Wildlife Viewing Overlooking Sonoma Creek In The Heart Of The Wine Country!

Take in all the Wine Country has to offer from this centrally located cozy apartment overlooking Sonoma Creek! With nearby great wineries, tasting rooms, restaurants, and shops, you'll find lots to enjoy in the area. You can take it all in on the 2 complimentary bicycles parked in the shed!

Please note! For a reservation to be accepted, you MUST tell us a bit about who's staying, and what brings you to the Wine Country.

Guests who book during the winter / rainy season may get a special whitewater treat! Since the Bungalow is overlooking Sonoma Creek, you will enjoy an exciting show if there is a rainstorm, and the rapids get more turbulent! Part of the deck is covered, so you can enjoy a thrill during a rainstorm! (Don't worry, you are safely high above the creek in the ravine below.)

The Bungalow (Sonoma TOT Cert # 1436N ) features a beautiful kitchen, hardwood floors, a cozy gas 'Franklin' stove for cool nights,, and a sumptuous new Beautyrest queen bed and awesome high thread count Egyptian cotton sheets. Fast internet, cable and internet-enabled TV let you watch cable TV or stream movies. While the apartment is delightfully furnished (we own a furniture store!), the real attraction is the deck overlooking the creek. From here, you can sit for hours watching the steady stream of wildlife (deer, mostly) as they make their way along the trails along the year-round creek. When the rains start, the creek goes from a lazy creek to a roaring stream - with rapids just a bit past the bungalow, giving great sound effects. The deck features comfortable patio furniture and an optional gas firepit to enjoy a glass of wine around at the end of a busy day!

The Queen bed is a new Beautyrest that is moderately firm. Some have said it is too soft. Some have said its too firm. It is what it is! The bed is covered with an Organic Cotton mattress protector/pad. High thread count Egyptian cotton sheets complete the ensemble. Spare blankets and pillows are in the closet.

The bathroom features a curved glass shower enclosure and a newly tiled shower. We have just added a Bidet Toilet - we tried one at a Vacation Rental ourselves and loved it - so we added one for you to enjoy as well! It features a heated seat and warm water. Heavenly!

While there are so many activities nearby, we expect that at least one of the days of your visit you'll grab a couple of bottles of wine and want to spend the whole day at the cozy Lazy Oak Creekside Bungalow, enjoying the magical surroundings!

** NOTE** MAX OVERNIGHT OCCUPANCY - 2 PERSONS ONLY ** (Including children)

IMPORTANT NOTE: To ensure your booking request is accepted, please be sure to tell us a little about WHO is staying, WHERE you are from, and WHAT brings you to the Wine Country! You can read about who we are in our VRBO profile, so its a 2-way privacy street!
Coin Laundry machine is located outside the unit under cover.

Host not accommodating
Unfortunately we did not get to stay here, the host would not accommodate our move to the next weekend which was available on their calender. Due to medical reasons I could not fly that weekend, but the host only cared about their mortgage payments and would not move the dates, even though they were available. Unfortunately this bad experience means we will not book again.

Needs a bit of upkeep.
Pros: Located above a nice river with a charming meadow view. Updated kitchen. Warm gas fireplace. Cons: Washer and dryer are not only located outside, but they are also coin operated… and one of the dryers was duct taped shut. I had to clean the windows to enjoy the view. The bathroom lights are motion censored. So getting up during the night did not only disrupt my partner, but it was like being in an airport runway light show. The threshold between the living room and kitchen was missing, so you could see screws and bare floor. The blanket at the foot of the bed, and the one in the living room were not washed. There were only about five adult hangers and 20 children hangers. We would not stay here again.

Great place for a getaway or wine country visit
My wife and I spent a few enjoyable days at this property. The unit is clean and as described. The kitchen is well equipped and includes basic condiments. Location is in a quiet neighborhood backing into a pretty big stream, and we saw plenty of birds and a few deer. Also convenient to Sonoma town, Napa, Redwood National Forest and the coast. Hosts are easy to communicate with. Highly recommend.

Cosy retreat with view on the creek
Charming, comfortable bungalow with all modern conveniences including an excellent kitchen to prepare meals with nice appliances, dishes and cooking accessories. It is a quiet area with a comfortable private deck with view on the creek. We enjoyed our time and recommend this rental. We would only suggest to look at replacing the shower who starting to show its age but still has a good water pressure.

Creekside charmer
We stayed at this charming unit for 2 nights while visiting Family for Thanksgiving. The unit is small, but perfect for the 2 of us. The deck overlooking the creek is lovely and we really wish that we would have had time to sit by the fire, sipping a glass of wine and watch for wildlife. Our only snag was the unit had not been cleaned when we checked in. When we finally reached Michael, he got right on it and the housekeeper over. Otherwise our stay was great.

We loved that this property offered bikes for us to explore Sonoma in a unique way. The fire pit inside and outside made for a nice, cozy visit when we were taking a break from the wineries.

Nice Stay in Cozy Cottage
We enjoyed our stay in the cozy cottage along the creek. The rain on Saturday allowed the creek to flow rapidly, making listening to it even more relaxing. We would definitely highly recommend the property to friends and family.
