Bright, comfortable, well equipped cottage with private outdoor space in the charming town of Glen Ellen. Perched above a creek and surrounded by trees, it offers a private setting in a semi-rural neighborhood just steps to town. Fast WiFi. Free secure parking on premises of gated property. ** Reservations of 31+ nights are exempt from 12% County occupancy tax. The cottage is on the same 1/2 acre property as the main house and has a separate, gravel pathway entrance. The large deck (300 sq ft) offers expansive views of trees, the creek below and starry night skies. You may also catch a glimpse of deer, fox, wild hare and other critters that wander near the creek. If you enjoy marveling at nature, this setting is for you. Entire private cottage and deck. I like to give guests their privacy. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about your stay through the AirBnb app or by text. Glen Ellen is a small community with a rich history. We are an eclectic population of artists, educators, conservationists, business owners, activists, musicians, creators, retirees, San Francisco transplants-you get the picture. A short 5 minute walk gets you to the heart of town with a patisserie, grocery store, post office, an historic bar with outdoor seating and restaurants with outdoor seating and takeout. Beautiful Sonoma Regional Park is adjacent to town with miles of uncrowded paved and dirt trails. Jack London State Park with extensive trails is a few minutes drive. Hiking and mountain biking opportunities abound. Wineries are nearby in every direction. Sonoma and Kenwood are 10 minutes away. Santa Rosa is 20 minutes. Napa, Sebastopol and Petaluma are all 30 minutes. If you are interested in staying here, please let me know a little about yourself, and that you have read and agree to the house rules when sending an inquiry or booking. Also, please provide the full names of each person who will be staying. The house rules may feel a bit extensive, and if you are not comfortable with all of them, please do not request to book. This is a wonderful cottage if you are looking for a peaceful experience. It is not the right house for you if you are looking for a spot to be loud or party.
