About this property

Simple, Serene Wine Country Retreat In Alexander Valley, Sonoma County

This architect-designed, cozy cottage on 4-acres in Alexander Valley welcomes you with sweeping views of vineyards and mountains. Clean lines combined with a soothing palette of locally-sourced materials evoke serenity and a sense of spaciousness. Constructed with care and deliberately sized to minimize carbon footprint, this modern
yet rustic cottage is ideal for couples or small families. Sleeps 2-4 people.

Another Excellent Stay

We have stayed here quite a few times and it never disappoints. Beautiful views in every direction. Although small the tiny house it has everything one needs. Geyserville with restaurants and tasting rooms are nearby. Needless to say, we look forward to our next visit.

Exactly what we wanted. So relaxing and a great location! We went to Napa, the coast, hiked the redwoods at Armstrong and hung out in Healdsburg and Geyserville. The house had everything we needed and Uma was super responsive. Loved it!!

Perfect wine country getaway!

Stay in the center of it all with an easy walk to tasting rooms or relax on the quaint deck surrounded by vineyards. This beautiful and immaculately clean VRBO is perfection. Communication with Uma was rapid and clear. I can’t say enough about how much we loved our stay!!

Glorious retreat in vineyard

We loved the solitude and glorious views out every window of this well appointed modern cabin. While small it did not feel like it. Just a walk to town and like cabin, Geyersville is quiet but has 2 incredible restaurants.

Beautiful getaway with a serene view

This property exceeded our expectations. Very clean, beautiful new home with tons of natural light. The views over the vines toward the mountains is amazing. It’s a great place to retreat from the city or to enjoy Geyserville and Sonoma Co. at your own pace.

Beautiful Vineyard Cottage

The pictures don't do this place justice - its light and bright and right in the middle of a vineyard. Grapes on all sides of you. The cottage is well appointed and has a well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed a very relaxing stay and found the owners to be thoughtful and accomodating.

Geyserville Cottage

My husband and I stayed at this adorable cottage for Healdsburg's Passport Wine Weekend. It was a short drive up the highway away for all the hustle of a bigger town. It was very clean and had all the making of home. Uma and her husband were so easy to work with! If you are looking for a quiet, clean, peaceful place.....look no more. We highly recommend this cottage!!!!

Wine country getaway

Spacious, airy and bright cottage set amongst grapes and hillside views all around. Large windows and loft design gave the feeling of even more room. Fine touches with well stocked kitchen and European feel to bath. Just a short drive from Healdsburg while being close to a number of wineries yet short dirt road gives feeling of seclusion. Excellent communication with host and pictures don’t do justice for the beauty of the cottage.

Serene and Relaxing

This was the perfect place to relax after spending the day exploring area vineyards in Sonoma and Napa. The property is well kept and gorgeous. The cottage is tucked away yet very close to access town and main roads. The views from the front and back deck are spectacular- the listing photos were gorgeous but the actual cottage and views were even better. Uma provided the best communication and we had no issues at all accessing everything.

Relaxing retreat among the grape vines

Beautiful views of the surrounding hills of the Alexander Valley through large windows. Situated in a quiet spot down a dirt road. A short walk to the main street of Geyserville, which has several nice restaurant options and a coffee shop, and a short drive to several nearby wineries. The house is a nice option if you want a quiet, sunny retreat in wine country. A good size for my wife and me. We enjoyed being able to cook ourselves and the kitchen was well equipped for that. The loft above could be a nice option for an older child. It requires climbing a steep ladder which could be a challenge for younger children or older adults.

Peaceful and scenic spot

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were comfortable and the cottage had everything we needed from kitchenware to games to pass time in the evening. The setting was idyllic being in the middle of vineyards and viewing the mountains. We walked to town a couple of times. We were also close to the highway for easy access to Healdsburg, Santa Rosa, and other neighboring towns. Communication with the owners was great and they were really responsive. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Dream vacation!

We had a wonderful experience from start to finish at this amazing property! Uma was a fantastic host, providing clear access instructions and great local recommendations ahead of our stay. During our visit, she checked in with us to ensure we had everything we needed. The property itself was immaculately clean and you absolutely cannot beat the view. You wake up less than 10 feet to the beautiful vineyards every morning and have a clear night of stars each evening. The location is super accessible to both Sonoma County and Napa as it north enough to jump right on Hwy 128 to be in Calistoga in less than 30 min! We cannot wait to return again in the future!

More than just a great location!

This property has everything we needed! The location was absolutely killer. Staying in a beautifully designed and well thought out bungalow in a real-life VINEYARD was so cool. We walked to town every morning for breakfast because it was so beautiful and the coffee shop in Geyserville had great coffee, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches. The hosts were communicative and had stocked the house with all necessities. They were upfront about the strength of the WiFi but we didn't even want to stream anything because of the beauty of the surroundings. The WiFi was more than adequate for us when we did have to check our email and send texts. I'd return in a heartbeat to this place!

Wine country delight

We had a wonderful visit in early October. The property is even more beautiful than in the photos. Check-in was simple and the house was perfectly clean and tidy when we arrived. We absolutely loved the 360-degree views of the vineyards and the mountains, especially with the fog rolling in in the mornings. Pleasant, short walk into Geyserville for lunch or dinner and wine tasting. Amazing view of the stars after dark as well. A very restorative and restful trip. Thank you so much to the property owner for sharing this wonderful place, and for making us feel so welcome. Cheers!

The place was beautiful, peaceful, in great shape, and most importantly clean! Everything you could possibly need was provided. You are surrounded by the vineyard with awesome views.
