Cozy cabin, nice decks, well stocked kitchen, very responsive host... I recommend this property

The Cabin at Fitch Mountain was rustic as described. We only used the deck off the living room. All the other decks needed cleaning and/or repair. The king bed was comfortable and linens were adequate. The stairs to the front door and the staircase to the master bedroom could be problematic for someone with accessibility issues. Thanks, Sue, for your suggestions and recommendations for food, winetasting and activities.

Coming from the flat lands of Florida this was a wonderful experience of being “in the mountains”. Watching the mountain top appear in the morning sun is worth getting up early. We had some very cold weather the time we were there but the fireplace was amazing for both heat and ambiance. And there was more than enough wood to keep us going! A true rustic cabin experience. The owner Sue was great to work with providing all the information we needed.

The cabin was described as an affordable rustic gem. We did find it rustic but not a "gem". We paid nearly $500/night, so not exactly affordable.
We liked the wood stove, which was crucial because there wasn't central heating. Many of the electric wall heaters weren't functional or minimally so. We made use of the many blankets for warmth.
The mattresses were too soft for comfort. The downstairs shower head dribbled instead of sprayed. The upstairs bedroom and shower were more appealing.
Other than the beds, the cabin was well furnished with comfortable couches, a rustic dining set and a wonderful rustic rocking chair.
The kitchen was well supplied and functional.
All in all, we could see that the cabin would be great during warmer weather but lacked the important amenity of central heat during cooler times.

Very comfortable for two couples. Excellent location-less than 10 min from Healdsburg.

When we arrived there was a layer of dust everywhere, refrigerator door handles were sticky and counters were a bit grimy. The place smelled musty. The shower door downstairs didn’t close and there was no bar soap. We didn’t need the heat or air conditioner with its cut electrical cord and scotch taped sign. There’s a lovely deck which we didn’t get to use because of the rain.

Thank you for a lovely stay in your cabin! The views were lovely. It was easy to use as our base while we took in various wineries each day. We really appreciated your efforts to get us information for our arrival. You took extra steps to maket that happen.

A mountain cabin get away
The best part about this place is it’s big main deck. We spent 90% of our time there, eating meals, drinking wine, playing cards. It is rustic. Don’t expect immaculate - remember it’s on a mountain so lots of outdoorsy vibes. It’s not secluded though, as we thought. You’ve got lots of neighbours. Sue is really wonderful at keeping in touch and giving info. If there is one thing you do while here, visit Limerick Lane Winery. Andy had the best stories!!

Wonderful 4th of July Weekend!
The house was perfect for our family of 4 to spend a long weekend. The location to the river and downtown is unbeatable and communication with Sue was flawless at all times. We even left a small item at the home and Sue worked with her housekeepers to find it and send it back to us. Could not be more grateful for this gem and we will definitely stay here again anytime. Thank you, Sue!

Challenging
The weather was very hot when we arrived. When we entered the cabin it was dark and hot inside with no lights on, blinds tightly closed and no air conditioning. Thankfully, the cabin had fans which we used. The railing for the stairs outside the cabin was very wobbly, making it difficult and unsafe for the elderly people in our party to climb the stairs. We were thankful the weather cooled down so we were able to finish our 6 night stay. The living room sofas were nice and the beds were comfortable with Memory Foam Toppers. We hadn't realized the cabin would not have a dishwasher and regretted the lack of sanitation it provided. The description of the cabin should have noted its rustic nature, many stairs outside and inside and lack of a dishwasher as well as forced air and heat. We turned the television on but none of the remotes provided worked.

This cabin is perfect for a weekend away. It is close to downtown and to the river!
The kitchen is well equipped for cooking all meals and the grill is an added bonus.
The best part of the cabin is the large deck with views. We spent most of our time enjoying the outdoors!
Will be back for sure!

We had a wonderful stay in this rustic cabin on the Russian River. Everything was just as described and in working order. We sat on the deck and sipped wine. We built a cozy fire in the evening and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Location is right in the center of Alexander Vally and minutes from Healdsburg. We had a great time.

The location can’t be beat, close to town and a short walk to the river. The accommodations were listed accurately and reflected well in other reviews. For us, it was just right. We Spent the day at the river or in town, came back to enjoy the patio and view, and when it got chilly came in and lit the stove. Not a chef’s setup; all our meals were take-away.
Great spot for a low-key getaway to enjoy Healdsburg, play board games, not to be distracted by things and frills. We’d come back.

Repeating a previous review. No heat except the stove insert. Not an ideal cabin if wet and cold out. Tight parking and hairpin turns, glad we had a sedan. Other amenities did not function properly. We made Sue aware of all the challenges. We made it work and Sue, being out of the area did what she could.

This cabin was very convenient for experiencing Healdsburg and was well-equipped and clean. The outdoor balcony is very nice, weather permitting. The layout is not ideal for seniors due to a lot of stairs. We enjoyed our stay!

On the whole we enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The large porch and its view were the high point. It is just a few minutes walk to the river and gravel beach. Sue was responsive to our needs and questions. However. There are quite a few stairs outside to get to the cabin and another steep set to the upstairs bedroom. While the bathrooms and kitchen were clean, the whole house needs a deep cleaning. The interior is dimly lit. There is no air conditioning and the only working heat is the stove inset fireplace. The driveway was very difficult to navigate in our medium sized SUV. So, adjust your expectations. This cabin has good points and is certainly better than camping on the riverbank, but it is not as modern, gleaming, and posh as other accommondations in Healdsburg.

Sue was very responsive and easy to dialogue with. Her property was exactly as advertised and the location was beautiful :)

Hidden in the woods, yet just minutes from all that Healdsburg has to offer. A very comfortable cabin, nothing fancy, but the beds were exceptional.
The only thing I would warn others is that there are a lot of stairs ... a LOT OF STAIRS. We are all in our 70's and in good shape, so we did ok, but the stairs up to the bedroom would have been too much for some. Just saying it should be disclosed in the description to avoid any disappointment. Also, no place to hang clothes upstairs, tons of drawers which was great, but had to hang dresses downstairs AFTER we went to the store for hangers (not a one in the place) ... there is now, however, because we left the ones we purchased.
Don't get me wrong, these were little things ... overall the stay was perfectly lovely! Amazingly quiet and peaceful ... a total getaway ... and a great bargain for the area! We would rent again for sure!

For those looking for a rustic cabin getaway in the woods that is distinctly not Healdsburg "hoity toity," yet just minutes away from all the upscale amenities the town offers, this is the place for you. This mountain cabin with charming knotty pine walls and decor is quite a bit more spacious than we expected from the photos. The ambiance is especially great during the day. The ceiling fans are so nice and we were comfortable in the warm weather. The kitchen is well stocked. The big patio among the trees is absolutely FANTASTIC and we especially enjoyed morning coffee and evening meals there. So pleasant. Beds are very comfortable. Excellent proximity to the river where we spent our days (easy walking distance with ability to quickly drop off gear with the car--but NO parking at the river). Sue is a terrific host and excellent communicator. She promptly responded to all inquiries/questions and offered helpful local tips. While a few minor upgrades would make a big difference--garbage disposal, updated TV, better lighting, and periodic deep-cleans, those who seek a tranquil rustic retreat will enjoy this place. Overall, we were very pleased, had a great time, and will return!

My family and I had a great time at this cabin! It was very close to the river which was the main reason we went to this spot (walking is about 3 mins). Also, a great location to downtown. For the price, you cannot beat it and the views from the deck were relaxing and beautiful! It's a cabin so don't go in thinking you will get the frills and amenities of a place more centrally located in HB. For our family it was a great spot as all we were looking for is a place close to the river and it suited us perfectly!
On top of that Sue was beyond responsive and was an absolutely outstanding host that answered our questions and needs in a very timly fashion!
