About this house rental

***Update - August, 2021 ***

To see the current air quality at the home, please visit PurpleAir.com and search for Healdsburg, to the west of town you'll see our sensor called "Starlight Grove." Please message us if you'd like a direct link to it.

We recently completed major renovations on the house and I wanted to share the upgrades.
- Fireplace - we have installed a gas fireplace to keep you cozy
- Dedicated Fiber Internet - previously we relied on satellite internet which was unreliable at times. We now have business class dedicated fiber internet for all of your Zooming and streaming needs so you can quickly get work done.
- Renovations - along with the fireplace, we have new flooring, countertops and paint in the main house.
- Furniture upgrade - we also have upgraded with a number of new pieces from Restoration Hardware and vintage pieces.
- Hot tub - we installed a new hot tub in Dec 2019, so the hot tub is less than a year old.

(Updated pictures coming soon, please ask if you have questions.)

Welcome to Starlight Grove, the ideal retreat for you and your family. Just over an hour from the Golden Gate Bridge you will find yourself in a magical setting that provides instant relaxation. With a host of amenities you will feel like you landed in your own private resort.

We've created Starlight Grove as a wine country retreat with easy access to some of the best wineries in the world here in Sonoma County. It's a wonderful area for cycling, hiking & outdoor activities, or just relaxing.

The space

Accommodations:

Main House: A light airy house with Chef's Kitchen. 2 Large Bedrooms on the main level - 55 Inch TV for movie nights and and unparalleled views of the creek and surrounding gardens. All linens are organic and we pride ourselves on finding the best quality products for our guests.

Master offers a Queen Bed, Luxurious ensuite Bath and Walk-In Closet surrounded by views of the rushing water and Redwoods

2nd Bedroom has Queen Bed, dedicated bathroom, and fireplace, with views to the Garden and Pizza Oven.

3rd Bedroom, Downstairs and detached from the main house this room overlooks the creek with 2 single beds. It is ideal for teenagers. Please note: sometimes younger children do not want to sleep there because it has a separate entrance and no internal staircase to house.

Little Dipper - The Guest House - A cute and private cottage with own bath, efficiency coffee and fridge. A queen bed, and sitting area as well as a private deck overlooking the treehouse makes this the perfect private getaway.

The Treehouse - Kids (old and young) will be instantly charmed by our beautifully handcrafted treehouse. With private decks and sleeping loft - this is a bonus extra sleeping room. Includes sleeping pads, and heat and is fully finished.

The house in the redwood grove sits right along Mill Creek, which feeds the Russian River and runs year round. Between May and September the creek is wonderful way to stay cool, and there is a swimming hole on the creek steps from the house.

We love the contrasting colors of the sky and the green of the redwoods - during the day the sky is the bluest of blue, and at night the stars are right at your fingertips with no light pollution at all.

We love the Healdsburg area with access to world-class cycling, wine-tasting, culinary delights and more.

We feel so disconnected and unplugged when we visit this part of the world, and though wifi is available, the best screen time is outside staring at the redwoods and watching the birds and ducks in the creek.

We hope you'll enjoy this home as much as we do, its really a special place. Welcome.

Our family of five (2 adults and 3 teens) had a wonderful stay! The house is just a short drive to wineries and to downtown Healdsburg with terrific restaurants. The house is nicely decorated, the kitchen is well stocked and the beds and linens are high quality. The property is magical! We enjoyed exploring the treehouse and the creek. We also all had fun playing bocce ball and it was great to be able to bring our dog along for the trip.

We had the best time at Starlight Grove. The house was the perfect size, especially having the separate room with its own bath. We can’t wait to come back!

This place was amazing! The yard and creek are fenced in so we didn’t have to worry about our kiddos or dogs getting out. There’s a ton of space and things to keep busy. There’s a guest room up top with a bedroom with bathroom, then in the main house there is a master bedroom with an large bathroom (big shower and big tub), then there is one more bedroom in the main house. Bathroom is just across the dining room so they just used that one as their own. There is a tree house with a bed up top and a small area for a little kid to sleep below. Not big enough to put an air bed in or anything like that but it was so cute. Our kids were too little and too big to want to sleep out there but the littles did play in it lots. It has power so they could even play in it at night. Then under the house is a “hidden” room as my 5yr old called it. That is where he and I stayed. It was nice going down and hiding away from the noise when he got tired and needed to go to sleep. There is no bathroom down there but there is a sink and mirror right outside the door. Bathroom is up in the main house but there is a light that pops on if you needed to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Loved the creek and the hot tub. It was so beautiful and relaxing. You are missing out if you don’t get to experience this place! Hoping to plan a trip back next year.

Wow - what a great spot. It’s one of the spots where I kept taking videos to send to friends that were not there. The creek access, the bocce ball court, pizza oven and the amazing flow of all the space made for a really awesome time. I plan to bring my toddler back with me next time to play in the Sandy by the creek. No complaints! To note: there is a rental house next door that shares the same creek access. That blew our other wise very private vibe a bit, but all worked out just fine.

I was a little nervous booking a long summer stay here at first when looking at the temps but this place was truly perfect. We spent long days lazing in the tubes at the creek, grandparents teaching kids about frogs, skipping stones, watching birds and butterflies, story times in the tree house. The property manager was around whenever we needed anything but otherwise we enjoyed the quiet and privacy of having these terraced gardens, bocce ball courts and creek to ourselves. We hope to make it a family tradition!

The coolest home in Healdsburg!
The coolest home in Healdsburg!
This is truly a magical home tucked away in the trees, right alongside a creek. We absolutely loved our stay in this home. We jumped into the creek, played bocce ball, and enjoyed the sounds of nature from their large deck. If we ever come back to Healdsburg, we will be sure to stay here again! Other positives: easy check in process, great communication and nice local recommendations, easy check out, good wifi, and they even left us a bottle of wine!
