We had a wonderful stay in this lovely, historic home over the Christmas holidays. The house has great character and charm, and its location is ideal as it just a short walk to the downtown area with shops, restaurants and local attractions.Our host, Frank, was terrific. He was responsive, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our stay. Additionally, he provided us with welcome snacks!

My wife and I had a relaxing 10 day stay in this home in Petaluma, and would recommend it to anyone who wants to unwind and explore the area. The location is ideal. It's in a quiet neighborhood with only a 10-15 walk to great restaurants and shopping. And Petaluma is an ideal home base for exploring wine country, redwoods, and the coast. The home itself is great too. Loved the large bedrooms and comfortable beds. Frank is friendly and responsive and keeps the home clean and maintained. Highly recommend!

I loved the location and convenience of this property. Plenty of room and comfy beds. I traveled alone but had friends spend a night so the 2 bathrooms were a plus. Walking to downtown was close and a very pretty walk, beautiful neighborhood. Would definitely stay again

Perfect little Petaluma stay

Had a great stay at Frank’s property! Check in and overall information was a tiny bit clunky but Frank was incredibly responsive and helpful so it was not an issue at all. Location can’t be beat, place was clean, well appointed and comfy.

Petaluma Family Visit

We had a comfortable and enjoyable stay at this VRBO. The beds were super comfortable and there was plenty of space for 2 adults and a 14 year old to spread out. I was able to work half days in the kitchen area without disturbing anyone. The house is in walking distance to all downtown shops and restaurants and an easy drive to Target and other shopping. Parking is on the street, but there was never an issue getting a spot right out front. We would highly recommend!

Good stay in a cute town

Three brothers on a wine and hiking tour. Petaluma was in the middle of four of our destinations, so the area was right. The price was right. The stay was a comfortable no-frills option in Petaluma. House was clean. Owner was very responsive to our one need (coffee grinder). We basically spent the late evening and slept in the home. Therefore, it met all our needs. Two of us had to do a little work-related stuff, and we did stream a couple movies while we were there. The WiFi is very slow. I’d say that was the only criticism of the place. Check in and checkout was a breeze. Not like other places where I e had to strip the bed linens and place towels, etc. in the tub. Very easy.

Great option right near downtown Petaluma!

I booked this VRBO for my international friends who were coming out of town to attend my wedding. The space was perfect for them. It had an abundance of towels, linens, was perfectly clean, and there was a nice welcome note & snack. Frank, the host, was extremely accommodating. The girls all felt comfortable & safe, and we enjoyed its proximity to downtown Petaluma and St. Vincent’s Catholic Church. I would 100% recommend this spot for folks coming in from out of town ESPECIALLY if you don’t have access to a car. There is so much close by and the neighborhood is stunning.

Clean and close to downtown

We had a great time in Petaluma and this unit was very nice. Unfortunately, it was extremely warm (100-103 degrees) and this unit is upstairs in an older home. There were two floor standing a/c units but they didn’t keep up with the heat at all. We couldn’t stay there during the afternoon. Fortunately, the nights were cool so sleeping was not a problem. I’m told that kind of heat was way out of the ordinary for Sonoma Valley.
