The most relaxing vacation EVER!

We stayed there around the X'mas time, we arrived late at around 7 pm at night, at first we had a hard time to find the cottage since it was so dark in the mountain and secluded. We were kinda worried at first since it's our first rental experience. However, once we got into the cottage, it was so lovely and cozy. The balcony is facing the forest and city, it is so scenic! The bed is very comfortable, the bathroom is clean; however, my husband complained a little bit about the smell on the towel, but nothing big! We stayed in at nights for 2 nights and cook, part of the reason is the road is very steep, and narrow and it's hard to see at nights. Other than that, I have nothing to complain, it's nearly perfect!! I do feel kinda pity that we don't have the chance to use the hot tub. Maybe next time!!

The Glen Elen area wasn't my first choice for this trip, however when I saw this property I decided to give it a try. So I'm driving up the amusement ride that is Trinity Rd, and turn into the drive which is just as interesting and I come upon the cottage. That's with the smiling, giggling and outright laughing started. I just kept saying outloud (to myself mind you) "are you kidding me?" If there is a better one-bedroom rental cotage in Sonoma County, I'd like to see it. Especially when you add the nightly rate. The views are crazy good from the pool area, the deck off the living room and the bedroom. Inside the place is clean, updated and sooo comfortable. Kitchen is terrific, bathroom is nice and the TV is excellent. Also, there is a great market in Glen Elen (the one accross the bridge). I do have one note to keep in mind, that is the drive from 12 to the cottage; at times is can be a challenge. But the pay-off is well worth it. Can't wait to go back!

What a wonderful place. The cottage was very up-to-date and had everything we needed and more, including a beautiful view of the valley. Too bad it was a little too cool outside to use the great pool, but we did get some use out of the hot tub. I would recommend to anyone.

We loved every minute. The privacy, the views, the charm were perfect. The sunsets were stupendous. We loved the pool and ate dinner at the cottage 5 nights out of 6. We didn't want to leave.

We have stayed at this lovely cottage over looking the Sonoma Valley a few times before and just finished another great week to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday. We discovered this little gem a few years ago and since then have only missed booking one year. It is nestled up in the hills over looking the valley where the sunsets are amazing. Add the infinity pool, hot tub, pool deck, chirping of the birds and the resident deer, this place has all the makings for a great romantic getaway. We enjoyed 2 days of the Sonoma Valley Hidden Gems weekend and various other wineries with 10 minutes of the cottage. We are already planning our next trip!

The photos on this site do not do this property justice . . . it is so well maintained and in such a beautiful area. The pool and spa are fantastic! The cottage is a great size for two people and the kitchen is perfectly equipped for gourmet meals. I have already recommended this rental to my friends and I will continue to recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet romantic getaway in the wine country.
