This was the perfect spot for my final summer getaway. Honestly, when I first looked at the…read morewebsite and saw that it was part of Summerhome Park and that there were activities for children, I was a bit skeptical about how much of a hideaway it would be for a group of adults. I imagined hearing children shrieking and playing all over the place. When we pulled up to the house, I was very happy to see that the community of homes is VERY spread out, so the home is pretty secluded. We walked up the stairs to find a very cozy home and guest house. The first night was spent cooking, drinking wine, and hanging out in the hot tub. The kitchen is well-stocked with utensils, so we cooked breakfast and dinner here each day. We were close to the river, so we spend the second day kayaking. The home has a TV/DVD player, so when we were exhausted in the evening, we could relax and watch movies or play some of the games available in the house. Wineries are not too far, so we spent the third day wine tasting. We had a great vacation, and we hope to return next summer!

we had a great weekend there!…read more Unfortunately it rained but it was perfect weather in the hot tub. Its a good location - close to plenty of wineries and places to explore but tucked away in the woods so its quiet and private. The place is stocked with about anything you could need. seriously. I can't wait to come back in the summer as the large deck and outdoor brick grill will be perfect for an afternoon of soaking up the sun. i would definitely recommend this spot.

Host, Anna, has an eye for detail, which means everything here is aesthetically tasteful and functional. This goes for the interior and extends into the spacious garden area, which is a stone's throw from one of sonoma county's best bike/walking/jogging paths. My gf and I came up from LA, and stayed here for 3 days in late June. It was a blissful getaway...offering the best of what western sonoma county has to offer in terms of comfort, peace and quiet, beautiful countryside, great food (walking distance to the little village of Graton, which has two of the north bay's best restaurants..the Underwood, and the Willowwood Cafe). Casa Ramona is located in wine country, and dozens of tasting rooms are situated within a 20 minute (driving) radius. Some excellent wineries/tasting rooms are within walking distance!! The coast is also a short and spectacular drive away. I can't say enough positive things about this hidden treasure. We'll be back.

This wonderful getaway has been updated and is more lovely than ever…read more It has everything one would need. The hot tub is amazing. Everything is clean and cozy. If your looking for a place to get away and enjoy the redwoods, Russian River, hiking trails or just want to sit by the fire, read or watch a movie, cook, eat and be merry, this is it!

I had to Yelp this awesome place because we wouldn't have found it searching all the usual channels…read morefor B&Bs in Sonoma/Russian River (i.e. Farmhouse Inn, Healdsburg Inn, etc.). This place is a fabulous hidden gem about ten minutes from downtown Healdsburg and only a few minutes from nearby wineries. The cottage is situated at the end of a long driveway, overlooking rolling hills that you'll find in this part of Sonoma. It's a clean and comfortable home converted from an old barn, where the owners now live. And they've done an amazing job updating the one-bedroom with a new bath, modern appliances, a large flat screen tv, and even a mini-kitchen stocked with local croissants, jams, and organic teas... But what got me is that unlike so many wine country B&Bs that look cute online and end up feeling corporate in person, the place doesn't feel contrived or pretentious at all -- it's relaxing, romantic, and rustic (how's that for alliteration) in a very real way, which is exactly how a weekend in wine country should be done. Also, gotta love how spacious and warm the place is, even in November (our favorite time to do wine country...). It was just two of us this weekend, but the place could easily host up to 6 with the two queen-sized futons in the living room mean. If you're able to, check out the cute gardens full of local produce all around the home and if you're lucky, you may meet the most awesome Yellow Lab ever. Did I mention the owners even make their own organic honey -- how sweet is that?

I definitely reiterate the sentiments from the first reviewer. This place is a find!…read more It's the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of city life - relaxed, quiet, and quaint. Whether you're asleep in the ridiculously comfortable bed, munching on croissant and jam on the breakfast patio, or meandering through the adjacent gardens, this is a serene base for a Sonoma getaway. The cottage has the amenities and space to host a family or pair of couples for a week-long vacation, but it's convenient location and reasonable price are also perfect for a couple just looking to spend a weekend wine tasting and enjoying idyllic "downtown" Healdsburg. As for dinner, don't miss Willi's in town!

This place is great! We were a group of 9, with 2 dogs staying on one of the hottest weekends in…read morehistory. First, the house-- The first floor is very open, with a big living area (and sectional sofa) opening to a large dining room that comfortably seated all of us. The kitchen is spacious, and easy for one or two people to cook in. The knives are even sharp! There's a small bedroom on the first floor with a day bed. For some reason, it was the coolest room in the house. Upstairs are three more bedrooms (one with bunk beds!), the master suite, and another full bath. The beds were comfortable, everyone slept like babies, and the master suite has a kickass deck. There'a big back deck nestled in the redwoods with views of the river. Going towards the back yard, there's a nice hottub that we barely used because it was super hot outside. The yard is totally fenced (great for the dogs), and the back yard had fruit trees that will be great for a later guest once the fruit is ripe. The houses's location beside the beach path means you can go from front door to water in under two minutes. We spent a lot of time at the beach, and got to know some of the very nice neighbors. All in all, the best vacation house we've rented yet. Rob was super easy to work with, and I highly recommend.

From the moment we arrived, everything felt special and thoughtfully done. The suite had its own private enclosed area with a fire pit and a jacuzzi, which made it feel incredibly intimate and relaxing. The bed was hands down the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. I could honestly stay in it all day and would come back just to sleep in that bed again. They provided yummy snacks, there is a full kitchen, and the space itself was very cozy and warm. It felt like the perfect place to fully unwind and enjoy the stay. Everyone at the lodge was extremely friendly and welcoming. The bar is just a few steps down, which was very convenient, and during Christmas the lodge is absolutely beautiful. They had a huge Christmas tree that made the entire place feel magical and festive. I would highly recommend staying here. Winning the raffle introduced us to a place we will absolutely be coming back to.
