True Wine Country Living: 2BR Converted Milkbarn on Family Vineyard | Cottage in Forestville
2 Bedroom Cottage in Healdsburg, Forestville
A Historic Sonoma Retreat Full of Heart, History & Wine Country Charm
Hi there, I’m Cecilia, and I’m so happy to welcome you to our family’s vineyard and the Milkbarn Cottage. This special home sits right in the middle of our working vineyard in Forestville, in the heart of Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley.
The cottage was originally a milk barn built generations ago, and it still holds that timeless charm, weathered cinderblock walls, a tin roof, and original windows that have seen decades of country sunsets. We restored it by hand, blending the rustic with the comfortable, so it feels like coming home, even if it’s your first visit.
The Space
The Milkbarn Cottage is about 1,100 square feet and offers:
*Two cozy bedrooms and one bath
*A fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances
*A warm, inviting living area with a large TV, Apple TV, and YouTube TV
*Air conditioning and heating
*Wi-Fi for streaming or work (please note: cell service is spotty or unavailable depending on your carrier)
*An outdoor patio overlooking the vines
It’s a peaceful place to slow down, cook a meal, share a bottle of our family’s Enriquez Estate Wine, and enjoy life at a gentler pace.
Life on the Vineyard
Our property is a working vineyard and small farm, so depending on the season, you might see vineyard maintenance, hear tractors in the distance, or catch glimpses of harvest. We also have friendly outdoor dogs, cats, and sometimes free-roaming chickens.
The property is open to nature, which means it’s not unusual to see and hear coyotes, or even the occasional snake passing through the vineyard. We do our best to keep things tidy and comfortable, but the original barn windows sometimes let in small visitors like spiders or bugs. We like to think of them as part of the authentic country experience!
You’re invited to enjoy our wines during your stay (available for purchase), wander the vineyard paths, or simply sit with a glass and watch the fog roll over the valley.
What to Expect
This is country living at its most peaceful: simple, beautiful, and a little unpredictable.
Please know:
*Quiet hours: 10 PM – 7 AM
*Pets welcome with an additional fee (please supervise outdoors, property is unfenced)
*TOT Certificate: #2534N
*No smoking on property
*Wi-Fi available but cell service limited
*Occasional power or internet interruptions may occur during storms or heat waves
If you’re used to city living, this will feel like a step back in time, in the best way. Here, mornings start with birdsong and evenings end with starlight.
Location
We’re minutes from downtown Forestville, Sebastopol, and Healdsburg, close to some of the best wineries, restaurants, and small-town markets in Sonoma County. The Russian River is just down the road if you want to kayak or picnic by the water, and the coast is only about 30 minutes away.
I’m always happy to share local recommendations or help you craft an itinerary that fits your pace, from wine tasting and farm visits to hikes, bike tours, and hidden local gems.
From Our Family to Yours
This isn’t just a place to stay, it’s a place to belong.
So take a breath, pour a glass, and let time slow down. You’re home now, among the vines, the quiet, and the simple beauty of Sonoma County.
