Great location to start! Easy to get to. For two people, the space was perfect! The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful! The welcome book contained great suggestions. They had a Bocce Ball court and after a Harvest Party, we came back and had a wonderful time!! I enjoyed the patio every night!

Very well kept and nice property. The hosts had recommendations for everything. There is a really good carnaceria on the corner. Super close to everything the Valley has to offer and a hop skip to either Napa or the Coast. Definitely, would stay again.

My fiancé and I loved our stay here. The cottage is supplied with everything that youd need for your stay, plus there's a small market minutes away for food and whatnot. The garden is spectacular and his book was a great read. We wil keep this in our favorites for any future Sonoma trips.

Sonoma garden cottage

The owner was extremely helpful and welcoming. The cottage set in the hosts’ lovely garden is charming with interesting art/artistic touches and vintage furnishings making it cozy and welcoming. The kitchen, which I used a lot, is fully equipped. Even though I spent most of my time in Napa with friends, I much prefer Sonoma’s more laid back style. So this was heaven for me.

Anniversary Celebrations

We were in the area to celebrate a 50th and 25th wedding anniversaries. This was a quiet, clean very nice place to stay. It’s centrally located in the wine country near Sonoma and Napa. Lance, our host, was very helpful with restaurants and wineries. We would definitely stay there again. Lovely deck in garden setting for sipping wine.

Wonderful retreat!!

We stayed four nights and thoroughly enjoyed this clean, comfortable, quiet cottage! Hosts thought of everything!! There was nothing that we were missing and everything conveniently located. Many special touches, and the garden is absolutely beautiful. We traveled to Napa daily and was very nice to stay away from the traffic and activity. Hosts, Lance and Sandy, were absolutely fantastic. I own several vacation homes myself and only hope that my guests are this happy!!

Best Location for Everything Sonoma

The bungalow is perfectly located, close to downtown Sonoma, shopping, and the wineries within the surrounding areas. It was well appointed with everything we needed, coffee was amazing. The host is very welcoming and informative. All the restaurants that were suggested came with a tasteful experience. The host was very caring and a delight to visit with. We will be returning next year. Thank you for making our visit special!!!

About the host

Hosted by lance cutler

Host profile image
My wife and I have lived in Sonoma for more than 45 years. For most of that time I was a working winemaker, and my wife ran a tasting room. We love cooking, eating, and the wine country lifestyle in general. Our home is renowned throughout the industry as a mecca for hospitality.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Sonoma during a visit in 1976. By 1977 we had moved here and the next year I began a career in the wine business. After renting a small cottage for 23 years, my wife and I decided to build our own home. We built the main house in 2000, and the guest cottage in 2001. My wife has planted and maintains a stunning garden on the property. In short, this is a great spot in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country that we have built with our own hands. (For more info, check out winepatrol.com)

What makes this property unique

First off the property sits in a real, rustic neighborhood. It's not screened off by metal fences and high walls. Just blocks from the Sonoma Mission Inn, several restaurants and five burrito wagons, you'll be centrally located to start your exploration of Wine Country.
