We had a wonderful stay in this lovely, historic home over the Christmas holidays. The house has great character and charm, and its location is ideal as it just a short walk to the downtown area with shops, restaurants and local attractions.Our host, Frank, was terrific. He was responsive, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our stay. Additionally, he provided us with welcome snacks!

My wife and I had a relaxing 10 day stay in this home in Petaluma, and would recommend it to anyone who wants to unwind and explore the area. The location is ideal. It's in a quiet neighborhood with only a 10-15 walk to great restaurants and shopping. And Petaluma is an ideal home base for exploring wine country, redwoods, and the coast. The home itself is great too. Loved the large bedrooms and comfortable beds. Frank is friendly and responsive and keeps the home clean and maintained. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Frank

Host profile image
Father of three adults, I have lived in Petaluma for over 20 years and feel this is a wonderful part of the world. I enjoy hosting meeting new people and working on improving my home.

Why they chose this property

This location is hard to beat. Just close enough to walk downtown but not to close to the noise and congestion a popular town like Petaluma will bring. Public transportation is 4 blocks away and close to boutique shopping, theater district, are all walkable and wineries are located in and around Petaluma/ Sonoma County.
