Santa Rosa, California
The Speakeasy Cottage is located one hour north of San Francisco nestled on a 20 acre private ranch off of Scenic Hwy 12 in Kenwood, CA. Our late Aunt Sally Stanford purchased the ranch in 1961 as a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of San Francisco. She was San Franciscos's most famous Madame and Sausalito's former Mayor. We named this rental 'Speakeasy Cottage' as a tribute to her illustrious career.
The cottage is located right in the heart of Sonoma County wine country in an area that is well known as the Valley of the Moon.

Beautiful place. Very relaxing and quite. Property owners are wonderful.
We absolutely loved staying here. We were in town for Thanksgiving week and it was great to return to this peaceful spot every day after spending time with family and friends. The setting is beautiful and the cottage is bright, cheery and spacious. The private outdoor area is a real plus too. Highly recommend!
This place is cozy and our host, Judy, was sweet and attentive to make sure our stay was perfect. Loved how stocked the kitchen and bathroom were. If we would have forgotten something, it would have been available. Great outdoor sitting area with a heater for the chilly mornings.
This cottage is so comfortable. Sit with your coffee in your private backyard in the morning being entertained by hummingbirds, and watch the colors change on the mountain when the sun sets from your living room window. Extra special -- after a 6 hour flight and 2 hour bus ride, having wine, cheese and crackers stocked was great. All the condiments, pots and utensils to cook full meals. We can't wait to come back again! Judy is an excellent host.
Thanks again Judy. See you next time!
Hosts were so nice and communicative, and stocked the kitchen with everything we could have wanted and more, including a bottle of wine and cheese and crackers ! The location is right in the middle of wine country and so close to great wineries which we visited. Also went to the state park nearby and had a great hike !! Highly recommend this property and I hope to return !!
Spent four wonderful nights in this immaculate and spacious cottage. Ideal for two people. Lovely patio with umbrella table to enjoy the evenings and very peaceful nights. Judy thinks of everything to make your stay comfortable.
My wife and I were lucky to find this peaceful retreat that was perfectly located to jump off to where we wanted to visit. The house had been stocked with food, wine, and had several other amenities that we haven’t ever seen in a rental. It felt like home the moment we settled in. I was able to do the Hood mountain hike, which is across the road from the property, and look out all the way to the Ocean and see the property right below the mountain as well. We would often end our days with a glass of wine and a stroll around the property to enjoy the wildlife. Our hosts checked in on us and made sure our experience was easy to enjoy. The whole experience of staying there was the perfect retreat for us without our kiddos.
Everything about the cottage that we stayed in was great. We were most impressed with how clean the property is. We loved meeting Judy and thoroughly enjoyed our time in Sonoma. Will stay here again for sure.
We have stayed at this location several times and it never disappoints. Judy is such a great host. She always makes sure the little things are covered. It is so relaxing and comfortable. This time we were greeted to a nice Christmas floral arrangement to help make the holidays special. Judy is super responsive if there is ever a concern and she checked on us during the stay to make sure everything was okay. Love this place.
The speakeasy was clean, light, comfortable and spacious. The tv was easy to use with directions on how to use it. The bathroom was newly remodeled with a great shower and lots of personal supplies. The kitchen was stocked well and even provided milk, juice, soda and a bottle of wine. The owner communicated very well and accurately. We would definitely stay here again.
Location was ideal with easy access to Sonoma, Yountville, and Santa Rosa. For two of us, the cottage was the perfect size. Amenities were aplenty and stocked with everything we could have needed. The wine and cheese in the fridge were a nice touch. The outdoor heat heat lamp on the patio was great for cool evenings. Judy and Dave were wonderful hosts; available if we needed and respected our privacy. Learning more about Sally’s story was neat, too. All in all, it was the perfect relaxing getaway and we hope to return!
We loved staying at the Speakeasy Cottage! Judy and Dave are wonderful hosts! We arrived late on our first day and there was local cheese and their own branded wine awaiting us in the fridge which was so wonderful after a long travel day. There was even coffee, cereal, and milk for breakfast the next day. They also provided a list of area recommendations which was greatly appreciated. All these extra touches made our stay very memorable. The cottage itself was very spacious and had a beautiful outdoor fenced-in area to enjoy morning coffee and afternoon grilling. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The hosts provided everything you need for several days stay. We will be back to the Speakeasy cottage for sure.
We have stayed at this location at least five times now and it never disappoints. Judy does a great job with some many little touches. the fridge is full of good things, kitchen well stocked for cooking and lots of nice touches in the bathroom. This time we had trouble with the cable TV and Judy got it fixed quickly. The internet connection is great for anyone wanting to work from anywhere. Close to several great wineries. Highly recommend.
Had an absolutely wonderful time. We will be back. Thank you Judy.
The cottage was very comfortable, impeccably clean, well located, and supplied in a tremendously thoughtful way. The bed was very comfortable and the fenced-in patio with seating for four and a charcoal grill very welcome. Judy is a splendid owner and a pleasure with whom to work.
We had a wonderful stay in the Cottage and it was very easy to get everywhere. We really appreciated it being so well stocked! The cottage was lovely and very clean. Judy was very responsive before our arrival and made a point of introducing herself when we were outside. I would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting the Napa/Sonoma area.
