Photos and Description of the Healdsburg vacation house rental
House, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 4-6)

You will enjoy exquisite views in this secluded, completely remodeled cabin with custom craftsmanship and detail in every room. The setting is private but within minutes of the Healdsburg square/plaza with antiquing, your favorite tasting rooms and wonderful restaurants. Wine tasting along Russian River's still-small and beautiful wine road is quite close and convenient.

Russian River access down the street to enjoy kayaking, rafting, or lounging on the beach. There are hiking trails to choose from just outside the front or back door, as well as biking. Within a short drive are some of the area's most beautiful trails and rides.

Climb a few stairs to a perfect little getaway with exquisite views and a very peaceful atmosphere. Hardwood floors and (heated) tile throughout with many windows for a very open feel, that never-the-less maintains total privacy. Enjoy the outdoor patio while taking in the views, napping or sipping wine.

Enjoy your own space with the master bedroom downstairs and one full bath, and upstairs you can enjoy a feather-top double bed with a separate full bathroom.

The private master bedroom is true luxury with French doors that open to views from a small private patio and an attached bathroom that includes glass tile, heated floors and custom cabinets, which are throughout the entire house. The house is stocked with all that you will need for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

About Heather

We are a couple from San Francisco who have long loved the Russian River valley and Healdsburg in particular. Sharing this place with others is a pleasure and a privilege for us.

Why Heather chose Healdsburg

It's a well-situated, peaceful getaway with stunning views & incredible craftsman detail. Healdsburg & the Russian River wineries are still intimate & small, yet sophisticated.

What makes this house unique

At the end of the paved road and up in the trees, time slows down and life feels quieter here -- but then Healdsburg food, shopping & wineries are 7 minutes away.

Beautiful spot

5 of 5
Submitted: May 16, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
We had a terrific time here. The grounds are lovely, full of herbs, flowers, and fruit trees. There's plenty of great places to sit (complete with chairs) outside to take in the spectacular views of the valley. Inside, the kitchen was perfect to prepare a few gourmet meals. The cupboards were well stocked with spices, and the grill outside worked perfectly.

We brought an air mattress so that each of us could have our own bed. If we had had a couple with us, the master bedroom would have been more than comfortable for 2 people.

Overall, great house. The pictures can't possible do it justice.

Above the trees and loving the view!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 19, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
Once we mastered the stairs and caught our breath, we were awestruck by the views and the cozy atmosphere of the house. Heather was quick to respond to some early questions that we probably could have figured out by reading the "house book" regarding the heating. We looked forward to arriving each evening with a bottle of wine we discovered on our day's wandering and some cheese and assorted foods we picked up at the local Safeway. The covered porch is definitely the best spot in the house, with wonderful views from up "in the trees" and comfortable seating for recalling the day's activities. This rental is a WINNER if you are looking for a central location for a wine country adventure. We visited the Russian River Valley, the Dry Creek area, the Sonoma and Napa valleys all within just a few minutes drive. Would definitely stay here again!

A great spot for your wine country vacation

My wife and I stayed at this property with another couple for a 5 day wine country vacation. It was so nice to be able to come home to this relaxing property after a long day.
The house is better than described, and the view of the valley is 10x better than what you can see here in the pictures. We spent most all our time on the porch hanging out, playing games, and enjoying the beautiful weather.
Also, don't let the many comments here about the stairs deter you from renting this house. Yes, there are a lot of stairs, but it wasn't nearly as bad as we were thinking it was going to be.
All-in-all, a wonderful property that we wouldn't hesitate to rent again or refer to friends.

We as a family enjoyed staying in this house for 2 nights. House was kept very clean and excess towels and sheets were provided. Loved the layout of the house. Russian river is close by and also the town. The house has a beautiful forest as the backyard. Can enjoy the silence at any time of the day. Would love to come back and spend some more time...
House was very cold when we entered, but after an hr, it was cozy and comfortable.

GREAT wine-weekend get-a-way!

5 of 5
Submitted: November 8, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
we stayed during a girls weekend where we participated in the sonoma food and wine experience. the location is GREAT if you're planning on sticking around the sonoma region. it is very close to downtown healdsburg and quite secluded. the road leading up to the house is quite windy, very glad we were told to not use a limo for our car service :) i really enjoyed the privacy it provided and the stairs leading up to the house really weren't that many. the house is fabulous on the inside and very clean. i will admit, due to it being in the mountains we did have a handful of run-ins with bugs (spiders, centipedes) but all in all i would 100% recommend this rental to anyone. had a great time and can't wait for the next visit! :) thanks again for sharing your place! cheers!
