RIGHT IN the ❤️ of SONOMA PLAZA - Charming 1865 Historical Vintage Cottage

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.

(We are a Licensed Business, permitted by the City of Sonoma, No. 13637-D2816.)

Perfect location in Sonoma!
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 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.

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!
