Loved this cottage. Bed was very comfortable and enjoyed having the extra space and a kitchen compared to getting a hotel room. It was also immaculate. Would recommend.

We stayed in cottage 1. Very clean. Bedsheets were incredibly soft. Location was nice being so close to the mercantile. Purchase a few gifts, coffees, breakfast and 2 recommended bottles of wine.

We especially enjoyed sitting in the landscaped common area courtyard by the large fountain. We hiked the Sonoma Overlook Trail earlier and relaxed with a glass of wine there in that courtyard. This was New Year’s Eve, so we are eager to return in the Spring when the weather is even better.

Great for families!
We loved our cottage! It was close to downtown (though it's a bit hard to walk with no side-walks for the beginning), clean, cute, great for families, and had all the amenities we needed. Communication was great. The stairs are quite loud and you can hear everything throughout the cottage (voice, upstairs walking, etc). Overall - amazing!! We'll be back!

Cozy, private space for couples!
These cottages are great for a couples getaway. We have stayed in Sonoma dozens of times and typically stay in a hotel. This place was quiet, cozy and had all of the amenities needed, including a small kitchen. The price was amazing for the privacy and location, just a quick 5 minute Uber to downtown and wineries.

Sonoma’s best cottages was the perfect place for our weekend girls trip! The cottage was cozy and easy to access and the kitchen was stocked with all necessary items if you wanted to cook. The housekeepers were wonderful and always said hello when they saw guests outside. There was an option to provide an additional tip for the housekeepers if you wanted, however, we saw the envelope too late and didn’t have cash on us, so keep that in mind if you book! I will absolutely be booking again for any future trips to Sonoma and highly recommending experiencing the city starting with these cottages!

Great stay!!
We arrived super late for our one night stay, after a road trip. With the notes that were provided, it was still extremely seamless to find our way in. There were nice touches around the whole space and everything felt thought out! Great location with the cute store/deli out front and was near the town square. Overall, very pleased!!

This cottage was good, there were pros and cons. Pros: clean, designated parking spot, grocery store onsite with hot food, less expensive than other stays in Sonoma, nice little garden area. Cons: my husband is 6'5'' and his head almost hit the ceiling in the cottage, it is dark and small inside, there is not central heat or air so we were either very cold or very hot, they provide a wall heating unit and a space heater, the water heater is very very small and after my husband took a 3 minute shower I got a 5 minute shower before we lost all hot water.

My friend and I really enjoyed our stay at the cottage! It was bigger than we had envisioned from the pictures and was so clean. We loved having the living room with a tv and a kitchen too. Check-in with the keypad on the door was super easy. The cottages are next to Sonoma’s Best, a wine/coffee/ breakfast/souvenir shop, which was very convenient. I’d say downtown Sonoma is just out of walking distance but we made do with driving ourselves or taking Lyft/Uber. Each cottage has a designated parking spot and everything is behind a gate which makes you feel really safe. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Stayed here for the Napa to Sonoma 1/2 marathon. Location was perfect and one mile from the finish line! Also, attached to the cutest wine store with delicious sandwiches. This location was so much more than I thought it would be!

The cabins are in a very quiet area on the edge of town under two miles to the plaza. Our few questions were answered quickly by Sergio, a very helpful guy. The general store is well stocked in terms of snacks, coffee and wine. We plan to return soon.

Great location for us!
Our stay was great! Close enough to walk to the square. Comfortable beds, keyless check in, and we found the property exactly as advertised. The one thing that would have made it easier to cook was a couple of basics in the kitchen like salt and pepper and a scrub brush or sponge to wash dishes.

Cottage was quiet, close to shopping, resturants etc. Facilities were a little dated, bathroom had evidence of mold in and around shower. No exhaust fan or air freshner in bathroom. Walk way to front door needs work, rock was gone exposing irragation tubing which was a trip hazzard. Would still recomend due to reasonable pricing for the area.

Very private and quiet, comfortable with lots of room. Suitable to stay a few days or longer. Short drive to town. Cottage 3 is a small house, the only thing missing is laundry. The cottage itself could use modern updates to the kitchen and bath. The bed was comfortable in a good sized bedroom (you can slightly hear a rooster crow at sunrise), living room was comfortable, the kitchen is fine.

Cozy cottage in the heart of wine country
Perfect location and cozy cottage with everything you could need for a short or extended stay. Adjacent deli is great to grab breakfast or lunch, they do close at 3:00pm, but the wine shop is open until 5:00pm. Not too far to Sonoma Plaza, it can be walked. Also several wineries within walking distance. Cottage has great deck and BBQ if you want to eat in.

Adorable cottage. Nice to have the convenience of Sonoma’s Best Market just steps away. A little stuffy due to windows not opening and the road noise was pretty loud.
