Cozy 1 BR Cottage 2 Block Stroll to Sonoma Plaza.

Enter a private, secluded environment and get away from the busy world in this charming, old-fashioned cottage with many Irish touches -- but also with wireless internet connection and flat-screen cable HD TV with hundreds of channels. Enjoy the easy two-block stroll to Sonoma Plaza, where you can choose from Sonoma's best restaurants, wine tasting rooms, and gift shops, also Mission St. Francis Solano, the last and northernmost mission of the California Mission Trail. The cottage is a wonderful base for taking walks to the historic Plaza, coffeeshops, wine bars and nearby vineyards.

The traditionally furnished living room has a cozy, natural gas fireplace and sofa bed for additional guests for no extra charge. Our fully stocked kitchen has everything you need for preparing meals. The small room off the living room can be an office or nursery. The screened-in front porch is perfect for reading, and/or enjoying a glass of Sonoma Chardonnay. In September 2021 we built a redwood deck off the bedroom for outdoor relaxing or dining, and friendly deer are often, daily actually, sighted in the backyard pasture (they love apple cores).

My wife Rose and I opened the doors of Kate Murphy’s Cottage in 1984. We have thoroughly enjoyed meeting guests from around the world and playing a part in their visit to the beautiful Sonoma Valley. It has been a singularly rewarding experience. And now, I am welcoming my son-in-law, Rick Alatorre, to the endeavor. Rick will be your contact and is looking forward to facilitating a wonderful stay for you at Kate Murphy’s. Rick and I together will ensure that your time in Sonoma is relaxing and enjoyable.

Available at discount by the week, two weeks, three weeks or month, the cottage is ideal for anniversary celebrations, house hunting, visiting family and friends, or extended business trips. We have a three-day minimum stay policy.

We have instituted the following protocols to further ensure the health and safety of all our guests. Our staff and cleaning crew are fully vaccinated against the COVID pandemic. We require that anyone who enters the cottage for maintenance or upkeep or cleaning be fully vaccinated.

You are going to love Kate Murphy's Cottage; everyone does. Please read our guest reviews!

Sláinte,

Larry Murphy and Rick Alatorre

Perfect for two

This little quirky little cottage is the perfect place to stay when exploring Sonoma. It’s an easy walk to the square, has off street parking and is in a quiet neighborhood. The hosts were so nice and made sure we had all the information in advance of our arrival so check in was easy. Would highly recommend for a couple looking for a place to stay for a wine weekend.

Wine country getaway

This was our second time staying here and it was great both times. Walking distance to downtown Sonoma and many wine tasting rooms. The cottage is great and the owners are friendly and helpful. We even sat on the porch with them and drank wine our last night there. We look forward to returning, hopefully in the next couple of years!

We loved our stay, the hosts were very helpful and the location was perfect for a Sonoma visit. We LOVED the fact that we got to see a mama deer and her 2 fawns in the backyard every morning. The host was attentive and let us know before arriving they were working on landscaping the property but it had no affect on our stay. It was very quiet yet close to everything. We can't wait to visit again!
