Wine Country Getaway with Panoramic Views-5 min from downtown Healdsburg

Welcome to Bliss House – Your Healdsburg Wine Country Escape
Perched high above the stunning Dry Creek Valley, Bliss House is a peaceful, beautifully remodeled retreat just 1.5 miles from downtown Healdsburg. Surrounded by 80 acres of vineyards, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers panoramic 180° views, a gourmet kitchen, and a 100-foot deck perfect for sipping wine while watching the sunset.


Recently Remodeled for Comfort & Style In 2021, we gave Bliss House a full makeover:
– Gourmet kitchen with island seating and modern appliances
– Spacious dining and family rooms with open-concept flow
– All bathrooms upgraded with new vanities and walk-in showers
– Widened sliding doors in the kitchen, dining, family room, and master bath to maximize the breathtaking views


Dine In, Grill Out, or Grab & Go
– Cook like a chef in the fully stocked kitchen with a 4-burner gas range, Keurig & drip coffee makers, and all the cookware you need
– Prefer to grill? Fire up the BBQ on the deck while enjoying the view
– Not in the mood to cook? Downtown Healdsburg is just 1.5 miles away—perfect for takeout or a quick bite


Unmatched Views & Outdoor Living
The 100-foot deck is the heart of the home:
– Dine al fresco at the outdoor table for 6
– Watch hot air balloons rise in the morning or steam plumes from The Geysers in the distance
– Spot birds with binoculars or simply relax with a book and a glass of wine


Comfortable Bedrooms
– Master Suite: King bed, deck access, and ensuite bath with soaker tub and views
– Bedroom 2 & 3: Queen beds, located on the quiet back side of the house
Easy Access & Parking
– Located up a well-maintained, gated ¼-mile paved drive
– Plenty of parking for up to 4 cars


What to Expect from the Weather
– April–August: Warm, breezy afternoons and cool mornings/evenings
– September–October: Warm and dry with fewer foggy mornings
– Winter: Rain brings lush beauty, but expect sunny breaks too
– Tip: Bring layers—temperatures can swing 30–40°F in a day

What Guests Are Saying
– “Peaceful, private, and the views are unforgettable.”
– “We enjoyed sitting on the deck each morning and evening—so much so that we canceled our dinner plans the last night just to stay in. Book this place if you can!”
– “The kitchen had all the needed equipment for gourmet meal prep, which we did nightly, to take advantage of the wonderful atmosphere of the house.”
– “The owners provide everything you need for a great stay and have a pretty well-stocked kitchen—lots of cooking supplies, dishes, etc.”
– “As a first-time VRBO user, I was nervous about our accommodations; that is, until we walked in—absolutely stunning views, spacious and immaculate home with views from every side and window.”

Other Notes
– WiFi: ~12 Mbps—great for Zoom, but not ideal for multiple simultaneous streamers
– Security: Outdoor cameras only, for safety and maintenance (e.g., water leak alerts)

Stunning!!

Absolutely stunning stay! This Healdsburg Airbnb was everything we hoped for and more. The house was spacious, spotless, and perfectly situated right in the heart of a vineyard — like a private retreat surrounded by endless rows of vines. It felt like we were worlds away from everything, with nothing but peace, quiet, and wine country views. The moment we arrived, all the stress just melted away. A truly magical and serene escape — we can’t wait to come back!

This was the perfect home for our family of four in town for a wedding. We were very close to the square where all the festivities took place. It is a short drive and we were able to get Uber when needed! The house was beautiful with stunning views. We enjoyed cooking dinner one night and dining on the patio. House was clean, updated, with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. Owner was very responsive! I highly recommend this rental!

Blissful Vineyard Stay

Everything about our stay was absolutely perfect. The home is beautifully positioned within surrounding vineyards with breathtaking views. We quite enjoyed sitting on the porch every morning for sunrise with our coffee and then later in the evening for a glass of wine.Beyond the views, the property is perfectly laid out with comfortable furnishings and all the necessary amenities for a great stay. Additionally, the home is conveniently located only a few miles from the square, so made logistics quite simple during our stay.We loved our stay here and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the Healdsburg area.

The Bliss House is the perfect home and location in Sonoma. Beautiful views from the outdoor space and fully renovated 3 BR with 2.5 bath room is definitely the best of the vacation homes we have rented in Sonoma over the past few years. Owner/Operator (Peter) was fantastic to work with. We are already looking at dates for our next booking at the Bliss House.

We had an amazing stay at this house! The location was ideal—close to everything in town, making it so convenient to explore. The house itself was spotless, beautifully maintained and stocked with everything you could possibly need. It felt like a true home away from home. The property manager was incredibly responsive and thorough, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free.

Wonderful Stay!

The house itself is only a few minutes from downtown Healdsburg, but seems far away because it's located in the middle of vineyards, is very private, and very quiet. The view out the back overlooks the vineyards and throughout the valley. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped with all that we needed, and was very clean upon our arrival. Peter communicated everything that we needed to know and was a great host!

Stellar

The location is great. It’s minutes from Healdsburg and a staggering amount of wineries. Less than an hour from the coast. It’s situated in the middle of a gorgeous vineyard. The view from the deck is absolutely stunning. The pictures simply do not do it justice. The house looks/feels brand new. It very, very well equipped and furnished, and was spotless. Just outstanding.

We loved every bit of our time in lovely healdsburg! This property was PERFECT too. Comfortable beds , lots of lounge space and an open concept kitchen and dining room with views of the nearby vineyards :) Location was also amazing, five minutes from healdsburg plaza, 30 minutes from Armstrong redwood forest and quirky Guerneville, and an hour from Jenner and the beautiful Sonoma coast. Peter our host was helpful and responsive when needed. We couldnt have asked for a better place to spend family time! :)

Healdsburg

Great view over Healdsburg. Very open layout which is very nice. Sit on the 60’ deck with coffee in the morning to watch the sun rise over the mountains or in the evening with a glass of wine to watch the wild turkey and other birds. There is not much walking without a drive into town since it is gated and private property around the house. Although you can walk up and down the 200 yard driveway (steep climb back up for those who have a difficult time walking). We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect family escape in wine country

This property delivery just as promised and all expectations from everyone in our family were exceeded. The space was a beautiful and peaceful place to land after spending a bit of the day out experiencing wine country. It has everything anyone ever needs. Great restaurants & wineries are close by plus the grocery store is right near by as well. The views overlooking the the vineyards nearby are spectacular and the home matches the setting. Everything was perfect! Additionally, our hosts were very helpful and responsive. We will stay here again one day!!! Thank you so much!

Wonderful experience!

We definitely will be returning to Bliss House. The house was well appointed with everything we needed including the kitchen. The house was immaculate and not dusty. But for us the most important aspect of a rental is the view which was fantastic-vineyards and mountains! The porch was very comfortable. In the past at other VRBO's, we have had to sacrifice convenience for the lovely views but Bliss House was convenient to stores and vineyards and natural attractions. We had never been to Healdsburg before and the next time we go up to Sonoma we will be staying in Healdsburg-wonderful Michelin restaurants and shops.. I wouldn't change a thing.

Perfect Vacation Home

This is a rare gem. The Bliss House is even more beautiful than the photos on VRBO. We appreciated the stellar views from the large deck and from the living room and dining areas. The location is wonderfully quiet and peaceful, in the middle of a vineyard. It is a very short distance from the town of Healdsburg, and it is extremely well stocked with kitchen materials and spices, for those who like to cook and have wine in situ. The beds are very comfortable, there is plenty of closet space with hangers, and ample room for toiletries in the bathrooms. The air conditioning works like a dream, even when it's sweltering outside. I particularly appreciate that the bed linens and towels are washed using unscented detergent. This house is immaculate and has neither mold nor fragrances. Everything was perfect and we hope to return soon.

About the host

Hosted by Peter Carroll

Host profile image
Peter is the 3rd generation to work this property. Irv originally bought the land below and behind the house in the 1930's. Peter's mother, Andie grew up in the house down the hill from the current house. Irv was a farmer in the area where he grew crops and raised cattle and sheep. Andie was a longtime school teacher in the bay area.

Currently, Peter is managing the rental property and wishes he had more time to spend there!

Why they chose this property

The property was inherited from my Andie's father and was part of the property where Andie was raised and grew up. The view is amazing, the people are nice and the town is small and has a certain charm. Its location is perfect as you get to live in the country, but only be 5 minutes from downtown Healdsburg.

What makes this property unique

Incredible views of the valley from the deck. Quiet location a very short drive to downtown.
