What an absolute delight this place is, and just a short 15min drive from town. The host is responsive & accommodating, & the place is stocked with every ancillary item you'll need during your stay (super well labeled and stocked). It was clean & spacious & well maintained. A wonderful open floor-plan & common space makes socializing in a group super enjoyable & tons of natural light pours into the whole home. The surrounding grounds are well kept and gorgeous; a well maintained private drive & convenient outdoor+indoor parking. We enjoyed the lovely heated pool & tub, & will be coming back again! Highly recommend. 10/10 host + home!

The house was beautiful, amazing setting in the hills above Healdsburg, and a specular pool.
The house was very well stocked with everything you'd need for your stay.

I stayed here with 6 other people for a birthday celebration. It was absolutely fabulous and I can’t recommend it enough. Danielle truly thought of everything - a stocked kitchen, plenty of beach towels, shampoo and conditioner in every shower. The property is beautiful, surrounded by trees. We woke up every morning and drank coffee on the front porch and watched the fog lift. We swam in the pool and visited nearby wineries. It was heaven. The only thing I would warn future guests about is the unpaved road leading up to the house - it’s about 1/2 mile or so, but it’s very windy with a steep valley on one side. We navigated it just fine in a minivan, but it was slightly stressful in the dark the first time. But that’s the price you pay to get to the quiet, secluded property - absolutely worth it once you make it to the top. We loved our stay here - the best rental property I’ve ever stayed in.

This property is everything as listed and more. The house is beautiful and equipped with everything you need. My girl friends and I had the best time staying here, we loved everything about it and cannot wait to return for another stay. The best part of our trip was how amazing Danielle was, she was very prompt and attentive with her communications. Our check-in was in 4 days when the Point Fire had happend and we were on standby as to what we were going to need to do, but Danielle was on top of it and allowed us to wait it out, ensuring it was officially safe before giving us the greenlight to proceed with our stay. I love that she didn't at any point made me feel disregarded about our upcoming stay even with the fire scare. Another key factor that made this trip everything was her flexible accomodations. Overall, 1000/10. Will definitely be returning.
Thank you Danielle!!

What an amazing property, and an even more fantastic host. From the moment we arrived, until our departure we had everything we needed and felt right at home. The home was clean, organized and notes and instructions for everything. I can not wait to go back for another visit.

The house is beautiful, particularly the setting, it's very private. The host is communicative, however the day before we were to check in, I got an email that the remote that controls the spa is broken, and she has to do it remotely. Of course when we went to use it on Sat. night (when she supposedly said it would be on) it was warm, but not at all hot. We obviously had no means to control it, either. The Kitchen is also not stocked - pans are pretty minimal, and there was no olive oil, no veg. oil, or sugar for coffee. So bring EVERYTHING you need, apparently. Bedding was pretty uniformly terrible too, mattresses are basically futons and pillows are cheap. This house has potential but she has not invested the money to be renting it for an average of $750 a night. Lastly- it's about 25 minutes to town - Ubers and delivery drivers will not come, so be well aware of that. It's more of a place to come and chill and not leave, but again, come prepared because the house isn't. (Owner returned $200 to me after I told her spa did not work, but at my age it is more irritating to book and organize a friends trip and then find the house is not what was advertised than receiving 200 bucks back afterwards.)

Lovely home in a picturesque part of Healdsburg. The home and grounds are nicely maintained and the kitchen was well equipped. The configuration is ideal for a family but it would be a little more challenging for multiple families since the bathrooms are shared with the exception of the master en suite bath. Also the pool isn't heated, so it wasn't usable but the hot tub was fabulous. I recommend this property if you're looking for a relaxing getaway.

This house was amazing. Spacious, comfortable, well equipped. Warm wonderful pool and hot tub. Loved that it was so secluded and yet near dry creek. Outstanding.

We had a fantastic time. The pool was great (heated!) and the pool cover ensured it was always free of leaves. The house was very roomy and comfortable for everyone. It was very clean and everything was meticulously labeled. The kitchen was very well stocked. The gravel driveway to the house is a bit long but even city slickers could navigate. Highly recommended!

I cannot speak highly enough of this rental property and the owners. Everything was spotlessly clean when we arrived, it is very well appointed, check-in was easy, the owners were super responsive when we had questions, and the house is quiet, comfortable, and fun! I would absolutely recommend this property if you are considering it.

This home is lovely. Large with all the amenities. Host was helpful and very responsive. Secluded private place but close to Healdsburg and Russian river wineries. Definitely coming back!

I chose to celebrate my birthday with close family and friends at this amazing farmhouse in the hills of Healdsburg. This private oasis was just the right setting for a well needed getaway. The house was clean and well laid out with plenty of sleeping space. The pool was easy to use and just the right temperature. The hot tub was great for relaxation before bed. Loved the ping pong table in the back off the kitchen. Would definietly recommend. However, it's kind of a windy drive up the hill, so be prepared for that and bring groceries. It was about 10 -15 mininute drive back to civilization. Overall fantastic!!

Above the Dry Creek
Lovely
Private setting in forested canyon above the Dry Creek
Resort quality pool & would have been ideal with additional umbrellas ( only one at pool side).
Be wary of driving at night bc roads are dark, twisty & narrow.
Beautiful al fresco dinners under the stars !
Well appointed house.
Really lovely & memorable

Beautiful country house
This house was perfect! Very roomy, clean, and unmatched setting! It was out in the country, but only a 10 minute drive into town. Super private. Beds were comfortable. Truly felt like a getaway. We didn’t want to leave.

Perfect weekend getaway for family with small children
My family and I traveled to Healdsburg for Memorial Day weekend and stayed at this lovely Sonoma County home. The house is immaculate and easily accommodated our two young kids as well as my senior father. The kitchen is well stocked with nice appliances and utensils and we were able to enjoy some home cooked meals. My 3 year old enjoyed playing with the toys in the upstairs play room and the biggest hit of course was the large pool set atop a hill with a gorgeous view of rolling hills and trees. We all really enjoyed the privacy of being set back from the road, which allowed us to hear and see nature with an amazing view of the stars at night. Thanks for great communication and a relaxing stay. We would definitely love to return someday!

Amazing spot!
Everything about the property was on point. It felt close to town and wineries, but when sitting by the pool among the trees, it felt like you were far removed from it all. The setting was so beautiful and peaceful. House was spotless and very comfortable. Everything was in perfect working order. Loved our stay and hope to return!

Best family weekend, EVER!
From the moment we arrived at the property, we were enthralled with the location, the grounds, and the home, itself. We took all our nieces and daughters in law on a family trip, just us, no boys. The house was spectacular and very comfortable. The location was so accessible.
We are already planning a whole family trip this year with all of us. We LOVED this home and can’t wait to return.

Beautiful home in the hills
We loved our stay at Danielle's beautiful home up in the Healdsburg hills. Just 15 minutes from downtown, this place feels like you are really taking a step away from it all. The stars at night are magical, the sunrise on their beautiful porch was better than pictures can describe. Danielle was very responsive and helped with any questions we had. Highly recommend this place!

Awesome property
We had a great time visiting. The house is large and in great shape, placed among the forest up above the wineries below. The pool and spa were a great treat at the end of the day. Danielle is very well organized and quickly responded any time we needed anything. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Home!
We rented this home for my mothers 60th Birthday weekend, we had six ladies all together. The house was so beautiful and the area was just amazing. It was a bit of a drive to get there but once you do it once or twice it isn't bad at all. Just a 20 min drive to the square. Great stay!

So private!
This home is gorgeous, comfortable and so private. It has everything you could possibly need and the homeowners take special care of their guests. The drive up is a bit wonky (one-lane mountain road). But given the privacy, it was worth it. Loved.

Healdsburg secret getaway
This house is an amazing place to stay. The house is light and spacious and the bedrooms/beds are very comfortable. The outdoor space is also incredible and we got much use out of the pool/spa. It tended to get windy in the evening but we were inside by then. This was a lovely house and I would book it again in a heartbeat.
