About this house rental

Take in all the Wine Country has to offer from this centrally located cozy apartment overlooking Sonoma Creek! With nearby great wineries, tasting rooms, restaurants, and shops, you'll find lots to enjoy in the area. You can take it all in on the 2 complimentary bicycles parked in the shed!

Please note! For a reservation to be accepted, you MUST tell us a bit about who's staying, and what brings you to the Wine Country.

Guests who book during the winter / rainy season may get a special whitewater treat! Since the Bungalow is overlooking Sonoma Creek, you will enjoy an exciting show if there is a rainstorm, and the rapids get more turbulent! Part of the deck is covered, so you can enjoy a thrill during a rainstorm! (Don't worry, you are safely high above the creek in the ravine below.)

The Bungalow (Sonoma TOT Cert # 1436N ) features a beautiful kitchen, hardwood floors, a cozy gas 'Franklin' stove for cool nights,, and a sumptuous new Beautyrest queen bed and awesome high thread count Egyptian cotton sheets. Fast internet, cable and internet-enabled TV let you watch cable TV or stream movies. While the apartment is delightfully furnished (we own a furniture store!), the real attraction is the deck overlooking the creek. From here, you can sit for hours watching the steady stream of wildlife (deer, mostly) as they make their way along the trails along the year-round creek. When the rains start, the creek goes from a lazy creek to a roaring stream - with rapids just a bit past the bungalow, giving great sound effects. The deck features comfortable patio furniture and an optional gas firepit to enjoy a glass of wine around at the end of a busy day!

The Queen bed is a new Beautyrest that is moderately firm. Some have said it is too soft. Some have said its too firm. It is what it is! The bed is covered with an Organic Cotton mattress protector/pad. High thread count Egyptian cotton sheets complete the ensemble. Spare blankets and pillows are in the closet.

The bathroom features a curved glass shower enclosure and a newly tiled shower. We have just added a Bidet Toilet - we tried one at a Vacation Rental ourselves and loved it - so we added one for you to enjoy as well! It features a heated seat and warm water. Heavenly!

While there are so many activities nearby, we expect that at least one of the days of your visit you'll grab a couple of bottles of wine and want to spend the whole day at the cozy Lazy Oak Creekside Bungalow, enjoying the magical surroundings!

** NOTE** MAX OVERNIGHT OCCUPANCY - 2 PERSONS ONLY ** (Including children)

IMPORTANT NOTE: To ensure your booking request is accepted, please be sure to tell us a little about WHO is staying, WHERE you are from, and WHAT brings you to the Wine Country! You can read about who we are in our VRBO profile, so its a 2-way privacy street!
Coin Laundry machine is located outside the unit under cover.

The deck adds a beautiful outdoor space to this bungalow. We ate several meals overlooking the creek, listening to the water and birds. A magnificent old oak tree provided shade from the hot summer sun, keeping the indoors cooler. Situated near the Fairmont spa and bike trail to downtown Sonoma, the location was ideal. Our hosts provided check-in information and answered messages in a timely manner. I would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay very much. It was as advertised and the bikes were an awesome addition for us to use to bike into downtown Sonoma. Kitchen could use some more accessories and cooking utensils, but we perhaps cooked much more than typical. Check in and check out was straight forward and easy.

This was in a perfect spot for us to get to and enjoy downtown Sonoma, our friend's wedding at Viansa winery and all the other things we had planned. The neighborhood was quiet and the place was adorable. It was perfect for our trip, we would recommend. :)

This VRBO was just okay. We are avid VRBO visitors and I gotta say… this one was probably our least favorite. We were very excited about the deck but once we went onto the deck our excitement was gone. The deck was really dirty! The floor was covered in a layer of dirt and the deck was full of spiderwebs and a black widow landed on my spouses hand. There was several other spiders as well during our stay. More than average.I’ve lived in the mountains and never dealt with this many spiders. The view would have been nice but they don’t upkeep their property. Dead brush was all over the hill leading to the creek and it was an ugly site. They also require you to keep on the light at the front door and the light shines directly in your face while you’re trying to sleep. It’s not ideal at all. Additionally the cottage is connected to another cottage and it’s not private AT ALL! At night we could hear the people snoring that stayed in the cottage next to ours. Then when they would wake up in the morning, we could hear their entire conversation. We knew their plans everyday. This place is not ideal if you are looking for a clean, peaceful, private stay.

Great home base to visit a ton of destinations including museums in Sacramento (Stanford Mansion, CA State Railroad Museum); hiking state and national parks (Jack London, Muir Woods, Mt. Tamalpais, Alcatraz); various wineries in Sonoma Valley, Dry Creek Valley, and Russian River Valley; restaurants and brewpubs in Tiburon, Sonoma, Healdsburg and Santa Rosa. Outstanding number of activities close by and we barely scratched the surface. And through it all we had quiet, comfortable mornings and nights in our Lazy Creekside Bungalow.

We had a wonderful stay, and really enjoyed the sound of the creek from the deck. We were visiting during a crazy heat wave, so did not utilize the bikes but it is a great area to cruise around on a bicycle. There was an amazing taco truck about 15 minute walk away. The cottage is located a tad off the beaten path, which we love because we are able to experience the local scene . We hope to stay here again, maybe in the winter to experience a different stage of natural surroundings.

This cottage is a great centrally located hidden gem for a couple to explore wine country. Great location overlooking the creek and quite secluded. The cottage was super clean and had everything needed for our stay.
