We had a great 2 week stay. The cottage was cozy with a very comfortable bed. Donna provided everything we could need. I loved being close to the Joe Rodato trail and walked into town. An excellent stay!
Great stay! I had to stay a week in Sebastopol for work and the Mod Podge offered a great home away from home! Can’t wait to come back just for leisure and play!!! 👍
We loved our stay at Donna’s rental. Perfect location and great amenities while we were out visiting family. Donna has provided all the necessary items and more to make our stay very comfortable. Will definitely be back!
I enjoyed my stay at the Mod Podge Lodge, it is in a nice location to the coast, wineries and local attractions. The host was wonderful and very helpful. Highly recommend staying here.
We've stayed in Sebastopol a few times to visit our family in Soomoa county and this place was lovely! Close to shopping, restaurants, etc. The bed was super comfortable, very clean, beautiful property, and
I've stayed here before and would not hesitate to stay again. This place is perfect for a short or a long visit as it is very clean, well stocked, quiet and in a great location. I especially enjoyed the fact that it is separate from the main house and is equipped with a washer and dryer.
We had a very enjoyable stay at this property while visiting the Russian River Valley area. Donna was very responsive to our questions and was great to work with. We'd definitely stay here again!
The little one bedroom house was perfect for us. A great location, very comfy bed and lovely property. Wish the weather had been a little warmer so we could have enjoyed the outdoor space. Would have liked to have a traditional coffee maker.
Great place with everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. We enjoyed easy access to wineries, the Pacific ocean, forests and restaurants. The cottage is nice and well-stocked with essentials and helpful extras. Will recommend to others looking to stay in Sonoma County.
We found the location and accommodations perfect for a weekend of wine tasting. Great trail just in front of place allowed for a quick more walk/run. Hosts were great!
This was a perfect spot for a family visit. Just 15 minutes from our son’s home and close to Sebastopol was very convenient. The property was very cozy and the owners do a great job of stocking the kitchen and bathroom with just about anything you’d need. Everything was clean and comfortable and the property was quiet and well kept. We’ll definitely stay again.
Very comfortable and clean, stocked w everything one would need., Close to Andy’s market and trails! Perfect for visiting family in Forestville ten minutes away for Thanksgiving.
The Mod Podge was perfect for my stay in Sebastopol. It has everything you need and is so comfy. It’s a perfect location to explore Northern California and I can’t recommend it enough. Close to restaurants, wineries, hiking trails, and great little shops. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again on my next trip to California.
Stayed for a wedding weekend, it was a perfect place for relaxing between events. Nice to have coffee or a cocktail on the patio. Bed was comfy. Donna has stocked things you may have forgotten Would love to come back and explore the area more. Had a great stay and would book again.
