Very nice guest house on a beautiful property on a quiet street. It was about 30 minute walk to the square, not bad, though some areas of the walk did not have sidewalks but the shoulders are wide. The shower is a little odd and I don't think I'd want to use it to wash long thick hair, but it's good for a general wash over r weekend. Would definitely stay here again.

Small kitchenette, nice private patio with three patio umbrellas and a table. Very convenient to Sonoma and Napa wineries. Tub with wrap-around curtain for showering. Large bedroom with comfortable King mattress.

Great location and accommodations

Great location, stocked with tea, coffee, hair dryer and some toiletries. Joe and his adorable dog Fergus were very welcoming and also gave us privacy, despite the VRBO being a guesthouse on their property. Would definitely stay here again.
