Joe was very friendly and so were the pups! Perfect little spot to have as home base for wine country. Very comfortable size and a beautiful setting, and the gate on property felt like an extra layer of safety on a trip.

Great location and accommodations

Great location, stocked with tea, coffee, hair dryer and some toiletries. Joe and his adorable dog Fergus were very welcoming and also gave us privacy, despite the VRBO being a guesthouse on their property. Would definitely stay here again.

The cottage was beautifully appointed and had everything needed for a relaxing weekend. The chairs in the front yard were perfect for sitting down for a few hours to read, in between visits to town and the surrounding area. Meeting Fergus was an added bonus!

Sonoma July 4th Weekend 2025

The place was quiet, clean, comfy and well-kept. The king size bed was very comfortable. I appreciate the step stool (at least that’s what I think it was) for getting in and out of the claw foot tub. The whole place was very charming with a great outdoor patio. Bonus points for the friendly orange cat who came by to say hi. We would rent this property again!

Sonoma Heaven

A solo 3 night stay, this guest cottage was just what I needed. My favorite thing was the claw foot soaker tub. What a rare and special treat! The back yard has a patio table with umbrella- very comfortable and lovely surroundings. The bed was firm yet soft, if that’s even possible- heavenly.The cottage main living area is quite dark . The little heater stove worked quickly and easily. I’m guessing this space will be very comfortably cool in summer heat. Overall, a gorgeous property . Joe is warm, helpful and

Quiet, relaxing and great location.

Joe’s cottage was perfect for our 3 night stay in Sonoma. Very comfortable king size bed. Kitchenette is small, but all we needed for breakfast, coffeemaker, toaster and micro. Nicely decorated. I would warn anyone with mobility issues, like me needing knee surgery, this is not a walk in shower. It’s a beautiful claw foot tub with shower. Unit is nicely decorated. Highly recommend.

Perfect for us

This is a one bedroom house with large bath, bedroom, and living/dining with kitchenette. Everything worked. Very advanced large flat screen television which allowed us to watch the U S Open Tennis better than if we were there. The owner is very laissez faire which suited us fine. The house only accommodates two people.

Rejuvenating

We had such a nice time at Joe's beautiful and comfortable guest cottage. The bedroom is spacious with a very comfortable bed, plenty of closet and luggage space, and both light-blocking and light-filtering window coverings. The living area has a comfortable couch and excellent large TV. In addition, there are so many thoughtful touches that make for a completely harmonious visit: thorough instructions for media and other features of the cottage; soft lighting with dimmers; well stocked kitchenette; screened windows and doors for those who prefer fresh air to A/C; shaded and comfortable outdoor seating surrounded by bee and bird-friendly native plantings. We especially loved sitting outside and the frequent short visits by Joe's sweet dog, Fergus.The overall property is quiet, spacious and secure. We enjoyed walking to the nearby Sonoma Garden Park, a charming community garden. Wineries and the square are just a short drive away.Highly recommended!

Wonderful place for a couple’s getaway

My partner and I stayed for 2 nights at this very lovely garden cottage. The grounds are a beautifully landscaped garden setting which made for a very enjoyable, relaxing way to spend a couple getaway to wine country. After tasting some local wines we liked coming back to relax and refresh outside in the great weather we had. Joe was very available and communicative and responded to any questions we had within minutes, while also allowing our privacy. We enjoyed meeting his little dog Fergus who stopped by to say hello. Everything was as it looked on vrbo and spotless upon arrival. Next time we find ourselves back in Sonoma we hope to stay here again, if available. Thanks Joe!
