About this house rental
We are a 5-star vacation rental and qualify as a "Premier Partner" with VRBO -- meaning that we have earned a higher level of recognition for providing exceptional service to our guests over the last 11 years. We've work hard for our wonderful 200+ reviews, so you will know exactly what to expect during your stay with us.
Don't be fooled by other properties claiming to be "downtown" or "close" to the Plaza - be sure to check the map location on VRBO & proximity to the Sonoma Plaza. (There are only just a handful of permitted properties located 1-2 blocks from the Plaza, and we are one of them.) Our historical, adorable cottage is just steps away from world-class restaurants, wine tasting rooms, historical landmarks, parks, shopping, festivals and lots of room for your kids to frolic.
We are also located within a short walk to Whole Foods, Sonoma Market or Safeway should you need to do a market run. Your pedestrian paradise in the Plaza arena includes passing old adobe storefronts, sunlit courtyards, and enchanting alleyways. Sonoma is also home to our State Historic Park, site of the northernmost Franciscan Mission in California and birthplace of the California State Bear Flag.
Our 1865 Cottage is uniquely charming, tastefully decorated, and offers you a genuine Sonoma living experience. You will be embraced by Sonoma-style comfort and convenience during your stay. All rooms are bright & colorful – each boasting its' own Sonoma vintage style (please view our pictures!). Upon checking in, we provide our guests with a bottle of select Sonoma Valley wine.
Our reviews speak for themselves about the kind of experience you can expect. We are responsive, caring, diligent, and genuinely care about our guests being 100% satisfied with their stay.
Come explore the whole of Sonoma Valley, the birthplace of California’s wine industry. We offer an ideal base from which to explore not only the Plaza area, but Sonoma Valley, and neighboring wine regions (Glen Ellen, Kenwood, Russian River, Healdsburg, Anderson Valley, & Napa Valley). We are just a 45 minute drive to San Francisco and close to the California coastline.
Please note that we DO NOT ALLOW ANY LARGE GATHERINGS, PARTIES OR EVENTS at our vacation home. Only those registered to stay with us are permitted to stay at our property, and we can ALLOW A MAXIMUM OF 6 PEOPLE (not including children under 2 years of age).
Our minimum stay requirement varies, depending on the time of year you book with us. We ask that you carefully read our house rules, in addition to familiarizing yourself with our property description, including all of our amenities.
Homeaway requires that 25% of your rental fee be collected at the time of your booking. We have a "moderate" cancellation policy - you can cancel at least 30 days before check-in to receive 100% of your fees (please read full description of a "moderate" policy for more information.)
*Please note that rates displayed on rental websites are not confirmed until you receive our quoted price based on the dates you provide. We are also required by the City of Sonoma to charge an additional 15% for occupancy tax.

What a wonderful home! We thoroughly enjoyed our time here while we celebrated my nephew's wedding. The house was just perfect! Thank you.

What a fabulous house to stay in while visiting wine country! it is located a couple of blocks from the main square in Sonoma--about a 5 minute walk. Easy access to the walking trails in the area also.
The house is immaculate and has everything you and your family could need. The kitchen is well appointed and there is a grill on the deck. It was absolutely perfect for our family of 4 adults, but there is definitely room for more as we did not even use all the beds or sofa bed.
It was a great location as a base for our wine touring adventures in Sonoma and Napa! There are also dozens of tasting rooms, cafes, and fantastic restaurants in walking distance from the cottage. It we could give 6 Stars we would!! We definitely look forward to returning!!

We walked in and immediately felt at home! Plenty of space to enjoy spending time relaxing and walking around town. Next time we hope it’s a bit warmer and we can enjoy the back garden area. Thanks Liz for checking on us!

We loved our stay here! Such a cute place- we loved the decor and all the little touches. All the bedrooms are upstairs so I recommend packing lightly! We were able to walk into town to shop and eat which was great! Couldn’t recommend this place more

All good. We’d suggest placing anti skid tape on lip of each stairwell step. They are slippery in socks, and it’s also hard to see each step edge.
Front steps also icy/slippery in am. I don’t know if anti skid tape would help.

Our sorority group has done an annual trip for last 10 years and this year Sonoma was our destination. This home is in the perfect spot-walking distance to everything and a short drive to the wineries we wanted to visit. Home is cute and very clean. Would 100% stay here again.

This was the perfect house for our girls trip. We were celebrating my mothers 60th birthday. We had five ladies with us and there was more than enough space. The house was the perfect location. We had a short walk to the center and a bike shop right around the corner. We will definitely be back!

Right across the street from the church. Just a wonderful location. Never needed a car. Short walk to the plaza and restaurants. Beautifully furnished and well stocked kitchen. Great 4 day visit.

We had a great time at the cottage. The owners were very responsive and we experienced no issues during our stay. The cottage is well-maintained and beautifully decorated. The beds are comfortable and the location was just a short walk to the plaza. I would definitely stay again. The only drawbacks are the lack of laundry facilities and the fact that it backs up to a business parking lot. The fence is high enough to block that out and the outdoor patio is very cute. Unfortunately, a truck is parked right up against the back gate so you can see the top of the truck if you face in that direction.

We had a wonderful time in wine country. Home has a great location close to Sonoma square. Access was simple. Great communication prior to arrival. And contacts were given to us if needed but everything went so smooth we didn’t have a need to call. Great stay

We stayed in this cottage for a short leadership retreat. It was the perfect location- we parked our cars and didn't have to drive once while we were there. Easy walk to the square, Whole Foods, and many restaurants.
The neighborhood is very quiet during the week, and we enjoyed our stay.

Our stay was perfect! Walkable to every restaurant we wanted, fully stocked kitchen (there was even a bottle of sparkling waiting for us in the fridge with chilled glasses!) the house set up was perfect! Our only complaint is that it was too chilly outside to enjoy the perfect patio :) 10/10 would recommend and 10/10 would stay again!

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was very clean and was stocked with everything we could need. The communication with the owner was quick and helpful - we asked for winery and restaurant recommendations and loved her picks. We walked to Sonoma Plaza every evening and enjoyed the local sights and eateries. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Our group loved everything about this cozy and charming home! It was perfect for our girls' weekend! The house was exceptionally clean and well stocked, and was within just a few blocks of shops, restaurants, tasting rooms, and hiking. Liz checked in with us multiple times before and during our stay to make sure that we were comfortable, and to see if we needed anything. We would definitely recommend this property to others. It will be first on our list the next time we visit Sonoma!

We did enjoy the Sonoma Vintage Cottage immensely. The home was just as promised: clean comfortable and charming! And equipped with everything you need. We were visiting on a rainy weekend and there were umbrellas which we were very thankful for. The beds were very comfortable and the linens nice. Really we have nothing bad to say. Thank you for your hospitality!
