My partner and I booked the Sage Hen for the holidays. The place was immaculate and looks exactly like the pictures, so you know just what you're getting. We loved sitting by the fire and being able to cook meals at home instead of going out to eat every night. It was also in close proximity to the freeway, wineries and beach. I would recommend this property to anyone that wants a stress free stay in a beautiful location.

We went to a wedding in Petaluma, it was only about 7 miles away. Couldn't have asked for a more comfortable place. It was a great experience for my family to stay on the property. We actually stayed in both units, the studio first while waiting for the main house to be vacated and cleaned from another guest. Both units were clean and had everything you needed!

Ron is easy-going and helpful, and the place is just what we needed. Two couples enjoying wine tasting and home cooking. The kitchen had everything we needed. I wish they had a gas grill, because I'm not an expert in using charcoals. Other than that, it was perfect.

Owner response:Glad you enjoyed your stay. We got that gas grill Steve.

My husband and I needed a place to stay en route to Davis in May. The property came highly recommended. The owners arrived shortly after we did and were hospitable in keeping us entertained while the house was being cleaned for our stay. Well worth the wait. After visiting a nearby grocery store we enjoyed a relaxed evening. Quiet like we do not experience in our suburban neighborhood. The next morning, arising early, I strolled the grounds. I came to the conclusion that the Sage Hen would be a great place to nurse a broken heart or write a book or just get away from it all. We took a relaxed car ride thru wine country. Beautiful. I would love to go back and would highly recommend this vacation getaway as a fine place to stay. Thanks, Ron and Brook!

The Sage Hen was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We had everything that we needed for our stay in the house. It was very comfortable for 2 couples and the location was great. The history of the house was very interesting, and of course the great wineries. Hope to return to Cotati and the Sage Hen soon.

We had a wedding to attend and so my husband, son and his friend stayed at the beautiful Sage Hen. The owner is located at the property and were very wonderful to all of us. The grounds are so gorgeous and the Lou Waters history is very fascinating. We would certainly come back again. It would be a great place to hold a family reunion, or a beautiful wedding. The location of it is quiet but extremely convenient. It's a real find and I can't wait to go and stay there again! Nancy Berry

An exceptional stay at the Sage Hen

My husband and I traveled with another couple to the Sonoma area for 5 days. We were looking for a home base where we could make our own breakfast and dinners, had separate bedrooms for each couple, 2 bathrooms, clean and comfortable. I became the hero of the group when I found the Sage Hen. The house was exactly what we wanted! The second bathroom not having a shower wasn't a problem for getting ready. Everything was impeccably clean. We thoroughly enjoyed using the well-equipped kitchen - there were even a few food staples left that we used (and we left some for others to use, as well). Both bedrooms were comfortable. The layout had great flow, the house was private and safe. Occasionally we saw other friendly guests on the property that gave us a wave. Although it was a bit of a drive to get to the places we were visiting it still felt central to so many areas. There were two entrances to the house, which was handy for bringing in groceries. We want to thank Ron for a wonderful stay and fabulous, quick & friendly communication in addressing any questions we had prior to our visit. We hope to visit again!

My son and grandaughter live in Rohnert Park. When visiting once I stayed at Sage Hen. I was a little apprehensive about staying alone so I visited the property and met the Owner. It was a very safe and secure setting and the owners were on-site but obscure. It felt good to know they were nearby. The location was perfect and the accomodations were above expectation. Beautiful kitchen and lovely grounds for children to playl Very peaceful and relaxing. I wanted to stay longer, return often and find a place just like this to retire. It is lovely. I cannot wait to return. This could be my home away but it is always rented! I guess everyone feels the same way.

We have stayed here and at the cottage several times. They are both extremely well appointed with everything necessary for a comfortable stay. The grounds are sweet with flowers and many bird feeders. Ron is a laid back, thoughtful host, never intrusive and always helpful. Centrally located for wine tasting, the coast and San Francisco day trips. We look forward to returning in the spring!

Wine Country Central, Clean and Close

The town of Cotati is quaint and I recommend making it over there. The Sage Hen was immaculate and the kitchen is fully furnished. The house has a nice open feel to it and our stay was so much better than previous hotel experiences. The grounds are well maintained, the barbeque picnic area came in handy and was clean. The front of the house has a nice covered porch and the front of the house faces away from other properties on the lot so you have privacy. The owners are nice, and available if you need them but keep to themselves. Everything was in excellent condition and we will deffinitely stay there again when in the area. The pictures are a very good representation of the house and property. The location is central to several different areas, we visited Napa one day, Healdsburg and Dry Creek Valley another day, and Geyerserville and north of Healdsburg the next. So location couldn't have been better.
