A CLASSY COTTAGE !!!

A CLASSY COTTAGE !!!
When my husband opened the front door to the cottage we were elated to feel the warmth awaiting us. The fireplace was glowing , the heater on and music was playing in the background. There were fresh flowers in the rooms and Janet had even remembered that it was our Anniversary and left us a wonderful bottle of Champagne .We then discovered the cheese and cracker platter. Wow! What a treat.
Our stay in Sonoma was only four days and nights but we managed to get around to nearly every winery and restaurant that we intended to visit. We hired California Wine Tours one day and had a wonderful time.
The cottage is exactly what we had hoped for. It is very clean and beautifully detailed .
The beds were very comfortable. The weather was chilly and kept us in doors so we were unable to spend time enjoying the darling patio.
We are giving this cottage 5 stars. I would say "Janet, You are" SPOT ON" as an innkeeper. Job well done!”
We are happy to refer this vacation home to our friends and family. We hope to return next year.
Thank you for everything. We really enjoyed our stay !

Expectations Surpassed
Submitted: April 20, 2013
Stayed: April 2013
We are a retired couple from Washington state and were looking for a rental place to spend one month in sunny Sonoma. Very fortunately we found Koko’s Cottage on the web, liked it very much from the description, the pictures, and the reviews. We had high expectations, which were surpassed when we arrived and met Janet, the owner. She is so caring and welcoming, and it was immediately obvious to us, that the cottage is a labor of love for her. She showed us around, explained everything, gave us tips and instructions to follow. She is a wonderful, kind hearted person who right away made us feel at home in her beautiful cottage.
The cottage is immaculate, very comfortable and beautifully furnished and decorated.The kitchen is generously stocked. Everything works well, the queen beds are great with comfortable mattress and pillows. The garden is delightful and inviting with sitting areas under a big oak tree and water feature adding to the ambiance.The neighborhood is nice and quiet, the location is great, nicely tucked away from the hustle and bustle of traffic, yet only a few minutes drive from the vibrant activity of the square; really the best of both worlds. This is exactly what we had been looking for.

A GREAT LAST MINUTE CHOICE!
Submitted: April 19, 2013
Stayed: February 2013
This was the best last minute decision we've ever made. We loved the cottage.
After visiting Sonoma from the Silicon Valley we were sure we needed another two days to take in all there is to see. One of the tasting rooms in the Sonoma Square gave us a brochure of Koko's Cottage. We called Janet to see if she had a vacancy and we were fortunate to check in one hour later.
The cottage is adorable. It is beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable and well furnished. The beds were wonderful. We had everything we needed.
We were surprised to find so many conveniences awaiting us, like coffee, tea, even a nice bottle of wine and cheese and crackers.
We decided we wanted massages and Janet arranged for a Massage Therapist to visit the house with table and all and we were in Heaven!
What more could we ask for?
We highly recommend this cottage for anyone looking to relax and enjoy Sonoma.
Thank you Janet!

4 Friends for Celebrating Birthdays & Wine Tasting in Sonoma!
4 Friends for Celebrating Birthdays & Wine Tasting in Sonoma!
Submitted: April 18, 2013
Stayed: April 2013
Such a lovely cottage to spend four days celebrating and touring the surrounding wine country. The home is beautiful and so inviting; clean and well equipped. The information on the website is very accurate. The owner has made the cottage very comfortable and welcoming, from the beautiful décor to the wine, cheese, and crackers left for us to enjoy. The bed linens were soft and cozy; some of the best we had ever slept in. We enjoyed mornings and evenings in the living room by the fire, a cozy atmosphere.
We had an early flight into California on Saturday and the owner was very accommodating with allowing us to check it a little early. She was very helpful when it came to answering our questions and providing information to make our stay the most it could be in four short days. She was quick to respond when we called on her. We were sorry to leave and look forward to visiting the wine country again and would definitely choose to stay at Koko's Cottage. We are telling all our friends about this little jewel!

The place was cute. Well decorated and stocked well. It was clean as well and had a convenient location. There were a few small problems that turned my friends and I off. Three of us formally rented the place and a fourth slept over on our last night there. Her stay was not anticipated but she made a long trip to see us and we didn't see the harm in having her stay over one night. As simple as this sounds, it turned out to be an unnecessarily big ordeal. The driveway itself only has room for one car. When our friend parked across the street, one set of neighbors got upset about her parking on "their" self proclaimed spot on the public street. When she moved the car and parked in front of the cottage , another set of neighbors began complaining. No one explained the parking rules and no one was willing to explain when we asked for clarification (including the owner). The street is narrow so parking is limited. The owner was anything but helpful and as a matter of fact also had a bit of an attitude about both the parking and our friend spending the one night over. The owner although she had met my friends and I a few days before and had spoken with me several times by phone and email, snappishly said she hadnt met myself and one of the other girls (whom she did meet) on the day we were leaving. I understand her wanting notice that a 4th person spent the last night over and that was our mistake, but there no need for an attitude.
There was also a worm problem. Two disgusting encounters with 2 worms while staying there. In all fairness, they could've been transported indoors by wind or something. One of the bathrooms has a glass door so there is absolutely no privacy...and the toilet bowl is visible for everyone in the adjacent bedroom to see.
While this place was nice overall, the people made the experience unpleasant. We felt somewhat unwelcome and as though we were being nuisances. We won't be returning to this cottage next year. That's too bad because it really is quaint. Too bad the hassles that come with it are a turn off, ESP considering that it isn't exactly cheap to stay there.

Owner's Response: Thank you for taking time to review my cottage. I'm happy to know you found the cottage,Cute,Clean Comfortable,Quaint,Well Decorated and Conveniently Located . I do care very much about all feedback provided and have looked into your comments. I'm sorry you and your San Francisco friend didn't get a perfect experience this time around. While the rental documents explain the parking situation, I know not everyone reads it nor has unanticipated guests. I'll be making sure to remind future visitors about the neighborhood-like qualities and to remind folks to inform me of all guests and parking needs in advance, so I can continue to provide a great experience, part of which are the lovely neighbors! One small clarification for future guests, both bedrooms and bathrooms are entirely private and separate from one another. A cottage located in a country setting, as is mine is subject to an occasional visit from Mother Nature's Garden Creatures.
Thank you again for your feedback.

Just recently went to Sonoma/Napa for my 30th bday with my 3 closest friends. We arrived to find an idyllic little cottage, with shutters open, fresh flowers in every room, wine set out for us and a handwritten letter from Janet, welcoming us. We really enjoyed the cottage. It was immaculately clean and fresh with sun peeking through the windows. The kitchen was updated and had everything we needed, as did the rest of the house with throw blankets, linens - basically anything you could need. The cascade shower head in the master also was great. It was nice to have two bathrooms. The outdoor space was beautiful. We sat outside and enjoyed a nice glass of wine in the sun surrounded by plants and flowers. We were also welcomed with a glass of wine and some excellent cheese. My friends really raved about that Havarti :) Wonderful place. I'd definitely stay again.

We arrived Christmas afternoon to an adorable cottage with such personality in the decor! Cheese and crackers with wine awaited us. Christmas decorations had been placed thru out with a little tree to complete the Christmas holidays, very festive! Janet had graciously offered to make us dinner reservations prior to our arrival so we would not go hungry! Janet kept in touch after we arrived to make sure all was well, she offered many ideas to us to help enjoy our stay in Sonoma. The cottage is well located and within walking distance to town. We highly recommend this property for your stay you won't be sorry! Enjoy:)
The cottage was extremely clean, that is very important to us! Very comfortable beds, we both have bad backs

I recently stayed at Koko's Cottage and was extremely pleased with my experience. The house and yard are very comfortable, and are immaculately neat and clean. Janet, the owner, left us some wine and cheese on arrival, along with balloons for my girlfriend, who was celebrating a birthday. Janet also provided us with some great travel information.
The house is located within walking distance of a small store, coffee shop and some eateries, and within a short drive to everything else in Sonoma.
I had a wonderful experience at Koko's and around Sonomoa, and really hated to leave. When I go back, I plan to stay at Koko's again.

WOW! Was the first thing that we thought when we stepped into this rental. It is well decorated and comfortable to boot. Central location for wine tasting and exploring this part of the world. The outside space was quiet and serene. Janet was an excellent host, checking to make sure that we had every thing that we needed. The welcome wine and cheese was very thoughtful and appreciated. We will definitely be back to this piece of paradise!

Perfect home away from home
Submitted: March 11, 2013
Stayed: March 2013
When we started researching and planning our girls getaway trip to Napa, we decided to check out HomeAway. Koko's Cottage showed up on our first search and we thought it would be the perfect place. It was even better than we imagined! Janet was friendly and responsive, both before our trip and during our stay. We loved the attention to details like the fresh flowers and the decor. The cottage was well-appointed and we had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the wine and other treats Janet left for us. The cottage was the perfect location for our days of touring and tasting in both Napa and Sonoma. It is conveniently located with several restaurants nearby and a short drive to the Sonoma downtown/square that has lots of restaurants and shops. We enjoyed having such a cozy and comfortable place to call home during our trip. We were sad to leave our little cottage in wine country. We will definitely return!
