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

Wildlife Viewing from Creekside Deck w/Bikes In The Heart Of The Wine Country!

Take in all the Wine Country has to offer from this private, centrally located cozy apartment overlooking Sonoma Creek! With nearby great wineries, tasting rooms, restaurants, and shops, you'll find lots to enjoy in the area. Ride into Sonoma Plaza on the Sonoma Bike Trail with the 2 complimentary bicycles parked in the shed!

Please note! For a reservation to be accepted, you MUST tell us a bit about who's staying, and what brings you to the Wine Country.

Guests who book during the winter / rainy season may get a special whitewater treat! Since the Bungalow is overlooking Sonoma Creek, you will enjoy an exciting show if there is a rainstorm, and the tranquil creek gets a little more exciting! Part of the deck is covered, so you can enjoy a thrill during a rainstorm! (Don't worry, you are safely high above the creek in the ravine below.)

The Bungalow (Sonoma TOT Cert # 1436N ) features a beautiful kitchen, hardwood floors, a cozy gas 'Franklin' stove for cool nights,, and a sumptuous new Beautyrest queen bed and awesome high thread count Egyptian cotton sheets. Fast internet, cable and internet-enabled TV let you watch cable TV or stream movies. While the apartment is delightfully furnished (we own a furniture store!), the real attraction is the deck overlooking the creek. From here, you can sit for hours watching the steady stream of wildlife (deer, mostly) as they make their way along the trails along the year-round creek. When the rains start, the creek goes from a lazy creek to a roaring stream - with rapids just a bit past the bungalow, giving great sound effects. The deck features comfortable patio furniture and an optional gas firepit to enjoy a glass of wine around at the end of a busy day!

The Queen bed is a new Beautyrest that is moderately firm. (Note: Some have said it is too soft. Some have said its too firm. It is what it is!) The bed is covered with an Organic Cotton mattress protector/pad. High thread count Egyptian cotton sheets complete the ensemble. Spare blankets and pillows are in the closet.

The bathroom features a curved glass shower enclosure and a newly tiled shower. We have just added a Bidet Toilet - we tried one at a Vacation Rental ourselves and loved it - so we added one for you to enjoy as well! It features a heated seat and warm water. Heavenly!

While there are so many activities nearby, we expect that at least one of the days of your visit you'll grab a couple of bottles of wine and want to spend the whole day at the cozy Lazy Oak Creekside Bungalow, enjoying the magical surroundings!

** NOTE** MAX OVERNIGHT OCCUPANCY - 2 PERSONS ONLY ** (Including children)

IMPORTANT NOTE: To ensure your booking request is accepted, please be sure to tell us a little about WHO is staying, WHERE you are from, and WHAT brings you to the Wine Country! You can read about who we are in our VRBO profile, so its a 2-way privacy street!
Coin Laundry machine is located outside the unit under cover.

Beautiful location, and we really enjoyed our time there. We loved biking around and sitting on the deck by the river! The fire alarms would go off even without smoke (promise we're good cooks haha) every time we used the stove, so we had to open all the windows each time, but it was manageable once we figured that out. Overall a super cute bungalow!

This place is a must stay! The neighborhood it’s in is adorable. The creek is right out the deck and is a beautiful setting, not to mention the sound. And I fell in love with the heated toilet seat and shower door!I would live here if I could.

The bungalow was a secluded gem in a very cool neighborhood. Check-in was a breeze, and the running creek truly relaxing. One morning we walked about a mile to the Verano Cafe and had a delicious breakfast. I did have a question for Michael, and emailed/messaged him. His response seemed a bit extended but he explained that he was out of country/different time zone. Strongly recommend!
