About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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!

Lovely quiet property

Tucked away by a stream on the outskirts of Sonoma. Quiet, clean, and everything you need for a stay. The bikes were a nice bonus!

Great location, nice space

The bungalow is in a quiet neighborhood and perfect location to access the plaza, wineries, hiking and biking trails. The interior was very clean with great amenities and well represented in the listing. The updated bathroom was a highlight. However, the outdoor space and bicycles - which were the main selling points (and one of the reasons we chose this property), did not appear well maintained. The deck wasn't clean or nearly as beautiful as the photos. It appeared as though it hadn't been used in a while - lots of cobwebs, lichen and mildew on the furniture. It needs a good pressure washing. I spent about 30 minutes sweeping cobwebs, leaves and bugs, then wiping down all of the furniture before we could use it - not what I want to do on my vacation. The bikes need a tune up and the tires were quite worn. We took them for a short trip and had no issues, but it was just a disappointment. I will say Mike was quite responsive when I contacted him about the bike tires. I would imagine those will be serviced before the next renters. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much. I just would have expected a more inviting area outside based on the pictures and description. It was definitely a good value. Easy check in, clear instructions, good communication and wonderful location.

Anniversary trip

The bungalow in Sonoma was the perfect place to stay to celebrate or 20th anniversary. Located in a quiet neighborhood. Great view of the creek from the deck. Close to restaurants and wineries. The amenities in the house, particularly the Franklin, stove were perfect for a spring trip.

Relaxing

This was our 3rd stay at this property. It is immaculate and has everything you could want. The deck overlooking the woods and babbling brook is the highlight of the property. We normally go when it is warmer so we didn’t get to enjoy the deck as much this time because it was chilly. It is very peaceful, relaxing and close to restaurants, grocery store, pharmacy etc.

This is our second stay at this property. We had an amazing time. The deck is a wonderful place to have a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night. The newly renovated shower was terrific! We will definitely return when we are staying in the Sonoma area!

Christmas was wonderful

It's near my mom's house on the creek that I used to play in as a boy. Each morning we watched the deer grazing from the back deck and then headed to moms house. It was very cozy and warm through the storm and I love continuous hot water.

Very cozy and comfortable

We spent three nights to visit wine country. Found everything clean and welcoming. Had to purchase coffee and did not know the fire pit was an extra (though nominal) charge. Chilly nights but warmed up quickly with cute little Franklin stove. Bidet was fun;). Would recommend!

Weekend getaway for a wedding

The bungalow is just as described. I have no complaints! Spacious enough for my husband and I and had all the necessary amenities. Great porch but unable to take advantage of it due to the rain. Stayed 2 nights as we were attending a wedding and it was great driving distance to the wedding venue in Sonoma. Would def stay again for the great price, cute home and great location to Sonoma plaza and all the wonderful wineries.

Get away

The location and place was okay for our stay. However, the address provided didn’t match up when clicking on “get directions” under the map. We finally had to copy the address and input it into our own maps to get the directions to the location. We are not from the area nor the state and lack of trust of following the directions on Vrbo didn’t make us feel safe. We did enjoy the deck area. We wished we could explore the area on bikes but no bikes anywhere at the location even though it was listed in the amenities. The barn door to the bathroom was tricky to close and kept moving. That was annoying.
