We would like to extend a HUGE thank you to Maurine and the hosts of this AirBNB! This house is truly a gem and exceeded our expectations!

707 BARREL LOUNGE Cottage

AmberRating, 5 stars1 week ago
If you're looking for a quiet place to unwind and relax, we HIGHLY recommend Barrel Lounge. Whether you want to chill in the hot tub, lay in the pool, or lounge on the deck while grillin' out, this place has it all. Beyond the amenities, the hosts, Kathy and Jim are incredible. They were very accommodating, providing everything we could have needed. They are two of the most kind-hearted people. Every interaction with them was a delight. Top notch experience: 1000/100 as our son would say. Many thanks to Kathy and Jim for making our honeymoon one that we'll never forget.

Amy's Local BNB - walk to town **and hot tub!**

AngelaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We loved our two nights at Amy’s place with our two pups! I wish we would have planned to stay longer, there was a lot more to explore in the area! It was SO clean. We usually feel like we need to re-clean just to feel ok in Airbnb’s but Amy’s place felt like we were staying at a friend’s place that we trusted. The homemade delivered muffins were a treat and she gave us some awesome local recommendations. The bed was comfortable and it was super quiet!

Modern and Luxe: Studio455 (+bikes)

AmyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had an excellent time in the Sonoma area and the stay at Kate’s was wonderful. The space was actually larger and more spacious than I expected and was very nicely appointed. Perfect for a couple! The cottage is in a very quiet neighborhood and the grounds the cottage is on are beautiful. We spent nearly everyday out and about in Sonoma and Napa and the cottage is in great location to experience both areas. Easy driving and about 10 minutes to downtown Sonoma. It was nice to open the french doors in the morning with a cup of coffee to hear the sounds of the morning birds. We truly enjoyed the quiet of this location after long days of wine tasting and exploring busier areas. We would certainly stay again and recommend this location to other travelers. We miss Sonoma already!

The Hideaway at Berry Patch Cottage

JamesRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Jeri's place is amazing and exactly as described, but in some ways better since you get to meet Jeri. Complete privacy, it's super dark and a stone's throw from Point Reyes. Bed was comfortable, good internet even with spotty cell service in the Point Reyes area. Jeri's communications were great even with a PG&E issue. I'd highly recommend and we're already looking at weekends to be back. And yes, I've stayed in many places in Marin and Sonoma county and Point Reyes might be my favorite and Jeri's place was great!

This was my second stay at Ewa's cottage. She is a wonderful host. Perfect location. We had planned to eat at a number of restaurants but the Tap Room , which was about 2 miles away, was so good we kept returning for their specials. I highly recommend this listing and look foward to my next stay.

Spa Setting at Gateway to West Marin

JillianRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Nancy was the nicest and most accommodating host we’ve had at a rental so far. We arrived late one evening when I realized I misplaced the dinner I’d packed to eat when we arrived and when I asked Nancy (who was greeting us when we first arrived) about pizza delivery options, she offered us a nice frozen cornbread pizza to cook in the rental. My hungry young son was so relieved. The backyard overlooks an incredibly green and peaceful hillside and we had such a relaxing time. Also downtown Fairfax is so close by and so adorable. Would love to come back!

If you have a chance to book one of Jenny's properties, I would encourage you to do so. Of all the hosts we have encountered, she is the best. The suite was spotless and thoughtfully appointed with everything someone could want during their stay. The grounds of her home were just beautiful, a welcomed retreat from the outside world. In addition, Jenny was an incredibly resposive host. She provided great recommendation and suggestions for our visit. She was also incredibly kind to my daughter. Thank you Jenny for your warmth in welcoming is to your home.

Wine Country Gem - Sonoma Cottage with Pool Oasis

Eliza's place was wonderful for us (two parents and a 4 month old baby) for a weekend - we had everything we needed and it was incredibly easy to check in and out. Eliza and her family were there and great to spend time with, but we also felt we had space to ourselves to rest and relax. We will hopefully be back!

*Heated* Swimming Pool Retreat Near Sonoma Square

BlairRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a great stay at this spacious and well-equipped home in Sonoma! The house had everything we needed, and the outdoor space was a definite highlight—clean, warm pool and a beautiful area to relax in. Check-in was super easy, and the door code worked without any issues. The location was perfect for our trip—we used a local driving service to take us to wineries in Napa, which worked out really well. A few small things to note: the beds weren’t the most comfortable, and one of the twin beds was pretty squeaky. We also would’ve appreciated more towels since there were four of us. The en-suite shower could use some attention—it’s older and came across a bit dingy. Overall, it was a solid stay and we’d definitely consider coming back!

Happy House Getaway - Pool, Hot Tub & Wine Country

BertrandRating, 5 stars1 day ago
We really enjoyed our stay at the Happy House! The pool was large and fantastic, perfect for relaxing. The kitchen was beautiful and very well stocked with everything we needed. The house was spotless, and the neighborhood felt quiet and safe. Both the garden and front yard were lovely, and the pool area was especially private thanks to the high fence. Brook was incredibly friendly, always checked in to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay, and promptly answered all our questions. She was very helpful throughout our visit. Highly recommend!
