Location of this home is fantastic, 100m from shopping and supermarket, 300m from freeway access

Beautiful private backyard and garden area for quiet time or sun bathing. The unit is top class with big screen TV (multi channels) and double sized luxury shower in the en-suite. We loved it!

Wonderful and Convenient Location!

This is a great place to stay. Comfortable, quiet, and just as represented. We loved the personal touches of coffee and half and half and the beautiful Camellia that greated us on our arrival. John was available for any questions and a terrific host! We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely VRBO

My husband and I have stayed here 5 or 6 times in the past few years while visiting family in Santa Rosa. This is a one room Vrbo with a small kitchen area and a full bath. It is always clean and cozy. John always has half and half in the fridge and coffee for the coffee pot. He also has a bowl of chocolates, which is just a treat to come home to in the evening. Visitors are welcome to relax in a lovely backyard with beautiful flowers and a water feature. I just can’t say enough about the feeling of home we have here. Our family is moving from Santa Rosa to Md, and while I’m happy they are closer to us we will miss John and this lovely Vrbo. We can’t recommend it enough. We realized thru the years that there were places closer to the family’s house, but having stayed here once we were not interested in “moving.”

Super stay

Love staying in this cozy studio. It has everything i need in a peaceful setting. The fireplace provided cheery warmth with a flip of the switch. I sat in the comfy chair with the provided throw and enjoyed not having to go out in the rain. The little kitchenette is perfect for leftovers and snacks. John is a great host. I'll stay again anytime I'm in town!

Compact and well-equipped

Our stay was for the most part very good. The studio is well furnished and equipped. It offers great views and privacy. Our only quip are the stairs - we are over seventy and getting up and down two sets of stairs was a tad challenging. The place is small but well organized and perfect place to land for the night.

Perfect retreat

The property was well located in a quiet neighborhood, convenient to stores, and restaurants and the family we were visiting. Everything in the property was neat and clean and properly stocked with necessities and a few goodies. The room was well laid out and very cozy. We could not take advantage of the beautiful yard because of weather.

Super cute; close to vineyards

Perfect little hideaway right in Santa Rosa. Close proximity to vineyards, restaurants…and great size for me and my husband for our weekend getaway. John was super nice and helped us get situated (since I missed that part of the message on which unit it was- lol)- but we all took it in stride and adjusted. I was a bit embarrassed…but he was great about it

Quiet, clean, well thought out rental.

John is a warm friendly host who created a well appointed, clean spacious studio with ample kitchen space and access to a lovely backyard. We enjoyed breakfast in the yard seated under a shade structure listening to songbirds and a fountain. It’s a perfect location for a Sonoma vacation located in a quiet neighborhood.
