Our Wine Country Location
Wineries
About one hour north of San Francisco, this lovely home
is centrally located in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County within minutes of and with easy access
to the Sonoma and Napa
wine regions. Although situated with very easy access to the freeway and all conveniences,
Oak, Acer and Juniper trees surround the house giving it a private
atmosphere, especially in the peaceful organic garden at the back.
Dining and Food
There are many wonderful
restaurants in Santa Rosa and also
within a short driving distance from town. There are also some excellent local markets we recommend highly. In putting together this website, we've created a great resource
about the area in which you will find
many of our personal recommendations for your convenience.
"Looking at the map, you may think this isn't the perfect spot for a
romantic place to hang out. You would be completely WRONG! We loved it and
stayed in most of the weekend." - DR
In the neighborhood are local markets as
well as supermarkets with large organic food sections and a Whole Foods Market across town. If you like to cook
you won't want to miss Martindale's Meats - our local butcher shop.
Shopping in Sonoma County
Upscale shopping is available in Montgomery
Village (about 10 minutes drive) as well as many unique local retail shops located in Healdsburg about 20 minutes north, and Sonoma about 40 minutes east. There are also factory outlet stores in Petaluma (about 20 minute drive depending on the time of day).
Fairs and Farmers Markets
We are close to the Sonoma County Fairgrounds where both
the County Fair and Harvest Fair are held. Should your stay coincide with these events, we can arrange tickets upon request.
We have an
amazing agricultural and artisan community in Sonoma County, and
consequently have many wonderful Farmers Markets. During your stay, we hope you will visit at least one of these amazing representations of our locally
farmed produce, Sonoma County foods, arts and crafts.

Northern California Coast
A lovely,
redwood lined drive of about 40 minutes will deliver you to the
Northern California coast. You will arrive at the town of Jenner where
the Russian River meets the Pacific Ocean. Turning southward, the first
beach you'll come to is Goat Rock, bordered on one side by the River and
another by the Pacific. Between the months of March - August is pupping
season for the colony of Harbor Seals who live here. It is a beautiful
beach for photos.
Sonoma County is a lovely part of California and we're
certain you'll enjoy the beautiful vistas and lovely agricultural views. We are less than an hour from the Sonoma Coast where you can enjoy beautiful sunsets
and excellent meals. Our charming old-world small towns and wonderful artisan craftspeople will make this a most memorable stay.
