Had a wonderful time - beautiful area and property - would definitely visit again!

Great location, pictures accurately reflect home, clean, loved the herb and vegetable garden outside your door step! Great host, responsive to emails. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!! Thank you!

We had the pleasure of staying at First Crush Cottage to celebrate my 60th birthday. The house was stocked with everything you could need and the outdoor space was beautiful. We really enjoyed the welcome bottle of wine. Thanks Kimberly! We would definitely stay again.

We spent 4 weeks at First Crush and could not have been more pleased. The house is beautiful and well equipped. The location is convenient to downtown and to numerous wineries. The outside grounds offer several seating and eating areas and are surrounded by beautiful vineyards. Both the owner and her local property manager were immediately responsive to all our requests. And finally, Healdsburg has it all!

The house was perfect. Great weeklong stay. We had 2 couples and really enjoyed it. Loved the outdoor firepit which we used every night. Cooked in every night and the kitchen was well stocked and the back porch grill was nice to have. The property manager was very responsive when we ran out of propane one time. She was there in an hour. Loved it and hated to leave. Would definately book again.

An amazing house with all the amenities of your own home, including the best toiletries. A fresh herb garden right outside the kitchen door, beautiful roses surround the property and an amazing bottle of wine to compliment our evening meal. The added bonus of the complimentary wine tasting at Lambert Bridge was the the cherry on top. I'll definitely be back on my next visit to Healdsburg.

This home truly is perfect for a weekend getaway in Healdsburg! Just a five minute drive to downtown. A beautiful outdoor area with great views. Plenty of room indoors for a family or two couples. Looking forward to staying again!

My fiancé, parents, and I were in town for a wedding. This is a lovely property. My mom and fiancé could not get over how cute it is. The host and property manager are very responsive and easy to communicate with. If you are in the Healdsburg area I would highly recommend this place! The free wine tasting at Lambert Bridge is an added bonus!

The house was perfect for two couples. It has been recently remolded with beautiful finishes. It backs up to a vineyard and very close to a number of wineries and downtown Healdsburg. Thank you so much for sharing you beautiful home with us!

The perfect place to use as a home base to enjoy the Healdsburg area. The cottage is nicely decorated, in a bucolic location and yet centrally located. Kimberly was a wonderful host. Very responsive and accommodating. We would love to return on our next visit to the area.

Wonderful property! Perfect location for the run & relaxing & enjoying the Healdsburg area. The updated finishes were lovely. We look forward to returning.

A month of splendor in Dry Creek. Wineries in every direction, minutes from the Healdsburg Square and the coziest cottage ever. Absolutely perfect, ready to rebook!

The house has been wonderfully remodeled into a 5-star accommodation. It is centrally located for Sonoma County excursions and very near Napa Valley. It has a rural feel, even though stores and restaurants are a short drive away. The house is very comfortable and also has many seating and dining areas outside. If you want to cook, the kitchen is supplied with all of the cooking utensils needed. There is also a high-end gas grill outdoors.

This is a terrific place. A vineyard dream, oriented to the back. Street in front is busy; just a note. Again, though the front yard is huge and gorgeous, the back is heaven. Host and property manager, stellar. I couldn't say more. Enjoy!

Loved staying at the property. Super close for wine tasting and quick response from the property manager. Loved the fireplace and the welcome bottle of vino. Thrilled to use the outdoor fire pit the one day it wasn’t raining!

We had a wonderful weekend at the First Crush Cottage! The communication with Kimberly was excellent! She answered all my questions very quickly. The cottage is beautiful, clean and cozy. It’s perfect for a romantic getaway or a family. Everything is as pictured. The yards are lovely and the views of the vineyard and hills are breathtaking. We also really enjoyed our tasting at Lambert Bridge. What a fabulous bonus. We loved the location. It’s close to all the wineries, yet close to town. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage with us! We’ll be back!

This property is perfect for a fantastic trip with friends. The place is adorable and well-kept. We will be back!

The best property. Our second time renting. Such a cozy charming well equipped centrally located property. Kimberly is so easy to deal with and kind to boot! We will be back b

Had a great time in wine country as always. The cottage is a perfect location for those who want to concentrate on Dry Creek wineries, be close to Healdsburg for meals or activities and is also great proximity to Santa Rosa and Sebastopol. We tend to do a bit of it all during our week stays so really enjoyed this charming house and the convenience it provides us! My husband and I stayed with my parents and it is a perfect set up for two couples. I would highly recommend First Crish Cottage!

This house was lovely! The inside had everything you needed, and the outside gardens, firepit, and seating areas were perfect! Kitchen was extremely well-appointed. Just minutes away from downtown Healdsburg and walking distance to several wineries and lunch spots, why stay anywhere else? So peaceful and relaxing. Well furnished and stylish! Loved it.

We absolutely loved the location of this home as it is within close proximity to many outstanding wineries. Views of hillsides and even their own rose gardens and grapevines out back are so pleasant to see and make a perfect vibe for your trip. Cottage is well-outfitted, nicely decorated and cozy but nicely suited to 4 people.

We lived in Sonoma County for 19 years before relocating to Florida. We spend a month at the cottage to reconnect with friends and family. Crush Cottage was the perfect home for us. We spent every evening enjoying the incredible views, the firepit, the vines and the garden. The amenities are first class and the kitchen is truly a "chef's kitchen". We were comfortable entertaining friends and everyone loved the home - which felt like our home away from home. Looking forward to an annual visit! Kimberly was so sweet and responsive, which was much appreciated! Thanks so much for exceeding our expectations!

My mother, fiancé, puppy, and I tasted the romance of wine country over 4 nights at the First Crush Cottage, and found ourselves romanced by the authentic accoutrement one would imagine in a vineyard lined, zinfandel, baguette, and fresh cheese picnic daydream. The First Crush is more than a home in the wine country, it's a transcendence to a place sublimely isolated from the haste and pressures of daily life. Upon arrival we were greeted by sweeping lawns with delicately choreographed garden landscaping, highlighted with fragrant roses and a bountiful apple tree. Inside we were greeted by a complimentary bottle of wine which we immediately popped open and enjoyed on the spacious deck while taking in serene views of home grown vines, a vegetable garden, and idyllic hills just a short distance off. Over the next several days we enjoyed morning coffee and sunset aperitifs outside amongst the several cozy spots arranged about the property. Afternoons were spent exploring nearby wineries, hiking, and gandering the downtown boutiques. A highlight of the stay was the generously included private tasting at nearby Lambert Bridge Winery. Do not miss this. This boutique winery only produces small batches selectively sold directly to consumers. We leisurely enjoyed tasting their distinct creations while sitting out on a floral canopoied deck which overlooked sculpted gardens and vineyards stretching off to the horizon. For viticulture enthusiasts, First Crush is located directly in the the Dry Creek Valley AVA which is known for producing exceptional Zinfandels and Cabrinets. Plenty of local information was offered for our stay along with all we needed to relax and enjoy the home. The host is extra conscientious and responded to a minor inquiry almost immediately. We appreciated that level of interest devoted to the enjoyment of our stay. Everything was comfortable easy at First Crush. Along with country serenity, relaxed locals, and abundant things to do, we came away refreshed and happy. All was perfect. For anyone looking to get away and enjoy the wine country, we highly recommend staying at First Crush. It's worth it!

We had an amazing stay, as always. Comfortable and relaxing, quick access to lovely wineries and fantastic restaurants. Host and property manager consistently helpful and thoughtful. Can’t wait for the next stay.

We really enjoyed our week long stay. We wanted to escape the fog of San Francisco and it was fun to be in the sun in the beautiful wine country. And we got a lot of sunny warm weather! There were many great things about the house and also a few difficult things that may be true just for us. Pros: --The house is charming and beautifully decorated. Wonderful linens, cookware, outdoor furniture, very comfortable beds, and large beautiful bathrooms. —The rose gardens, small vineyard and veggie garden were so lovely! We used the basil and peppers for a meal or two! —We loved walking up to the Dry Creek general store for breakfast some days and lunch other days. —The wine tasting at Lambert Bridge was special and fun. Cons: —We brought our golden retriever and she has a nose on her. There is no fence in the front yard and the cottage is right on Dry Creek road—which has lots of cars and I high speed limit. I just couldn’t relax with my dog being outside without being with her, which was a little limiting. —The house doesn’t get a lot of sun light. And we worked many of the days we were there. It was a little hard being inside (even though beautifully decorated) without a lot of light. There also wasn’t any desks to work on. So my husband used the cute round table in the kitchen, and I made a desk out of the bed in one of the bedrooms. It worked but wasn’t that comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay at First Crush and especially loved the outdoor spaces, which are lovely. The cottage is conveniently located close to several wineries, the Dry Creek General Store, and downtown Healdsburg.. We look forward to staying here again!

The house has everything you could possibly want. The view is breathtaking. I woke up each morning having coffee outside on the sofa nestled under wisteria, overlooking roses and grapevines. My family and I enjoyed the short walk to the famous Dry Creek General Store for their scrumptious breakfast burritos. The town of Healdsburg is only a 7 minute drive away. There are wineries within walking distance. Kimberly, the owner, has made sure every detail of the house is top notch. From the appliances, the cookware, bathroom amenities and more, you will not be disappointed. The front and back yards are beautiful. I picked blood oranges, basil, cilantro, chives, mint and more! Hopefully you will be here when the garden is bountiful as well. You will leave here feeling as if you are leaving your home. Do not hesitate to book it, if it is available!
