Perfect, quiet Thanksgiving getaway!

We were so happy to spend a quiet Thanksgiving trip at Henry and Julie's wonderful VRBO on their horse ranch! We brought our dog and it was perfectly set-up to enjoy the space and neighborhood with her. The enclosed front yard made it easy to travel with a dog. Inside the guest house we had everything we could ever need to feel right at home. We would love to stay again!

Wonderful!

If you need a perfect place to stay in Sonoma Valley, this is it! The location is perfect for visiting wineries, going to the beach, and going to all the nearby plazas. The cottage is spacious and comfortable and has everything you need. We loved talking to Julie and Henry (and Olivia) and getting recommendations of places to eat and see. My husband especially enjoyed talking to Henry (and feeding the fish!) and was amazed at all he had done.We’ll definitely stay there again next time we’re in that area!

Wine lover's paradise for two

This place is so amazing! It's located very near to at least 3 of our favorite wineries. The accommodations are wonderful! The kitchen has everything you need to create that special meal, plus lots of coffees and teas to choose from. The living area is very roomy and comfortable. The bathroom is more than you'd expect with double sinks, large mirror, and plenty of linens. The owners are very helpful and available whenever you need anything. This was our second stay here, and we hope to be back again.

I ❤️ Ross Creek Ranch

We had a lovely stay at the Ross Creek Ranch Boarders Lounge. The studio is very large and well appointed and the hosts provide tons of items to make it feel like home (kitchen has all the needed tools and staples, extra plush towels, soap/shampoo/conditioner/hand soap, plush robes etc). Location is in the middle of Graton, very convenient to Sebastopol, Santa Rosa, Forestville, Guerneville, Bodega etc. The apartment is in the middle of a working horse ranch making it feel rustic. I enjoyed having my coffee on the front porch behind the privacy fence with the fountains and birds.

Charming Escape

I feel like our stay at this charming cottage was like an Eagles song, just a peaceful easy feeling . When you come inside the gates of the ranch, you enter your own private world. The cottage is a warm open comfortable space, stocked with everything you need. If you are traveling with your furry friend, the yard is full inclosed. A great location for exploring the Sonoma wine country. Julie and Henry are wonderful hosts and Champ and Kirby are cute and friendly. Champ would drop by for visits with our furry friend, was wonderful. We look forward to coming back again.

Great place to stay convenient and centrally located!

We loved our stay at this cute studio cottage. It is centrally located with wineries, dining, and shopping closeby. It is very quiet and a nice place to come back to after a day of adventures around wine country. The hosts were very nice and communication was great. They provided welcom snacks and wine which were greatly appreciated after a long day of travel to get there. I enjoyed walking out to pet the horses which was an added bonus! This place was clean and well stocked with anything we would need. Would definately stay again!

Best VRBO ever!

My husband and I have stayed in many vrbo's in the last 10+ yrs. I have to say that this is the cleanest, the most wonderfully unique place we've stayed in. It's located in a quiet area surrounded by vineyards and our favorite wineries. My husband has been a wine connoisseur for over 40 years, and we've grown to love our annual visits to northern California. During our 5-day stay, we visited 7 wineries! When we weren't visiting wineries, we were able to enjoy the "Boarders Lounge" with all of its conveniences and amenities. We especially loved visiting the horses and picking the blackberries that were in season and plentiful. Henry and my husband are about the same age and became fast friends, enjoying long chats whenever they saw each other. Julie and Henry are excellent hosts. We enjoyed our visit so much that we're hoping to stay again next year.

Beautiful West Wine Country Stay

What a great stay outside of Sebastopol at this wonderful, very large studio. Julie was such a friendly and thoughtful host (Henry was out of town). When I said we needed a cooler, she provided one of her own for us. There were so many other thoughtful touches such as wine and snacks. The bed was comfy and there were extra blankets and pillows, comfy couches, and a great TV! A nice walking trail is nearby and the horses on the ranch were fun to visit. There are plenty of wonderful wineries nearby and Healdsburg is only about 20 minutes away. Thanks for a great time, Julie!

Escape to Ross

I would give Location 8 out of 5 stars if I could. Quiet, private, and so close to excellent cycling and restaurants. Our dog Miles loved this place, with its fenced in yard and a pasture to chase the ball in. Julie was accommodating when it came to extending our stay (several times). I appreciate her efforts and her attention to detail. It made our stay delightful!

Shelter from the storm

We came to get out of the winter of 23 snow storms. We live in the Sierras and would be totally snow bound if we didn't make it to beautiful Sonoma County. Then, the mountain passes all closed and we could not get home.....so we extended our stay at this beautiful place for another 10 days! EXCELLENT access to epic bicycle rides and all types of dining. Quiet, peaceful......and our dog Miles loved it here. I can not give this VRBO high enough praise. Spacious, private, and so comfortable. I will book this place EVERY time I'm in Sonoma County.

Magical Ranch

We had the most lovely time at the Ranch. Julie is an exceptional host that goes above and beyond expectations. Everything was cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed taking a morning stroll visiting the horses and walking the grounds. If you’re lucky Mellisa will be teaching a class you can watch and learn her next level horsemanship. The location is perfect. We would love to stay there again!

Relaxing week on the ranch

Julie and Henry are wonderful hosts! Upon arrival, Julie and Henry had a bottle of wine, cheese and crackers waiting for us. I asked Julie if the kitchen had baking dishes and she made sure I had what I needed. We brought our dog with us and they put together a container with dog blankets and toys! Henry invited my husband to take our dog to the horse arena where she could play ball and run. We will be back the next time we visit our family. Thank You!!!!!

Great Place for Exploring the Russian River Valley

Julie and Henry's cottage was perfect for our trip! It had everything we needed, and they gave us lots of suggestions for exploring the surrounding vinyards. We walked to three wineries and a restaurant, all within a couple miles off the nearby West County Trail. There are vinyards and apple orchards in every direction. The kitchen was well equipped for preparing meals, which we ate al fresco at the tables in the yard. If you like wine and walking, friendly hosts and comfortable accommodations, this place is perfect!

Perfect place for a Wine Country Vacation

This is a fantastic property with wonderful hosts! My husband and I recently stayed for a week of relaxation in beautiful wine country. Having visited the area several times before, we were looking for a comfortable place in the Forestville/Sebastapol area and the pictures and reviews of this property made it seem like a perfect fit for our needs. Upon arrival, it exceeded our expectations. The cottage is clean, spacious and quite comfortable. Julie and Henry are dedicated and generous hosts who have truly thought of everything. Having stayed at many VRBO properties over the years, we have learned that experiences and amenities can vary widely from one rental to the next. This cottage came equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again on our next visit to the area. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for an exceptional experience!

About the host

Hosted by Julie Hunter

Henry and I are very proud of the accommodations and amenities that we are able to provide through VRBO. We want our guests to know that our top priority is providing 5-Star service in every way. We affectionately refer to the cottage as the "Boarder's Lounge", since resident horse owners used to gather there. It has now transformed into an elegant, yet rustic chic, home-away-from-home. We look forward to being your hosts!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this country property, primarily because of its quiet location and pastoral views. Even though we are surrounded by nature, we are close to everything that matters. Visitors to our ranch always feel at home here.

What makes this property unique

In addition to being centrally located to so many marvelous places & activities that Sonoma County has to offer, we are right across the street from the West County Trail (perfect for walking, jogging and bicycling)!
