Myself and friends came out from Canada for a "girls" weekend of wine tasting and connection and we couldn't have found a more magical and gorgeous place.
The place was clean, kitchen was a dream to work in, beds were super comfortable, and the view/access to nature can't be beat.
Communication and check in was easy. Can't recommend enough.
A sweet and relaxing retreat -- perfect for extended family vacation (pool, bikes, dreamy kitchen)

This cottage rental is everything you need for a relaxed and comfortable getaway to the beautiful Sonoma valley. A couple of blocks from the creek trail, we were able to safely bike (with 5 and 7 year olds) everywhere we wanted to go: into town, to the base of the mountain ridge trails, to parks for the kids, the Lodge Resort up the street for the adults, restaurants, Train Town (the kids were crazy about Train Town!), vineyards. I don't want to rave too much about Sonoma because I want it to stay as quaint and friendly as it is. Don't tell too many people. A huge standout of this rental: the host could not have been more accommodating, accessible, or organized (and kind!). Part of the reason we chose this rental was Mark's quick responses from my first inquiry, his knowledge of the place, his eagerness to assist and advise. It felt like we were staying at a friend's place, and he cared about out experience. This mattered a lot. Also, the beds are comfortable with enviably soft sheets and cozy pillows and comforters. There were enough bikes there for all of us, and the pool in the back yard with sun shining down and birdsong in the air was the perfect, private respite. Another highlight: roomy indoor and outdoor dining spaces, barbeque, a kitchen so well designed and situated we were all wanting to make coffee, breakfast and dinner. We stayed in Sonoma at this sweet and relaxing retreat for a week, and it went by too fast. Thank you, Mark, for your hospitality and welcome.
We really enjoyed our stay in Sonoma. Jim and Diana were great hosts and helped us plan some of our days with their recommendations. Location was convenient to all the venues that we attended. Thank you for a wonderful trip.
A very romantic and peaceful setting.
After one night it felt like our own home away from home.
Hosts fine gentlemen.
The local Deers paid a visit every morning outside our window. Stars at night.
