! The owners have the most beautiful little Shelties... Both of them are so sweet. Bella became fast friends with us and would great us in the morning and upon getting back to the cottage.
Owner response:Thank you for your fabulous review. I will be adding dog cookies to the cottage "amenities." Dona

My fiance and I spent 5 days at the Vanity Vineyard and had a fantastic time! The cottage was cozy in a modern way; very comfortable... The hot tub was also a wonderful addition as we were able to lounge in it at night and search the skies for shooting stars. It sound almost like a fairy tale I'm sure. If you're heading to Sonoma Valley, Vanity Vineyard is a better option than a hotel in my opinion...

What a great place to stay! Not only was the location ideal, close to Sonoma and wineries, but the place was very clean, quaint and quiet. I rented this place for my parents for a week and they could not have been more pleased and happy there.

We LOVE living in Sonoma County and couldn't pass up the opportunity for an overnight getaway right in own our backyard. The peace and tranquity this cottage and its location has to offer is bar none. We especially enjoyed lounging on the patio after a nice stroll through Glen Ellen. Yes, the cottage is in walking distance to this lovely little heaven on earth. After picking up some goodies from the local grocer (the fruits and vegetables don't get any fresher), we grilled a fabulous meal with the bbq that was provided. And we can't forget the hot tub under the stars. Whether you are local or coming from afar, you can't miss the opportunity to stay is this quaint little paradise away from home. Thanks Dona for a fantastic weekend!! Mark & Teresa

My husband and I spent a fabulous week at this peaceful, idyllic cottage. The beautiful location and amenities provided us with a wonderful vacation get-away. The local beauty and charming cottage were beyond my expectations. I am recommending this vacation treasure to all my family and friends. The property was clean and well-maintained. The customer service was beyond expectation. We liked everything about our stay.
