We have been to The Secret Cottages many times before, delightful and relaxing.
Very peaceful and convenient for Sonoma and Rutherford. Also close are the springs.

A nice place, perfect for short stays
The secret cottages are in a great location, perfect for a short stay in the tiny town of Glen Ellen. The proprietor is engaged and responsive. I stayed for 5 nights, which was a bit of a challenge as cottage #6 is small, a bit dark and not as functional as I would have liked. There is a lot of extraneous stuff in a small space and limited surface area for ones things. A few suggestions: please add towel hooks in the bathroom and replace one of the 3 benches with a small desk or vanity; counter space is needed to improve functionality. Also brighter light bulbs would be a nice improvement.

We really enjoyed our stay at Glen Ellen Inn. It was the cutest little cottages backing on to a beautiful creek. We enjoyed the patio, sipping wine in the evening or reading a book in the morning. The staff was also very friendly and extremely helpful when we had questions about the area.

Glen Ellen is a tiny town. Glen Ellen Inn Secret Cottages are right in the middle of it. Super charming and quaint. Great facilities and tremendous, unobtrusive service. Tremendous dining just steps away at Fig Cafe and Glen Ellen Star and others.

If you are looking for a peaceful escape, the Inn and town of Glen Ellen is small and absolutely adorable. We stayed in Cabin #6 and the host Karen couldn't have been more friendly or accommodating. Everything you need is right in the space, with fireplace, jacuzzi, comfortable bed, amazing steam shower, coffee and a bonus of snacks! A Michelin "bib gourmand" restaurant, the Glen Ellen Star is a 2 minute walk away. We would definitely return. Thank you!!!
