About Barbara

Healdsburg ~ what a great place to live and to visit. Our 25 acre farm property has our home, 3 affordable vacation homes & 20 acres of vineyards. Walt retired and reinvented himself as a grape grower. We sell grapes to Rodney Strong and Ledson wineries & make family zin. Barbara gave seminars for K-6 teachers nationally and developed over 100 products for educational publishers. We love the wine country lifestyle which, for us, includes growing grapes, having guests stay here and living in the friendly wine country town of Healdsburg. What a beautiful place to wake up every morning ~ life is good.

Barbara purchased this cottage in 1992
Why Barbara chose Healdsburg

When we bought our run down farm property and sold our lovely home nearby, our children thought we lost our minds. Now they 'get it' and say we had vision. We knew we could add charm to the compound of homes on the property, live in one and rent the other 3 to visitors. And, we had 20 acres of empty land that became our vineyard. We added landscaping and our wine country dreams came true. It is gorgeous, a prime location just a 4 minute drive to town...and truly a wonderful place for us to live and people to visit. Many do not want to leave because they fall in love with Healdsburg. We did!

What makes this cottage unique

Location is everything when you are on vacation--we are 1 & 1/2 miles to the Plaza -- you can walk or drive 4 minutes. Having wonderful restaurants, shops, and 80+ wineries all closeby makes for plenty of things to enjoy. Plus the Russian River is an 1/2 mile away -- the swim beach and canoe trips add fun to summertime. Healdsburg is a friendly town for everyone to enjoy. Don't miss the Tuesday night free concerts in the Plaza in summertime. Great golf is nearby--we like the public course in Windsor + others in the area. Great weather & lots to do makes this a great place to live and visit. When we travel, return home and step inside the gate we always say 'Wow...we get to live HERE!' Thankfully, there's Healdsburg.

The setting was beautiful at the Country Cottage, even in early Spring prior to foliage being in full bloom. Very clean and mini-kitchen well stocked, such as paper towels, soap, zip lock bags, etc. The photos on the site are a true depiction of the property. The owners are honest and we enjoyed a welcome bottle of wine from them.

A very small bathroom, but it was doable. Overall excellent place to stay and terrific location to see Sanoma and the coast.

First let me say that words can't describe how wonderful this place really is. Living in Florida we have always wanted to visit the west coast and run a 1/2 marathon, so for our 30th anniversary we did both and stayed at Healdsburg Country Gardens. From the moment we first arrived Barbara was very pleasant and helpful. The gardens are beautiful and the area is sp peaceful. We enjoyed sitting on the porch drinking our coffee in the mornings. Barbara had everything we needed in the cottage including a bottle of wine that came from grapes grown in their vineyard. The Healdsburg area is very quaint with great restaurants and plenty of wineries. The next little town, Geyserville, has a coffee shop we frequented often to get our afternoon pick-me-up, The Geyserville Mud. Healdsburg Country Gardens is a perfect place to stay, convenient to everything, peaceful, and provided us with the perfect wine country experience. We will definitely be back!!

Owner's Response: Three cheers for you two running a half-marathon to celebrate your 30th anniversary. Congratulations! Sounds like you enjoyed the Healdsburg area a lot --there are so many fun things to do here beyond all the wonderful wine tasting. We'll have to zip up to Geyserville and try the Geyserville Mud for coffee ~ thanks for the heads up on that!
Keep running, Barbara & Walt

My wife and I have stayed there twice in the last five years,each time for our anniversary.We find the little cottage to be quite cozy and charming. While not too large, it affords us enough space to have a simple meal and plan our day for touring the vineyards in Sonoma Valley.The location is perfect,the property is beautifully maintained and the hosts are friendly.

Enjoyed the Charming Cottage

We loved Healdsburg! The cottage was perfect for the two of us and it is so convenient to town. The owners were great to work with for booking and very accommodating. A chilled bottle of wine greeted us in the refrigerator! We are bicycle riders and this area was perfect for riding. Lower traffic and wonderful vineyards to ride to and stop for tastings. The weather was perfect everyday we were there and that made for a wonderful stay as we were able to stroll through the lovely gardens that surround the cottage. We highly recommend the cottage for a couple who wish for a relaxing get away and time to unwind. Tom and Linda, Missouri

We loved staying at this property. It is a small cabin with a tiny bathroom, but it is very charming. It is nestled in the properties English style garden which was very pretty. The owners where very helpful and worked hard to make our stay special. The cottage is a small rustic cabin with a sweet porch and lovely view. It is very convenient to the town of Healdsburg and the town square. This has been our most enjoyable Healdsburg stay.

Owner's Response: So glad you enjoyed our flower-filled garden. Our guests tell us it's prettier than the pictures on the website. Today I snipped off some zinnia flower heads--I'll use the seeds to plant next summer's zinnias.
