This place is perfect- if I could give it six stars out of five I would. The most fully equiped and stocked rental we've ever stayed in. Beautiful kitchen, comfortable bed, bath and living room were great. We'll be back!

The description of the property led me to believe that the place is small, which it isn't. The bedroom is somewhat small but the overall rooms and sizes were quite adequate. Therefore words like cozy, charming and cottage isn't accurate and should change. I also found the decorating was overdone to the point of cluttered - but to be fair my wife liked it.

Fabulous cottage, fabulous location

We enjoyed this lovely home during our stay in Petaluma. It was comfortable, convenient, quiet and very clean. We especially enjoyed the kitchen and the outdoor seating. It was an easy stroll from the Petaluma Market and all the restaurants and shops downtown.

This is a lovely cottage that is very close to downtown Petaluma. We enjoyed walking to town a couple of different times. The cottage is clean and beautiful and very charming.

Beautiful home! Super close to town, owners respond very quickly regarding any questions. 10/10 would recommend, might be returning at some point. One thing I was unaware of was the owner living upstairs, but that wasn’t an issue! Thanks for the amazing stay!

Very comfortable!

We had a very comfortable stay of several days at this property. The large kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could want. The bedroom and living room are quite roomy. Great location just a few minutes from Petaluma Market and the Bagel Mill. Highly recommended!

Romantic Hideaway

Lovely homey and comfortable. Just perfect for two. This was our 3rd or 4th time here. You can walk downtown, visiting the shops and restaurants or stop at Petaluma Market and pick up everything you need to cook a meal in the great kitchen. We will keep coming back as long as Fiona keeps renting.

Perfect

This is a warm, comfortable, welcoming abode. We have stayed at quite a number of VRBOs, but this was by far our favorite. From the cottage-y feel, to the eclectic and interesting decor (my favorite was the penguin amongst the ducks) to the easy communication with the owner and the cleanliness and comfort of the furnishings to the proximity of "downtown Petaluma" and all else Sonoma county has to offer, we recommend this spot!

Walk to downtown restaurants

Positives: Loved the house and was already familiar with the neighborhood. Fiona was friendly and easy to get ahold of, talk to, and get help from. This place worked very well for our trip. We wanted to be near our favorite Petaluma restaurants and we enjoyed being able to walk to them. We were also close to all the activities we wanted to pursue. Not negative but less positive: Even though there is a high backyard fence that blocks the view in, I personally would prefer to be able to cover the back kitchen windows at night. Also, would have preferred to have off-street parking, although parking on-street was not difficult.

Misrepresented listing, not a stand alone cottage - owner lives upstairs

I didn't end up staying and left immediately after entering. This "cottage" is listed as an entire home. It is an aparment, not a stand alone cottage. The host/owner shares the front door and lives in an upstairs unit. In addition the back patio was not clean or set up to actually use. (note: it had not rained in many days). Also note, the neighborhood is not as it appears in the map. It's on a busy street. I'm in the process of dealing with VRBO for a full refund. Had I known the status, I would have booked somewhere else.

Response from VrboOwner on Jan 22, 2025
Nowhere in the description does it imply that it’s a stand alone cottage, it is described and depicted accurately. I have had many glowing reviews from satisfied guests over the years. I am a super host on Airbnb for 6/7 years and have lots of return guests. Within walking distance to historic downtown, the cottage is set back and the street is not particularly busy.
