You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Family Friendly Sonoma County Home

Sonoma County is open and we invite you to come visit. Restaurants are open to outdoor dining. Stores, beaches, attractions and wineries are open.

This home is ideal if you’re looking for a comfortable home away from home. Located in Historical Petaluma in the heart of Sonoma Valley Wine County. You’ll be minutes from great dining, boutiques and antiques and only 30 miles to SF, the coast or Napa Valley.

You’ll fall in love with the town and feel at home in this lovely house. It’s set it up for families/ friends to relax and entertain without leaving the yard yet close enough to walk downtown or take a quick ride to see the sights.

We do not allow large gatherings . We also ask that you respect the neighbors with no loud music in the yard. Park in the driveway or garage, three cars maximum.

This lovely place has all the comforts of home. You will love all the room for people to spread out to read a book, watch the birds or relax in the hot tub. It also has large spaces to gather for a meal in the dining room or play a game while enjoying a cozy fire in the living room.

The top deck is our Happy Place; just relax, flip on the fireplace and watch the stars. You may find yourself out there for hours enjoying the quiet, the fresh air and each other’s company. You’ll feel like you’re in the country with nothing but the sound of birds to distract you (or an occasional fox family if they come out to play).

If you have children, they will love the kids room, set up with a bunk bed and trundle, toys and a TV of their own (with the remote out of reach). For little ones there are shutters on the window for nap time and we can have a crib available to you as needed. The backyard is child friendly and large enough for a game of tag or hide and seek. Just watch them around the pool, it’s not fenced. If they get dirty, you can rinse them off in the outdoor shower.

All of the beds are set up with comfort in mind with quilts, comforters and plenty of pillows to help you get a great nights sleep.

The outdoor kitchen and bbq is a great alternative to dining out. With a lovely seating area and gas fire pit, you can grab a friend and chat while dinner is cooking.

The house is stocked with many amenities including spaces, condiments, shampoo, conditioner, blow dryers, etc.

The yard gets sun all day. The valley blocks the wind so even if it’s cold in town, it will be warmer in the yard.

The pool isn’t heated. It’s warm in the summer and cold in the winter.

We back up to a graveyard. Check out the pictures, we love the view and the quiet.

There is a wood stove for a fire in the living room and wood on the side of the house. The family room fireplace is gas and easy to start. Instructions are in the manual for the deck heaters and we will have spare propane.

All the TVs are set up for netflix, etc. We don’t have cable. We do have WiFi

We will send house rules and access information when you book your stay.

Great family get away
The house is roomy and beautiful. We especially enjoyed the pool and sitting outside. Petaluma is adorable & great to wander; bookstores, farmer's market, and great breweries and restaurants. Neighborhood is good for walking.

Wonderful place
Beautiful home. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, spices, etc. Outdoor kitchen is top of the line. Had a toddler with us and she was impressed with all the toys. Host was quick to respond to questions. Petaluma is a cool little town with many restaurants and close to Sonoma, Napa and the coast. Have used VRBO many times and this is without a doubt the best experience we've had. Would highly recommend.

Relaxing get-away
Stayed here for 4 nights on a girls' get-away with our dog. It is very peaceful in the neighborhood and the house has everything needed, including stuff you forget you'll need. The beds are cozy and all the spaces to relax are comfortable. The host is thoughtful, proactive, and was quick to answer any questions. You're in good hands staying there. We'd go back for sure. My teenage daughter was sad to leave and had a great time.

Hidden Gem Indeed!
Wow! This house was fully stocked with everything we needed. Nancy was very responsive to questions and we had a wonderful visit. The house has so many places to gather we didn’t even use them all. If you’re bringing children, they will love all the toys and the yard. My granddaughter kept calling it a park. I highly recommend this house for anyone to stay. There’s a bedroom on the main level for people who have trouble with stairs and a bunk bed for kids, along with 2 other bedrooms with very comfortable beds. Thank you for sharing your beautiful hidden gem.

Best ever
I had a wonderful vacation at this rental. It was the best ever. Fully appointed. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook delicious meals. The living room was cozy and comfortable as was the family room. The bedrooms were spacious and had plenty of storage space. The bathrooms were clean and had all the essentials. The rental also had great amenities such as a pool, a hot tub, plenty of games, even a well stocked library. I enjoyed relaxing and having fun with my family and friends. The rental was clean and perfect. The neighborhood was incredibly quiet. Very close to downtown Petaluma with lots of great restaurants. Close to a supermarket. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great vacation. Even my dog has a wonderful time.

Best VRBO we’ve ever stayed at!
Beautiful home that came with every possible amenity! Our group included an active 5 yo, who LOVED the kid bunk bed, toy-filled closet, and outdoor playhouse, and a mobility impaired great-grandmother who LOVED being able to sit on the spacious upper deck and enjoy the sun, flowers, and garden below. Other adults enjoyed the garden and hot-tub. The home was stocked with literally everything we needed- including pool towels, sunscreen, and toiletries! We actually put our travel supply box back in the car. Didn’t need it. We were in Petaluma for my daughter’s wedding and this place was the perfect headquarters for wedding prep- lots of room to lay out decor/supplies and fridge room for storing leftovers. The neighborhood is quiet and the house is centrally located so it only took us minutes to get to local stores and to our guests’ hotels to greet and deliver welcome bags. Our host was gracious and super-responsive, even texting to see how our check-in went. We all agreed that this place exceeded our expectations! It gets our highest recommendation!

Fantastic Family getaway!
This property was beyond perfect for our family reunion gathering. Absolutely no amenity was spared. We had everything we needed and then some. Nancy was a fantastic host and checked in to insure we were settled in well. We have family in the area and will definitely plan on staying again on future visits.

Incredible Vacation Home
We were in town for my sister’s wedding, and thus home couldn’t have been more perfect for us. We had the best time. The location is incredible and the home far exceeded our expectations. It was so well stocked and we had everything we needed. The pool and hot tub and backyard were loved by everyone in our groups, kids and adults alike. I’d highly recommend this home, and Nancy was a pleasure to work with from our initial booking until our stay ended. We can’t wait to return.

Perfect holiday house
My husband and I rented this lovely home for Thanksgiving weekend. It was so comfortable and cheerful. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped and the bedrooms are very comfortable. Our grandsons took turns staying with us (they live not far away) and they enjoyed it too. We would rent this place again in a minute! Since our daughter and family live nearby, we undoubtedly will. The owner, Nancy, was very considerate and helpful.
