Antique Indonesian teakwood cottage, private deck with hot tub and very special, large, artistic bathroom/sitting room, private for cottage guests only.. Beautifully rural, yet just 6 minutes from historic downtown Petaluma and fine restaurants and shops. A short trip to the Pacific coast and the fabulous Pt. Reyes National Seashore, Tomales and Bodega Bays and towns, excellent vineyards and breweries, and San Francisco! WE FOLLOW THE CLEANING AND DISINFECTING GUIDELINES ISSUED BY AIRBNB. The space The antique Indonesian cottage is made of beautifully hand carved and hand colored teak wood, and is quiet, cozy and romantic with lovely views. It abuts a large private deck and hot tub. Just a few steps across the deck is the very large, luxurious, art filled, centrally heated private bathroom and sitting area. The cottage itself is unheated although there is a premium electric mattress pad with separate controls on the California King bed. That and the hot tub make for cozy sleeping on chilly winter nights Guest access Aside from the private deck, hot tub and bathroom/sitting room (with 6' tub and shower), guests can access 2.5 peaceful acres, woods and fields and Helen Putnam Regional Park one mile down the road for spectacular hiking. Other things to note In the 1970's this property was Swallowtail Studios, a famous glass blowers cooperative. The Grateful Dead played in the barn and hung out here...their manager lived just down the road. The barn is redwood, quite large and beautiful, with stained glass windows."Antique Indonesian teakwood cottage, private deck with hot tub and very special, large, artistic bathroom/sitting room, private for cottage guests only..

    Such a lovely stay! Very unique property and we really appreciated the coffee and snack in the morning. Would definitely return!

    It was okay

    We loved a lot of what others have already mentioned here. Cute place, very interesting, comfortable bed, friendly hosts. Nice to get a coffee and snack in the morning. We enjoyed the hot tub. One detail that we were not aware of was how close this location is to the road. As someone who is sensitive to the sound of cars and trucks, it unfortunately dampened our enjoyment of what is otherwise a very sweet location and unique stay. I was glad to have brought ear plugs and a white noise speaker, if you are also a light sleeper or find the noise of a road hard to filter out, just be aware of this element.

    Bill met us on time and showed us around and explained everything. I don't think it could be any better. It didn't say anything about breakfast. Bill asked if we wanted any coffee in the morning and we said yes. When we got up the next morning we were surprised. Not only did we get coffee Michelle provided us with fresh fruit, coffee cake and coffee. What a wonderful surprise. We will be back again.
