About this house rental
Sonoma County is open and we invite you to come visit. Restaurants are open to outdoor dining. Stores, beaches, attractions and wineries are open.
This home is ideal if you’re looking for a comfortable home away from home. Located in Historical Petaluma in the heart of Sonoma Valley Wine County. You’ll be minutes from great dining, boutiques and antiques and only 30 miles to SF, the coast or Napa Valley.
You’ll fall in love with the town and feel at home in this lovely house. It’s set it up for families/ friends to relax and entertain without leaving the yard yet close enough to walk downtown or take a quick ride to see the sights.
We do not allow large gatherings . We also ask that you respect the neighbors with no loud music in the yard. Park in the driveway or garage, three cars maximum.
This lovely place has all the comforts of home. You will love all the room for people to spread out to read a book, watch the birds or relax in the hot tub. It also has large spaces to gather for a meal in the dining room or play a game while enjoying a cozy fire in the living room.
The top deck is our Happy Place; just relax, flip on the fireplace and watch the stars. You may find yourself out there for hours enjoying the quiet, the fresh air and each other’s company. You’ll feel like you’re in the country with nothing but the sound of birds to distract you (or an occasional fox family if they come out to play).
If you have children, they will love the kids room, set up with a bunk bed and trundle, toys and a TV of their own (with the remote out of reach). For little ones there are shutters on the window for nap time and we can have a crib available to you as needed. The backyard is child friendly and large enough for a game of tag or hide and seek. Just watch them around the pool, it’s not fenced. If they get dirty, you can rinse them off in the outdoor shower.
All of the beds are set up with comfort in mind with quilts, comforters and plenty of pillows to help you get a great nights sleep.
The outdoor kitchen and bbq is a great alternative to dining out. With a lovely seating area and gas fire pit, you can grab a friend and chat while dinner is cooking.
The house is stocked with many amenities including spaces, condiments, shampoo, conditioner, blow dryers, etc.
The yard gets sun all day. The valley blocks the wind so even if it’s cold in town, it will be warmer in the yard.
The pool isn’t heated. It’s warm in the summer and cold in the winter.
We back up to a graveyard. Check out the pictures, we love the view and the quiet.
There is a wood stove for a fire in the living room and wood on the side of the house. The family room fireplace is gas and easy to start. Instructions are in the manual for the deck heaters and we will have spare propane.
All the TVs are set up for netflix, etc. We don’t have cable. We do have WiFi
We will send house rules and access information when you book your stay.

House was as described, very clean and comfortable. Place was very well appointed with the necessary items and several that were unnecessary but appreciated, like coffee and filters. We were in touch with the owner for a few small items and she was very quick to respond. A great stay!

Beautiful home that came with every possible amenity! Our group included an active 5 yo, who LOVED the kid bunk bed, toy-filled closet, and outdoor playhouse, and a mobility impaired great-grandmother who LOVED being able to sit on the spacious upper deck and enjoy the sun, flowers, and garden below. Other adults enjoyed the garden and hot-tub.
The home was stocked with literally everything we needed- including pool towels, sunscreen, and toiletries! We actually put our travel supply box back in the car. Didn’t need it.
We were in Petaluma for my daughter’s wedding and this place was the perfect headquarters for wedding prep- lots of room to lay out decor/supplies and fridge room for storing leftovers. The neighborhood is quiet and the house is centrally located so it only took us minutes to get to local stores and to our guests’ hotels to greet and deliver welcome bags.
Our host was gracious and super-responsive, even texting to see how our check-in went. We all agreed that this place exceeded our expectations! It gets our highest recommendation!

I had a wonderful vacation at this rental. It was the best ever. Fully appointed. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook delicious meals. The living room was cozy and comfortable as was the family room. The bedrooms were spacious and had plenty of storage space. The bathrooms were clean and had all the essentials. The rental also had great amenities such as a pool, a hot tub, plenty of games, even a well stocked library. I enjoyed relaxing and having fun with my family and friends. The rental was clean and perfect. The neighborhood was incredibly quiet. Very close to downtown Petaluma with lots of great restaurants. Close to a supermarket. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great vacation. Even my dog has a wonderful time.

Beautiful home. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, spices, etc. Outdoor kitchen is top of the line. Had a toddler with us and she was impressed with all the toys. Host was quick to respond to questions. Petaluma is a cool little town with many restaurants and close to Sonoma, Napa and the coast.
Have used VRBO many times and this is without a doubt the best experience we've had. Would highly recommend.

Wow! This house was fully stocked with everything we needed. Nancy was very responsive to questions and we had a wonderful visit. The house has so many places to gather we didn’t even use them all. If you’re bringing children, they will love all the toys and the yard. My granddaughter kept calling it a park. I highly recommend this house for anyone to stay. There’s a bedroom on the main level for people who have trouble with stairs and a bunk bed for kids, along with 2 other bedrooms with very comfortable beds. Thank you for sharing your beautiful hidden gem.

The house is roomy and beautiful. We especially enjoyed the pool and sitting outside. Petaluma is adorable & great to wander; bookstores, farmer's market, and great breweries and restaurants. Neighborhood is good for walking.

Stayed here for 4 nights on a girls' get-away with our dog. It is very peaceful in the neighborhood and the house has everything needed, including stuff you forget you'll need. The beds are cozy and all the spaces to relax are comfortable. The host is thoughtful, proactive, and was quick to answer any questions. You're in good hands staying there. We'd go back for sure. My teenage daughter was sad to leave and had a great time.

My husband and I rented this lovely home for Thanksgiving weekend. It was so comfortable and cheerful. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped and the bedrooms are very comfortable. Our grandsons took turns staying with us (they live not far away) and they enjoyed it too. We would rent this place again in a minute! Since our daughter and family live nearby, we undoubtedly will. The owner, Nancy, was very considerate and helpful.

My sister, a friend, and my dog stayed at Nancy's place. We all live within an hour of Petaluma as we just wanted to get away somewhere close. This property was more than we could have imagined. And every necessity is there and then some. Very spacious, well equipped with high-end amenities, beautiful indoor as well as outdoor spaces. It was our best trip so far. It was so inviting and comfortable and most of all, fun! Nancy is a sweet lady and was more than accommodating. Thank you so much.

This home was clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and seating area to visit with family. The host was very accommodating and responded quickly to any questions I had. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. My only disappointment was not being able to have a few more family members over for dinner (that live in the area) - maximum 8 guests, but I totally understand the owner's restrictions due to insurance and it was explained to us ahead of time. We would certainly stay here again.

the house is just fabulous.
Fully Stocked with kid toys and gadgets, books, and a crib, there was something for everyone across a decent age range of kids.
Kid room was like a playland with fun nightlights and other touches.
We loved the house.
Having young kids, its can be hard to find something comfortable and not overcrowded with designer elements
( anything too ornate could and will be broken)
The house was well suited to our needs here.
The house was super well stocked with many kitchen needs including all the little annoying things you might bring if you're worried like me about not having at your disposal.. good olive oil, sea salt, range of spices, a healthy supply and variety of good wine glasses was really great to see.. You're in wine country after all.. lots of kiddy cups and plates were a bonus element. only thing missing was a good "Chef's knife" to cut, slice and chop. I get it, people are just as likely to throw it into a dishwasher and ruin in pretty quickly, but a good Victorinox is about $35, and just might be the cost of doing business.
Everything else was totally covered and we certainly made do.
Beds were comfortable, sheets pretty good.. The master bath was great, towels were plush and soft, downstairs 2nd bath w tub had jets, which the kiddos loved!
lots of small touches like phone chargers in every bedroom.
But being outdoors is what this house is all about.
giant pool and awesome jacuzzi!
lots of towels, goggles and sunscreen provided.
we spent all day and night outside.
Sitting under the deck poolside provided great shade, comfy outdoor furniture, and of course an outdoor kitchen!
There is a big Green Egg and gas grill. We used both every single night! all the outdoor plate ware and platters you could need..
Laundry was great and had two soap options including a dye/scent free which we use at home.
Petaluma is not the scenic and magical town like Healdsburg, but that's probably what makes this house more accessible and affordable.
the town is still quaint and the house is close to everything, literally it's 10 minutes or less to multiple markets, drugstore, and good coffee etc.
for our little brood I would have liked to see a gate at the top of the outdoor stairs but this was my only real quibble. Internet was solid, and we ran out of nothing.. plenty of dish soap, TP, etc.
We all really loved our stay here and the kids had a blast.
Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Our extended family (6 adults in all) had a wonderful stay in Petaluma for a special family gathering. The house was perfect for our group and we all loved Petaluma and the broader Sonoma County. The hot tub and pool were great, but we especially loved the terrace area on the second floor. We enjoyed both morning coffee as well as stargazing there. Nancy was helpful and responsive whenever we had a question. Highly recommend!

We loved staying at this wonderful house - it was perfect for a small group of friends touring wine country. Comfortable bedrooms with privacy, and lots of space to hang out together. We spent lots of time on the lovely deck and enjoyed the fire pit and watching the sky. The kitchen is great and well-stocked; the pool and hot tub were big hits, and the lower patio a great place to have dinner. Perfect for dog-owners, too. Very thoughtful all around. And the owner is so pleasant and responsive. Highly recommend.

A beautiful home with all of the fixings!
My kids did not want to come home! Nancy provided such great information in advance of our stay that I had no questions leading up to our trip. The check-in/check out process was so easy and hassle-free. The home itself is well taken care of and was stocked with everything we could have needed. My boys loved the bunk bed and appreciated all of the toys to play with! I only wish the weather cooperated so that we could use the pool! The backyard is beautiful with lots of outdoor space. Nancy was responsive and a pleasure. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful Oasis
The property is absolutely gorgeous! We had a group of 6 of us, and the house was plenty big enough to accommodate everyone very comfortably. The backyard is perfect for entertaining, and while we were there we spent most of our time on the deck both upstairs and downstairs. The kitchen is fully furnished and plenty of other household items at our disposal. Very close to grocery stores, restaurants, breweries, and a fun drive up to Napa. I highly recommend this property and plan on returning in the future.

Truly a home away from home experience
My parents are already planning their next trip to Petaluma and are already talking about reserving this listing again. We are big fans of the fire pit and the deck as a whole as we got to check in on constellations at night and stay nice and warm. Nancy was beyond welcoming helpful and so accommodating. Do not let this listing pass you by yall.

Amazing Stay in Wine Country!
The house was beautiful and even prettier in person. The kitchen has lots of space and storage, the bedrooms are all so comfortable, and since we were 3 we each had our own bathroom.
The backyard was spectacular with an outdoor kitchen and fridge as well as fire pit which we used every night after a dip in the hot tub.
There are a lot of things for kids in the house (we didn't need any thankfully!) so it would be great for a family too.
The location is perfect - we were 1/2 hour from Sonoma and 1/2 hour from Point Reyes where we went kayaking. We would love to book again for next year!
Nancy was a great host - all essential items were supplied in abundance and communication was always efficient, The neighborhood is quiet and close to downtown Petaluma with its quaint shops and surprisingly great restaurants.

Lovely family getaway
Stayed in this wonderful house with my husband and two kids (ages 3 and 6), as well as my brother and his wife. More than enough room for all of us, beautiful property, comfortable living spaces, and the kids were over-the-moon with the variety of toys! They keep asking when we're going back "our house" in Petaluma :) A great stay!

Really great vacation home!
We had an awesome time at Nancy's home. She was super helpful and communicative, and really went out of her way to take care of us. The house is really nice and honestly greatly exceeded our expectations vs. the pictures. It had great sun in the back, hot tub was awesome, and plenty of space for two full families.
Highly recommend for any groups looking for a nice weekend away!
