Comfortable Two Bedroom Two Bath shingled cottage in the West Sonoma wine region
(FYI the monthly rate calculated by this website may not be accurate. Please inquire)
Set well back from the road on 4.5 acres...birds, hawks, owls, turkeys, deer, dragonflies, trees, lawns, flowers, grape arbor, wisteria, and, seasonally, apples, blackberries, and persimmons. The level walk-out from the living room to the patio and garden provides comfortable,private in and outdoor living during spring, summer and fall. The winters are cozy too with the wood burning fireplace and a sofa bed in the living room. We recently added a zoned mini-split heating/AC system to improve comfort summer and winter.
Our place is not luxury but very comfortable for a relaxed vacation. It is perfect for two couples and people with children. The two bedrooms are on opposite sides of the hallway and each has a queen bed. One has a private full bath with a European style clawfoot tub and hand held shower. The other bath has a stall shower. The living room has a double sofa bed. We have a paknplay and plenty of toys for the under 8 crowd. The backyard, though unfenced, is well defined and excellent for play. There are two acres of woods on the hillside. Our formal dining area seats six easily with immediate access to the shady backyard. The Kitchen is fully equipped and has stainless steel appliances including an induction range, dishwasher, refrigerator. The private back yard of the house has a trellised patio, a lawn area,and steps to the upper acres. It is great for viewing birds and other wildlife. It is often chilly in the evening so bring a jacket to enjoy our deck. Our garden has paths with pretty flowers in the spring and summer. Don't forget to check out the stone waterway at the south end of the property. In summer it feels like a different climate- a nice cool place to relax on hot days. An extra pair of flat shoes are a good idea for walking on the gravel paths. This property was named Owl Hill because the owls will call back and forth to each other from the tree tops. Approximately 20 minutes to Bodega Bay. Less than 10 minutes to the town of Freestone, Osmosis Spa, and Wild Flour Bakery and within minutes to some of the best West Sonoma County wineries. We try to offer a great value both in and out of season. Check out our off season and long term rates. We have had several monthly guests in the last few years. An easy house to "settle in". We are a Bay Area family, grandparents of three families each with two kids. All of us enjoy this vacation home when we can get away. Not luxury but very comfortable for a relaxed vacation. The cottage shares a driveway with caretaker unit that is downhill and facing away from the vacation rental.

Lovely garden and deck to sit with pretty lights to sit at night. Beds were very comfortable and good location near Sebastopol. Great quick check in and reaponsive property manager.
The home was exactly as described on VRBO. We had one question for the host and she responded and answered. She even offered earlier check in and later departure which was nice. Home was located near activities we were visiting. Saw the wild turkeys! Enjoyed our stay.
The Owl Hill Cottage was the perfect spot for a winter getaway. We loved the cozy fireplace and seeing deer in the yard. Close to conveniences, yet feels very secluded.

So glad you enjoyed your stay. Thanks for taking time to review. We hope you will find a time to return.
This cottage is secluded and comfortable. Just minutes away from Sebastapol, you feel as though you've escaped to your own private hideaway. Highly recommended.
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The place was clean and set up well for our stay. It was easy to communicate with owner and she was very helpful when we were making our plans. Overall, it was the perfect get away spot for us.

Thanks for your nice review, Laurie. It's always great to know you enjoyed our cottage and I hope you will return
My husband and I lived in Occidental for at least 50 years before moving out of state for business. So when our niece was getting married in Santa Rosa, we needed a place to stay with my daughter and her husband. I found Owl Hill on line @ VRBO. It is so comfortable, casual, fully equipped, very private and lives bigger than the square feet advertised. The two bedrooms are at opposite ends so very private. Highly recommend.
We were two couples who were looking for a relaxing getaway near wine country and were so excited to find this cottage. It's surrounded by beautiful, shaded landscape and we loved that we felt like we were camping, but with the luxury of having a cozy house to sleep in! We loved seeing the deer and wildlife every morning.Our beds were comfy and the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained and there was plenty of room for the four of us. The location was great and we enjoyed exploring wine country and then coming back to our retreat. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in nature!
We enjoyed this lovely property. It was clean and had everything we needed for our comfort. The location is excellent to reach Sebastopol or Occidental, many wineries and spas. This was the perfect place for our ladies getaway. We hope to return!!
We are a Bay Area family,grandparents of three families each with two kids. All of us enjoy this vacation home when we can get away. Not luxury but very comfortable for a relaxed vacation.
Why they chose this property
We bought this home to be close to wineries, hiking and ocean but also for the beautiful gardens and trails that are on the property. While the home has been updated, it is still casual and comfortable. We enjoy having our grandchildren visit and they enjoy it too.
