Romantic Retreat in Wine Country near the Russian River and Coast
Sunrise Ridge Retreat is the guest house on an extraordinary estate of lush organic gardens and lavender fields. Please see our website for pictures and details of this incredible property. It is in Sonoma County’s Russian River Wine Country adjacent to a 100 acre vineyard and minutes from the Sonoma Coast. The cottage offers comfort and privacy with sweeping views of vineyards, redwood forests and Mt. St. Helena. We are located in the coastal hills a few miles from the hamlet of Occidental just over sixty miles north of San Francisco. It is centrally located just minutes from the spectacular Sonoma Coast, the Russian River recreational area and the world renowned Osmosis Spa. Just 10 miles west of Santa Rosa the area offers redwood forests, the Sonoma Coast and world class restaurants all in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country.
Come stay in our newly built spacious (830 sf) one bedroom, one bath house. Built of nontoxic and sustainable materials it is ideally suited for chemically sensitive individuals. It is located in the orchard and has panoramic views of west Sonoma County from every window. Watch the sun rise over Mount Saint Helen from the great room or the window seat in the bedroom. Sip a glass of wine on the private terrace while watching the reflected light of sunset on the rolling hills dotted with vineyards and redwoods. Soak in the hot tub on the terrace after a day of hiking or picnicking on the spectacular Sonoma Coast.
The retreat is a turn-key accommodation with a queen-size bed and queen sleeper sofa. Your stay includes complimentary local wine. Pick organic vegetables in the garden and apples, black berries and figs in season. We can arrange a massage in the cottage or on the terrace, a train ride and dinner while you cruise through wine country or a private tour of the neighboring vineyards. Of course you can just relax and read a book or hike or bike on local trails in this beautiful country setting.

Owner's Map of Sebastopol
My husband and I moved to Sonoma County in 2003 and build our house and guest house on this 7 acre estate in the Russian River wine appellation of Sonoma Wine Country. We are retired professors and environmental scientist who were looking for up scale country living with an optimal climate. Since then we have designed developed acres of bio dynamic gardens based upon ecologically sustainable practices of permaculture. We have found a piece of heaven and look forward to sharing it with you.

We are counting our blessings each day at Sunrise Ridge! The gardens -- the cottage warm with wood and works of art in spacious blue sky. It was the perfect complement to our singing workshop. Thanks for all,

What a marvelous retreat. From the warm warmth and serenity of the pale yellow walls to the lavender and rosemary lining the walks, this is truly an amazing place. The gardens are wonderful and the cottage charming. The window seat and insets are perfect. The views are gorgeous. Thank you so much for making our 10th anniversary getaway so memorable.
