Healdsburg, California
Escape to wine, water, nature, and cozy cabin comfort that's a short trip from San Francisco (1hr 15 min) and only minutes to charming downtown Healdsburg and Dry Creek Valley wineries! Situated directly on the beautiful Russian River (you have direct access to the river), the cabin is a perfect getaway for wine tasting, river fun (private beach, canoe/SUPs), and Healdsburg access (9 min). Built in 1949, we've kept the cabin's rustic charm, but updated it with modern design, conveniences, and comfort. Perfect for couples or a family.
Recently updated, the cabin maintains its rustic redwood charm, but has all of the modern conveniences and comforts you're looking for.
- Full kitchen with gas range, dishwasher, and "touch" control faucet, and breakfast bar
- Large living / dining room with table for 4, big windows for great views, and a queen sofa sleeper (with a good mattress!)
- Master bedroom loft with king bed (Casper mattress)
- Updated full bath (no tub) on main floor
- Large upper deck with amazing views
- Lower level bedroom (separate access) with cozy bed nooks (1 queen, 1 double), full-size washer/dryer, TV (w/ Apple TV), half bath, and private lower deck
- Outdoor shower, easy access to private beach, and other gear (canoe, 2 SUPs, adult life jackets, beach chairs)
Our private beach where you can enjoy soaking in the sun, paddling in our canoe or paddle boards, or taking a dip (there's a great swimming hole right in front of our place for a good summer cool-off!). Please note the river's current can be strong even in summer and there are no lifeguards.
We are eager to help guide your stay to ensure you have a fabulous time both at the cabin, and enjoying the area. If you have any issues during your stay, our property manager (Shelley) lives across the street (
Please note that the downstairs bedroom (with the 2 beds and TV) has a separate entrance, outside and down stairs, from the main level.
Other things to note:
While we certainly have added new appliances and features, this is still a cabin, thus there are a couple things to be aware of:
- Help us keep the septic system working well by only flushing TP
- Cell phone service can be spotty in the cabin (maybe a good thing ), but, if desperate, can be found if you walk down the road a house or two. Wifi however is very stable and accessible around the cabin!
- Windows are single-pane, which means poor sound insulation (for passing cars) and potential drafts if the weather is really cold (heater/cooling units in both levels though)
- We've kept the old animal mounts (moose, deer, duck) that came with the cabin and are part of its "hunting cabin" history. Please don't book if that will upset you.
Maximum overnight occupancy: 6 persons (not including children under 3 years of age)
Maximum cars: 2 (there is no nearby street parking)

My dad, brothers and I stayed for a long weekend. It was wonderful. We spent some time in Healdsburg one day with a bike ride, used the property's canoe and stand up paddle boards another day, and then did a wine tour the last. We each had our own bed, and the furnishings/kitchen/deck were great for the evening we grilled some steaks. What a short term rental should be!
We had our eyes on this place after some friends stayed there 2 years ago. It did not disappoint! Adorable cabin, plenty of space, fully stocked kitchen, boats galore and a perfect location. We will return again!
We had an amazing trip. The property was clean and quaint. The camp-like atmosphere of the cabin and the access to the river really made our stay memorable. One of our group left behind items and the manager was very helpful in sending it back. Thanks again! We will be back.
Our family had the best time staying at this cozy cabin - our boys did NOT want to leave the river. We fished (got one!), caught minnows, swam, paddled, floated, and had a picnic down the river bend. The cabin is stocked with all the accessories you will need on the river. The owner was very friendly, accommodating, and easy to communicate with. One tip - be sure to get yourself a delightful treat from Wicked Slush during your stay!
Great cabin right on the Russian River. Quiet peaceful yet close to everything. Owners very responsive. We will be back.
Lovely cabin just above the river where we saw egrets, otters, and a long list of other birds and animals. Everything was easily laid out for us. We only hope we left things as nicely as it was left for us.
This place was great.
Beautiful property with a lot of character. Perfect for multiple families. Myself, my wife and sons stayed in the upper cabin, while my sister and her daughters stayed in the lower part of the cabin. We all liked that we were close but had our own space/privacy as well. Cabin is toddler friendly, our 2 year old was not able to escape because there are multiple gates about waist high that he could not open, which was relieving for us. The outdoor shower was a great perk, kids used it to clean up before coming inside. And I’d like to commend the property owners for using high end brand shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. and not some cheap hotel soaps. And there was no need to rent canoes or kayaks because there are multiple on the property for occupant use. The propane grill was another highlight for me. The river was good for swimming and fishing, there are some pretty deep areas where you can jump off the rocks.
We loved this spot. Lots of wonderful things to do in the area and in the backyard if you want to just hang at home. Britta was a wonderful host!
LOVED this Healdsburg cozy cabin on the river. Hope to go back some day!
This cabin was awesome! It was clean, well furnished, and had all of the comforts of home. Plus, the location was stunning with views of the river. We'd love to come back for another visit!
We had to in the loft and two on the sofa bed with 2 others downstairs. Perfect for 3 adults, 2 teens and 1 preteen. Our hosts were very responsive to all emails and inquiries. River was great and kayak and paddle boarding was lots of fun. We would definitely stay again.
We had a wonderful weekend on the river. The host was so nice, very responsive and easy to communicate with! We loved the decor, comfy beds, the river view from the deck and the access to the river! It was also very easy to drive into Healdsburg for tastings and restaurants. We hope to be back soon!
The cabin is right on the river, with a great beach and all the gear to enjoy your time (SUPs, kayak, canoe, beach towels, beach chairs). The stretch of river down-river from the cabin is beautiful to explore. The cabin had everything we needed with comfortable beds and bedding, a well-stocked kitchen, and lots of games that were nice when the weather turned cold and rainy. Highly recommend!
