This Glen Ellen house is lovely, well maintained and stocked to perfection. Our two night stay was relaxing, comfortable and easy. I would highly highly recommend this to anyone who wants more flexibility than a hotel can provide, including a gorgeous kitchen, laundry room and bathroom suppies if needed.

Owner response:Thank you so much Caitlin. I'm glad you had such a relaxing stay...anita

Anita- This was the perfect place for the last stop on our family vacation! The cottage had everything we needed for dinners and home in front of the fire & was so comfortable for the 6 of us. Sil @ Benziger's was great! We had a wonderful time exploring the wineries, hiking and running in the park, literally next door & visiting the Glen Ellen Market. We don't want to leave! We are sure we will be back to stay again. What a wonderful treasure you have here. Karen, Gary, Brian, Brad, Megan & Dani

Your cottage was the perfect place for our gathering of old friends from Illinois, Wisconsin and Los Angeles. We enjoyed the large, comfortable living room, and even built a fire our last evening here. Thank you for sharing this wonderful home.

We've stayed in many B & B's over the years, and Betsy's Cottage is at the top of the list of favorites. The attention to detail, from bed linens to bathroom soap, the quality of the furnishings and the creativity expressed in the home decor, makes this a memorable place to stay. We'll definitely be back! Ric Radford & Laurie Becker Seattle, Washington

Anita: Thank you for sharing your home with us. It has been the perfect 'home base' for our 3 day tour of Sonoma County. Each evening we felt like we were coming home- all the basics were there to make living comfortable along with the special touches which made the experience enjoyable. Thank you!

Dear Anita: Thank you for a fabulous weekend at your charming home. I could not have picked a better layout for our two families to stay. There was enough room for our two young boys to have space to play and enough separation between families so that we did not feel like we were on top of each other. Your home is very well appointed, and the linens and beds (which I am a stickler for) were fabulous!!! I really appreciate that each mattress is individually contained with an allergen barrier. Thank you, again, and we look forward to staying with you in the future...

Anita- We had an amazing time here! Your home is beautiful, warm and inviting. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Even though we all live all over the globe we want to make this an annual trip, in large part because we couldn't have picked a more amazing house to gather old friends, celebrate life and have the time of our lives. Thank you! Lindsey Glasenapp
