About this property

Luxury Sonoma Cottage: Sanctuary with Pool! Close to Square & Wineries

Nestled down a little country dirt lane, our cottage named after William Wordsworth's own Dove Cottage, is a calming sanctuary in the middle of the Wine Country, close to Sonoma Plaza. It is a completely private residence with it's own solar-heated pool, large private deck for entertaining, dining, and relaxing. It has a lush, wrap-around garden, and a modern, clean, minimal interior space. It is perfectly located close to Sonoma Square for the best in fine dining and access to some of the best wineries in the world.

Our cottage is perfect for a couple's romantic weekend away, or a fun weekend for a small family with kids enjoying the pool (with automatic cover- so very safe) and Traintown just around the corner. *We do not typically heat the pool November- February due to the cold temperatures, it is almost impossible to get the pool warm enough to enjoy.

Besides being a beautiful little getaway, we have also put thought into the details: Dove Cottage has air-conditioning/heating and features a beautiful custom luxury kitchen. It has two Sony HD TV's with complimentary Netflix and Cable, Full Lightening speed Wi-fi, and unique European design details such as a sliding custom barn-door and two Dutch-style doors. And the back master suite has french doors that lead out to your private deck to enjoy the evening sunsets or the fresh morning air.

Our cottage is close enough to the Square for easy access and proximity yet has a wonderful rural setting that allows you to simultaneously feel away from it all. We have tried to create a space that we love to be in as a family, or as a romantic getaway, and we have put a lot of thought into the design and flow, and we hope that you will love it, and that it will make your time in this beautiful part of the world even more enjoyable and memorable.

Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The pluses of this house included comfortable beds, a nice yard for hanging out by the pool with plenty of shade, the pool cover was secure and easy to operate, kid friendly, and the neighborhood was quiet.However, several things in the house were broken including some ceiling lights in the kitchen, oven light, range hood light, and the bathroom trash can. The house was not as clean as we would expect and there was laundry left in the dryer. The curtains in all the rooms were very sheer, which is nice for letting light in but not great for privacy or kids bedtimes. When we left we found the trash outside overflowing onto the ground.

Wonderful stay at Dove Cottage

Dove Cottage was an amazing home for our family stay in Sonoma! The house is close to the Sonoma square, restaurants, grocery stores, and wineries. We loved jumping in the pool to cool off in the hot afternoons. The home was clean and everything was as described.

Fantastic

Really well done. The property was exactly as advertised. We stayed here twice we loved it so much. The pool was great, and the cover gave us some added comfort with the cover since we have a 4 year old. We swam every day. Lots of options nearby for dining and grocery stores. Can’t wait to stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Miles --> on instagram @dovecottagesonoma

Host profile image
We are a family with our hearts split equally between San Francisco and London, but the wine country of Sonoma is a heartland all of its own and we have fallen under its spell. Between the beauty of its countryside, the warmth of its residents, and the endless sunny days and long summer nights, there's no more romantic place that we could imagine to escape to and call a home away from home.

What makes this property unique

We are a very child friendly rental home, we are blocks from Sonoma square that has playgrounds and ducks, and only a block from Train Town which is a gorgeous little theme park for kids. We also have a farm near the house with friendly horses, ponies, goats and llamas. And, our cottage has a pack n play, games, a highchair, a safety cover on the pool, corn hole and everything we can think of to make travelling with children fun and easy.
