Very clean little cottage. My husband and I stayed for three nights, comfortable, very clean and extremely quiet. We live in the bay area, but wanted to go away for a few days. We had never been to Petaluma and the downtown and restaurants are amazing. We play golf two days at rooster run, in very good shape and reasonably priced. Frank pays a lot of attention to detail, clean unwrapped combs in the medicine cabinet, Band-Aids, sewing kit, fresh coffee in the kitchen, bottle of wine, chips, and salsa, waiting for us. It is about half a mile easy walk to downtown, highly recommend!

Very sweet cottage with a great location

This cottage was very clean and well appointed. We found it easy to relax and make our way around town. An easy walk or ride to the downtown area with lots to see and do. We enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend the cottage.

Frank was very responsive and friendly! The place is cute and clean and everything is labeled. There's a heater/AC in the living room only, and it was freezing in every other room while we were there- that was the only downside! Good parking, nice neighborhood, walkable to downtown, very quiet, lots of interesting birds flying around to listen to and watch. We never heard any sounds from the main house even though it's attached.

Wonderful spot

Everything as described and as noted by previous guests. Only "negatives" maybe that there isn't a microwave, and the bathroom sink has no room to put things on (so my wife did her makeup at the kitchen table). Otherwise it was a terrific place. Great communication with Frank. Thank you.
