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.
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.😁
We can't wait to go back!
My wife and I recently had the nicest vacation in wine country and it all started with this perfect rental cottage. From the moment we drove through the front entrance past the fountain and made our way in the front door, Acorn Cottage exceeded all our expectations. It was beautifully appointed with absolutely everything we needed inside and out. We pulled Adirondack chairs up to the outdoor fire pit the first night, and enjoyed the private hot tub under the stars on a few other nights – all surrounded by gardens, vineyards and an ancient oak. It was magical. It was the perfect location to explore wine country from while avoiding the crowds. Kenwood itself had a lot to offer, with wineries within walking distance and fine restaurants nearby. There are also state and regional parks close by to have a picnic or take a hike to enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Bev and Jerry were the perfect hosts. We left wishing we’d had more time with them, and so, we’re going back!
Absolutely stunning!
My husband and I stayed at the Acorn cottage for New Year's Eve weekend. We felt so at home, not only because of the beautiful property and cottage, but because Bev and Jerry are simply the best! We enjoyed relaxing inside and outside of the cottage as well as the hot tub. This by far has been the best experience we've had (and we've been traveling here for 12 years)! It was a wonderful way to ring in 2017! We will definitely be back:)
