About this property

Heron House | A Wine Country Escape

Retreat to the exquisite Heron House, a riverside haven where the grandeur of the Redwoods meets the flowing beauty of the Russian River. This special riverfront dwelling offers direct access to a private beach and is located just minutes from downtown Healdsburg. Tucked away on North Fitch Mountain's wooded knoll, the home provides a secluded feel above the river.

The Heron House is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home designed to accommodate up to 8 guests comfortably. The living room boasts a new Tempur-Pedic® sleeper sofa and features hardwood oak flooring, offering a cozy space with a wall-mounted flat-screen TV, cable, and WiFi. The kitchen and dining area, illuminated by a skylight and large windows, are fully equipped for your cooking pleasure and offer a slider opening to the patio with a stainless steel BBQ and river deck.

Step outside to revel in the natural surroundings. Delight in the saltwater Sundance Hydrotherapy spa on the redwood deck, surrounded by mature trees and overlooking the river. A private rock stairway leads down to your secluded beachfront for serene relaxation.

The property offers indoor laundry facilities, ample parking within a redwood-fenced area, and a shaded sitting or play space. Experience the peacefulness and privacy of this wooded setting, just a short distance from Healdsburg's lively plaza. Though the road might be slightly bumpy post-rains, the tranquil ambiance and exceptional river access make it worthwhile.

Discover an unforgettable riverside retreat at the Heron House, offering an idyllic fusion of natural beauty, comfort, and easy access to the region's acclaimed culinary and wine scene for your Healdsburg getaway.
