| Just home from a 4 night stay in Sonoma. We found everything about Cindy and Dan's lovely Carriage House to be letter perfect. Spotlessly clean, every little detail and need provided for...one of the finest places (in the whole world!!!) I have ever stayed. |

| My wife and six year old daughter recently stayed at the Carriage House. It was everything that is described by the other comments. The location is great (and quite), the pool and spa are great. The house was stocked with everything. The owners have amazing taste - so everything is top quality. The owners are very nice and accommodating. I have already recommended it to friends! |

The four of us girls came to Sonoma for our 30th birthday trip and this cottage was the perfect place to stay! We sat in the spa after long days of touring vineyards, watched some chick flicks, and gossiped over breakfast in the kitchen.
We had an amazing time and would recommend this cottage to all of our friends and family. Thank you so very much!

8/18/2009,
Thank-you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. It has been a much needed relaxed few days after our travels and has been the perfect end to our honeymoon. Thank-you for the cookies, wine, fresh fruit, flowers etc. We really have felt pampered!! Your whole family has been wonderful and very welcoming and we especially love Elsa and Roxy!! We look forward to bringing our parents to Sonoma in the near future.
Thank-you again for everything. Definitely 5 star luxury!!

Dear Cindy and Dan,
You have an absolutely beautiful property and thank-you for such a wonderful holiday. There are so many appreciated touches you added to the Carriage House that makes it feel luxurious and welcoming at the same time. The gardens, and especially your roses, are spectacular! This vacation home reminds us of a Relais & Chateaux property where we spent our honeymoon and it has been a beautiful vacation all around.
Thank-you for everything,
Sarah and Jason

| We truly enjoyed all aspects of our stay at the Carriage House in Sonoma. Cindy & Dan's place helped make this week of our honeymoon so relaxing and enjoyable. We would love to return and encourage anyone to stay here if you're looking for a place in wine country. As echoed by the other guests, there are so many things that made our stay wonderful. The neighborhood is beautiful and only a few blocks from Sonoma's famous plaza; we walked there daily. The gardens, pool, and spa were great. Inside, we had plenty of room. The kitchen had all we wanted (gas burners a plus!), and the bed & bath were more than expected. The quite surrounding were peaceful and wineries (Sonoma county & Napa), and the coast were very accessible. Definitely check out wineries (you can even walk to a couple), the plaza, the farmer's market. |

| Staying at this cottage house was like staying in a private bungalow at a 5-star hotel. The accomodations were impecable and the attention to detail was superb. The bed was heavenly!! We loved the wood-fiber sheets. The most rewarding thing about staying here was that unlike some rentals, the experience actually lives up to, if not exceeds, the pictures posted on the website. That was almost as refreshing as the pool! We can't say enough about the owners and their two sweet dogs. Their hospitality was truly special. Many thanks. We can't wait to come back. xoxo Laura & Tim |

We stayed there a week for our honeymoon. The accomodations were wonderful. The place was fully stocked with anything you would ever need. All we needed to do is stock up the refrigerator with some goodies from the Sonoma Cheese Factory (awesome sandwiches!), Whole Foods, or Safeway.
The bed was comfy, though we would have liked firmer pillows, and the large tub was fantastic. There's a stereo and TV/DVD player in the living room. Blockbuster is down the road about a mile or so.
We didn't take advantage of the pool/spa, but it was in immaculate condition.
In short, we felt lucky to have picked the perfect, "homey" place to stay and we enjoyed some incredible weather.
For those who are interested in wine, our favorite wineries were Jaccuzi Family Winery (we joined their club), Luna, V.Sattui, VJB, Gundlach Bundschu and Moscardini. If you make it to Napa be sure to visit Castello Di Amoroza (sp?).
Also, if you're into simpler fare for dinner, we really enjoyed eating at the Red Grape. We had dinner there four times and we were never disappointed. Fantastic pizzas...and that's coming from a pizza snob! |

| The Carriage House is a truly wonderful find in Sonoma! The gardens and pool are absolutely beautiful and the accommodations are pure luxury. It is located in a beautiful neighborhood just a few blocks east of the Sonoma Plaza, so its easy to walk to town for dinner, shopping, and wine tasting. Cindy and Dan are very hospitable, welcoming, and respectful of your privacy so that you don't feel like you are intruding in their space. We have stayed at other vacation rentals and high-end hotels in Sonoma, but this is definitely the nicest one yet and we plan to stay here again. To get the same level of quality and space, you would easily have to spend $100-$300 more per night to stay in one of Sonoma's finest hotels. I highly recommend the carriage house! |

We celebrated our anniversary at this beautiful Carriage House. We arrived to delicious cookies and wine. The attention to detail, luxury, and comfort far exceeds other places we have stayed. The hot tub was devine. Wineries, great food,and fun shopping were all within walking distance. The dogs were friendly. The gardens were just beginning to bloom. I highly recommend this cottage.

This wonderful home was heaven. The bed was so
comfortable, the kitchen truly gourmet and
supplied with everything and the pool and spa were
a dream come true. Purely relaxing, a short walk
into town and the wineries. No need to ever get in
our car. Cindy and Dan and their wonderful dogs
couldn't have been nicer.I do not hesitate to
recommend this cottage and can't wait to get back. |
