Joy Cottage ~ Monthly Stays Available at this Peaceful Retreat in Occidental

*30 Night Minimum Stay Requirement*
Joy Cottage is a charming, fully remodeled, guest house in a forested residential neighborhood just outside of Occidental. It’s the perfect location for an extended vacation or solo work retreat. With a wrap-around covered deck, French doors, and energy-efficient windows, you’ll love the bright sunlight without the heat! Mini-split air conditioning/heating units keep the temperature comfortable inside or you can relax outside in the hut tub surrounded by trees or dine al fresco on the patio using the gas BBQ on the deck. Your well-mannered pup is welcome to join you at Joy Cottage and your adventures throughout West Sonoma County. Wineries, breweries, world class Osmosis Spa, and excellent food are all within a short drive.

The 185-acre Tannery Creek Reserve is protected by the Bodega Land Trust, allows dogs, and is just down the road. Joy Cottage guests are granted permission to hike in the Reserve under the home’s membership and with a signed liability waiver. It’s just one of the many incredible hiking trails in the area.

The historic town of Occidental packs art galleries, gift shops, dueling Italian family restaurants, and a cultural center into 2 blocks of small-town goodness! Nearby zip-lines and the Occidental Arts & Ecology Center will keep you busy!
