About this property

This quaint, secluded garden flat is located in the heart of the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County.

Available for extended short-term stays only (31 days or more).

Enjoy the privacy of our newly remodeled, 1,200 square foot apartment in a charming 1950’s duplex. It’s ideal for those looking for a quiet, country setting while staying just minutes away from Sonoma County’s many attractions.

We offer guests a very clean, cozy guesthouse with comfortable queen-size beds, a separate office & lounge area where you can work or unwind and listen to the fun collection of vinyl records, a full kitchen (best suited for light cooking), a relaxing outdoor space in the private backyard (the perfect place for enjoying your coffee or a glass of wine), and a light-filled bathroom that features a spacious, modern farmhouse brick tiled shower.

We have a small, specialty cut flower farm on our 2 1/2 acre property, Cake Flower Farm (www.cakeflowerfarm.com). We use organic growing practices and currently have an assortment of flowers planted, such as garden roses, hydrangeas, dahlias, peonies, bearded iris, heirloom chrysanthemums and heirloom pumpkins. We also have beehives on site, as well as a small flock of very cute chickens. Although, the guesthouse area is private, there will be times when we will be running the tractor out in the flower field or you may see us in our beekeeper suits checking on the honeybees.

Wonderful place with great hosts

We stayed for a month and wished we could have stayed longer. The place feels newly renovated and is designed and equipped with a lot of attention to detail, the surroundings are beautiful and it is a joy just to hang. Janet and Pony are wonderful people. Highly recommended! Make sure you introduce yourself to Ziggy! ;-)

There for work but it didn't feel like it :)

I had an extended stay at the Cake Flower Farm. Janet and Pony were amazing hosts. Very accommodating but also very careful to preserve your privacy. The apartment is beautiful and well stocked with everything you would need. Janet has thought of everything. I really enjoyed my time there.

Cakeflower Garden Flat

We enjoyed our two-month stay in the Garden Flat at the Cakeflower Farm. The location is convenient to both Sebastopol and Santa Rosa and has easy access to HW 101 and the coast. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen very well-equipped. The unit was exceptionally well cleaned and easy to care for during our stay. The large windows, higher ceilings, garden patio and office area add a feeling of spaciousness we didn’t expect just from the photos on the web. We especially enjoyed the long views from the living room and kitchen including beautiful sunrises and sunsets, horses and goats next door, chickens free-ranging outside the patio's fencing, and the distant mountains to the west. So much fun to see the wide variety of birds that visit the patio's backyard. The hosts were very pleasant and responsive to any questions we had but were always respectful of our privacy. The location doesn’t feel remote but is far enough removed from busy highways and intrusive lights to encourage a relaxing stay. We hope we can return when the gardens are in full bloom. We enjoyed them even in November and December.

This has to be the Best VRBO house in Santa Rosa.

We loved the property, neighborhood (horses and chickens next door!) and thoughtful owners. The house was super clean and well laid out with so many thoughtful touches - delicious coffee maker, luxurious linens, bikes and a grill included too! Many wineries bike-able! And a proper bike path just down the road. Also, perfect little office space and corn hole in backyard for Santa Rosa sunsets. Loved every minute of our stay here and hope to return. Thank you for a wonderful month to Janet & Pony!

Lovely Country Stay

My parents stayed for 5 weeks at this beautiful and accommodating property, close to Santa Rosa, Forestville and Sebastopol. It was far enough away to feel like a retreat- surrounded by farmland and vineyards, yet close enough to stores and walking paths. The hosts thought of every detail- from farm fresh eggs in the refrigerator to the newspaper delivered each morning. The home is large and very accommodating for a longer stay. Beautiful country view out back with roses, herb gardens, horses and chickens.
