About this property

Hidden Pocket - 1.6 Acres of Resort-like Living Minutes from Healdsburg Plaza

Is it possible to at once be away from it all and at the center of it all? It is if you spend your wine country vacation at our home, located in a “Hidden Pocket” at the end of a country lane less than 3 miles from Healdsburg Plaza.

Our home is within minutes of the best that Healdsburg has to offer: restaurants, tasting rooms, shops and galleries. It is also practically at the very center of the extraordinary Northern Sonoma wine country, just minutes from the Russian River, Dry Creek, and Alexander Valleys. In fact, there are over 150 tasting rooms within a 10 mile radius - making this an outstanding home base for your Sonoma Wine Country vacation. The house is also only about 40 minutes from outstanding wineries at the northern end of the Napa Valley for those seeking even more variety.

The property offers a variety of features and activities to enhance your wine country vacation when you're not out wine tasting or enjoying the other pleasures of Northern Sonoma County.

At our home, you can relax by our solar-heated pool (heated late April/early May to mid October depending on the weather) or our stainless steel spa built into our ipe deck. Or enjoy your morning coffee under our covered gazebo next to our vegetable garden and near our fruit and olive tree orchard. The property is richly landscaped, with lush front, rear, and side gardens and a manicured front lawn. We also have a 230-vine hobby Cabernet and Cabernet Franc vineyard at the very front of the property.

There is a basketball hoop above the garage where you can practice your jump shot, or brush up on your ping pong skills on our indoor/outdoor table.

Indoors, the home is equipped with central air conditioning, central heating, and wifi Internet access. Our fully-equipped kitchen is stocked with practically everything you could possibly need to prepare a gourmet meal. The kitchen has a stainless steel appliances, Caesarstone Quartz countertops, as well as the full array of kitchen essentials.

For wine lovers there is lead-free crystal glassware and a dishwasher safe decanter. We also have a full array of unbreakable dishes and wine glasses suitable for outdoor use. The pantry is stocked with spices and other cooking staples to make preparing your meals at the house an easy and pleasant experience.

In an open floor plan, the kitchen opens to the dining room which seats 8 and to the den. The den has a comfortable modern sectional, a 43” Sony 4K LED television and a Sonos sound bar for streaming your favorite music.

Or you can sit back and watch a movie on our home-theater equipped living room, with its 7.1 surround sound, 75 inch Sony 4K LED television, 4K Blu-Ray player, and Sonos component. We also have a broad variety of Blu-ray movies and board games suitable for the whole family.

We also have Dish Network Satellite TV service.

The master suite has a king sized bed and a private bath with a double vanity, whirlpool tub and separate shower, and a Sonos speaker. The other 2 bedrooms each have queen sized beds, and all the bedrooms are equipped with custom Elfa closet storage. In the hallway, you’ll find the second bath, which has a shower/tub combination and dual vanity. An additional ½ bath is accessible through the laundry room next to kitchen. The laundry room is equipped with a front-loading LG washer and dryer.

There are security cameras at the perimeter of the property and by the front door and garage door.

Enjoy the best of both worlds - the privacy and tranquility of the country just minutes from Healdsburg Plaza.

Exceptionally well-appointed, private getaway
This property is really well appointed, especially for families. There's a perfect grassy pitch for frisbee or catch, tons of sports equipment provided, and of course the pool and hot tub. I loved going for runs on the country roads where neighbors in pickups and Teslas all wave. The sound system and Sonos were exceptional compared to other properties and I loved that there were a variety of phone power cables and clocks at every bedside. The kitchen had the right amount of helpful supplies like olive oil, ketchup, and spices. The gardens and hillside were gorgeous and we could hear the frogs at night. The only downside was one of the country roads being gravel and kicking up dust - and watch out for some intense speed bumps! It's still just a 10-minute drive to downtown Healdsburg but is truly private. This property has all the amenities and is thoughtfully managed - highly recommend!

Perfect Location to Experience Peace
We booked this trip with friends a year out, and we got lucky with finding such a gem of a location. The property is nestled in a little, private valley surrounded by cattle farms, horses, and tall trees that host a lot of birds. You can stay here and not see another human the entire time. Or you can head into Healdsburg or Windsor for shopping, dinner or fun activities very quickly. It's nestled in the perfect spot for enjoying multiple valleys with distinct wineries. The house itself is awesome. The rooms were well-sized and there were enough bathrooms to not have any conflicts. The kitchen has just about everything you need (drip coffee, not espresso though. But there is a frother.) We spent most of our time in the kitchen/dining area and outside adjacent patio enjoying the pool & hot tub. The landscaping is just breathtaking. There are so many birds and hummingbirds zooming around. You can watch raptors circling nearby. And the resident cat, Cocoa will greet you almost immediately upon arrival. It was so relaxing laying outside under an umbrella just watching the birds & enjoying the serenity of nature. This house is perfect for a family getaway or a friend getaway. I highly recommend it and we're looking forward to returning again!

Great stay
Enjoyed the property, lovely pool and great landscaping, brand-new kitchen and patio area. Slightly dated second bathroom, but overall a very large, impressive, and well maintained quiet property just a few miles from the center of Healdsburg.

One of the best houses we have ever rented!
One of the best houses we have ever rented! When it comes to creating a great guest experience, Ed the owner has thought of everything. The kitchen was equipped with all the necessary pots, pans, and small appliances to prepare gourmet meals. There is sufficient dinnerware and silverware to go around, as well as excellent wine glasses. Usually when we travel we have to bring many kitchen items because rental houses lack many essentials, but this house also had some great spices in the kitchen and fresh herbs in the garden just outside. We were delighted that there was a charging station at the doorway for our guests to recharge their mobile devices. Outside speakers were provided by the pool/hot tub so that we could listen to music while enjoying the beautiful, well-maintained grounds. It was also very helpful to have the instructions that are left in the house, as they provide all the information necessary to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. We look forward to returning and seeing Cocoa, the friendliest cat, greet us again
