Sonoma Victorian in Heart of Sonoma

A Sonoma Wine Country Victorian house located near the Town Square. This property has a beautiful backyard with a hot tub and is the perfect gathering place for larger groups.

Built in 1889, this exquisite and beautifully preserved two-story Victorian offers timeless appeal and features authentic period architectural details. It rests beyond a white picket fence, with an enchanting, lush flowering garden that includes a wisteria-draped trellis, mature trees, and a relaxing place to unwind.

This property is located less than 4 blocks from the historic downtown Sonoma Plaza, making it a perfect location for groups who wish to enjoy everything our wonderful valley has to offer while still having the opportunity to walk or bike.

With our wine passport, your group will have the option for 2-for-1 tastings at over 30 wineries.

This house was perfect for a girls weekend. Amazing location close to shopping and restaurants. The house was very well appointed. One thing to know is that the two bathrooms on the top floor are accessible only from the bedrooms. Those in the other rooms need to go downstairs to access bathrooms. Everything was clean, hot tub was great and the house was well equipped.

Beautiful and spacious!

This house was a delightful choice for our stay in wine country! Walkable to shops, restaurants and grocery stores. Only downfall is it’s on a busier road and can be loud if you’re in a front bedroom. Bring a noise machine and it’s not a big deal even for light sleepers. 10/10 would stay again!

Wonderful home in Sonoma

Beautifully renovated older home within easy access to downtown Sonoma. Spacious and well appointed backyard that was perfect for our group visits. There were nine of us in our group and the house easily accommodated our group. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans and utensils for cooking. And there was a brand new grill. The common spaces are really lovely. One of our favorite rentals.

Awesome girl’s trip!

The house is the perfect location with a quick walk to downtown Sonoma. The home was exactly as pictured. The beds are comfy and there’s alot of space throughout the home. We also felt very secure and there’s plenty of lighting. The hosts left a booklet with everything we would need to know about the house as well as local suggestions. I appreciated the quick and thorough communication with the hosts whenever I reached out. Overall, a great stay for a girl’s trip!
