We absolutely loved our stay at Amitabha Cottage! We were in town for our daughter's graduation from Sonoma State University, and the location couldn't have been more convenient—just a five-minute drive from campus.The cottage was comfortable, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for prepping some food for the barbecue at my daughter's house. One of our favorite touches was enjoying fresh eggs from the chicken coop each morning.The property itself is beautiful, surrounded by nature, majestic oak trees, and picturesque rolling hills. The grounds are impeccably maintained, with lovely fruit trees, fragrant lavender, and peaceful outdoor spaces that made our stay especially relaxing.We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. We look forward to returning on our next trip to Sonoma!
