THIS COTTAGE IS A TRUE RETREAT. Our cottage has very reasonable rates for a house on the river with scenic views and a large spa. It is truly a different experience to be on the river. The large deck and dinning room have wonder views of the river and lots of natural light. Built in 1930 and updated over the year, keeping all the charm of a rustic vintage river cottage. There are high ceilings, wood floors, knotty pine in the living room, a stone fireplace with insert, granite counters, largedouble sink, gas stove, dishwasher, disposal, enclosed sun porch and large deck with wonderful river views. It is an old fashion river cabin that is pet and family friendly. It is not a modern high end home or fancy Healdsburg hotel. Just a fun place to enjoy the views, spa and river. The river flows behind the house just a few steps away. Take the path to the river in the summer time and enjoy our private gazebo set up for our guest to use with sun shade, table and chairs. A perfect place to hang out, relax and swim. A large 4 person hot tub is located under mature redwood trees, very private. The house is near the end of a quiet street with very little traffic. There is a one car garage plus 1 or 2 parking places in the driveway.

We have all the comforts of home, central forced air heating, high speed internet, Netflix's, smart TV in living room, second TV in the back bedroom, Comcast cable TV. There are ceiling fans in the living room and dinning rom and portable fans in the bedrooms but there is no air conditioning.

We set up a Gazebo/Sun Shade (summer only) across the river right on the river bank with table and chairs, provides lot of shade, we also have tubes for a river float, ice chest, beach umbrella and beach chairs for our guest to use (summer only) to take full advantage of all the river has to offer.

The easy beach access makes it a fun place for children to enjoy the river. Take a float or swim down the river, enjoy the scenery, you may even see a few turtles and herons.

Besides the river there are many other activities for guest to enjoy, the Healdsburg Town Square is 3 miles away which offers shopping, fine dinning, theaters, bakeries, live concerts and a farmers market. Dry Creek, Alexander Valley and Russian River wine regions are just a short drive from the property with world class wineries and tasting rooms.

The Villa Chanticleer, a wonderful facility for Weddings is less than a mile away on North Fitch Mt. Road. They also have a big dog park. Badger park has a play area for children.

The house will accommodate up to 4 adults or a couple with 2 children. Works out well with 2 couples as the bedrooms are separate from each other, one in the front and the other in the back of the house, allows for nice privacy. If you are planning a wedding, family gathering or just have a larger group and need more room, the owners can refer you to additional rental properties near by.

    The property indeed was a cabin in the redwoods next to the Russian River. The rooms were comfortable and we enjoyed being close to Healdsburg. My only problem with the stay was that the street was extremely dark at night and I found it uncomfortable walking the dogs in the dark.

    Sweet comfy little cabin on the Russian River with all we needed for a relaxing peaceful stay. Although classic from the 1940's it is renovated with a new kitchen, PERFECT artwork for each room to reflect the mood. The dining area overlooking the river in the rear is AWESOME ! and if you take the time to sit up front and water the garden you can meet some of the permanent residents (like the tax man next door) who are delightful !Thanks Edrene, your instructions were spot on.

    Everything about the home was perfect! We only wish we could have stayed longer. The house has everything you need - while we did not cook any meals there, I poked around to see what they have for next time. It seems to be fully outfitted. We had two cars, so having the garage as an option for one of the cars was great, since you're not supposed to park in the street. The washer and dryer in the unit were great. It allowed us to get a few things washed before heading to our next destination. There is an abundance of movies! We never turned on the TVs because we were so wiped out from all the activities that we did during the day. But the collection looked amazing, and everyone should be able to find something to watch. We loved the 80 year old cross stitch hanging in the living room. The hot tub was amazing! The lift system for the cover made it so easy to use the tub. We appreciated how private the area was. It didn't feel like we had neighbors peering at what was going on, allowing us to just relax and enjoy the space. The Buddha in the tree is very fun, especially in the evening with the light turned on. We used the hot tub several times during our stay. And the outdoor shower in the hot tub area was an added bonus!

    Really nice. The house is at the end of a short but winding /narrow road, be very cautious. Very cute place. Delightful hot tub. Plenty hot. Sweetly decorated. Gorgeous deck overlooking the river. Clean, In good order, comfortable, and my doggie got to join which reduced stress a ton. We could hear the river and wanted to dip in but it was too high. Would stay again in a heartbeat. The redwoods were majestic.

    We had a fabulous time at this California cottage by the Russian River. Towering redwoods surround it and the house is both charming and functional. Hope to return!

    A spotless cozy cabin under redwoods overlooking the rushing Russian River. We would give it 5 stars, but the mattresses were so soft, we both woke up with backaches.

    We loved this little getaway. Very relaxed and quiet. The view of the river is great. Amenities also very good. Hot tub was a nice plus. We only used one bedroom but both are decent and the bed we slept in was quite comfortable, and we slept deeply. While we were here during the rainy season (which makes the river fun to watch) we think it must be an even more amazing getaway during the warmer and drier seasons.

    We loved our short stay on the Russian River. The cottage was comfortable and we enjoyed sitting on the deck and looking over the river. The hot tub was a plus as it helped ease the muscle aches from our travel. The owner was in contact quickly when we had some questions. We had everything we needed and wished we could have stayed longer. We would definitely stay here again if we were ever in the area.

    Between the inner tubes and floating lazily on the river, watching the stars at night from the deck, or the lovely feeling from wine tasting during the day, this was a marvellous weekend. The kitchen was great to prepare meals, and the location near the river was fabulous.

    The house is very clean and comfortable and located just where we wanted. The beach trail is not super easy to navigate for older folks but we got used to it over time. Neighbors were very friendly.

    Two couples went for extended weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The quiet cabin on the banks of the Russian River was so relaxing. We enjoyed the hot tub surrounded by beautiful trees, the river views, time on the river shore and a quick float down the river in tubes. We also loved being so close to wine country and Healdsburg town for outings. Hope to return sometime.

    Cozy, rustic place along a tree-lined bend in the Russian River. Our stay in mid-May with the dogs was great. With easy access, The dogs were able to play in the river. And the canary provides just enough shade. The house is as advertised. Would recommend.
