    We were only able to stay in Sonoma one night but glad we chose this place to do. The grounds of the house/cottages are gorgeous. The location was very convenient, and service/attentiveness from the staff was superb. Cute little breakfast in the garden in the morning. We'd recommend this to anyone.

    We thought the room was very quaint, and romantic. The staff made you feel like you were in your own home. We had the Wood Cutters Cottage which had its own access, so it was like your very own. We were minutes from our dining reservation, and the square to visit the next day. The breakfast in the morning was cozy out on your own patio where everthing was already on the table on tine from their very friendly staff. they brought you as much as you wanted as requested. and it was totally private with your spouse. Nice!! I will go back there. Very relaxing!!By the way, order one of there packages. Very affordable!!

    We (mother and daughter) loved our stay at this charming inn! The gardens are beautiful and inviting! The owner was very accommodating to my daughter's food allergies. We will come again!
