The lodge boasts a cozy fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, captivating river views, an expansive deck, a rejuvenating 4-5 person spa, private riverfront access, 2 kayaks with a boat dock, and a convenient gas BBQ grill. Imagine basking in the serene stillness on the deck, surrounded by breathtaking vistas.

Please note that Sonoma County regulations include quiet hours from 9PM to 7 AM, with no amplified sound allowed. Parties and events are not permitted, and the maximum number of cars is limited to three. For added security, the kayaks are stored below the deck to prevent theft or drifting, so guests should be prepared to transport them to and from the water.

Here, guests can indulge in a wide array of activities suitable for all ages and interests, from wine tasting and hiking to biking, golfing, swimming, kayaking, and the ultimate relaxation in the hot tub. The deck also offers a front-row seat to observe the local wildlife.

In Healdsburg town, guests can explore the historic Healdsburg Plaza, featuring shaded benches, a gazebo with weekly summer concerts, fresh produce on farmers market days, and scenic walking paths. The area is replete with charming boutique shops, renowned restaurants helmed by acclaimed chefs, antique shopping havens, art galleries, theaters, bicycle rental shops, and inviting wine-tasting rooms offering delightful wine and food pairings. Beyond the city, the surrounding landscape is adorned with world-class vineyards, wineries, and awe-inspiring vistas. Venture further afield to discover scenic country roads leading to ancient redwood forests, Pacific Coast beaches, and natural hot springs.

Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
Blatant misrepresentation online
We stayed in this home for three nights this past week. The listing shows and describes a vastly different property than what we discovered upon arrival. The only accurate part of the listing is that of the kitchen. The rest of the home was clean, but definitely not "updated" or "elegant". It's located in a random neighborhood on a densely populated narrow street of unkept homes on the river, and was quite noisy at times. The sunken hot tub featured on the listing photo doesn't exist. The property is overgrown with trees and bamboo, and we could barely even see the river from the deck. The hot tub looked clean but the chlorine smell was too overpowering. The entire outdoor space was covered in dead leaves, the BBQ was filthy, outdoor cushions were moldy, and the descent down to the river was covered in brush and leaves. It was steep, slippery and treacherous with no handrail to hold on to. The "boat dock" is just floating plywood with no way to secure a kayak or human trying to get in or out of the water. Two kayaks were under the deck stored amongst other junk. The "cozy fireplace" was non-functioning with a decorative fake log centerpiece inside. Two of the bedroom fan chains were broken and stuck on high all the time. It's now obvious as to why there are no street view pictures or current river view pictures of the property in the listing. We will never book with this management company again. We grossly overpaid and they under-delivered.

Lovely riverfront home
We enjoyed the comfortable home with a lovely outlook over the river. The neighborhood is quiet and our time on the river, sitting on the deck and in the hot tub was peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely return.

Great spot on the river
The property was clean and well kept, and proved to be just as described. The owner was exceptionally responsive. I'd certainly rent this place again.
