Cottage vacation rentals in Petaluma

My husband and I spent 3 nights at the lodge for our one year wedding anniversary. It is located on the same property as their vineyard which makes for a beautiful, serene view and setup. During our stay, we did a very personal wine tasting with David in the main house. It truly is a cool experience and unlike any other wine tasting I have done before, not to mention the wine was very good! The lodge itself is cozy and relaxing with a private back patio looking into the trees and nature. I wasn’t so sure about the outdoor shower at first but it was actually really nice! Water warmed up really fast and the view is amazing. The bed is located upstairs which was very comfortable and cozy with plenty of pillows and blankets. If you have trouble with mobility, the stairs leading to the bedroom are not easy to navigate and there are more stairs from the parking lot to the lodge with some uneven ground at times. If you are fine with stairs and some walking, it is well worth it!

Lovely artist’s cottage! The owner’s art and collections are on display, I kept seeing something new every day. Very comfortable and easy to walk to the beach or into town. Had a relaxing and comfortable stay. Slept really well!!

This is a charming place, beautifully kept with lovely furnishings. We really enjoyed the well appointed kitchen as we cooked every day. The yard and gardens are beautifully kept, peaceful and serene. Oranges growing right outside the house! We were in town for a wedding, and Santa Rosa is right in the middle of so many enjoyable things to do. We hiked on the CCT out past Bodega Bay, enjoyed restaurants in Healdsburg, visited the redwoods and shopped at the Barlow in Sebastopol. Thank you Cheryl for sharing your lovely home. We had a fabulous time!

This was a perfect spot for a personal retreat. I loved everything from the decor to the comfy bed to the private hot tub and well tended garden. I would love to come back again.

Super cute little spot. Walking distance to Sonoma Plaza and it had a private hot tub. Good distance from some vineyards and wineries as well!

This home is absolutely beautiful! The outside is gorgeous and relaxing. The outdoor patio and hot tub are amazing! The location is also fabulous. We went to the Bothe-Napa state park and the Castello di Amorosa both of which were only 15min away as is downtown Calistoga which is really cute. We really enjoyed our stay!! The only slightly problematic feature is the toilet, it doesn’t really work.

Our family of three had a wonderful time at Riverwood! We appreciated the thoughtful touches -tea kettle, garlic press, as well as books and guides to local history, flora and fauna. The home was clean and comfortable, and the grounds were enchanting! Buttercups bloomed along the path to the river, and the redwood trees towered overhead. The back porch offered a gorgeous view and vantage point to enjoy the birds and wildlife! Don't forget your binoculars! While it was foggy during our springtime stay, the hot tub, claw foot bathtub and fireplace kept us cozy. Town, river beaches, Armstrong Redwoods state park and Jenner by the Sea are all easily accessible from the property's location. Riverwood was a very peaceful and beautiful place to be! Sangeeta was a communicative and attentive host. We had a seamless stay, and no problem finding the property. Communication and directions were all very clear and detailed. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Michelle and Bill’s cottage was amazing! This was our second time staying with them, and it’s always magical and amazing! Perfect place to relax and take in the view.

We had a great experience at Caroline and Tim’s place! Walkable to Santa Rosa’s downtown area with lots of cafes, restaurants, and bars! Will keep this place in mind for a return visit to the area!

The first thing you notice is the waves from all directions. You immediately feel at peace. All the amenities were easy to locate and good quality, including great pots and pans, knives dishes and gadgets for cooking. There were extra linens and towels, it was comfy upstairs and down. It was well laid out and you look out at Point Reyes and Tomales Bay while lying in bed upstairs. The stairs were quite steep but there was a nice bedroom downstairs as well. I enjoyed the heated ceramic floor in the downstairs bathroom and there was good water pressure. We loved the wide wraparound deck and dock, as well as outdoor tables and a garden. The beds and sofas were all very good quality and comfortable and it was nice to have the fireplace. The dog had room to sniff and roam safely at will as the decks and garden were well enclosed. Hog Island is one minute away, Tony’s five minutes away for the chowder, and truly awesome pizza at Route One on the way to the dog beach at Dillon. Thanks!

pleasant and cozy stay. definitely recommend to unwind and relax

lovely place to stay. it's a great location with all the amenities

Laying by the river on the deck with my two senior doggos was pure bliss!

Overall we had a good stay at Susan’s rental. She was very nice and communicative. It was very quiet and the bed was comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few meals. Large refrigerator. Regular drip coffee pot. Very close to downtown Mill Valley so you can walk into town easily. There seemed to be a few other renters on this property, and our rental was the very back unit. The walkway down the length of the front house was a bit tight, with 2 gates. It was farther than we expected to load/unload bags. Just a heads up - Parking was a bit tricky because this property is on the main avenue (Blithedale).

If you're planning an escape in the Duncan Mills area, this is the place you want to be. It is conveniently located as a great jumping off point for all the local area has to offer or provides the perfect place for relaxation and reflection if that's what you need. Karen is a super host and very responsive should anything arise. The amenities at the River cottage cannot be understated. From the stocked kitchen to outdoor decks and gardens complete with hot tub and outdoor soaking tub there is something for everyone. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to another visit in the future. Consider a stay at Mama K's River Cottage, you'll be glad you did.

We had a great stay! Cynthia was very responsive and helpful before and throughout the stay. We had plenty of information about the house, what was needed from us, and the house was stocked with everything we could need. The location is amazing! Very easy to walk to the beach, and we loved the feature of the warm water shower at the home to clean up before entering.

Being very close to the beach and walking distance to the town center makes this spot so wonderful. We love it here and plan to be back soon! Thanks 🪻

Tina was great and their cottage was beautiful and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again!

Mary's place will stay in our memories for a long time. We felt right at home. The house was charming and cozy without being kitschy, clean without being austere, well stocked with personal touches. Our favorite spot was the cushioned nook in the kitchen with a view of the ocean. We had a lovely, peaceful stay. Mary was a responsive, friendly host. Thank you!

It's absolutely magical space for a peaceful personal retreat. Just amazing surroundings with beautiful views from the house and the yard, park with century-old trees just a few minutes walk away and beautiful walking paths. Something that I really needed for a recovery after a long business trip.

En provided very helpful instructions to unlock and lock the gate. The cottage was private and a good size for two people. Having parking available in the driveway was appreciated!

It felt like Marcy and I spent time together, but we did not see each other during the length of the stay. Her correspondence via text was prompt and engaging. I was having challenges with the access on my phone and she rolled with things smoothly.

About as good as an Airbnb gets, in my opinion. Just a lovely stay from start to finish. The cottage is cozy and situated in a very peaceful, beautiful setting, surrounded by towering redwoods, a little creek runs right alongside the property, and the hillside is lush with ferns. The cottage has amazing views from every window, but thick, easy to close curtains for privacy and sleeping late. The king size bed was perfectly firm and clean with nice cotton sheets and comforter. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with everything you could need, and it was easy to pair my phone to the Sonos speaker system for music. The hot tub is enormous, and just perfectly situated, so it felt very private and safe. All in all, everything about the place gets and A+! We didn’t interact with Tom beyond a few words at check-in, but he was warm and welcoming. We had zero problems, but when I messaged him to let him know we were checking out, he responded almost immediately. I hope we can stay here again!

Joshua’s place was perfect. The home was beautiful and the surrounding area was great. The home is set back on a quiet street, which made enjoying the home so relaxing. I brought my two dogs who enjoyed sunbathing on the wrap around patio/deck and running around the yard. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again!!
