Nestled amid the abundant vineyards of Sonoma County, Windsor, California was first settled it 1852 but remained unincorporated until 1992. Take a canoe or kayak out on the Russian River, spend the day at one of the local wineries, hike along the banks of the river or bike local valley trails, like the one along Westside Road, before settling in for a night of deep sleep at one of the area's many cottages.

Windrose Romantic Cottages

Located on a quiet, country property just minutes from historic downtown Windsor, Windrose Romantic Cottages offers a central location from which to explore the wineries of both Sonoma and Napa County. Find some sport at the Russian River, play a round at the nearby Windsor Golf Club or take a romantic trip aboard a hot air balloon. Upon arrival, choose a bottle of wine from the innkeepers' selection to go with the fruit and cheese plate you'll find in your room. The property features five separate accommodations of varying sizes and amenities. However, all cottages have private bathrooms, fully-equipped kitchens or kitchenettes, gas log stoves, air conditioners and bathrobes, and wireless Internet access is provided on site. A nonsmoking establishment, Windrose Romantic Cottages do not allow pets.
