Cottage vacation rentals in St. Helena

Ideal location near the amenities of Healdsburg yet remote enough to enjoy the solitude of Dry Creek Valley. Responsive and helpful host. Overall, just a great place to relax and recharge. The Elegant should be your next stay!

Magnificent gardens and setting, immaculate interior and super attention to character and detail, bery welcoming and homey, terrific outdoor spaces for sitting and dining

This is a charming place, beautifully kept with lovely furnishings. We really enjoyed the well appointed kitchen as we cooked every day. The yard and gardens are beautifully kept, peaceful and serene. Oranges growing right outside the house! We were in town for a wedding, and Santa Rosa is right in the middle of so many enjoyable things to do. We hiked on the CCT out past Bodega Bay, enjoyed restaurants in Healdsburg, visited the redwoods and shopped at the Barlow in Sebastopol. Thank you Cheryl for sharing your lovely home. We had a fabulous time!

What a beautiful place to stay! It has everything you need and is steps away from Sonoma Plaza , full of fun shopping and dining! The host was so nice and everything was very clear and easy. We will definitely be back!

Love this home. This is our second stay and we would definitely stay again.

We had the most incredible stay at Mama K’s! The property is absolutely stunning, nestled right on the Russian River with gorgeous views and a sense of peace that’s hard to describe. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely relaxed and at home. Also, the wildlife was great to watch out for! Many deer, birds (even eagles!) and foxes! The space was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully designed (lots of great updates!) with everything we needed. It was the perfect mix of comfort and charm, surrounded by nature’s beauty. Our dogs were in heaven! They loved exploring the property, lounging on the deck, and soaking up the fresh air. It’s not always easy to find a truly dog-friendly place that feels this special, but Mama K’s delivered on every level. We’re already planning our next visit. Thank you, Mama K, for sharing this magical place with us, we’ll definitely be back.

Beautiful property! It was breathtaking to sit on the lawn and just hang out. So welcoming and had everything you could need

We had a great time at The Cottage. It is well described in the listing, the place is a great place to chill and enjoy, especially the patio. It has everything you need (the listing mentions no stove but between all the other amenities and grill you can cook most things), is clean and very comfortable. The continental breakfast and cooking basics is a nice touch. We really liked our time there.

Beautiful, quiet, and cozy. Super responsive hosts. Would love to come back someday.

We had a wonderful girls’ weekend in Sonoma staying at this lovely cottage! The location is super walkable to both the square and to nice hiking trails. Everything was spotless and the beds were comfortable. Highly recommend!

This cute little cottage was such a pleasure to stay in. Amir was super responsive and did a great job finessing the details of the place to ensure comfort, coziness, and convenience. And everything was sparkling clean! You can tell he put a lot of thought in to making the place feel perfect. Absolutely loved it, would highly recommend a stay here. Trust the reviews :)

We had a wonderfully relaxing stay at Dennis and Dan’s amazing cottage! The view was amazing and the beach less than a 5 mins walk away. We walked down to the beach for long walks with our dogs twice daily, they had a ball! It’s wonderful to be able to let your dogs run off leash on a beach, there are so few places in CA that you can. We had planned on venturing out but found ourselves glued to the deck people watching, listening to the waves and chilling out. The cottage was immaculate! We’ve never stayed in a place that is so well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The hosts have literally thought of everything! We couldn’t leave without first booking for next year.

I had the very BEST stay at Mark's place! Everything about the stay was magical - the cottage was quaint and lovely, surrounded by redwoods. Mark's hospitality was of the very best I have seen...he was so kind, helpful and caring and lovely to talk with during the stay. He cares so much and wants to make sure his guests have the best experience. And wow the baked goods are incredible! This was the best mini retreat I could have imagined..I will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time at Carolyn’s place. We loved spending a day on her deck overlooking the lake - so beautiful. We also took advantage of her fire table out front. She also had a sturdy fold out table for dining - we initially didn’t see it in the pictures but she actually had everything we needed to enjoy a full meal around a table. Bonus points that we could fold it away for more space when not using! Carolyn was also very responsive and checked in daily on how we were doing. Would love to come back!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Stinson Beach. The house is stylish, comfortable, and incredibly well-located—just half a block from the beach. Everything was set up to make our time there feel easy and relaxing, and it was exactly the getaway we needed. We’re already looking forward to coming back. Thank you for the warm hospitality! —Andrew & Amy

This cottage was lovely! The beds and linens were clean, comfortable, and well appointed. Everything was welcoming and cozy. Gorgeous fresh cut flowers were all around along with a gift of delicious local cheese, fresh fruit and crackers. And there were even treats for the dog. The kitchen and the espresso and coffee makers were perfect. The host was amazing, kind, thoughtful, and responsive. Such a clean, well kept, cozy, and tastefully decorated cottage. We enjoyed our stay very much, everything was perfect and as described…even better!

Wow! This property is absolutely stunning. Private and peaceful, it’s straight out of a magazine! Just 6 minutes from the most beautiful hiking trail, Goodlove Trail and just minutes to drive to some of the most beautiful wineries! We truly enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again!

Amazing location right by the lakeside and a beautiful well-equipped house. We could see ducks and swans coming out of the water onto the backyard right from the dining table! Would love to come here again. Thanks for being a great host, Barbara.

Absolutely adorable place, a lot of land, very green and a big huge cypress tree with swings and a tree house! Very nice cottage, new construction, well insulated and cozy. LOVED IT!!!

This was our second long-term stay (each stay being several weeks) at the Sunset Serene Cottage and we will definitely be coming back for more. Consider this as your home away from home. The location and the view cannot be beat. The house is perfect for us as a couple - bedroom, kitchen, living room, and bathroom have everything you need for a relaxing and convenient stay. It’s surrounded by so much nature, and it was wonderful to have a busy day and then come home to this oasis. Neighborhood is also very safe and we took many walks to enjoy the view of the Bay. We thank Albena and Nikolay for promptly responding to our queries and for generously accommodating our special requests. Already planning our next visit! 🌅🏡💕

This was our second time staying at Red Door Retreat and we had another great visit. As before everything was exactly as pictured and described. Checkin was very smooth and communication with Brett was great. We particularly enjoyed the several nice outdoor spaces and the hot tub. Quiet setting but short drive to local attractions and Guerneville town center. Highly recommended!

This home is an architectural & experiential gem in the hills above Berkeley. The house itself is a marvel, with lots of artistic details, and the outdoor space has ample places to enjoy the sun as it moves through the sky during the day. The views of the Bay are exceptional, and the overall surroundings are really peaceful. Bonnie is an excellent host, she's responsive and thoughtful, especially with offering lots of local recommendations. So grateful to enjoy this beautiful home!

Great space! Beautiful and charming.

We just finished 5 nights at this place and found it to suit us perfectly. The cabin was well stocked and so clean. Communication was promptly answered, even when I wasn't paying attention to their clearly written instructions. Our mornings were most enjoyable sitting on the deck and watching the waves rolling into shore. It was a short walk down the street and to the shore for walks along the beach. Coming from Wisconsin this was a delightful treat. We were in the area for a wedding and found the drive to Sebastopol, as well as up and down Highway 1 a fun exploration. We would love to come back.
