Set well back from the road on 4.5 acres...birds, hawks, owls, turkeys, deer, dragonflies, trees, lawns, flowers, grape arbor, wisteria, and, seasonally, apples, pears, blackberries, and persimmons. The level walk-out from the living room to the patio and garden provides comfortable and private in and outdoor living during spring, summer and fall.  The winters are cozy too with the wood burning fireplace and a sofa bed in the living room.
 
Our place is perfect for two couples and people with children.  Each of the two bedrooms are on opposite ends of a hallway. The master bedroom has its own bath. There is a paknplay, a mat type bed and plenty of toys for the under 8 crowd. The backyard, though unfenced, is well defined and excellent for play. There are two acres of woods with paths above the level grassed yard.
 
Our formal dining area seats six easily (we often seat 10) with immediate access to back yard with lawn and Sycamore trees. . Kitchen is fully equipped and has stainless steel appliances including dual fuel range, dishwasher, refrigerator. 
 
Master bedroom has a  private bathroom with claw foot tub. Nice views of trees including Fuyu persimmon tree outside the window. When the leaves change it floods the room with a beautiful gold orange glow. 
 
The second bedroom  with a queen size bed is off the hall as is the main bathroom with stall shower. 
 
The private back yard of the house has trellised patio,lawn area,and steps to the upper acres. It is great for viewing birds and other wildlife. 
 
Beautiful garden with gravel paths and pretty flowers in the spring and summer. Don't forget to check out the stone waterway, feels like a different climate a nice cool place to relax on hot days. An extra pair of flat shoes are a good idea for walking on the gravel paths. This property was named Owl Hill because the owls will call back and forth to each other from the tree tops. 
 
Approximately 15 minutes to Bodega Bay. Less than 10 minutes to the town of Freestone, Osmosis Spa, and Wild Flour Bakery and within minutes to some of the best West Sonoma County wineries.

Guest Reviews

Great location!


Loved the comforts of a home but the convenience of Bodega Bay, Armstrong woods and of course all the wineries! Wild Flour bread was also one of our favorites!

Very nice


The house is nice and the owners provide lots of local information (maps, brochures, etc). Very clean too.

A delightful get away.


Everything was just as advertised, cozy cottage in the woods. The accommodations were comfortable and we had everything we needed for a girls weekend. We loved the location and enjoyed the close location to the wineries and a short drive to the Armstrong woods.

A sweet, comfortable cottage in the woods.


Just about perfect for our needs. Owner was quick and gracious in responding to inquiries. Great kitchen. Comfortable beds. Only suggestion is to replace shower water controller. I highly recommend it.

Beautiful cottage in a serene rural setting


Our trip was on a cold and rainy weekend but the warm comfortable cottage made us all feel at home. The house has a great kitchen and beautiful stain glass accents. We were a group of 4 and all slept comfortably and had plenty of space. The dining room table was a wonderful place for us all to sit and download after a long day. We would definitely stay here again.
