Thank you for the kind words Greta! Hope you made some fun memories! And can’t wait to have you back again soon.
First Crush Cottage is a lovely property, excellent layout, fully equipped kitchen, great location for exploring Healdsburg and all of the area’s wineries.The outdoor areas are inviting, comfortable with an excellent grill, fire pits and dining area.A great 2 week stay!!
Kimberly was a fantastic host! The communication with her was excellent. The property was just as described and was very clean and comfortable. There were 4 of us (2 couples) and the house provided us exactly what we were looking for. The location was perfect! It was quiet and has a beautiful view from the backyard. The neighbors next door were even great! They left us farm fresh eggs with a nice note when we arrived.Kimberly also left top notch suggestions of restaurants and wineries to visit and she was spot on with everything. We have already decided that our next trip back, we are going to try to rent this property again! If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would!
We loved our stay at First Crush Cottage! The property is absolutely stunning and meticulously maintained, with gorgeous valley views, a lush vegetable garden, and its own vineyard.Our host, Kimberly, was a fantastic communicator and made the whole process seamless.The location couldn't be better—only a 5-minute drive into downtown Healdsburg, surrounded by amazing wineries (with some within walking distance), and just a short walk to the Dry Creek General Store for great on-the-go breakfasts and sandwiches. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed for a perfect stay. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be back soon!

It was such a pleasure to host you and your beautiful family. We can’t wait to have you back.
We had a great stay at Kimberly’s place. She was incredibly communicative and did everything she could to make sure we were comfortable and knew what was available to us in the surrounding area. The tasting at Lambert Bridge is a must do! The house was perfect for 2 couples and very clean and cozy. I would highly recommend staying here, and would welcome the opportunity to visit again!

So glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the lovely review! Until next time....
We have stayed in numerous VRBO's, this property was by far the best! It felt like a home away from home. Communication with the host was excellent. All of the little details the owner thought of were there.From arriving finding farm fresh eggs left by the neighbor; a wine tasting at Lambert Winery included in your visit; a bottle of wine; fresh tomato’s, herbs, wood for the fire pit in front of the home, and anything you would need to make gourmet meals. We enjoyed mornings and evenings by the fire pit behind the house enjoying the beautiful views. The layout of the home has the two bedroom on opposite sides, making it perfect for two couples. The location made it perfect for short drives in The Dry Creek valley and Healdsburg, and short day trip to Bodega Bay, San Francisco, Sonoma and Napa valleys. We will definitely stay at this property again.

It was a pleasure to host you and your friends David! Glad you were able to make some special memories and enjoyed Healdsburg to its fullest!
Hope to have you back again soon!
This was our third stay at the First Crush Cottage and we hope to go back again next year. The House and property are perfect. Very up-to-date and clean. House has everything needed for a fabulous stay. The yard is super nice with a pretty patio and sitting area with beautiful views. The little garden is an added bonus! The location is great with many local wineries and fabulous restaurants in downtown Healdsburg!

See you next year!

Wonderful property that is quite relaxing. If you enjoy a cup of coffee in the garden within a stones throw of the neighbors vines and beautiful scenery - it’s a must book. Lovely interior and well decorated. Also the separate AC in every room is quite convienent and efficient. We were never hot and everyone could keep their rooms at whatever temp they liked.
Great location in the wine country. The home is well appointed for cooking in and enjoying the beautiful scenery behind the home. While outside you can hear the road noise but it’s minimal and still a lovely home.

Hi Rita! Glad you were able to get away and relax! We look forward to your next stay!
First Crush is a very clean and cute home in a great spot in Healdsberg - we had a wonderful time. The place was clean and had a lovely yard and deck - great for a family or two couples!
My family and I stayed here for a wedding. The house was very comfortable and the location couldn’t have been more perfect. We had such a nice time we are talking about making it an annual tradition!
