Retro Retreat: Cozy, Moderne, Affordable House in Wine Country.

3 bdrm, 2.5 bath for the price of 2 bdrm 1 bath rental!! We are offer low prices. We would rather book more nights at low rates than fewer nights at higher rates.

The Retro Retreat is a fabulous little house built in 1951 and recently updated for comfort and convenience with central heat and A/C. It is centrally located in a very quiet neighborhood just north of the town of Sonoma, with easy access to highway 12. We have an updated kitchen with new cabinets, appliances and granite counter tops.

The main living room, kitchen and dining area is open, providing an extra large space for entertaining and relaxing with family and friends. A great space for celebrating holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, or just long weekends! One entire wall of the living room, dinning and kitchen area is glass, looking out on a covered patio and large back yard. The floor plan is ideal for two couples or a family. Two bedrooms, a full and half bath are in one wing of the house, another bedroom and full bath are in the other. The living room, dining area and kitchen are in the center of the house, providing complete privacy between the two wings.

The Retro Retreat is just minutes from the Sonoma Plaza (2.4 miles) for shopping and dining experiences, and within walking distance of the world famous Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa. In just a few minutes, heading North on highway 12, you will visit dozens of the best wineries California has to offer.

If you want to stay in after a day of wine tasting, dinner is a snap with provisions from Whole Foods or Sonoma Market. In addition to the new kitchen, there is a BBQ, dining table, chairs and lounge seating on the covered patio. Plus, staying at the Retro Retreat is a great way to save your $$, so you can splurge all that much more on Sonoma’s fine wines and dinning.
When you book with us, let us know if you like red or white, so we can greet you with a bottle of one of our favorite Sonoma wines.

Cool Patio

This is in a great location for visiting the wineries in Sonoma and Napa. Really nice patio for enjoying coffee in the mornings and wine late in the evenings.. Decor is somewhat dated but f9ts in with a 1950's cottage. The beds are queen size and noisy when turning over during the night.

Don't overlook this property!

The owners are very honest in their description of this house. While they use "retro", I would use "dated", but it is still a great value for the area. It was the perfect size for 4 adults and the extra bathroom was great. The house was VERY clean and in a great location. The neighborhood felt very safe and was super quiet, even during 4th of July week. Very close to downtown Sonoma, with a fun ice cream store and a great coffee house (Barking Dog) just down the hill. The owners left a binder with tons of useful info. There are also board games and a gift of a bottle of excellent wine. The outside space was a bonus; we spent most evenings out there with wine and charcuterie. It was so pleasant. I would definitely come back - highly recommend!

This home is in a perfect location for morning walks. It is centrally located in the wine country. The house and yard are lovely. The kitchen has every dish, spice and pan you could want. The best feature is the home was easy for my elderly mother to get in and out of and move around in. She was able to move about the whole house with her walker.
