About this property

Comfortable Two Bedroom Two Bath shingled cottage in the West Sonoma wine region

(FYI the monthly rate calculated by this website may not be accurate. Please inquire)

Set well back from the road on 4.5 acres...birds, hawks, owls, turkeys, deer, dragonflies, trees, lawns, flowers, grape arbor, wisteria, and, seasonally, apples, blackberries, and persimmons. The level walk-out from the living room to the patio and garden provides comfortable,private in and outdoor living during spring, summer and fall. The winters are cozy too with the wood burning fireplace and a sofa bed in the living room. We recently added a zoned mini-split heating/AC system to improve comfort summer and winter.

Our place is not luxury but very comfortable for a relaxed vacation. It is perfect for two couples and people with children. The two bedrooms are on opposite sides of the hallway and each has a queen bed. One has a private full bath with a European style clawfoot tub and hand held shower. The other bath has a stall shower. The living room has a double sofa bed. We have a paknplay and plenty of toys for the under 8 crowd. The backyard, though unfenced, is well defined and excellent for play. There are two acres of woods on the hillside.
Our formal dining area seats six easily with immediate access to the shady backyard. The Kitchen is fully equipped and has stainless steel appliances including an induction range, dishwasher, refrigerator.
The private back yard of the house has a trellised patio, a lawn area,and steps to the upper acres. It is great for viewing birds and other wildlife. It is often chilly in the evening so bring a jacket to enjoy our deck.
Our garden has paths with pretty flowers in the spring and summer. Don't forget to check out the stone waterway at the south end of the property. In summer it feels like a different climate- a nice cool place to relax on hot days. An extra pair of flat shoes are a good idea for walking on the gravel paths. This property was named Owl Hill because the owls will call back and forth to each other from the tree tops.
Approximately 20 minutes to Bodega Bay. Less than 10 minutes to the town of Freestone, Osmosis Spa, and Wild Flour Bakery and within minutes to some of the best West Sonoma County wineries.
We try to offer a great value both in and out of season. Check out our off season and long term rates. We have had several monthly guests in the last few years. An easy house to "settle in". We are a Bay Area family, grandparents of three families each with two kids. All of us enjoy this vacation home when we can get away. Not luxury but very comfortable for a relaxed vacation.
The cottage shares a driveway with caretaker unit that is downhill and facing away from the vacation rental.

The home was exactly as described on VRBO. We had one question for the host and she responded and answered. She even offered earlier check in and later departure which was nice. Home was located near activities we were visiting. Saw the wild turkeys! Enjoyed our stay.

Charming Forest Cottage

The Owl Hill Cottage was the perfect spot for a winter getaway. We loved the cozy fireplace and seeing deer in the yard. Close to conveniences, yet feels very secluded.
