About this property

Idyllic 3-bedroom 2-bath Hummingway Ranch is the perfect spot for a getaway with family and friends. Located at the top of a hill with 270 degree views of the Russian River valley, this garden-filled 5-acre property is equipped with a fully stocked gourmet kitchen. Its ideal for working remotely or a retreat in wine country. All 3 bedrooms enjoy king size beds, perfect for couples or sharing space with friends and family.

Enjoy coffee next to the Koi pond while watching the sunrise over Fitch Mountain and hot air balloons taking off from the east. Cook a gourmet meal (or order in!) and dine on the expansive deck while gazing at vineyards on Westside road or the sunset over the hills. Drink wine while wandering the decorative gardens and pick fresh citrus or herbs for brunch or cocktails. Entertain the kids (and yourself!) with ping pong, corn hole, a fully-stocked game closet, and hundreds of books in the Share-Library. And, if you must work, utilize the hi-speed wifi and take your pick of one of three desks that are intentionally placed to maximize the views and natural light while you take meetings on Zoom or catch up on email.

Mid-century modern decor is a subtle compliment to the full wall of windows in the Great Room looking towards local vineyards. The Great Room has its own wet bar perfect for coffee, wine, and cocktails in addition to a table for 6. The fully stocked kitchen overlooks 4 acres of the property’s fields and sunset towards the West, with an extra wide dining table that comfortably seats up to 8.

Conveniently located 2 minutes from the Michelin Star Farmhouse Inn, 5 minutes to dozens of vineyards, 10 minutes from Sebastopol, 15 minutes from Santa Rosa airport, 15 minutes from Healdsburg, and 20 minutes to Bodega Bay, this property feels remote while having the best of West County at your fingertips.

There is a separate cottage on the property currently occupied by a groundskeeping couple. The driveway and the gardens are common spaces, but once you set foot inside the house or onto your exclusive decks you will be in your own private oasis.

Perfection!

We loved our stay! Hosts were quick and thorough. The house was easily the most thoughtfully-appointed rental I’ve ever stayed in, they didn’t miss a thing! I want to live there full time! Near great wineries and restaurants, but the view from the huge deck is enough in its own. Stay here, you won’t regret it.

I wish I could give The Hummingway Ranch a 10!

Elizabeth and Gayle were easy to communicate with and very quick to respond. The home and views were absolutely fabulous! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate my brother's 80th birthday. We are a family that prefers to eat in so the well-stocked kitchen was a real bonus and made meal prep a breeze. The kitchen is spacious and includes a large dining room table where everyone was comfortably seated for meals and games. The location was also wonderful. We took the train from Santa Rosa airport (a 15 minute drive) & ferry to San Francisco on our first day and took advantage of our one sunny day with a trip to Jenner for hot beverages and a walk on the beach. We are also an environmentally conscious family and we very much appreciated the non-toxic products throughout the home. I would highly encourage anyone considering The Hummingway Ranch to just book it! You won't be disappointed. There really are too many well thought out amenities to mention. It's obvious that great care was taken in planning for the guests' maximum enjoyment. Thank you Elizabeth and Gayle!

About the host

Your host

I am passionate about hospitality and travel! My family is originally from Santa Rosa and Healdsburg, so this part of California is "home" even though I reside on the East Coast most of the year. My east coast home is also a part rental, and I've been rated as a superhost for over 10 years. Since I don't live in Cali full time, I have a fabulous partner who lives locally to ensure top notch hospitality for my guests.

Why they chose this property

This is my personal vacation home when it's not being rented, which means that I've appointed it fully and with meaningful touches that make it truly feel like home - from the books to a fully stocked kitchen, I want guests to feel like they can truly live here and make themselves at home.
