Nestled on a five-acre parcel, serene and cozy with a king bed, soft sheets, sprawling view, modern bathroom, this cottage is the perfect wine country retreat. Located 6.3 miles from Sonoma town square and surrounded by dozens of wineries.
The space
Our super cozy, serene cottage sits on five acres and is connected to a second cottage separated by a utility room. It's very quiet out here and you're surrounded by mid-century vintage furnishings inside and wild Sonoma outside. Enjoy your morning coffee outside and at dusk, watch the sunset with a glass of wine.
Guest access
This cottage is nestled next to our other cottage. You are separated by a large utility room (not accessible).
PLEASE DO NOT ENTER ANY FENCED OR GATED AREAS WITHOUT ASKING.
Other things to note
We try to keep coffee and all its accompanying needs, tea, and snacks in the fridge for your use. This isn't always available, but we try.
My co-host is Holly. She's the yin to my yang. She's extroverted, I'm introverted. She's kind, loves people, and will chat anyone up and I still like her in spite of it all. Holly lives on-site, right next door to this cottage. You will hear her in the laundry room and see her around. She will be your main point of contact.
In addition to Holly, you may see the farm's caretakers around, so don't be alarmed.
We will not accommodate any wedding-related/ event-related reservations. We will not accommodate bridal & groom preparation, hair, make-up, food-prep, act as a holding space, parking space for photoshoots, photographs, or anything which requires multiple trades to be on site.
There is no kitchen. There is a kitchenette with a microwave. There is no toaster. We have basic dishware and silverware, wine glasses, mugs, and a carafe to make coffee.
We happily use a local mom & pop internet provider, thus the internet is OK at best. IF YOU REQUIRE ACCESS TO RELIABLE, HIGH-SPEED INTERNET, OUR COTTAGE IS NOT RIGHT FOR YOU. please make sure you are aware of this and you're ok with it before you decide to stay here.
WE CAN NEVER, NEVER, NEVER accommodate more than TWO guests per stay, at any given time. The violation penalties are set at their maximum and though we would hate to exercise this, we will if necessary.
Our TV is smart TV only. We do not have channels. You will need a Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Vudu account to watch anything.
We are 6.3 miles or 15-20 from the Sonoma Town Center. Our bungalow will best suit those who are OK with this and the short drive into town. If you are looking for a walkable, hustle-bustle space, our bungalow is not for you. If you are looking for relaxing and quiet, our cottage is perfect for you.
Our neighbors have livestock: cows and horses. They sometimes smell like livestock, though there are also occasions when all of Sonoma smell of what the locals call, "The Sonoma Aroma”. If you are overly sensitive to smells, our cottage is not right for you.
We are in the country. This means we have critters and insects. We have flies, lots of them. Keeping your doors close and screened windows open will mitigate the flies. Some other critters we have are yellow jackets (we set traps out every season but we never can get them all), spiders, frogs, ants, lizards, beetles, other insects, mice. To keep out mice and ants, don’t leave food around. The mice have some entry points we’ve not been able to find and once in a while, one makes its way inside.
Our electric grid is very sensitive. You may not leave the heater or AC on while you are out. Sometimes guests do this because they want to come back to a warm/ cool cottage, which is understandable, but out here, it's not possible. We are on a small grid and leaving a major appliance on all day with cause a power outage, which means NO WATER as our well relies on electricity. If the AC or heat is left on, I WILL HAVE TO GO INSIDE YOUR COTTAGE AND TURN IT OFF.
