We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. The home was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained—exactly as described. The ranch was peaceful and we loved having easy access to the redwoods and other scenic sights. Julie and Henry are responsive, friendly, and made the check-in/out process incredibly smooth. Using the cottage as a base, we toured the sights the area offers easily. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay.

Wonderful property; much larger than you would anticipate and so comfortable and clean. The property hosts were attentive and prop to answer our questions.

Perfect, quiet Thanksgiving getaway!

We were so happy to spend a quiet Thanksgiving trip at Henry and Julie's wonderful VRBO on their horse ranch! We brought our dog and it was perfectly set-up to enjoy the space and neighborhood with her. The enclosed front yard made it easy to travel with a dog. Inside the guest house we had everything we could ever need to feel right at home. We would love to stay again!

Wonderful!

If you need a perfect place to stay in Sonoma Valley, this is it! The location is perfect for visiting wineries, going to the beach, and going to all the nearby plazas. The cottage is spacious and comfortable and has everything you need. We loved talking to Julie and Henry (and Olivia) and getting recommendations of places to eat and see. My husband especially enjoyed talking to Henry (and feeding the fish!) and was amazed at all he had done.We’ll definitely stay there again next time we’re in that area!

Wine lover's paradise for two

This place is so amazing! It's located very near to at least 3 of our favorite wineries. The accommodations are wonderful! The kitchen has everything you need to create that special meal, plus lots of coffees and teas to choose from. The living area is very roomy and comfortable. The bathroom is more than you'd expect with double sinks, large mirror, and plenty of linens. The owners are very helpful and available whenever you need anything. This was our second stay here, and we hope to be back again.

Great place to stay convenient and centrally located!

We loved our stay at this cute studio cottage. It is centrally located with wineries, dining, and shopping closeby. It is very quiet and a nice place to come back to after a day of adventures around wine country. The hosts were very nice and communication was great. They provided welcom snacks and wine which were greatly appreciated after a long day of travel to get there. I enjoyed walking out to pet the horses which was an added bonus! This place was clean and well stocked with anything we would need. Would definately stay again!

We had the most lovely time at the Ranch. Julie is an exceptional host that goes above and beyond expectations. Everything was cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed taking a morning stroll visiting the horses and walking the grounds. If you’re lucky Mellisa will be teaching a class you can watch and learn her next level horsemanship.

Great Place for Exploring the Russian River Valley

Julie and Henry's cottage was perfect for our trip! It had everything we needed, and they gave us lots of suggestions for exploring the surrounding vinyards. We walked to three wineries and a restaurant, all within a couple miles off the nearby West County Trail. There are vinyards and apple orchards in every direction. The kitchen was well equipped for preparing meals, which we ate al fresco at the tables in the yard. If you like wine and walking, friendly hosts and comfortable accommodations, this place is perfect!

Escape to Ross

I would give Location 8 out of 5 stars if I could. Quiet, private, and so close to excellent cycling and restaurants. Our dog Miles loved this place, with its fenced in yard and a pasture to chase the ball in. Julie was accommodating when it came to extending our stay (several times). I appreciate her efforts and her attention to detail. It made our stay delightful!

About the host

Hosted by Julie Hunter

Host profile image
Henry and I are very proud of the accommodations and amenities that we are able to provide through VRBO. We want our guests to know that our top priority is providing 5-Star service in every way. We affectionately refer to the cottage as the "Boarder's Lounge", since resident horse owners used to gather there. It has now transformed into an elegant, yet rustic chic, home-away-from-home. We look forward to being your hosts!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this country property, primarily because of its quiet location and pastoral views. Even though we are surrounded by nature, we are close to everything that matters. Visitors to our ranch always feel at home here.

What makes this property unique

In addition to being centrally located to so many marvelous places & activities that Sonoma County has to offer, we are right across the street from the West County Trail (perfect for walking, jogging and bicycling)!
