Wine Country Weekend Getaway
“Blackberry Cottage was perfect for 2 couples: 1 bedroom and bath upstairs and 1 bed and bath downstairs. Location very secluded, peaceful and quiet. Everything needed for an enjoyable weekend stay was available. And this cottage has the best equipped kitchen I've ever seen in a vacation rental property. Our host was quick to respond to questions. Overall, a great experience.”
— Cheryl B.
Lovely Cottage in Wine Country
“The cottage is spacious, beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and well-stocked with everything we could possibly need for our stay. Check-in and check-out were easy thanks to Heidi's clear instructions. An extra special welcoming touch was wine and a fruit basket. The attention to detail was first class all the way!”

TRANQUIL ESCAPE
Spend some time floating in an inner tube down the Russian River and walking amid ancient giants—one over 1,400 years old—at Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve. Poke around the old Russian stockade at Fort Ross and explore the Spanish adobe mission, or visit historic San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. Hunt for antiques along Petaluma’s downtown Victorian row, and dine on seasonal sake-steamed, aged abalone at Michelin-starred Cyrus in Healdsburg. Book kayak or fishing tours in Bodega Bay (30 minute drive from the cottage). And, don’t miss a flaky, fruit-packed slice of Gravenstein pie from Mom’s Apple Pie, a roadside stop outside Sebastopol only about a mile away from the cottage! It ranks up there with a Russian River Valley Pinot Noir as a real taste of Sonoma.
