Further details for this vacation house rental in Healdsburg, California

Activities and Adventure: There are activities to interest all ages & tastes, from winery tours, to hiking, biking, golf, swimming, kayaking, soaking in the hot tub, just relaxing, or watching wildlife from the deck. In town, there's the historic Healdsburg Plaza, with shaded benches and a gazebo.On a covered deck overlooking the river is an inviting hammock, a perfect place to spend a relaxing afternoon. For those looking for outdoor adventure and family fun, we offer two kayaks for exploring the river. Or try swimming, fishing from the dock for steel head rainbow trout and coho salmon, or take a leisurely float trip downstream 45 minutes into Healdsburg. There are two Daiwa fishing rods provided for your use (a license is required for ages 16 and older). We are located just outside the city limits of Healdsburg, in the heart of Sonoma County Wine Country, & enjoy frontage on the upper Russian River, where the water is clear & the river uncrowded for great family fun & outdoor adventure opportunities.

Nostalgia and Charm: The home is a charming and nostalgic river front summer home built in the 1930's. It retains it's original character and charm, and offers an enjoyable step back in time, while carefully providing contemporary amenities and conveniences for a perfectly comfortable stay.

Perfect choice: Location, Togetherness, Relaxation: The perfect location, close in, but seemingly far away. (Incredibly close to everything, but private, serene, and unspoiled. Situated less than a one minute drive from Healdsburg.) The perfect choice for getting away to be together - to bond and reconnect with family and friends. (Spread out over three stories. Find activities to interest every taste and age group, even a trunk full of nostalgic puzzles, games, and toys for children.) The perfect recipe for relaxation, to recharge one's personal batteries. (Try lazing in the year 'round hammock on a covered view deck. Sink into incredibly soft and comfortable leather sofas by the fire. Or, sit and gaze at the diamond-like sparklets dancing where rapids tumble over the rocks.)

Other Activities: shopping, kayaking, shelling, wildlife, boating, biking, health/beauty spa, hot air ballooning

Wine Country Retreat

Rocky Michael Cropseyville, New York
Review Submitted: October 13, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
All aspects of this lodging was much more than it was billed. The property was mell maintained, clean and most importantly private. We could not have chosen a better location . The Russian River in the back yard with wonderful accomodations, Clean, comfortable and quiet. For those who have not been to this part of California you are close to many wineries and eateries, not to mention the back drop of the landscape. The food at Zin, Sopa, Willys's Wine Bar and Raw Bar was fab. We also dined at Syrah Bistro , a treat. And for the adventurer head out to Jenner to the Rivers End. WOW! Do yourself a favor and check out Acorn Winery and Amphora !
We celebrated 3 birthdays while we were there and they will be remembered for a long time. These folks have done it right! They give you a wonderful place to rest and re-charge at the end of a fun packed day. Don't be afraid to stay there and just soak it all in. WE all would return in a heart beat! Do yourself a favor and go.

Frustrating experience

kcousins20 West Newbury, MA
Review Submitted: September 1, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
The views are beautiful and the owner responsive to our complaints. But those are the only positive things one can say about this rental experience. We felt that the house and property are much more rustic than described. The steep path to the dock beach was overgrown with bee-infested weeds, requiring river users to race through the brush to make it to the water safely. There were cob webs everywhere and insufficient dishes for a house that accomodates 9. The air-conditioning should not be advertised since only part of the house is air-conditioned - the hot upstairs bedrooms are not. And, this is definitely NOT a kid-friendly property. Finally, there is no washer/dryer, which is a must with any house. Lacking this basic amenity made it a very difficult stay. Overall, we would tell renters to use extreme caution if they are thinking about this place. We would never stay here again.
Owner's Response: We're very pleased when guests enjoy the Old River Lodge as much as we do, as we put a lot of thought and effort into making it enjoyable for them. These guests mentioned the beautiful view, and we agree! That's what led us to buy the classic old river property three years ago. It was old and quirky, but quaint and charming at the same time. We thought the trade offs were worth the effort, believing that there would be guests, like us, who would find charm and enjoy the unique experience of staying in an authentic, 1930's, knotty pine structure. We've tried to provide creature comforts without modernizing in a way that destroys character. We have much we intend to do, and are on a schedule of planned improvements. In July, we had a new flight of steps installed in the beach area, with another small area of steps to the dock will be replaced shortly. We also had the entire beach area cleared of vegetation this summer. A cluster of wildflowers recently sprung up, however, attracting bees. These guests called us to tell us of their concern, and we immediately responded to them by removing all of the wildflowers in the area. We must apologize about the unexpected heat wave during their stay. Heat is not normally an issue, but daytime highs were in the hundreds. This home does not have a washer and dryer, and we do not advertise that it does. What we do offer is a free wash and fold service, with pick up and delivery to the door. Regarding children, we verbally tell our customers, and include disclaimers in our rental agreement, letting guests know that the home is not child proof, as it located on a steep bank above the Russian River and is over 3 1/2 stories tall. We also inform our guests in writing about the "rural realities" to be expected in a wooded environment. The natural habitat of spiders, etc., is right outside the door. We clear cob webs as fast as we see them appear. With every inquiry about this property we direct guests to our WineCountryLodges company website to view more than 80 photos of this property, and read extensive information to determine its suitability for their needs. We try, also, to be responsive to all of our guests' needs. If at any time a guest is in short of any item a phone call to us will have us making an immediate delivery. While a rustic 1930's retreat might not have been right for these guests, we trust that many others will enjoy experiencing this unique blend of old time charm and gorgeous views.

Review Submitted: January 12, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
Fabulous!, January 12, 2009
My brother's family and mine (a total of 7 people)stayed here in late December. We loved the glorious river views, and the quiet, peaceful setting. There was lots of space for us all to spread out. The kitchen, dining room and living room, as well as the 2 decks were all great spaces for family gathering. The hot tub, kayaks and comfortable hammock on the deck all lent themselves to vacation relaxation. The beds were all comfortable as were the cozy comforters. The house is well appointed, but casual. Its location is fairly close to the charming trown of Healdsburg. The house met our expectaions and more!

What a wonderful retreat! My girlfriends and I had a terrific weekend sipping wine on the deck, relaxing in the hot tub and playing Scrabble around the fire. Great common areas and lovely bedrooms. What a treat!

You could have put a shack on this piece of land and I would have still flown from Cape Cod to stay in it. The house is really lovely--the setting is something out of Conde Nast Traveler. Clean, spacious, cozy, everything worked very well--good hot water, stong pressure, cold fridge--all the worries you get from rentals are not a factor here. Most of all the real treat was the bed we slept in was more comfortable then our bed at home (and we have a killer bed!)--What a bonus that was! The girls loved their nightly hot tub soak in front of the burning yellow, reds & purples of the sunsets. The proximity to town is perfection.
