About this property
WINE COUNTRY RIVERFRONT RETREAT WITH SPA & VIEWS
THIS COTTAGE IS A TRUE RETREAT. Our cottage has very reasonable rates for a house on the river with scenic views and a large spa. It is truly a different experience to be on the river. The large deck and dinning room have wonder views of the river and lots of natural light. Built in 1930 and updated over the year, keeping all the charm of a rustic vintage river cottage. There are high ceilings, wood floors, knotty pine in the living room, a stone fireplace with insert, granite counters, large double sink, gas stove, dishwasher, disposal, enclosed sun porch and large deck with wonderful river views. It is an old fashion river cabin that is pet and family friendly. It is not a modern high end home or fancy Healdsburg hotel. Just a fun place to enjoy the views, spa and river. The river flows behind the house just a few steps away. Take the path to the river in the summer time and enjoy our private gazebo set up for our guest to use with sun shade, table and chairs. A perfect place to hang out, relax and swim. A large 4 person hot tub is located under mature redwood trees, very private. The house is near the end of a quiet street with very little traffic. There is a one car garage plus 1 or 2 parking places in the driveway.
We have all the comforts of home, central forced air heating, high speed internet, Netflix's, smart TV in living room, second TV in the back bedroom, Comcast cable TV. There are ceiling fans in the living room and dinning rom and portable fans in the bedrooms but there is no air conditioning.
We set up a Gazebo/Sun Shade (summer only) across the river right on the river bank with table and chairs, provides lot of shade, we also have tubes for a river float, ice chest, beach umbrella and beach chairs for our guest to use (summer only) to take full advantage of all the river has to offer.
The easy beach access makes it a fun place for children to enjoy the river. Take a float or swim down the river, enjoy the scenery, you may even see a few turtles and herons.
Besides the river there are many other activities for guest to enjoy, the Healdsburg Town Square is 3 miles away which offers shopping, fine dinning, theaters, bakeries, live concerts and a farmers market. Dry Creek, Alexander Valley and Russian River wine regions are just a short drive from the property with world class wineries and tasting rooms.
The Villa Chanticleer, a wonderful facility for Weddings is less than a mile away on North Fitch Mt. Road. They also have a big dog park. Badger park has a play area for children.
The house will accommodate up to 4 adults or a couple with 2 children. Works out well with 2 couples as the bedrooms are separate from each other, one in the front and the other in the back of the house, allows for nice privacy. If you are planning a wedding, family gathering or just have a larger group and need more room, the owners can refer you to additional rental properties near by.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Edrene Case

My sister's and I were born in Healdsburg and learned to swim in the Russian River. Even after we moved away we made many trips to this area with our friends and family to enjoy the river. We rented vacations homes along the Russian River from Guerneville to Healdsburg and this is our favorite spot. Our kids have fond memories of spending warm summer days on the beach behind this house looking for frogs, swimming, canoeing and rafting down the river. They named the beach 'Froggy Beach'. We always dreamed of owning our own place and now have this really fun rustic cottage on the river to enjoy and rent out to others. Our favorite activities are wine tasting, swimming, tubing, kayaking and canoeing down the river.
Why they chose this property
This property is located on a great spot on the Russian River. There is a nice beach just a few steps away. The street is quiet with no through traffic. There are many large redwood trees that line the river and keep it cool in the summer. We have a large private spa and in the summer a gazebo set up across the river for you to use. Visit world class wineries just a few miles away in Dry Creek and Alexander Valleys or visit the many different tasting room right in town. Enjoy all the other activities Healdsburg has to offer, fine dinning, cool shops, popular brewery, free summer concerts in the square and weekly Farmer's Market. So much to do, be sure to stay at least 3 nights.
What makes this property unique
The views of the river and countryside from the back deck are fantastic. You can enjoy the large hot tub located in a secluded area under a grove of mature Redwood trees. The house has the charm of a vintage 1920's cabin but with all the comforts of home. Fine dinning and great wine tasting are located just a short drive away. Canoe and Kayak trips are available in town or go for a float off the beach behind the house. During the summer months we have inner tubes, a double kayak, noodles, ice chest, lounges, chairs and a beach umbrella you can take to the beach.
