Cozy and Charming Apple Blossom Retreat—Relax with Nature

The hosts, Susan and Gary, felt like old friends. We usually stay at a local hotel, but wanted something different this time and we were very happy with our choice! There was work being done around the surrounding properties, so there was some extra noise, but it didn’t interfere with our stay. The space was well planned, giving us room to move about comfortably. The mattress was a bit softer than we prefer, but that’s not a dealbreaker. The location was perfect! We felt away from town surrounded by trees and a lovely garden, yet it was easy to get to the wonderful town of Sebastopol. We definitely plan on returning!

The Apple Blossom Retreat is absolutely perfect! Such a quiet neighborhood, such a comfortable bed (!!!), and such gracious, helpful hosts! Susan and Gary are the hosts of this lovely home-away-from-home cottage, which has a delightfully cozy feel, lovely furnishings, and lots of windows for daytime sunshine, plus easy-to-close blinds for nighttime darkness or privacy. I loved the full-size shower and spacious bathroom, which was equipped with everything I needed in the way of soaps, lotions, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, and plenty of towels. The little kitchen behind the bi-fold doors met my breakfast needs perfectly: small refrigerator and freezer, microwave, toaster oven, dishes, glasses, mugs, silverware. I didn't need more than that since I was visiting my family close by, but I noticed all the other kitchen conveniences provided, which other guests might find useful if more cooking is desired. There is a wide selection of books, a TV, a DVD player, and even a device for playing music. A table for two to eat at sits right by the front windows so I had a view of the inviting patio that's right outside the front door. These are thoughtful and conscientious hosts! Thank you, Susan and Gary! I'm certainly looking forward to staying here again very soon.

Loved the deer that came up to our door step. Also the owners were very nice,friendly, and caring people. Area was beautiful and nice and quiet. Jacuzzi was a bonus.

Hosts were communicative and welcoming. Beautiful country charm in quiet surroundings with wildlife to view.

We had a wonderful stay at Apple Blossom retreat. What a gorgeous, peaceful place to spend a few days, a perfect sanctuary.The cottage has everything you need and Susan made us feel most welcome. We hope to return again in the future.

Clean, quiet, peaceful. Just what we wanted. Susan was available for restaurant recommendations, questions about WiFi—the gamut. Kitchenette with coffeemaker, microwave, and fridge made breakfast prep easy. Recommend!

Susan & Gary are terrific hosts, warm, friendly & helpful.

Well equipped kitchenette. We saw wild turkeys and deer. Host was friendly, but not intrusive.

Peaceful and restfull

Great hosts, kind and helpful. Beautifully appointed and clean. The location is beautiful and secluded. For some it would feel isolated, but we enjoyed the peacefulness and natural beauty of the place. Sebastopol is acharming town to explore.

Susan and Gary were excellent, easy to communicate with, very helpful and made us feel very welcomed

My husband and I stayed here for a few days while we were visiting our son working at a local summer camp. It was perfect for what we needed. It had a refrigerator, toaster, and microwave. There were other amenities for people who might want to make simple things, but for the most part, we ate at local restaurants. (there are so many great places in the area to eat.) Their property is as stated – quiet and in a natural setting. We often saw a deer on the property every time we came back. The host was very attentive and came by to check on us as well as wanted to say goodbye on the way out. The Jacuzzi wasn’t available but to be honest my husband said it was too cold for him to use it. Lol so it worked out just fine for us. If we were coming up for a couple days to stay, we would definitely stay here again. The hosts are very kind and I appreciated their hospitality.

Gary and Susan are thoughtful, kind hosts.Their place is in a beautiful, quiet location.

A perfect spot to stay while visiting our new grandbaby in San Francisco.

The setting is this property is beautiful - susan and Gary are lucky to have such a little slice of heaven for their home - which they happily share. We have family in Sebastapol and will be back! Great hosts - great space!

The location of Apple Blossom Retreat was perfect for our visit with family.

This stay was shorter than planned but the hosts were so warm, welcoming, and accommodating. The studio is cozy and clean and the neighborhood was beautiful for a morning walk. Would definitely recommend booking!

Loved our stay here. The hosts were so nice and welcoming.

We were in the area to attend a wedding and wanted to make it a relaxing weekend. The studio was cozy and comfortable. The quiet country location was just what we needed. Gary and Susan are wonderful people and excellent hosts. We definitely hope we can find some time and come back to this retreat.

We spent 5 relaxing days at Apple Blossom Retreat. Gary and Susan were wonderful, kind hosts. The property is beautiful. The cabin has all that we needed for our stay. The location is perfect for exploring west Sonoma. It was a wonderful retreat!
