Russian Riverside Cottage in Healdsburg

The property was peaceful. With the river in the background and a great louging area on the porch. It was perfect.

Our family enjoyed this lovely tucked-away cottage near the river. The space was cozy but spacious enough for our adult family, the porch was lovely to sit in the morning or at night to view the stars, and the beds were comfortable. There was a clear and easy trail to the river. The river, Russian River, was a bit buggy and mossy to swim in but still enjoyable to sit next to. If we had a kayak or floatation device we may have gotten in and floated down river. There is a beach very nearby if you want to take a short walk. We were just 10 minutes away from downtown Healdsburg and not much farther from the local wineries like Dry Creek Vineyard. Our host, Caren, was easy to message and she even called to make sure we arrived safely to the cottage. She was a generous host allowing us to use anything in the kitchen and fridge. We didn't end up cooking but if we had, it would have been a good place to do it. The bathroom is small but more than usable. Shower had good water pressure and we had all the towels we needed. We would stay here again in the future.

We had a wonderful stay.

I hesitated to write this review because owner was so nice, accomodating, and responsive to my concerns, and I don't write a negative reviews. However, my family thought I should just to help other renters. I felt it was extremely expensive for what we got, but maybe that's the area; have paid less in area's hotels. Badly in need of remodel and updating (especially kitchen, bathroom, etc.), unit not clean when checked in (smelled stale, hair and bugs on sheets) and deck not inviting as shown. Beautiful setting -- fall colors starting, beachfront to Russian river

We really enjoyed our stay. The communication with owner was great and we will come back again. The beach is just right there and our young adult grandchildren love it.

We stayed at the Riverside Cottage for 3 weeks and it was so peaceful, relaxing and homey. It was just me and my husband and we enjoyed every minute. The place is only 7 minutes from downtown Healdsburg, but far enough away to feel like you are tucked away in the woods. It was perfect for the two of us.

We enjoyed Our stay at this cute house near the river. Anything we could’ve needed was there, beds were comfortable. Fireplace worked well when we were a little chilly. I only took one star Off of location because the road is pretty windy and narrow for a mile or 2, but it was still convenient to get to town quickly

Unfortunately my wife and I were unable to stay but our friends that were traveling with us enjoyed their stay. Thank you.

Enjoyed our stay. Always wanted to rent a place by the river. Perfect spot as we had our own private beach. Rented a kayak, stopped and had lunch at the cabin beach and rowed our way back, so convenient. Only a few minutes away to several hiking areas and downtown. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

I stayed there with my family, including my 19-month old son and we had the best time. The river is so calming and the outdoor patio was a huge hit. It's also just a quick 10-min drive from downtown.
