This is a great place to stay. It has all of the amenities and the host was friendly and helpful.There isn't much in the way of seating in the living room, but considering the patio and garden, i don't know why you would spend time inside!

Amazing

Very well kept and nice property. The hosts had recommendations for everything. There is a really good carnaceria on the corner. Super close to everything the Valley has to offer and a hop skip to either Napa or the Coast. Definitely, would stay again.

Sonoma garden cottage

The owner was extremely helpful and welcoming. The cottage set in the hosts’ lovely garden is charming with interesting art/artistic touches and vintage furnishings making it cozy and welcoming. The kitchen, which I used a lot, is fully equipped. Even though I spent most of my time in Napa with friends, I much prefer Sonoma’s more laid back style. So this was heaven for me.

My fiancé and I loved our stay here. The cottage is supplied with everything that youd need for your stay, plus there's a small market minutes away for food and whatnot. The garden is spectacular and his book was a great read. We wil keep this in our favorites for any future Sonoma trips.

Anniversary Celebrations

We were in the area to celebrate a 50th and 25th wedding anniversaries. This was a quiet, clean very nice place to stay. It’s centrally located in the wine country near Sonoma and Napa. Lance, our host, was very helpful with restaurants and wineries. We would definitely stay there again. Lovely deck in garden setting for sipping wine.

Wonderful retreat!!

We stayed four nights and thoroughly enjoyed this clean, comfortable, quiet cottage! Hosts thought of everything!! There was nothing that we were missing and everything conveniently located. Many special touches, and the garden is absolutely beautiful. We traveled to Napa daily and was very nice to stay away from the traffic and activity. Hosts, Lance and Sandy, were absolutely fantastic. I own several vacation homes myself and only hope that my guests are this happy!!

Best Location for Everything Sonoma

The bungalow is perfectly located, close to downtown Sonoma, shopping, and the wineries within the surrounding areas. It was well appointed with everything we needed, coffee was amazing. The host is very welcoming and informative. All the restaurants that were suggested came with a tasteful experience. The host was very caring and a delight to visit with. We will be returning next year. Thank you for making our visit special!!!

Lovely cottage; beautiful garden; friendly hosts

This is a free-standing, one bedroom cottage next to the owner's home. The cottage has a nice bathroom, fairly large living room/dining room/kitchen area, and a separate bedroom with a queen bed. A window AC unit cooled the place down fairly quickly on an unusually hot weekend. The garden is clearly a labor of love and is really beautiful. Parking was convenient in their driveway and we could walk to several food trucks and restaurants and a grocery. The hosts were fantastic and interesting people!

Excellent Stay

The cottage is clean, quiet, and very comfortable. Lance was a great host we had the chance to talk to him a couple of times as he lives on the property. We got there very late and went right into the cottage and he wasn’t sure we made it so he called late at night to be sure we made it. We should’ve advised him we were there, but we didn’t want to bother him that late. Really appreciated his concern.

Sonoma stay

Cottage was spotless. Our host Lance was great and even invited us to share a glass of his homemade wine. Not your usual homemade he had 20 years experience making wines in Sonoma. Location was great. Quick access to many vineyards and 40 minute drive to Napa. Loved our visit. One note when driving to Napa GPS may suggest crossing the mountains using local roads. They were harrowing. One called Trinity Road must be named that because you find your self praying to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

About the host

Hosted by lance cutler

Host profile image
My wife and I have lived in Sonoma for more than 45 years. For most of that time I was a working winemaker, and my wife ran a tasting room. We love cooking, eating, and the wine country lifestyle in general. Our home is renowned throughout the industry as a mecca for hospitality.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Sonoma during a visit in 1976. By 1977 we had moved here and the next year I began a career in the wine business. After renting a small cottage for 23 years, my wife and I decided to build our own home. We built the main house in 2000, and the guest cottage in 2001. My wife has planted and maintains a stunning garden on the property. In short, this is a great spot in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country that we have built with our own hands. (For more info, check out winepatrol.com)

What makes this property unique

First off the property sits in a real, rustic neighborhood. It's not screened off by metal fences and high walls. Just blocks from the Sonoma Mission Inn, several restaurants and five burrito wagons, you'll be centrally located to start your exploration of Wine Country.
