  • This cottage and property are an amazing find. Idyllic was the word that kept coming to us all week. The horses, the pond, the hammock- everything about the cottage and hosts were cozy and friendly. We would absolutely recommend and hope to return someday!

  • I can't believe it's taken me this long to comment on Alder Mews! My fiancé chose this spot to propose to me almost two years back, and it truly could not have been better. Our hosts were beyond gracious, setting up an idyllic spot by the pond for him to propose, with a lovely bottle of champagne, rose and chocolates. How could I say no to that?! The guest house and its amenities were more than we could've hoped for for such an important time in our life, and we look forward to returning...maybe for our one year wedding anniversary this fall! Thanks again for making it so very special. Melissa + John Reitano p.s. So great, too, that our dog was able to be there with us -- fetching a stick by the pond while we sipped our champagne!

  • This is such a wonderful, restful and serene place in the country. The unit was very comfortable, and the refrigerator even had yogurt and fruit to tempt us. It was wonderful and relaxing, and we plan to return. Nice hosts, and sweet dogs.

  • We were looking for something convenient and never expected anything this wonderful when we booked this perfect cottage in the woods. It is just 10 minutes from the delights of Sonoma and the wineries but sits on 26 private acres of forest primeval. When we tired of tourist attractions, we wandered up and down hills under the copious green shade of ancient moss-covered bay and oak trees. All was utter peace and quiet punctuated with calls of wild turkeys, chattering of squirrels and whinnies of the stabled horses. What a wonderful refuge--new and charming with a fully stocked refrigerator, home made scones and all the modern amenities one could wish for. We'll definitely be back!

  • What a delightful place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciated the little touches like finding wine and cheese in our refrigerator. Our hosts made us feel very welcome. We felt as if we had known them for years. This is truly the place to stay in Sonoma

  • My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and we will definitely be re-visiting Alder Mews on future trips to the wine country. The cottage is delightfully and tastefully furnished, with all the expected amenities and more. There were some very nice touches --like homemade scones in the morning and bottle of wine waiting for us when we checked in. We particularly liked being away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown square (though still a quick drive into town to some great restaurants). The setting is quiet and serene, and we loved watching the wild geese fly into the pond, and our wonderful walks through the oaks and rolling hills. This was a memorable, relaxing getaway...thank you!

  • What a breath taking place! I loved waking up in shear privacy looking through an oak grove straight from my bed! My husband was thrilled to take a walk at sunrise to the pond with a cup of coffee to watch the wild geese. The hosts were so gracious and generous with their hospitality...offering homemade scones the first morning! The place is immaculate, spacious, elegantly designed, very private and only ten minutes from the plaza! I will return again and again!

  • Alder Mews was the perfect place to stay in Wine Country. Close to the Sonoma town plaza (5-10 minutes), but just far enough away that you get beautiful country vistas, solitude and quiet as well. Welcoming personal touches like fresh-baked scones, a fridge stocked with goodies and a delicious bottle of wine also await your arrival. The owners, Karen and Pieter, locals for 30+ years, are very concerned that you have what you need to have the best vacation possible - directions, information on local wineries and restaurants, as well as the "inside local scoop" on the sites that you may not get anyplace else. Overall, great place, great time and would stay here again.
