The best thing is the view-truly spectacular. As stated in the description, and other reviews, there is a long winding drive up the hill on a very narrow road. You do have to drive 5mph to stay safe. The bedrooms are small but adequate. The bathroom is nice. The unit was clean. My main critique is that the place is "tired." The kitchen really needs to be updated. The toaster is old with burnt brown/black crud. Same with the coffee pot. The refrigerator and stove and dishwasher are very old. The cabinets appear to be 25 years old, or so, and the finish is deteriorating. The kitchen is functional but not esthetically appealing. For the price, one would hope for an updated kitchen. Again, the view is fabulous.

We had a great stay here! They owners were incredibly responsive and flexible. They also stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed when we checked in. The place is amazing - it's a secluded mountain retreat that is both removed from wine country, but also an easy 5 min drive to the heart of wine country and wine tastings. They have amazing views from the patio, where you see and hear only wildlife. There is almost zero light pollution, allowing you to see Milky Way Galaxy with the naked eye from the hottub in the evening. Incredibly quiet stay. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Sonoma Wine Country - especially Dry Creek and Russian River Valley.

We flew into SFA and made our way to the property with no problems. The road leading to the property is very dark, steep and windy so I recommend arriving before sunset. The location is perfect if you are visiting the area wineries. Visit The Bar and General Store at the bottom on the hill. The villa is very comfortable with comfy beds. The water takes its time heating up so plan for that. We enjoyed the views and our time on the terrace watching the sunrise/sunset. The kitchen is stocked with everything you'll need. I was happy to find a French press and electric kettle. We would highly recommend!

Dry Creek Villa is beautiful! Beautiful scenery and setting, very private. Great location to wineries and Healdsburg. Was nicer than expected. We had a great time there. Absolutely gorgeous. Would love to stay there again!

beautiful property

It was a beautiful setting. We stayed 5 nights but never met or heard from the owners at the other end of the driveway. Maybe they were not home during our stay or it may have been their practice to not bother renters. It is a nice home but could use a little bit of care. The fronts to all of the kitchen cabinets are in need of some sanding and a new coat of poly. I like to work with wood so I notice these things, but it is pretty apparent. We thought that the patio door should have had a screen so that we could have left the door open to get some breeze, but the mosquitos and flies were too abundant in the early evening. Not that I need bathroom towels to match but it is the little things that matter sometimes when you are renting a place. The screen over the sink has a decent size hole in it too so we could not have that window open either, one screen in the room that we stayed in was bent also so we could not have that particular window open because the wind would blow the screen in. Overall we enjoyed our stay but just felt that the home needed some updating. A little attention to detail, it would not take much to make it shine It has a great patio with great views, and is most definitely in a wonderful area.

We enjoyed our stay here! Steve was a very kind and responsive host and the views from the property were stunning. The only thing I would note for future guests is that the driveway is STEEP and we were not able to fit more than one car comfortably. When leaving the property, I was not able to turn my car around so I had to back out of the driveway down the major hill —without a backup camera, this proved to be challenging. That being said, if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is a great place to do it! We had coffee on the patio every morning and listened to the birds chirp (without hearing cars in the distance which was fantastic). Thanks Steve!

We had a fabulous stay at Dry Creek Villa. The property is well appointed and very comfortable, and the surrounding views are utterly breathtaking. Hope to be back soon.

Very cool place, great views and accurate house description. We wanted to go to a few wine tastings and it was a bit tricky to get a taxi as it's quite out the way but if you plan ahead, shouldn't be a problem. 10/10

Stayed with friends during barrel tasting. Great time, great place to stay at.

We had a lovely stay at the villa in the vineyard. We were surrounded by trees and land as far as the eyes could see. Our hosts were very kind and attentive. We will definitely come back to stay again.

Very comfortable, great views. The hosts were very accommodating. We would stay here again. This gave us a chance to see what living on a vineyard would be like. Remote, yet just minutes from Healdsburg.

Lovely place to stay while enjoying the surrounding area. The place is as advertised -- clean, comfy, peaceful.

We had a great stay with our dog. The hot tub was private and we enjoyed star gazing. We took a great walk down the road where the views were outstanding.

We loved our stay. The pictures didn’t do the beautiful view and landscape justice! It was a stunning place to stay and we loved it. Great communication with host as well.

Everything was exactly as described and excellently communicated. Beautiful views, comfy beds, and perfect location. Thank you!

Overall, great place, very quiet/remote, mostly very clean (hair in shower on arrival was a blip), beds/living area comfortable, well stocked kitchen, nice furniture, great hot-tub, amazing views over dry creek area. Hope to be back.

What a perfect spot

Wonderful property, amazing views, and fantastic hosts. This place is in a great location for launching your wine tasting excursions to Dry Creek valley, Alexander valley, and Russian River valley. We stocked up for everything at the local Healdsburg farmers market, Big Johns Market, and Journeyman Meats. The villa has everything you need for a patio perfect afternoon BBQ and then relaxing in the hot tub in the evening under the stars. We will definitely be coming back.

Words cannot describe how beautiful this place is. Views from every window! The star gazing was also truly something to behold. Our hosts were very responsive and even allowed us to enjoy their pool during 100+ degree heat. The drive up to the home is a little windy, but we were made aware prior to booking. Highly, highly recommend this spot — we can’t wait to go back!

If you want to soak in beautiful wine country views, then this is your property. It is a perfect location to relax and get away. We had a really lovely weekend in Healdsburg. Bill and Scott are such kind and responsive hosts as well.

Close to vineyards but far enough away for a relaxing time. Wonderful views of the small onsite vineyard and hillsides.

Very communicative and attentive hosts! Property was immaculate! Very peaceful but close enough to town for dining out. Would definitely stay here again.

I highly recommend! Amazing views and just a beautiful property. We took a nice morning walk up the road for even more amazing views. Great location. The owners were great about communication. We will definitely be back 🥰

The villa is very cell appointed. The setting on the hill is beautiful. The hosts are very helpful and friendly. Will stay there again.

This was a great place to stay for a few days away. Lake Sonoma was nearby for hiking. Only thing that could have been better was the weather.

This was a second year staying at Dry Creek Villa, and we again enjoyed the lovely home, the sweeping views and sunrise, and access to wonderful vineyards and biking. Springtime in this part of Sonoma feels quiet with roads pretty much to ourselves. Bill and Scott have always been friendly, helpful and communicative. It's been a pleasure coming and we look forward to next year!

The owners were both helpful and respectful. I called to clarify having our pet with us and they were wonderful and quick to respond. The home itself was clean, roomy, and comfortable. The road leading to it is a bit twisty but a slow drive makes the end place worth the trip! Would definitely book again!!! Great people!

This was perfect for our vacation. Quiet, prate place for our relaxed vacation. Will definitely come back here.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Dry Creek Villa. The home and property are beautiful. We especially loved the hot tub and the views out to the mountains and surrounding vineyards. Be aware that getting into/out of town requires a bit of extra planning if you're trying to avoid taking your own car.

Amazing place, great value and 10 min from town. Beautiful breathtaking views from the mountains Bill and Scott our great host

We had a wonderful time at Dry Creek Villa, wish we could have stayed longer! The views are absolutely breathtaking. We loved how close it is to town and wineries even though you feel so far away from it all. Enjoyed our morning coffee out on the patio and our evenings in the hot tub under the stars and the full moon! We would love to come again and will recommend to friends! Thank you Bill and Scott!
