Wine, relaxation, and a cozy fire

We had a great stay again. Just know that the bedroom and kitchen are separate but connected by a breezeway. For us, this is ideal, as I get up early to work, and my wife likes to wake up slowly with a cup of coffee, eventually. The magic is at night, when you get back and build a little fire in the chiminea, open a bottle of wine and watch the sun set.

Wonderful getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful and relaxing property. The cottage had everything that we needed. We drank our coffee while watching the deer in the backyard and walked downtown almost every day via the nearby bike path. Sonoma is a beautiful place and we took advantage of this property’s location to visit many of the highlights of the Sonoma and Napa Valleys including wineries, fine dining, hiking and state forests..

A perfect Sonoma hideaway

My wife and I spent three nights in Sonoma at this detached cottage. The place was very private and quiet in a nice neighborhood on the outskirts. Sleeping was very comfortable, we cooked breakfast before the adventures of the day. Relaxing patio. Easy drive to nearby wine country spots including Healdsberg, Napa and Yountville. Owners were warm and gave great recommendations.

Sonoma Getaway

First time visit to Sonoma area for both me and my friend. We were thrilled to find this great place to stay, a gem of a hidden cottage behind the main house. Jim (and his smiley grand-daughter) gave us a friendly welcome and some tips for walking trail into town and where to find a coffeeshop. This clean, comfortable and tranquil setting is so much closer to town than we expected, and the jasmine on the breezeway completed an idyllic stay. I would love to come again!

Peaceful Location

This back house was perfect! The location is about 1.5 miles to Sonoma Square. We enjoyed wine tasting and restaurants in town and would retire to this peaceful location in the evenings. There is a market two minutes drive right around the corner. The bed is super comfy! We really enjoyed sipping wine on the private patio. Thanks for a great stay.

Wonderful wine country getaway

Jim was a great host! His property is stunning, and the cottage is quintessential rustic wine country. Close to downtown Sonoma, and with easy access to Hwy 121 so as to visit Napa, Petaluma, and the San Francisco Bay Area, it is the perfect location for that special getaway. I highly recommend this vrbo. Thanks Jim and Diana, Leslie

Nice, comfortable home close to downtown Sonoma.

This is a nice guest house close to everything but still very isolated and quiet. We found it a bit awkward to have the bedroom seperated from the kitchen-living/dining room combination, but quickly overcame that. We were very comfortable here and would certainly stay again.

Thank you, Jim, for making our stay at your beautiful cottage one of our most memorable vacations. Everything was perfect- from the ambiance, peaceful surroundings, cleanliness, accessibility to downtown Sonoma and Napa, and your hospitality. We could not have asked for anything more.

Why they chose this property

We joyfully lived in Casa de Luna for a year, while our new home was being built. This unique and coveted location is only a 15-minute walk, 5-minute bike ride and 1/2-mile drive to downtown Sonoma Square. It is quiet, peaceful and has everything you need to live for a month or a lifetime.
Behind the cottage, there are mountain and meadow views, surrounded by flower gardens, olive and fruit trees, starry skies and full moons. A serene country setting, for both friends and family, for an ideal getaway.

What makes this property unique

The Casa de Luna is a specially crafted cottage, situated on one acre and located in the heart of the city of Sonoma. The exclusive cottage offers designer style living in 840 square feet, with field and mountain views from a beautiful patio in the rear. Casa de Luna cottage consists of two major buildings, connected by a breezeway. The cottage is located in the rear of our property with complete privacy and security. Parking is next to the cottage. With only 1/2 mile or 15-minute walk, the cottage is next to the bike path for easy access to restaurants, wineries and the Town Square.
It is also an easy driving distance to some of the most scenic areas of the country...San Francisco (45 minutes), the North coast of Mendocino (one hour), Lake Tahoe (3 hours) and Yosemite (3 hours).
