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

Quick drive to the charming Sonoma Plaza and a 3 block walk to the Fairmont.

This is a quaint 3 bedroom home built in 1921; once a summer cottage in the days when Sanfranciscans would come up to soak in the healing waters of AquaCaliente/Fetters Springs. It is in an older part of Sonoma, but just 2.5miles from the charming downtown Sonoma Square and just 3 blocks to the Sonoma Mission Inn(aka Fairmont). There are some local dining spots within walking distance of my home. The neighborhood is great for morning walks, or evening strolls with a glass of wine (yes, we do that here in Sonoma :)). I've got the best neighbors anyone could ever ask for. My front and back porches are wonderful for hanging out and relaxing. It is a wonderful little neighborhood and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

This house has an upstairs Master Bedroom with a very comfortable Queen sized bed and separate bathroom with shower. The downstairs has a Full Bed and an attached Bathroom with a claw foot tub, and another small bedroom with a twin bed. I keep my place vacation rental ready, and invite you to use my home as your own (mi casa, su casa!). I am a short few blocks away, and if I am away, I am always available for my guests by phone/text should you have any questions.

There is also a second unit on the property that I rent out also. You are welcome to book them both for larger parties! www.vrbo.com/1253443

Cute Sonoma Getaway
We loved our time in this cute house! Lots of character, great outdoor spaces, close to downtown Sonoma but in a nice quiet neighborhood. Great access to all of the activities we wanted to do. It was a little warm with no AC, but I think we were there the hottest week of the summer and it was still manageable. We really enjoyed our stay!

Cozy and Fun Little Home Away from Home
We met the property owner on site and the home matched her dynamic and extremely creative personality. She was excellent with regards to communication and local recommendations and made us all feel right at home. It was the “homiest” VRBO we’ve ever booked…not fancy by any means, but charming and very cozy.

Home Sweet Home
This home is a Gem. It is clean and very comfortable. It's like going to your favorite aunt's house. Doesn't feel like an older home at all. The home has a nice flow, lots of space to move around. The front porch gets the morning sun and is perfect for reading a book(which I actually did). My trip was short so I did not make it to the back yard oasis. It is truly one of the best features on the home. There are several nearby stores to pick up groceries. We went to whole foods(about 7 minutes by car). So so many good restaurants. Few of the ones we liked were: The girl and the fig, Cafe La Haye, Della Santina's. All were very very delicious. I will definitely be back and definitely stay here again in a heart beat!!!

Close to everything!
Small, quaint but good home for the 5 of us. Easy drive to downtown and lots of great wineries. It was hot one day and into the evening with no a/c but they have fans to help cool the home down and for sleeping it was about 59 degrees by 11pm.

The house was amazing and the owner, Lorene, was so welcoming.
There were 4 of us staying in the house and it was more than adequate with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There are wonderful knickknacks throughout the house, eye catching pictures and all in all - a real delight. You notice something different depending on where you sit. There is a sheltered front porch with a picturesque front yard and a sheltered back deck with comfy sofas and chairs. And if that isn't enough, the back yard is quite large with a BBQ and large seating/dining area. We definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to visit the area. A memorable visit.

Wonderful Visit to the Shrangri-la
This is a wonderful, inviting home. Seems the perfect setting for a wine country visit. Lorene was a wonderful host and checked in throughout our stay to ensure everything was going well. I was considering a 4 rating as we were there during the hottest days (historically) of summer and the home does not have AC. (Many of the homes in the Napa and entire Bay area don't have central air. These luxuries have not been necessary in past years). Lorene graciously provided a mobile air unit that helped, but it was tough against 110+ degree temperatures and as a result of her hospitality I will go with a full 5-star rating of our stay. We would absolutely book this property again.

Amazing quaint home with lots of character & all the comforts of home.
Lorene's place was the perfect venue for our trip for the Napa to Sonoma half marathon. Her place was great, & she was an amazing host with lots of good recommendations & things to make our stay as great as possible. Would definitely stay here again!
