About this house rental

Designated a Heritage Home of Petaluma, this three bedroom, two bathroom craftsman is over one hundred years old. Built in 1911 it maintains much of its original charm and character... and a few quirks. Through the original diamond-paned front doors a cozy living room awaits. The open dining room features the original built-in hutch with additional access from the kitchen. A professional Wolf range and stainless appliances accompany a farm sink with butcher block counters and a coffee bar. (We’ve got you covered for your first rise + shine!) The vintage sideboard turned eat-in island features a black granite countertop and is the perfect place to gather for hors d'oeuvres or meal prep. Swing the French doors open and mingle between indoors and outdoors.

This home offers multiple opportunities to take in the well-loved garden. A large conversation pit of Adirondack chairs sits beneath a majestic Redwood –– one of Petaluma's Registered Heritage Trees. The side yard features dining al fresco with twinkling cafe lights above. The deck is a perfect place to enjoy breakfast under the market umbrella or hang out while dinner is on the grill. The front porch is an especially lovely place to take in the pedestrian traffic on a busy Petaluma weekend, whether from the stoop or while foraging for berries in the garden.

Just off the kitchen you will find a laundry room complete with washer, dryer, staples, ironing supplies, reusable grocery bags, recycling bins and access to the downstairs bathroom. This Jack + Jill style bathroom is also accessible from the main floor's bedroom, which is off the dining room.

At the top of the stairs you will be greeted by an open landing with a nice work table and large closet. Off the landing are two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and space for a portable crib, and another with a queen bed. The upstairs is filled with odd-bungalow-angles, little nooks and curious doors. One bedroom opens up into a bonus space which was once the most magical playroom. While this room still boasts an easel, a dollhouse and a formidable lego collection, today this room serves as a place to watch TV, read or catch a nap while the kids are busy. The upstairs bathroom features a claw foot tub in addition to a separate shower stall and double sink vanity.

Each of the three bedrooms features a queen bed, feather pillows, two down-alternate pillows, high quality sheets, down comforters with duvet covers and extra blankets should it be chilly. The bathrooms are outfitted with plenty of towels and toiletries. The coffee bar has enough supplies to get you through your first morning and there are basic condiments available in the kitchen. The prime location of this home is what drew us here to begin with. We instantly became daily shoppers, walking to the market to fill a bag for our evening meal — a little urban touch in the most charming small town on the edge of some of the most beautiful countryside… right outside your vacation front door.

We absolutely loved this home! Thank you for a wonderful stay. We were here for a family wedding and felt we had the best accommodations. We were so close to the wedding party hotel, downtown, the river and great restaurants! Super walkable location, easy parking, and the home itself was incredibly comfortable. We enjoyed the adorable front porch, the great rear and side yard as well as a the cozy living areas. Couldn’t have been happier! Highly recommend!

Our family of six was in Petaluma for a wedding and we all wanted to stay together. The Roost was perfect for us. Everything about the home felt warm and inviting. There was plenty of room for us to both spread out and gather for games, meals and relaxation. The kitchen was a highlight; well stocked and ready for use, not to mention, beautiful! The location couldn’t be better, close but not too close, to the center of town. A rare find in our sea of travels!!!!

The Roost was the perfect home for our stay in Petaluma. Right on the edge of downtown tucked in between city hall and a quiet neighborhood - walking distance to absolutely everything in town. It struck us a great combo of brand new appliances and facilities in an older house with quirky loving and peaceful decor. Everything was stocked - we were mid-way through our trip to the US (we live in the MidEast) and could have a cup of much needed coffee ready in the kitchen *AND* do our laundry upon arrival in a simple to use new looking machine thanks to laundry soap ready for us. We were able to help prepare fruits & salads for our family event nearby and walk everything over and back as needed throughout the weekend. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the equipment one could imagine and labelled clearly for ease of returning after use. We had more room than we needed for 4 adults to spread out comfortably and organize our travel gear and repack. Thanks to the thoughfulness of our hosts we could iron the suits for the wedding we came to attend and hang them on the plentiful hooks until showtime. We enjoyed the books & games in the house and the ease of access to the house. Beds were super comfy: we slept really well. An extra blanket was appreciated. Really - anything we thought of was ready for us in this house. The back porch of the Roost was our perfect gathering spot in the beautiful weather to share a drink or a meal as we planned our next move. Recommend highly!!!!
