About this house rental

Enjoy extraordinary views and re-connect with what matters in this secluded, completely remodeled cabin with custom craftsmanship and creatively repurposed materials in every room. The setting is private with nearly 200 acres of unspoiled woods out the back door - yet we're just seven minutes from Healdsburg square with great shopping, a wealth of tasting rooms and restaurants to please every palate. Wine tasting along Russian River's still-small and beautiful wine road is close and convenient.

Climb the steps to a tranquil getaway with exquisite views, and you'll not want to leave. Our most consistent feedback is that this 'tree house' feels like a world away from it all with its own little peaceful gravity well.

This is not a house for partying or for folks who cannot handle stairs.

From April through August, enjoy walkable Russian River access down the street for kayaking, tubing, or lounging on the beach. Year-round, there are hiking trails to choose from just outside the front or back door, as well as biking and paddle-boarding on the river. Within a short drive are some of the area's most beautiful trails and rides.

We have hand-crafted hardwood floors and tile throughout with well-placed windows for a very open feel, that never-the-less maintains total privacy. Enjoy the outdoor patio while taking in the views, napping, reading or sipping wine. Or venture out back to take in 180 degree views from above the trees, BBQ under the open sky, recount the days' events, or just play horseshoes.

For all the charm & craft, you'll find that the layout makes sense. In the master suite is a Cal king bed, 'en suite' full bath and private patio. Upstairs in the guest bedroom are two extra long twins looking out into the forest, with a separate full bathroom on this main level. We also have two more regular twins available on the covered porch, as well as a convertible twin/full sofabed in the entry den. The kitchen opens onto the porch, looks out beyond the trees and is connected with the main living room.

We strive to keep the house tastefully appointed and amply stocked with all that you'll need for a comfortable & relaxing stay - from toiletries & hair dryers to a cook's kitchen, 'smart' TV & WiFi, and plenty of games for the playing.

We loved our stay and would definitely stay again when in Healdsberg area. Just enough outside of town to enjoy the quiet country side yet close enough to not be troublesome. The house is clean, well provisioned with comfortable beds and a stunning view from the covered deck which made our morning cup of coffee super serene. As noted the place is a bit of a challenge to find however once found don't let the stairs (53 of them) concern you - great exercise every day! Speaking of exercise the house is very near the end of the mountain road that then turns into a fantasic hiking path along a ridge down to the other side of the mountain. We saw deer on a couple of occasions while on our walks - very cool.

The cottage was cute, very clean, and extremely well-stocked with everything you would be likely to need. The listing described the many stairs to be climbed to enter the cottage, so we weren’t surprised. If you come in the summer, it’s important to know that the air conditioning unit only cools the lower level. The upper level got very hot. Also, there is only room to park one car. Our party had two cars, so the second one had to be parked at a bend in the (very narrow) road. It wasn’t a problem for us, but some people might not enjoy that.

One of the best vacation homes I have rented. Tucked away in the nature on Fitch mountain, while still being close to the town of Healdsburg. We had a wonderful time.

The view from this lovely cottage is superb and relaxing on the comfortably appointed front porch overlooking the distant hills dotted with vineyards was a high point of our stay. The home itself is absolutely beautiful -- well built, tastefully furnished and exceptionally provisioned. This is by far the best kitchen we've ever had at a vacation home. Highly recommend!

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The accommodations were comfortable. It felt like we were staying at a friends house. Beds were nice. Kitchen was well equipped and there is a great new refrigerator. A bit hard to wash dishes because it has a farmers type single sink. Some of the furniture could be updated. Prepare for the 68 stairs from the road to the kitchen and be prepared for fly's and spiders. It may be against California law but we could tell they didn't use an exterminator. All things considered it is a good property at a fair price.
