Great place for an extended visit

I've stayed here before and would not hesitate to stay again. This place is perfect for a short or a long visit as it is very clean, well stocked, quiet and in a great location. I especially enjoyed the fact that it is separate from the main house and is equipped with a washer and dryer.

Perfect spot in Sonoma County

This was a perfect spot for a family visit. Just 15 minutes from our son’s home and close to Sebastopol was very convenient. The property was very cozy and the owners do a great job of stocking the kitchen and bathroom with just about anything you’d need. Everything was clean and comfortable and the property was quiet and well kept. We’ll definitely stay again.

Great stay

The Mod Podge was perfect for my stay in Sebastopol. It has everything you need and is so comfy. It’s a perfect location to explore Northern California and I can’t recommend it enough. Close to restaurants, wineries, hiking trails, and great little shops. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again on my next trip to California.
