Welcome to the Milkbarn Cottage, a lovingly restored 2-bedroom retreat nestled on our family-owned vineyard in the heart of Sonoma County. Once an original working milk barn, the cottage has been thoughtfully transformed into a warm, comfortable getaway that blends rustic charm with quiet luxury. Guests enjoy a spacious 1,100 sq. ft. home with exposed beams, vintage barn windows, modern furnishings, and all the comforts you need for a peaceful stay. Set among rolling vines and heritage trees, the cottage offers true privacy while still being just minutes from Forestville, Healdsburg, Sebastopol, and dozens of world-class wineries, restaurants, and outdoor experiences. We’ve stocked the home to feel like your own country escape: a full kitchen, Wi-Fi, a big-screen TV with Apple Play & YouTube TV, plush linens, thoughtful local touches, and a private outdoor sitting area perfect for sipping morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Our on-site animals, vineyard views, and relaxed setting create a feeling of being part of a working wine estate, because you are. As your hosts, we’re here if you need us. We live on the property and are happy to offer winery recommendations, dining tips, and concierge-style add-ons like private tastings of our estate wines, cheese boards, or help planning local adventures. Whether you’re here to explore wine country, reconnect with nature, or simply unwind, we’ve designed Milkbarn Cottage to make you feel welcomed, supported, and at home. Come experience the calm, charm, and character of our vineyard cottage, where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy Sonoma at your own pace.

Hello and welcome! I’m Cecilia, winemaker, animal lover, traveler, and your host here at the Milkbarn Cottage. My family and I own the vineyard surrounding the property, and we’ve poured our hearts into creating a space that feels peaceful, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I’ve been in the wine world for over a decade, and one of my greatest joys is sharing the beauty of Sonoma County with others. Whether it’s recommending a tucked-away winery, a farm-to-table restaurant, a scenic walk by the river, or helping you discover something new about wine, hosting gives me a chance to connect people with the experiences that make this area special. When I’m not making wine, you’ll usually find me with our dogs and cats, exploring local food spots, traveling, or curating unique experiences for guests and friends. I love making people feel welcome, like you’re staying with family, but with all the privacy you want. If you need anything during your stay, I’m close by and happy to help, from planning your wine-tasting adventure to offering concierge add-ons or simply giving you space to relax. My goal is to make your time here effortless, memorable, and filled with the ease and charm of country living. I truly hope you enjoy your stay at our vineyard cottage. We’re honored to host you and can’t wait to share this special place with you.
