​ 4-Month Rental of Fully Furnished Home
In Friendly Cohousing Community
FrogSong Cohousing, Cotati, Sonoma County, CA

October 1, 2025 - January 31, 2026
$2,500/mo includes all utilities, Satellite TV, Internet, & Monthly House 
Cleaning
 
My 3-bedroom, 1&1/2-bathroom ground floor 2-story unit is 1290 square feet, 
fully furnished in an Asian / Scandinavian style with in-floor radiant heating, 
a well-equipped kitchen, and a small private garden which opens to a shared 
community lawn. Downstairs are the kitchen, dining room, living room, and work 
area with a desk and a half bathroom.  Upstairs has the 3 bedrooms and full 
bathroom.  

The main bedroom has a queen-size bed.  The 2nd bedroom is furnished as a 
spacious office, ideal for working from home with a desk overlooking the 
community meadow and a large screen monitor to connect to your computer.  The 
3rd bedroom is a multipurpose room with a library and home fitness equipment.  
When I have subletted before, I have used that bedroom to store the clothing 
and other items I’ve moved out of the rest of the house to make room for my 
subletter and may do that again.  Renters will be asked to sign a written lease 
and related documents, share financial information, and provide a one-month 
security deposit.    

Living at FrogSong Cohousing offers a rare opportunity to be part of a 
thriving, multigenerational, supportive community while enjoying the privacy of 
your own home.  FrogSong was founded 22 years ago and continues to be a 
well-functioning, collaborative, sustainable community.  FrogSong is 100% solar 
with parking and 20 EV charging stations (not included in rent) for electric 
vehicles. We have an organic garden, permaculture landscape with 79 fruit 
trees, a common house with a large kitchen, dining room, guest rooms, laundry 
room, children's play area, fully furnished wood workshop, as well as an 
outdoor children’s playground, BBQ, table tennis and hot tub.    

We gather in the common house 2-3 times a week for optional common meals, 
community meetings and various activities like movie or game nights.  We spend 
time together outside working in our vegetable garden, doing landscape work or 
getting together for spontaneous outings and walks. 

Neighborhood:  FrogSong is located in downtown Cotati, within walking distance 
of Oliver’s grocery store, restaurants and public transportation, including the 
SMART train. Sonoma State University is 3 miles away and offers many public 
musical and other events. Sonoma is renowned for its good wine, scenic 
coastline and redwoods, yet is only 55 miles north of San Francisco and 30 
minutes from the coast.

The Ideal Renter:  Must be a non-smoker(s).  We would especially welcome 
someone (an individual, couple, or parent and child) who is/are familiar with 
living in community and interested in exploring co-housing.  To get the most 
benefit from living in community, renters may participate in community meals 
and other activities.  I prefer no pets.

Future Rental Opportunity:  I may travel again for several months in 2026, so 
let me know if these dates don’t work for you but you might be interested in 
the future.
