Beautiful peaceful cottage. Great host.
This was our first time at this cottage. We were were wanting a romantic place for our 33rd anniversary and this was exactly what we were looking for. Quiet peaceful cottage. The spa was a perfect temperature. It was relaxing around the outside fireplace while grilling. Couldn't ask for better hosts. the cottage was clean and fully supplied with more then we expected. Close to many activities. We hope to come back.
A wonderful room in the heart of CA wine country
This little cottage has to be one of the best places to stay in either wine valley in California. Being located in between both Napa and Sonoma valleys you'll have easy access to anywhere you'd want to stay! The owner is absolutely wonderful and has a wealth of knowledge about so much in the area.
The cottage is outfitted with anything you can think of needed, and a number of things you didn't think of. It's just the right size for a romantic getaway and is impeccably maintained! The whole property is absolutely stunning and is all very welcoming and homey. The hot tub is also a fantastic addition to an already amazing place.
On top of the wonderful cottage the location is minutes from the center of Kenwood, a short drive or bike ride from a number of easily accessible wineries, and a short drive to Napa, Sonoma, Santa Rosa and the rest of the valleys.
I can't recommend Bev and this little cottage enough!
A Beautiful Retreat
My husband and I had the pleasure to stay at Acorn Cottage this weekend. It is truly a wonderful experience. The location is perfect, close to all the wineries and Glen Ellen Market and restaurants. The place itself is secluded behind a gate, entered after driving for a minute or two on a private drive, away from the crowd and traffic. Surrounded by ancient trees, flower garden and vinyard, it's absolutely trinquil and quiet. The cottage is well designed and furnished, super clean and comfortable. Upon our arrival, there were fruits, home made zucchini bread and a bottle of wine waiting. We enjoyed the outdoor hothub, swimming pool, fire pit and grill, all to ourselves. Beth and Jerry are friendly, thoughtful and gracious hosts. We barely see them but they are super responsive when we have any questions. We love this place and will definitely come back!
Perfect Getaway
Talk about an amazing vacation. My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary as well as celebrating finishing medical training. As we pulled into the home we were greeted by Beverly who then helped us with what ever we needed. As we stepped into the beautiful cottage we were greeted by Beverly's amazing banana bread and a fantastic bottle of wine. The bed linens and towels all perfectly clean. My husband and I enjoyed the robes and flip flops as we used the private and relaxing jacuzzi. They also have a beautiful pool to dip in as well which was nice on a hot day. I can't wait to send my parents to the acorn house and to return myself! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway! Thank you Beverly and Jerry for a wonderful week!
Gem Found in Sonoma Valley!!!!
My wife and I celebrated our 38th anniversary at the Acorn Cottage. Could not have had a more romantic weekend, perfectly hosted by Bev and Jerry. The grounds are picturesque and the seclusion was wonderful. The house is outfitted with everything you need, down to the flip flops and bathrobes. We had breakfast each morning and wine each evening out on the deck, sandwiched between the grape vines. During the days we went Healdsburg's direction one day and Sonoma's the next. Had a wonderful dinner at nearby Glen Ellen Inn, suggested by Bev. We will return to this gem again and again and again!!!!!
Perfect
I know a thing or two about secrets and this has got to be one of the areas best kept secret, but tell anybody.😁
