Mornings start with coffee on the lawn. Evenings end around the fire pit under string lights, with the hot tub glowing a few steps away. This 1913 Craftsman in Santa Rosa's historic McDonald District pairs a 4 bedroom main house with a private guest cottage: 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, sleeps 12. Walk to downtown dinners, then let our private driver show you Sonoma wine country while everyone tastes freely.

About the Home

At 8am, the house is quiet and full of light. Brew a carafe on the Keurig, spread breakfast across the Taj Mahal quartzite counters, and cook on the Wolf range while the Sub Zero keeps everything cold. Someone always claims the clawfoot tub in the primary suite first. Take your coffee out to the real grass lawn before the day's tastings begin. At 8pm, the backyard takes over. Fire up the grill in the stone outdoor kitchen under the cedar pergola, gather around the gas fire pit as the string lights come on, and slip into the hot tub under the stars. When it cools down, move inside to the gas fireplace and the MartinLogan sound system in the living room. THE MAIN HOUSE Lovingly rebuilt with vintage hardwood floors, custom solid walnut doors and crystal glass doorknobs throughout. Primary suite: king bed, en suite bath with clawfoot tub Bedroom 2: queen bed Bedroom 3: queen bed Bedroom 4: queen Murphy bed, always down and made up, no setup needed Three full bathrooms Chef's kitchen with Wolf range, Sub Zero refrigeration and a Fisher and Paykel DishDrawer dishwasher Dining for the whole group, living room with gas fireplace, family room with a leather sectional THE GUEST COTTAGE A private 650 sq ft cottage with its own entrance and patio, ideal for a second couple, parents or a friend who likes their own space.

Good to know

🍷 Make This More Than a Stay — Let Us Drive Your Wine Country Experience This home is proudly managed by LegacyRnR, your local Wine Country hospitality experts. We don't just hand you the keys — we help you experience Sonoma like a local. Private Wine Tour Transportation is our most requested add-on, and for good reason: skip the rental car, skip the designated driver, and let every member of your group enjoy the tastings. Choose from: 11-Passenger Wine Tour Van — ideal for group tastings, birthday trips, or bachelorette weekends 6-Passenger Cadillac Escalade — ride in style for intimate wine tours, airport pickups, or dinner reservations Both come with a private local driver who knows the back roads and the best small producers — not just the big-name tasting rooms everyone else visits. Message us before your trip to reserve your transportation — these are popular and fill up fast, especially on weekends. Property notes: the main house and guest house share the backyard, hot tub, and outdoor kitchen, so if booking only one unit, you may see guests of the other unit using these shared spaces. Real grass lawn — pet-friendly if approved in advance. The third main-house bathroom has a shower only (no tub). Soap and basic toiletries are stocked. Early check ins and late check outs are subject to availability, must be approved in writing in advance, and are charged at 50% of the nightly rate. Guest Check In Form: After booking you will receive a link to our Guest App. Before arrival, the main guest completes a short check in form with their full name, email, phone, date of birth, a photo of a government ID (passport, ID card or driver's license), and an electronic signature on our rental agreement. Check in instructions and access details are sent only once the form is complete.

The Neighborhood

Located in Santa Rosa's historic McDonald District — a quiet, tree-lined residential neighborhood minutes from Railroad Square, downtown restaurants and breweries, and the gateway to Sonoma, Healdsburg, and Napa wine country. Don't want to worry about driving between tastings? Our hosting team offers private wine tour transportation — see "Other Things to Note" for details.

Guest Access

Guests have full access to the entire main house and the private guest cottage, including the shared backyard, outdoor kitchen, fire pit and hot tub. The guest cottage has its own private entrance and patio. Self check in is through a lockbox at the front door, which holds keys to the main house, the guest cottage and the garage. The lockbox code is sent before arrival once your check in form is complete.
