Everything was perfect from the location to the property to the outdoor space. Short drive into town, quiet private space.

We had a great time at the property. It is very convenient to town and a great place to watch Forth of July fireworks!

My wife and I spent three nights in Sonoma at this detached cottage. The place was very private and quiet in a nice neighborhood on the outskirts. Sleeping was very comfortable, we cooked breakfast before the adventures of the day. Relaxing patio. Easy drive to nearby wine country spots including Healdsberg, Napa and Yountville. Owners were warm and gave great recommendations.

First time visit to Sonoma area for both me and my friend. We were thrilled to find this great place to stay, a gem of a hidden cottage behind the main house. Jim (and his smiley grand-daughter) gave us a friendly welcome and some tips for walking trail into town and where to find a coffeeshop. This clean, comfortable and tranquil setting is so much closer to town than we expected, and the jasmine on the breezeway completed an idyllic stay. I would love to come again!

This back house was perfect! The location is about 1.5 miles to Sonoma Square. We enjoyed wine tasting and restaurants in town and would retire to this peaceful location in the evenings. There is a market two minutes drive right around the corner. The bed is super comfy! We really enjoyed sipping wine on the private patio. Thanks for a great stay.

property was clean, quiet, and hosts were incredibly hospitable. we had a most enjoyable stay and would stay again!

Nice little cottage behind owners home. Easy access and owner kept the property clean and nice

Jim was a great host! His property is stunning, and the cottage is quintessential rustic wine country. Close to downtown Sonoma, and with easy access to Hwy 121 so as to visit Napa, Petaluma, and the San Francisco Bay Area, it is the perfect location for that special getaway. I highly recommend this vrbo. Thanks Jim and Diana, Leslie

This is a nice guest house close to everything but still very isolated and quiet. We found it a bit awkward to have the bedroom seperated from the kitchen-living/dining room combination, but quickly overcame that. We were very comfortable here and would certainly stay again.

Thank you, Jim, for making our stay at your beautiful cottage one of our most memorable vacations. Everything was perfect- from the ambiance, peaceful surroundings, cleanliness, accessibility to downtown Sonoma and Napa, and your hospitality. We could not have asked for anything more. We would recognize your place and love to visit again. Best,. Ingrid and Patrick

Well appointed, owners friendly and helpful.

Thank you Jim for sharing your great place with us on our recent Sonoma trip. We loved the great location and the large spacious bedroom worked perfectly for our needs. The rooms were clean and we loved the beautiful grounds. We would recommend this VRBO

We had a great time and Jim was a great host. The house was clean and location was very convenient. It is about a mile walk (20min) from the downtown plaza. Would definitely come back to this spot.

My wife and I had a wonderful time in Sonoma at this amazing property. We loved the quiet neighborhood and accommodations are great. The bedroom is spacious and comfortable. We didn't use the adjoining kitchen, but it is well-equipped. For those that like to walk, it is a nice 1.5 mile stroll to Sonoma Plaza. Jim was responsive to any questions we had.

Convenient to Sonoma but quiet and relaxing.!!

We wanted to visit San Francisco and Napa Valley. This was a perfect location for easy access. After touring all day we came home to a quiet patio setting. We slept very well here.

Jim was so thoughtful and kind while we were staying at his home. The location was amazing and the house was clean and had everything we needed!

Nice quiet place will go there again

My biggest problem with the property was that you had to leave one cottage, where the bed was and walk outside across the breezeway to the cottage that had the shower. Other than that, the property was in good shape and a nice place to stay.

We were here for a running event and found this location to be perfect as a base to get into town and explore wine country. Jim and Diana were great hosts and the property was well stocked including a new toothbrush for the one that was forgotten. Thank you!

Private, clean, excellent location and comfortable!

We absolutely loved this quaint VRBO! Plenty of room for the two of us. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities for cooking. Everything was clean and the owner was very pleasant. We enjoyed seeing the chickens and Lady Bug, the dog, every day if only for short visits to get her pets! The location is walking distance to the main square and it’s a beautiful quiet neighborhood. All the neighbors we encountered were friendly. We would absolutely go back again! Thanks Jim & Dianna & Lady Bug!

Jim, Diana and Ladybug were welcoming hosts! The property is clean, full of attention to detail and sits on a beautiful piece of property for beautiful sunsets. Breezy, pleasie and so comfortable. What a wonderful stay. Thank you.

My wife and I had an amazing stay here. The house was everything that was advertised. Peaceful, quite setting with an amazing garden and landscape. Stepping out on to the back patio each morning was a dream. If you are looking for a quite, relaxing trip to Sonoma, I would highly recommend staying here. The house is conveniently located near the town square. Each day my wife and I ventured into the surrounding wineries and it was such a pleasure to come home to the clean, peaceful setting. This is an ideal place for two people looking for a relaxing weekend. The owners were extremely nice and friendly. They even left a phone number to reach out for local recommendations, which was great. Their recommendations were top notch. You can only get some much info online, so it helps to get a local perspective.

Quiet and comfortable. Just what we were looking for. Would stay here again.

Really enjoyed staying at the cottage. It’s like staying with friends instead of a hotel. Short drive to Sonoma square but also walkable.

The owner owner only left instructions on who to call as he and his wife were gone. Also instructions to where to find a spare key in case we locked ourselves out. There were no other instructions such as strip the bed, vacuum, put dishes in the dishwasher, put sheets in the washing machine. We appreciate the simplicity of it all.

This rental was a bit unusual in that the kitchen, dining area and bath with shower were in one building, and the bed, indoor seating, and half bath with laundry were in another, connected by a short breezeway. It it worked out fine, given the climate. There was both shaded and sunny outdoor space, with a table for eating, a porch swing, and two chase lounge chairs. It was an easy, 20 minute walk to Sonoma Square, along a bike path and residential streets with sidewalks. The property was neat, lean and comfortable. Jim was a very responsive host, who reached out immediately after we booked to see if he could assist in any way. Check in was easy.

We enjoyed our stay and would return in a heartbeat. Very comfortable king bed and sitting area for relaxing. The well-maintained outdoor area is quiet and peaceful. The kitchen has everything you need should you want to cook or grill out instead of walking/driving to the square for a bite. Jim and Diana were welcoming and friendly. All in all it was a lovely trip.

We were very happy with the cottage, the grounds and the host. The kitchen was well stocked and the TV channels were awesome as we got to watch F1.

Had a great time. Great location for wine tasting in the area.

Very comfortable home base for exploring Sonoma area!
