Stayed Apr 8, 2026The entire stay was a nightmare. A bit important was the fact the step up into the living room and the step up or down to enter the bedroom and the office was not, if I remember correctly, emphasized in the description of th rental. This may seem insignificant but for old timers (I'm one) I would have liked to know it was something we would encounter.Then there is the issue of overloading the power: We were advised not to run the heater/dryer/etc. at the same time because it was an old house and its wiring may not be able to handle it all. If we lost power, we were instructed to contact the owners to fix it. Well, not due to anything we did, the cottage lost power due to the power company doing some sort of work and they forgot to turn the power back on (this after eight or so hours of no power, which caused us to discard 10 worth of food in the refrigerator).So after not having power that initial time, we were reluctant to use anything that might use too much power, such as a heater, so one night we spent a rather chilly evening in the bedroom.The owners responded nicely but in a word: NIGHTMARE. The cost vs. the trouble was unbearable.

Stayed Apr 3, 2026We had a fantastic stay at this VRBO! The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The space felt welcoming from the moment we arrived, and it had everything we needed for a relaxing trip.The location was perfect—close to local restaurants, and shops, yet still quiet and peaceful.

Stayed Jul 6, 2025The cottage and grounds are delightful. We stay there when we visit relatives in Sonoma. The cottage is completely comfortable, and we love to relax there and watch the many deer who visit the property. Books, magazines, and reading material are abundant. The smart TV has cable and it is easy to stream. The furniture and beds are inviting. We cook in the kitchen, which is perfectly equipped.The host and family take care of everything within minutes. All this and a 5-10 minute walk to the Sonoma square and its many delights. If you like to swim, Sonoma Splash pools are less than 1/2 mile away. This is our Sonoma home.

Stayed Jul 18, 2025We loved our stay, the hosts were very helpful and the location was perfect for a Sonoma visit. We LOVED the fact that we got to see a mama deer and her 2 fawns in the backyard every morning. The host was attentive and let us know before arriving they were working on landscaping the property but it had no affect on our stay. It was very quiet yet close to everything. We can't wait to visit again!

Stayed Jun 27, 2025This was our second time staying here and it was great both times. Walking distance to downtown Sonoma and many wine tasting rooms. The cottage is great and the owners are friendly and helpful. We even sat on the porch with them and drank wine our last night there. We look forward to returning, hopefully in the next couple of years!

Stayed Jun 18, 2025This little quirky little cottage is the perfect place to stay when exploring Sonoma. It’s an easy walk to the square, has off street parking and is in a quiet neighborhood. The hosts were so nice and made sure we had all the information in advance of our arrival so check in was easy. Would highly recommend for a couple looking for a place to stay for a wine weekend.

Stayed Jun 21, 2025My 3-year-old and I were visiting Sonoma for a few days and landed at Kate Murphy’s Cottage. It’s well stocked, has real rustic charm, and is close to absolutely everything in Sonoma. We loved seeing our little visitors (see picture) in the mornings. We’d certainly stay again. One note that might matter to some who go to bed later than their travel partner: there’s no bedroom door. It wasn’t an issue for me, as I enjoyed quiet evenings and mornings on the screened-in porch.

Stayed Jun 5, 2025Fantastic! Of all the places to stay in wine country, I would pick this place every time. The location can't be beaten, just a couple of blocks from Sonoma Plaza. The cute decor and old house charm brought back fond memories of staying with grandparents. The bed and linens were super comfortable memory foam and the shower had great water pressure. The front sun room and back deck are fantastic spots to unwind after a day of wine tasting. I saw tons of birds and a whole family of deer with two young fawns. Having a washer and dryer available was so appreciated on the end of a work trip in San Francisco.The hosts, Rick and Monica, were extremely easy to work with and communicated proactively. Worth noting, the cottage sits on a lot behind a larger house, with another garage-type building beside it. While I didn't see another person there my entire stay, if you're looking for an ultra-private spot, this is good to know.

Stayed Nov 23, 2024Kate Murphy’s Cottage is a welcoming place to unwind from the busyness of life. The cottage is snuggled under trees next to a murmuring creek that softens the sounds of the neighborhood. Furnishings are simple and comfortable, while the basics are easily found in neat cupboards, cabinets, and closets. The backyard deck provided hours of peaceful reflection enjoyed with wine secured from local vineyards. Entertainment was provided by squirrels and birds. A couple of times a doe and her fawns stopped by. A buck (male deer) briefly greeted me one morning at the front porch door as he sauntered on his way. The internet connection was robust, and the television was easily navigated. The many and varied shops, eateries, and entertainment of Sonoma are a leisurely walk from the cottage. And when walking through the neighborhoods, we were always greeted with friendly a ‘Hello!’ Our hosts were welcoming and warm. They kindly inquired as to our comfort unobtrusively. We are happy to have experienced the hospitality of Kate Murphy’s Cottage.
