Secret Cottage 8 or 9
WOW! We cannot say enough positive things about this property. Bed comfort with sheets beyond thread counting, fun, luxurious pillows & at least 3 throws. Did I mention the vibrating lounging chair. Indoors or outdoors there were fun, interesting places to enjoy, day or night, some more private, all with whimsical touches to delight your senses.

Lovely view of the water and there are so many thoughtful little touches in the room. Really appreciated the snacks and the jetted tub was the highlight of the stay. Plus there's a fireplace and it's right next to one of my favorite restaurants, the Glen Ellen Star! Perfect little getaway

This is a hidden, quiet gem. We loved our stay. The room was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable and we loved having a porch to sit outside and have a glass of wine. It was too cold to take advantage of the public sitting area by the river but... next time!

Wonderful. Wonderful. This is exactly what I needed. Cozy and comfortable. They had many great amenities. We loved the steam shower. (I have never had a place offer Q-tips!) Easy to check-in. Easy parking. And walking distance to some great food.

What an awesome, quaint, peaceful little hideaway! We loved it. Glen Ellen is a short drive to all the Sonoma wineries and t min from multiple great hiking trails. Cant wait to get back! And the owners - Karen and Chris - are fantastic hosts and very helpful with great local advice!

This is an ideal weekend getaway. Self check-in, in-room hot tub and fireplace, and very close to several local wineries. There’s also a convenience store within a few hundred feet that has craft beer, wine, and basic grocery items (open until 11pm most days). Highly recommend.
