Cottage holiday rentals in San Francisco Bay Area

We’re very familiar with the surrounding area and this home is classic to the Russian River vibe. It’s easy to access Jenner Highland preserve, Armstrong woods and river activities. We found the listing to be accurate and very clean. We did not access the small secondary building but appreciated the hot tub. We also were glad we left our dog at home as there is no grass on the property and several stairs to navigate. It would certainly work for some dogs, but not ours was quite large. We did appreciate David’s immediate response to our request to edit our reservation when we decided not to bring our dog; excellent communication!

Cara’s place is a gem and we’re glad we found it. The perfect getaway from the busy Bay Area. Certainly, the creek just beneath really is the unique part of the whole experience. Of course we loved the hot tub and all other amenities too!

Karen's place was amazing! It looks beautiful in the photos and even better in real life. It's so peaceful—we saw deer and foxes from the balcony. The wonderful view from the hot tub is also so nice. It's one of the best Airbnbs we've stayed in. Location, privacy, size, etc, everything was perfect. Highly recommended!

We had a great time at The Cottage. It is well described in the listing, the place is a great place to chill and enjoy, especially the patio. It has everything you need (the listing mentions no stove but between all the other amenities and grill you can cook most things), is clean and very comfortable. The continental breakfast and cooking basics is a nice touch. We really liked our time there.

Our stay was lovely! The beds and linens were comfortable and the rooms were quiet. The entire home was well stocked and it felt like a second personal home in terms of the quality of items - sharp knives, well stocked pantry for cooking basics, foil, etc. We brought two dogs and it was a paradise for them. The outdoor area is truly magical. The fire pit is great, the downstairs dog shower is handy, and the landscaping is sublime.

In a word - delightful! We very much enjoyed the back deck and patio with morning and afternoon sun, a relaxing yard with views of the river, osprey, swallows and even deer. The kitchen was very well equipped with high quality appliances/utensils/cookware/dishware etc for easy mealmaking. Playing records from Adam's collection was memorable & reminiscent. The beds were very comfortable - especially nice with french doors looking out to the back yard and riverscape. The location is easy distance from Monte Rio, Jenner and Guerneville, paddleboarding, beaching, hiking nearby plus nice to walk our dog Lexie in the extended neighborhood. Adam was a great host. We highly recommend Adam's delightful cottage retreat, and look forward to future stays!

The beautiful pictures and glowing reviews for this listing were a primary reason why we chose to book, and the reality absolutely met our expectations. My boyfriend and I just spent almost a week here to rejuvenate and unplug, and it was the perfect place to do so. We felt an immediate shift in energy upon arriving at this very serene and magical property. It was just as lovely as previous commenters have stated. We didn't have the pleasure of meeting Marykate, but her son conducted our check-in and was so friendly and kind and made us feel comfortable and welcomed. We had total privacy but still felt our needs were being taken care of. Everything was also so thoughtfully considered and supplied. Absolutely LOVED the beautiful and adorable free-range chickens. It was so peaceful and therapeutic to see them roaming around. Such a special place. It was a sad day when we had to leave, and I hope we will be back soon.

Quaint little cottage and private deck away from and yet close to the town. Excellent and super-responsive hosts, very sweet and kind. Highly recommend for a serene experience in nature on your next Petaluma trip. :)

Linda is a great host. Cares about her guests. She had the room set to be cool upon arrival. The room is spacious and pleasantly comfortable. The Friday farmer's market is an easy walk, just down the street. Quiet neighborhood.

Artistic and quirky house. I loved it! You have to duck a lot, but it’s super cool. <5min walk to beach or downtown.

My husband and I (along with our 6 month old and our dog) enjoyed a perfect Fathers Day/Birthday weekend at Dennis's cottage! The location couldn't be better - so easy to grab provisions or a quick bite around the corner at the general store, and amazing to be able to walk to the beach in just a few minutes. The cottage is cozy - just the right size for two adults and a dog - with everything you need. Having a washing machine was extra convenient, and the balcony and fire place made for relaxing evenings. We love Dillon Beach and are so happy we found this place! Don't hesitate to book :)

Mark was a great host and we would love to visit again! With the hand delivered bakery treats, beautiful scenery, and awesome location this stay is wonderful and highly recommended for a visit!

We had a wonderful time at Carolyn’s place. We loved spending a day on her deck overlooking the lake - so beautiful. We also took advantage of her fire table out front. She also had a sturdy fold out table for dining - we initially didn’t see it in the pictures but she actually had everything we needed to enjoy a full meal around a table. Bonus points that we could fold it away for more space when not using! Carolyn was also very responsive and checked in daily on how we were doing. Would love to come back!

Gem of a beachhouse, on a quiet street, just a short walk from the beach. Clean, tastefully decorated cabin and loved the peaceful back garden and front patio to enjoy the sun as well.

This home worked well for our needs. It was a little far from our event, but is a beautiful and peaceful farm. Rebecca was very responsive and helped us through a few issues. She couldn’t have been nicer!

We had such a peaceful and relaxing time. We all slept so well. Lots of stars ⭐️ out at night. Hosts were very respectful, responsive and friendly. Gave us eggs 🥚 from their hens. Beautiful surroundings and so quiet.

Anything I write would only echo the rave reviews Hilmar has already received. I will say the kitchen was the best of any of the 50+ Airbnbs we have stayed at. A very peaceful, easy feeling staying here. A number of reviews mentioned seeing and hearing owls. Unfortunately, all we heard were the continuous "hoots" of Collared Doves which after awhile became annoying. There were a lot of deer who stopped by to say hi. The views out the windows were subtly magnificent. A great week was had.

Quick access to the beach, great views of the river and peek views of the ocean. Easy off hwy 1, not too far from the bay. Nice kitchen arrangement. Small bedrooms, but best arrangement for the size. Would recommend and may be back!

Berry Vine Cottage was a cozy place for my son and me. It was very clean, and had every convenience we were hoping for. It was centrally located to all the trails and the town of Point Reyes Station. Would recommend to a friend!

This is our 2nd time staying at this magical cottage. Tina is an excellent host who is available to answer any questions her guests might have. Not only is the interior of this Air B&B inviting, the cottage is also well equipped for a comfortable stay. The garden that surrounds the cottage is lovely and inviting. This trip I saw a humming bird taking a bath in one of the garden’s fountains. There is always plenty of street parking in Tina’s beautiful and quiet neighborhood. We highly recommend this special cottage and will look forward to staying there on our next visit to Oakland.

My husband and I loved our stay at this incredibly comfortable and welcoming casita. Everything was better than we expected. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. The apartment was very well equipped with an eye for comfort and detail. We loved the fireplace, and the incredibly comfortable bed. the entire experience made us wish we could have stayed longer.

Such a cute cottage - well appointed with more than expected in terms of the kitchen. Love the swings and outdoor picnic table. So very close to the Lavender Farm we wanted to visit - and we loved the Wild Poppy Cafe, also quite close. It was fun exploring Sebastopol and lovely to have Mary's cottage as a home base.

We had a wonderful stay! The home was exactly as described - clean, comfortable and thoughtfully prepared. Eric and Rebecca were incredibly responsive and welcoming, and made everything easy from check-in to check-out. It was a perfect place to stay and we would happily stay there again. Highly recommended!

This is the second time I’ve stayed at Willow Creek barn cottage, and I will definitely be back. It is comfortable, spacious, clean, and in a beautiful location. Julie is a great host!
