  My boyfriend and I have stayed at Wowhaus twice and can not get enough of it. From the moment we arrived, we've felt completely relaxed. The setting - open orchards (where we picnicked) and redwood forest - is beautiful. The art and furnishings are cool, modern and calming, and the owners are GREAT, very helpful and knowledgeable about what to do in the area (we've become friends, and made dinner for them at the cabin during our second visit). It rained during part of our first visit, and we were so happy to be hanging out by the fire, feeling like we wanted to be nowhere but our cozy home. The second visit we did a lot of hanging out by the fire, too, but we also went out and explored. There's a TON of stuff to do in the area: amazing bakeries, wineries, hiking, the beach, the river, and lots of little towns to discover. Wowhaus is really wonderful. It's close to so much, but like us, you may never want to leave!

  My husband and I stayed here for a month to escape February in New England. We drove cross country with our two corgis and ended up feeling right at home here. The house has more than enough space for a couple and some canine companions, and even with working artists in residence on the property the rental felt perfectly private. It's near many wonderful places to play - wineries, a bike/hike rail trail, the coastal beaches, rivers for canoeing or kayaking, a zip line, farmers markets, etc - and great eateries, including restaurants of Sebastopol, Occidental, and Graton, plus the best bread ever at the Wildflour Bakery in Freestone. So much to do here that we didn't even get to all of it in a month! So we decided to buy our own place in Sonoma, and will be happy to count Ene & Scott among our new community of friends. (Do stop in and see their studios, they work in various media.) What's especially nice here is the peace and quiet and the lush property, which is alive with birds at all times.We made good se of the wood burn stove, too, as evenings get quite chilly!

  What a great time we had traveling to this area and being able to do so with our 4 legged "child" Jake (Australian Shepherd!). It was so great to be able to visit an area that is so welcoming to dogs (you can take your dog to some local restaurants!), and was so easily achievable with this clean, convenient and peaceful rental. The lodging is a very nice size, not too big, not too small! The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable and falling asleep fast and easy. And the bathroom with two sinks, ideal for husband and wife!! Secluded in the redwoods, we drank wine on the beautiful patio, relaxed and read books to the sounds of the birds and gentle wind on the beautiful June mornings (making breakfast in the well stocked Kitchen) and evenings all while our Aussie investigated the property and played with the owner's dog bounding through the grass and redwood trees on the property! He even had chickens to entertain him too! So much better for our dog than a CRATE in a hotel room and so less stressful on us! The owners were extremely helpful providing area information, and went the extra distance to answer questions and help us find local resources for everything from trail maps to a local Realtor! So close to everything worthwhile in the area; wineries, beaches (Dillon and Doran - both dog friendly), friendly villages (Occidental and Sebastopol), great restaurants, and best of all, friendly people everywhere. We enjoyed the area so much, we are hoping to someday return as property owners ourselves. Thanks so much for making this type of rental available. We look forward to returning soon.

  I love the feeling of wilderness here, the quiet and the beautiful country setting with the flowers, vegetable garden, redwoods, and wildflowers. It's a great place to bask in the sun, relaxing and reading a book. I also like visiting the village of Freestone, just down the road, with the Wildflour Bakery and the great little boutique next door, which has good jewelry and hats. We really enjoy driving the scenic country roads, especially the drive to the nearby town of Occidental with the tiny French Bistro de Copains. The rental is spacious and nicely furnished; I highly recommend it!
