                        This is a wonderful place to stay in the wine region. We could walk to the Sonoma Square where there are good restaurants and wine tasting. I've been to Napa and Sonoma many times and this is by far the best way to do such a visit. The house is cute and the patio in the back is wonderful for outdoor eating. The manger Bob was helpful and everything was clean and well maintained. We rent VRBO properties on all our travels and have always had a good experience. Highly recommend this place.

                        This cottage is absolutely gorgeous! We stayed here for 3 nights as we were getting married in Sonoma & we couldn't have picked a more beautiful place to stay. The gardens are immaculate and stunning, the cottage has all the amenities you could ever need and is beautifully decorated throughout. It was also extremely clean, spacious and comfortable and the garden cottage was an extra bonus. You cannot go wrong if you book this place! Thanks for an amazing stay!

                        My son got married in Sonoma at Viansa Winery on August 4th. My family was fortunate enough to stay in the beautiful Farmhouse, and my wife and I stayed in the lovely cottage. However, the back yard, with its grape vines, landscaping, flowers, and Tuscan ambience was a truly wonderful environment to sit outside with the family, enjoying a glass of wine and taking in the marvelous surroundings. What even made it better was that the rehearsal dinner was just a long block away at Ramikin's Cooking School, and the Sonoma Square was a 3 minute stroll. If you are ever considering a stay in Sonoma, I highly recommend this historic Farmhouse! My whole family (of 6) had a memorable experience during our 4-day stay. You just can't compare this to staying in a hotel room; I will return to the Sonoma Farmhouse, hopefully in the near future when my newly married son and his wife bless us with a grandchild. Thank you again!

                        Six best friends from high school stayed at the Farmhouse and Cottage to attend my son's wedding. Upon arrival, we all immediately agreed a return trip of a week's length is desired...the accommodations are just terrific! Tastefully decorated, charming, well-kept, spacious and private describe this property and Sonoma is such a fine area to visit. A huge thank you for the experience and I highly recommend the wonderful Sonoma Farmhouse and Cottage!!!!

                        I rented the Sonoma farmhouse for our annual friends weekend and it was perfect. Only a few blocks from downtown so we walked to dinner and rode our bikes to nearby wineries. There is a wholefoods and safeway with in 1 block. The pictures dont do it justice. The house was very cutely decorated and clean and the yard was breathtaking. We all wanted to move in. Bob was very great to work with and we will all recommed the house to friends and family.

Did I mention the gorgeous and expansive gardens and privacy? Oh yes...what about that hot tub that overlooks your own private vineyard? Did I mention the downtown location?
