Great cottage

Great location. Clean.. Great communication with property manager. The problem is that the second bedroom is really the attic, and even with window AC was 10 degrees hotter than first floor. Also colder at n ight so in warmer months this could potentially be a problem.

Healdsburg Carma Cottage

We had a perfect experience. The house is very clean and functional and the location simply cannot be beat. The local management company was very responsive and helpful. We stayed for 2 weeks and really got a feel for living in town given the proximity to restaurants, coffee shops, highways, wineries etc. I would highly recommend this house and we will absolutely be back if they will have us.

Great March weekend getaway

We had booked this house because we had a college alumni event at a winery nearby. Sadly, the event got canceled at the last minute, but we kept our weekend away and had a fantastic time, enjoying great hikes and meals.This house is perfectly located so you can walk to everything that’s in central Healdsburg.The care and attention to detail put into the decoration of this historic home did not go unnoticed by us. We would come back again!

Property was impeccably maintained and we loved the location...close to the town center, within walking distance of some cool neighborhoods, and easy to get to. The kitchen was stocked enough for us to cook and the beds were comfortable.

Great House, Great Location

My husband and I had a wonderful week at the Carma Cottage. The location just off Healdsburg Square makes it so easy to dine, shop, and visit wineries — no car needed! The house itself is very comfortable and there is an ample kitchen and dining area for nights you would rather stay in and cook. Would recommend with enthusiasm!

Fabulous cottage in downtown Healdsburg

What a perfect spot from which to explore Healdsburg! The location couldn't be better for walking to everything downtown, and also to the Seghesio winery. The home is beautiful, well decorated, and stocked with everything you need in the kitchen. Good attention to detail. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
