About this property

Fully Furnished Craftsman Bungalow on a Large Private Lot

Charming craftsman style bungalow on a large private lot. We use the house when it is not rented, so it is comfortably furnished and very well equipped. House was built in 1913 by the original owners, and I am the second owner. There are many original details, home has not gone through any extensive remodels. There is no dishwasher.

House is very quiet and there is lots of outdoor space (but it is not fenced in).
Property is listed as a two bedroom home; there is a third bed available in an attic loft which is accommodating, but has a low ceiling and is not connected to the main house heat source. If you plan to use the loft space, please inquire for more details to ensure your expectations will be met.

We've had a few comments that the beds are firm- which is the way we like them, but thought it would be good to call that out here to ensure your comfort; if it's pillow-top you're after then our home may not be the best choice for you. Happy to provide more details upon request.

Tim was great in communication, was willing to accommodate our schedule. The place was well-appointed, and the strawberries were an added touch. We were able to hang out there for a long time, as I was in town for work, but when we were there, it felt homey.

A unique location

A very nice rustic house in a hidden valley in old Petaluma; like a cabin in Tahoe. Quiet, hidden, low tech, perfect if you really want to unplug from the world for a while.

Perfect Place in Petaluma

We enjoyed our stay so much! Our host was very gracious and quick to respond! The cabin has a great kitchen space with a gas stove and oven. The beds in both rooms were comfortable and the washer / dryer were a life saver! The property is spacious and in a great location. We were so fortunate to have found such a cozy, safe olace!

Great & Funky place!

This place was just what we needed for a great family stay. We utilized the attic space which was a nice add on even with the low ceiling. The electrical and heating are a little funky but the owner has detailed guidance to help make the stay as care free as possible. The place is close to downtown yet also feels like you are out in the country, a great spot. Tim was a great host and helped make our stay very enjoyable over the holidays.

Petaluma getaway

Lovely town for pottering around, super restaurants. Post Covid /time of year a lot were not open until later in the week but still good choices. House is perfect, has everything and is so quaint . Loved the decor and can walk into the town . Tim left us a bottle of wine and some homemade jam, a lovely touch. I would highly recommend.

Art meats history is this lovely home. A beautiful house with something to catch your eye everyplace you look. It is homey and very comfortable. The property is very large and private located in a very convenient neighborhood. The owners are quick to respond, great communicators, helpful and very friendly.

Artists' bungalow

This property was perfect for us, within walking distance of restaurants, etc. The house is older but comes with more than you need for cooking, etc., and is decorated with a variety of woven and other arts and collectibles. The owners seem to care about the environment, which we do also. We enjoyed sitting outdoors under the redwood in the late afternoon (until the cool breeze chased us indoors).

Classic Petaluma Charmer

We were thrilled to have the opportunity to stay in this charming, unique Petaluma bungalow. Classics like this are fewer and further between these days and if they do exist, they have often been renovated to the point of being generic. Tim's Bungalow has been lovingly maintained not by obliterating the original character but by lovingly and painstakingly making repairs that enhance character. The whole place has an excellent kintsugi vibe. Top that off with its fantastic central location and you have found yourself a sweet gem of a stay.

Older craftsman

Older craftsman home without much updating. Rooms were dim and dark even with available lights.Shower water pressure was very light. Not many convenient outlets and it appears that electrical system needs to be updated. Kitchen was adequately furnished. Location was convenient.Mattress was hard and uncomfortable.

Hello Barbara. We are sorry to hear you were not entirely happy with your stay at our home. We've done our best to write a description that accurately describes the house to ensure that our guests are 100% satisfied with their selection. In general it has worked out fine- home is described as original without any big changes as we love the old time feel of it; water pressure of the shower head is limited by California Green Building Standards Code, which limits maximum flow rate and ensures water conservation; and because previous guests have mentioned the firm beds we clearly call that out in the last paragraph of the description to be sure that all of our guests get a good night's sleep! Again, apologies that it did not work out great for your stay. Best of luck in your future VRBO property selections.

Bungalow on Cherry

House is at the top of a hill up a lane. Property surrounded by numerous trees so you have a nice view from every window. A family of deer live in and around the property - a mother with two babies along with squirrels. There is easy access to downtown which is quaint and picturesque. Check out St Vincent DePaul church. With regard to accommodation house is charming. The heating is funky and the bedrooms do need plug in heaters as bedrooms can get very cold at night. There are certain basic items that are missing so renters should take that that into account -no TV, hairdryer, coffee maker, wine glasses. Nice get away and close to wineries and breweries and good restaurants.

I’m sorry to hear you were not entirely comfortable in the house. Amenities listed are accurate. I wish you would have asked about the lack of a TV before reserving. We understand that is important to some guests, but we prefer not to have one here and have not included in the listing. There are a few different options for making coffee (though no automatic coffee maker and I’ve updated listing for clarity), space heaters available if needed in every room, wine glasses in a high cupboard (we don’t use often), and I’ve procured a hair dryer based on your feedback. Thanks for the info- always happy to make our home as comfortable as possible for guests.
