                        Due to Hurricane Sandy delaying our flight, we unexpectedly found ourselves with a few days to explore Sonoma. Gayle graciously accommodated our last-minute booking and even bumped us up to a bigger cottage since the smallest one we asked for was already booked. Gayle and her staff were extremely friendly and helpful when we wanted to use the Weber grill one night to fire up some steaks. They even had a portable pantry full of spices ready for use! The cottage was very clean, well-furnished, and the kitchen was stocked with quality cookware. It was incredibly convenient to have their Sonoma's Best store right in the front so we could grab coffees and pastries in the morning. It seems to be a local favorite too. They also looked well stocked on artisanal grocery items. Highly recommended in the area: Sebastiani Winery, Whole Foods Market, The Girl and the Fig restaurant, Russian Rivery Brewery, and Cakebread Cellars winery (in Napa).

                        Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners.

                        We stayed in the smallest of the four cottages, and it was more than large enough for the two of us and our small dog. The cottage was comfortable, but still "classy." The setting is beautiful and quiet. There was a fenced area associated with the cottage for our dog, which we really appreciated. The store and deli on the street in front of the cottages is well stocked with basics as well as nice lunches, breads and cheese. We would definitely go back.

                        Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, girls getaway, pet owners.

                        My boyfriend and I stayed in the Un Soleil cottage while visiting the many wineries around the Sonoma area. We loved being able to wake up in a home-like atmosphere, cooking out own breakfast, departing for the day, and then returning to a relaxing environment to sip on our new purchases. We brought our dog along with us as well, which made his stay very comfortable and relaxing. I would recommend anyone stay here. We are planning to come back very soon!

                        Awesome! And, what a great location! Les Petites Maisons is just east of the Sonoma Plaza, close to all the wineries and great restaurants. These little houses are absolutely charming with all the warm touches of home - so much better than staying in a hotel room. Plus, they have bikes and Weber gas BBQ's to use at no additional cost. My only regret was that we were not able to stay longer -- Highly recommended by a frequent Wine Country visitor who now knows where to stay in the Wine Country.

                        We had a wonderful stay in the Deux Jardins cottage. It was relaxing, cozy and spotlessly clean. First class furnishings, fixtures and linens. Enjoying our morning coffee in our own little courtyard, while looking out at the surrounding hills, was a daily treat. A comfortable, private base for all our wine country explorations. We loved coming "home" each evening.

                        As I sit looking out at the misty morning back home, I'm remembering the enchanting time Gwen and I had two weeks ago at Les Petites Maisons! Every touch in your cottage was remarked upon with delight. Hummingbirds at sunset in your lovingly tended gardens will have me longing to visit you as soon as we possibly can...your kind and thoughtful care was so much appreciated.

                        Your place had everything we needed. If I had my own cottage I would probably decorate the same way. It felt like I was at home. We stayed in for most of our meals which afforded us to go wine tasting and buy a few bottles of delicious wine. It was so quiet and comfortable. When people ask where we stayed in Sonoma you will be at the top of my list. Thank you for all the little goodies....You have made the experience very easy to work with and your attention to detail did not go unnoticed. Hope to visit again in the future.

                        We had a great stay and I only regret that we couldn't stay longer. I loved the deck with lounge chairs, table, umbrella and what a wonderful surprise to see we had our own chiminea which we did use. Also loved the yummy fig soap and lotion. Also enjoyed biking to Buena Vista Winery. I will use the rest of the fig lotion and shower gel and think of our trip until I am able to visit again.

                      Year Purchased: 2000

                      About the owner: To begin with, we'd like to introduce ourselves as proud residences and entrepreneurs in Sonoma. We are passionate about the beauty of the area, the kindness of the people, and the exquisite elements produced in Sonoma that make the quality of life here so wonderful. We bring that passion into the businesses we have created: Sonoma's Best Guest Cottages, and the adjoining store, Sonoma's Best. Both of these ventures have been labors of love, and we emphasize both of those words! When we purchased the properties, they were in a serious state of disrepair, but we saw huge potential. The store was a time-worn building built in 1913 that had operated for decades as the Von Sydow Deli. Both the store and the 4 cottages required extensive work, and we spent four years restoring them and creating a place of beauty, tranquility, and taste. In February 2007, the cottages were selected by Sunset magazine as one of the top 10 most romantic getaways in the West, including Hawaii, and there's good reason why. Each cottage has a living room, bedroom and fully-equipped kitchen with every appliance necessary to enjoy creating delicacies with fresh local products -- your own gourmet experience at your fingertips. Each cottage sits behind its own Provence wall, has its own gas BBQ grill, 2 bicycles and shares the use of a lovely garden with a fountain and rose beds. And all of the cottages sit behind an electric gate, providing guests with total privacy and security. The old-fashioned landmark store, Sonoma's Best, which sits in the front of the cottage retreat property, offers food products for which the County of Sonoma is famous - artisan cheeses, charcuterie, wine , salads and soups, sandwiches, pastries and gelato - along with exquisite Blue Bottle Coffee. Much of our life experiences has afforded us the opportunity to fine-tune our sense of quality & taste, translating that and hard work into successful businesses. We hope to welcome you our special property!
