Cheerful Cottage on Petaluma River near Wine Country & San Francisco

We just loved it! We had a wonderful stay and will highly recommend. We hope very much to be back! Thank you for such a great time!

This was an awesome experience beautiful property and owners were awesome and touch of chocolate bar can’t be overlooked 😂

Myself, my wife and our 4 year-old son rented this lovely home for the weekend. We were up in Sonoma County for a wedding and found this home to be a lovely and peaceful environment to come back to. The view from the kitchen alone, is amazing. My son and I watched as barge was pushed up river, the sunrises in the mornings are breathtaking, and it was so tranquil. The bed was comfortable and our son loved the pull couch. I think that had more to do with the fact his bed disappeared and reappeared than anything else. The best part is that the house is close to all of Sonoma and Marin, but far away enough that you don't feel stuck. We look forward to staying again in the future.

I recently stayed here while attending an event at Sonoma Raceway. It was great. The house is clean, well appointed and comfortable. I loved the sunrise views through the kitchen window. I met my host on arrival, and she was so kind and gracious. I really felt welcomed. Traffic on 37 can get pretty backed up, but where I was, I was traveling against it going to and from Sonoma each day, so it wasn’t an issue. Access to Novato and its shops and restaurants was easy using Atherton Avenue. Be aware though, the only access is down a steep drive that you can’t drive a car down. If you can’t handle hills or stairs, or if you have heavy luggage, you may want to know this. It didn’t bother me; I enjoyed the workout. I would stay here again, and I am glad we chose this place.

A casual but well maintained, relaxing retreat. The kitchen view is a joy to wake up to every morning. We will return!
