Beautiful, classic home in a lovely neighborhood. We spent most evenings enjoying the large backyard. We could live in this house and be very happy!

Cheryl is great! Her home is wonderful! We booked it for the July 4 weekend, which ended up being so warm that we had to cancel our plans to be outdoors and spend most of the time at the property. My wife, in particular, loved the place, and key highlights were the garden with many wonderful trees that had amazing fruits, and the hot tub! The hot tub was so easy to operate, and so clean! The place was stocked with almost everything we needed and very tastefully decorated. We would love to return at a time that offers better weather.

We had such an excellent stay at Cheryl's house/home. Cheryl presents her house as a home. Everything that you have in the comforts of your own home is available. The house has such an excellent, positive vibe and feel. You can feel the positive energy of the history of the house and the care Cheryl has put into it. Very quiet neighborhood and just a few blocks from Wili's Wine Bar. I have already recommended to family and friends.

This place is perfect! Clean, comfortable, and within a short, beautiful drive to tons of wineries. Walking distance from a nice local market. Courtesy bottle of wine with a nice message, happy birthday in our case as it was my wife’s birthday. Has everything you need for a lovely weekend or extended stay. Hot tub and fenced in back yard were perfect. Orange trees smelt beautiful!

This was great location and the host is easy to work with.

Everything was great. Thank you.

This is a fabulous property that is meticulously clean. We were close to wineries and stores and had an absolute fabulous time cooking in the chef’s dream kitchen.

Everything was absolutely wonderful. Cheryl has thought of everything that someone needs staying in her house. The kitchen was exquisite and we will be back!

Very nice location and a great house and property.

We loved the time we spent in Santa Rosa. Cheryl’s property was clean, beautiful and close to family. It is located on a somewhat busy street but it was a quick drive to our relatives house so that was nice. We had a great stay and would recommend this property to others looking to visit the area.

Beautiful property! Cheryl has thought of everything! Perfect location, perfect place! Thank you so much for everything.

This property is perfect location for any wine country touring, coastal visit and surrounding areas for fine dining, shopping or anything you choose to do ! Love the quaint secluded home feeling 😀 Highly recommend staying there. I will be returning. Thanks Cheryl 🙏

What a wonderful retreat! Perfect for a getaway in wine country! Charming and cozy, with plenty of space. Very beautiful, romantic and full of wonderful little touches. Highly recommend! Best VRBO ever!

Absolutely delightful! The pride Cheryl takes in serving her guests is unmatched. She even had a celebratory bottle of bubbly waiting for us when we arrived for our anniversary weekend. 10/10 recommend!!

The Cottage is a lovely home away from home. The yard is well maintained and a beautiful place for hanging out before a day of activities. The kitchen is well equipped with high end appliances and cookware to suit any cooking needs. I needed to make a tart for an event while we were there and forgot my large tart pan. To my surprise, there was one there. The location was perfect for us to be able to visit other family living and staying in the area. Check out the restaurant in the Flamingo Hotel for an experience that will take you back decades.

I was the reservation holder of the vacation rental, which meant my name was on the house. In securing the reservation under my name, I assume all responsibility for ensuring there is no damage to the property. I also ensure that I take any action necessary to remove any threat to the safety of myself and the home. My family member became a threat to my safety and security of the home. This person was slamming items and verbally attacking me. The owner was at the property watering her lawn, after I politely said it was okay to come by, when I stepped outside to let her know that the other person in the house was being asked to leave because she was causing a disturbance and threatened my safety. I locked the person out of the home while I waited on the police. The homeowner then unlocked the door to let the the unstable person back in the house without notifying me. I couldn’t believe it! I didn’t know what to do. I called my family. My family told me to ask her to leave again. The police refused to come to the house and the guest ultimately physically attacked me after asking her to leave again. The police finally came after I called a second time. Now, the homeowner wants to withhold my deposit for fear that she will receive a citation due to the police and medical assistance that disturbed the public. My hope is that the homeowner refund my deposit and never repeat this action again. I am still contemplating legal action, especially after receiving the notification that she is withholding my deposit.

We loved Cheryl’s home! It was perfectly cleaned and stocked with towels, blankets, kitchenware etc. She even had a little hot tub kit set for us. The kitchen is a dream and the back yard is stunning. We used the hot tub every day of our stay. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Cheryl was very communicative and was able to accommodate our early check in which was much appreciated so we could make our 4pm French Laundry reservation! Would love to stay here again. If you are staying with friends or another couple, make sure you know one bathroom has a tub and the other has a shower. The bathroom with a shower is not attached to a bedroom though, so you can still maintain privacy. Both bedrooms have a sliding glass door to the backyard too!

We can't say enough about this property. 1) Centrally-located between all of wine country including, Sonoma, Napa, Petaluma, Healdsburg, St Helena and more. Plenty of activities in Santa Rosa and wonderful restaurants everywhere. Walking distance to a small grocery store, really good restaurant (Willi's) and beautiful walks among the neighborhood. 2) The Backyard! Beautifully landscaped backyard provided us a sanctuary to rest and recoup. Nice deck for having morning coffee, or an evening glass of wine and dinner. A nice-sized lawn to relax in the grass. The house is on a relatively active street but the backyard is super tranquil for being so close to everything! 3) Host. Our host was truly wonderful and absolutely contributed to our experience. She's extremely knowledgeable about wine and food as well as activities. Pretty much anything we asked, she had the best place to go or best thing to do. Highly recommend.

The Encore was the perfect vacation home for my daughter and me to celebrate her 30th birthday in Sonoma Valley and the surrounding area. This home was not only beautiful inside, but the backyard was private and like an oasis with the gorgeous landscaping, hot tub, and separate massage room. Cheryl went above and beyond providing everything you could possibly need to make her home even more warm and welcoming. The location is within a short distance of so many wonderful attractions. I would highly recommend this home to anyone visiting this part of California. We hope to stay there again whenever we can return to the west coast in the future.

We came to visit the Sonoma vineyards and the quaint house was a great central location. It was close to great restaurants within Santa Rosa and we could easily visit the different sections of Sonoma. The gardens were beautiful and the hot tub was nice to enjoy when we were home. Cheryl was a great host, even had items there for us to enjoy a simple breakfast. We’re looking forward to one day returning.

We stayed here for my husbands birthday weekend and spent our time in Napa and Sonoma. The house was situated perfectly for the area and we loved the amenities! We also loved the close walking distance to a small neighborhood shopping center with a restaurant. Would love to stay again for another trip.

I have rented from VRBO many times but I think this was hands down my favorite place! The location of the house was great, easy access to vineyards, minutes from the grocery store and we even went to Bodega Bay on the coast for the day and it was only a 38 min drive! The house itself is amazing- we cooked on the Viking stove one night just for the experience! The beds were super comfy and the bathtub is to die for. The grounds are beautiful and well kept with 2 orange trees alongside the house that produced the most glorious orange blossom smell upon entering and exiting the house. We used the hot tub each night after our hikes and vineyard tours! And last but not least Cheryl the owner was so friendly and very responsive to all our questions. If you are looking for someplace to stay in the area...Stay here!!

We loved everything about the home, the many amenities, and the gift wine. We look forward to a future stay. I would recommend this home without reservation.

This house is everything the pictures show. It is conveniently located, immaculate, furnished and stocked with everything you could ever imagine needing in your home. Our stay was perfect!

We felt at home in Cheryl’s cozy clean house. It is a great location if you are looking to go wine tasting or spend a day at the coastline.

Our stay was terrific: beautiful house (w/ a marvelous kitchen!) with a lovely, serene garden. Cheryl is a welcoming and attentive host, and she made everything very easy. We would love to return!

Beautiful character home in a nice neighborhood in wine country. Shopping and restaurants within walking distance. Owner/host very responsive.

Beautiful home with all the amenities one would need. Great, quiet neighborhood. Home was as depicted in online photos. Large, fenced-in back yard gave us complete privacy. Cheryl, the property owner, was easy to contact for any issues. This became our home base while we traveled to wineries in both Napa and Sonoma valleys. We had a wonderful stay and will recommend this home to friends and family.

Very nice property, conveniently located in Wine Country

What a great home. The commercial is outfitted perfectly, the decor is amazing, and it was spotless. I’ll be back next year. Thanks for your hospitality.

The Encore felt just like home. The amazing kitchen had everything that you would need, the house was very clean and it has a great yard with a hot tub. It was a short drive to Healdsburg and Forestville and about an hour to Napa, so the location in Santa Rosa is great while visiting a few other areas. The master bedroom only has a tub and has no door, so you would share a shower with the household, but if worked for us. We would stay here again.

We loved our time in Santa Rosa. Loved this house and the host Cheryl was amazing! So attentive and a great chef! Also loved location, hot tub and the massage therapist Jeannie. Our only feedback is this lists as 3 bathrooms, and one is in the spa room (which is locked), so we had to share a bathroom to have access to a shower. The master bath doesn’t have a door to separate the toilet, which is just a misunderstanding on our part. Also, would replace the pillows, they are old and flat. But that is our only negatives and the positives out weigh those - we will be back!!!!
