  We were 2 couples and could not have been more pleased with the four days we spent at Caroline's Cottage. The cottage is charming, clean and well furnished. The two bedrooms with separate bathrooms allow for privacy. The kitchen and family room allow for relaxation and met our needs perfectly. We enjoyed relaxing outdoors in the privacy of the backyard. The location was great - we walked into town every day for shopping and meals and this met our desire to walk and get exercise. Lastly, the location was in the middle of many fine wineries - more than we could visit. We would certainly recommend staying at Caroline's Cottage when in Sonoma.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing.

  This was the perfect home for our needs. There were four of us and our small dogs. The home was clean and inviting. Bedding was comfortable. Location was excellent and home sits on enough land that you feel secluded in a neighborhood. Quiet and relaxing. The only complaint was that the hot tub could have been cleaner-we didnt use it. Also, pricing was a little high, especially after the pet deposits. Overall, the owners were great to work with and the location to downtown Sonoma is excellent.

  Caroline's Cottage is a great little getaway home conveniently located walking distance from Sonoma Square. The layout of the house is ideal for two couples since there are 2 bedrooms on opposite sides of the house and 2 bathrooms, so in a compact home you still have a sense of privacy. We were on a wine tasting vacation (shocking, I know) and it was nice to be able to have a substantial breakfast at home (because you do feel like you're home), spend the day visiting wineries and shops and then come home with our purchases, relax in the hot tub, make dinner and have wine and not have to worry about getting ready to go out again. We all agreed that at Caroline's Cottage we had one of our most relaxing vacations and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. With the town of Sonoma as our home base, we were able to take advantage of wine tasting in both Napa and the Russian River Valley within an easy drive. Plus, there are plenty of places to wine taste in the square, which is pretty close to a straight shot from the cottage. We enjoyed dinner at the Plaza Bistro and lunch at the Red Grape. There are so many restaurants to choose from, you'll never get bored with eating out, but if you do decide to cook at the cottage as we did, there is a Safeway and Whole Foods just outside of the square and Sonoma Market which is a local market with lovely fish and meats. Caroline had stocked coffee beans, salt, pepper, sweeteners, etc. There were plenty of pots, pans, dishes, utensils, glasses... I think the only thing I was missing was a wooden spoon (and that's just because I use wooden spoons for cooking all the time, I was able to make do with the spoons in the large utensil set just fine!) There is a charcoal grill at the cottage which we made good use of. Washer, dryer, iron and ironing board, microwave, gas stove and oven, really everything you need to feel completely at home. I highly recommend Caroline's Cottage. Thank you, Caroline, for your hospitality and all of your great tips!!!!

  Owner response: Thank you for your kind words. I am so pleased you had a great and comfortable experience while in Sonoma. That is my goal. I look forward to having you as returning guests anytime. I will add a wooden spoon to the kitchen utensils.

  My husband and I stayed at Caroline's Cottage for the month of October...What a beautiful time to be in the wine country!!! The cottage was a cozy and comfortable and such a wonderful location. We have relatives and friends in the area, and the cottage was the perfect place for gathering together. The neighborhood is quiet and close to the Sonoma Square and a good central location for exploring both Sonoma Valley and the Napa valley as well as the coastal areas of Bodega bay and Tomales Bay where the oysters and mussels are wonderful! The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped with barbecue, hot tub, large country kitchen and comfortable beds. The large porch was a perfect place for morning coffee and afternoon glass of wine. When we arrived, there was a bottle of wine and lovely chocolates waiting for us. Although we only met Caroline once during our stay she called and checked often to see if we needed anything. Would love to stay there again!!

  Perfect place for a girl's getaway. Beautiful property in the heart of Sonoma. Loved relaxing on the wrap-around porch and in the hot tub. Walking distance to the square made it convenient to tour the town square and quaint shops and restaurants. If you are fortunate to be there on a Friday morning, make sure you visit the Farmer's Market - fabulous!

  My husband and I, and another couple, stayed at Caroline's Cottage this past labor day weekend. The cottage is quaint, but also roomy. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch drinking coffee "chating" with the neighbors as they walked by with their dogs. The neighborhood was friendly and comfortable. We were minutes to everythign in Sonoma, but far enough out of town that one felt comfortable and "home". The cottage had everything you needed to have a perfect vacation - don't forget to use the hot tub - we did every night - what a great way to end your day. (the only photo that is not accurate is the table on the patio area.. there is a newer table, one with more room and 4 chairs instead of two) I would recommend the cottage for your next stay in downtown Sonoma.

  My husband and I stayed with another couple for a weekend in late July. Everything was very nice. Beds were comfortable, air conditioning was available, hammock and hot tub are nice bonuses. Definitely a value for Sonoma weekend stays. I would like to stay next time for more than just a couple of days. I would recommend this property.

  We just returned home from our week long stay at Caroline's Cottage in Sonoma. It worked out just fine for our family of 4, my husband, myself and our 2 adult sons (both in their 20's). One son got the 2nd bedroom, the other slept on the futon in the living room. Very comfortable beds. Very Clean home. Completely stocked kitchen for anything you would want to cook, grill or bake. In fact, I've never seen so many dishes, pots, pans, or cooking utensils in any other place I've rented! Other renters had even left things like coffee and filters, spices, sugar, olive oil, etc. Fantastic location in quiet neighborhood, easy walking distance to so many things; the downtown plaza, all kinds of shopping, grocery store, bars and restaurants. I absolutely LOVED the privacy of the yard and wrap around deck and all the flowers, plants and trees! Our boys used the hot tub a lot, so that was a nice "extra". Pictures on website are accurate-what you see is what you get. Would not hesitate to rent this place or another from Caroline, she's very easy to work with. All in all, a great place for the money. SO MUCH better than a hotel room!

  We stayed at the cottage for 6 nights and had a wonderful time. It is well-stocked with everything you'd need. The layout is great and the kitchen is very open. The bedrooms are far enough away from each other to allow for quiet and privacy. Although it is not the most modern home, it is very homey and cozy. We enjoyed sitting on the wrap-around porch each evening as well. The backyard is huge and very quiet as well. The cottage is about a 15 minute walk to the square where we found some great restaurants. There are also 3 grocery stores within walking distance. The neighborhood is very quaint and quiet, too. We'd love to return!

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Carolyn's Cottage. It was the perfect fit for my husband and I and our two teens daughters. The location is perfect and accessed to everything quickly and easily. We spent the 4th of July on the square and enjoyed all the home town activities. We were also close enough to enjoy a day on the Russian River for a canoe trip down the river. It was wonderful to come back and soak in the Jacuzzi tub which was a plus! The home itself is quiet and comfortable and perfect when we just wanted to lounge around on the hammock in the backyard. Carolyn was very helpful and in touch for whatever we needed. In fact she came by to give us some items we couldn't find and to make sure we had everything to make our stay enjoyable.
