We had such a wonderful stay here. The property is peaceful, beautiful, and felt like the perfect wine country getaway. We especially loved the serene river setting, relaxing pool area, and how convenient the location was to Healdsburg Square while still feeling private and tucked away. The host’s thoughtful touches really stood out — the fresh eggs and wildflower bouquet were such a sweet surprise and made the stay feel extra special (especially as fellow chicken farmers!). The home was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing trip. We would absolutely stay here again.

This is my favorite place we've stayed on the river! It was a very short walk to our own private beach where we collected stones and splashed in the water, and the pool was absolutely beautiful and solar heated. We had relaxing evenings on the lounge chairs on the deck watching the river and wildlife, we even saw a bobcat! The house was beautifully decorated and the living room had very cozy chairs. Carina was a wonderful host, very communicative, and even left us fresh eggs from the hens. Overall wonderful!

We had a delightful stay! The cabin is rustic and cozy, and the views of the river and wildlife were stunning! Carina was a fabulous host and ensured we had everything we needed. We were a quick drive to the square in Healdsburg, but the setting itself made it feel like we were miles away. This place is a hidden gem and we will definitely stay again.

Amazing location and host

The house and host are both amazing. The river views are exceptional and the outdoor space was great for lounging and watching the local wildlife. Carina provided everything we needed to kayak and paddle board on the river, excellent suggestions for things to do in the area, and was a wonderfully gracious and helpful host. Our kids (7 and 14) loved it and we would all gladly stay again.

Beautiful setting and convenient location. What a great view with the hills and Russian River!

Property is in a lovely setting and well appointed. We didn’t lack for anything. Very close to Healdsburg (we walked to and from town one day) which has fantastic restaurants and unique shopping. Highly recommend this home. Carina was easy to work with.

Carina, the host, was extraordinarily responsive, helpful and welcoming. I had to ask text several questions during our first day there. She patiently and cheerfully answered each text immediately. The house was charming, clean and comfortable. The property was gorgeous a lovely green lawn (rare for a riverfront home) with direct access to the river itself.

Little piece of paradise on the Russian River

We really enjoyed our stay in Healdsburg! Just a few minutes from downtown yet felt so removed overlooking the Russian river, which was so peaceful. We were able to walk down to the river and walk in the water, which was super fun! The beds and pillows were super comfortable. The shower had great water pressure and overall we had a great experience! I would highly recommend.

Relaxing space right on the river

We had a fantastic stay right on the Russian River with 4 adults and 2 teenagers. The rental was fully stocked with river gear (kayaks, paddleboards and canoes) with easy river access. The pool and shuffleboard court were enjoyed. Birdwatchers will appreciate the variety of birds around the property. We even saw river otters while out kayaking. Even though the owner lives just above the rental, it still felt very private and peaceful. A great mix of nature, comfort, and fun.

Awesome Trowbridge Property

This is a gorgeous property and the owner lives above. It felt as though me and my friends were the only people on the property. The beauty of this property made our stay extremely comfortable!!! The only draw back is that there is only a kitchenette. If the owner would add a small stove she could command more and it would complete this property!

Our stay at 1474 S. Fitch Mountain Road in Healdsburg

Our group of 10 spent 5 nights this week in in this VRBO property and we will expect to do it again. The property has a location on the Russian River with views that are beautiful. The 5 bedrooms and beds are comfortable and evenings are quiet and pleasant. The yard is good for small kids to run around, and the pool is another big plus. We saw hundreds of quail, some white egrets, blue jays, turkey vultures, red tailed hawks, and a few deer.

Great Location.....Excellent Accommodations

My family visited California for a wedding. This property is stunning. Great location on a large piece of property. The home is very spacious. We had a group of 8 of us and there was more than enough room. The owners were exceptional to deal with. It is very close to the downtown core of Healdsburg which has numerous shopping and dining options. There is also a golf course less than a mile away from this rental. I would highly recommend this location to anyone.

Great long weekend

I never leave reviews. But Carina really did go above and beyond to make sure we had a special trip. She took time out of her weekend to go over how we could take advantage of every kind of kayak, paddle board, intertube she made available. Nevermind offering up use of a ping pong table, bocce, croquet and even a shaved ice maker for the kids. Having that kind of river access and being able to walk to town was perfect for us. We could certainly see ourselves returning.

River Cabin Get Away

We had a wonderful 1-week stay at this charming river cabin. The inside is comfortable and well-equipped, with a spacious bathroom, very comfortable beds,and beautiful woodwork throughout. Outdoors you’ll find plenty of seating and lounging areas, a long pool (great for swimming laps!), natural-looking landscaping and beautiful views of the river. The kitchen has many glasses, mugs, dishes, etc., but it is small so don’t plan to do much cooking here. The owner may provide optional access to additional kitchen space. The location just on the edge of town is very convenient. We loved our stay here and plan to return soon!

Incredible location

The house is really one of a kind. The property has an extended waterfront right on the Russian River, and there are canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddle boards that you can use. Two of us kayaked upriver and saw an osprey at close range. The owner is extremely helpful and friendly. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped; there is so much stuff that it may take you a few minutes to find things. There are multiple locations outside where you can sit and eat or play games, even a treehouse. We are seriously thinking of going back in a year or two.

Time to Relax!

I've spent two separate, wonderful weekends at this very spacious, cozy, and private house.The first time was with several girlfriends, and the second was with several couples. It's very clean, comfortable and comes well equiped. It has a large separate living area (plus bathroom and separate entrance) below the main floor that's perfect for teenagers or another family. It's ideal for a family or group that wants to be close to downtown Healdsburg (we biked there), wants to golf (a couple minutes away), wants to sit along the river or go canoeing (we've done both), and/or just wants to relax and enjoy swimming in the pool. If the weather is nice you're sure to enjoy a few hours out on the front deck mesmerized by the beautiful views!

Fabulous setting

I can't say enough about this wonderful property! It is truly a gem. So close to amazing downtown Healdsburg, and yet so private and quiet. It is spacious, well appointed, and breathtakingly beautiful. Whether you are looking for a retreat, family reunion, girls' weekend, you name it! This house is fabulous. The huge stone fireplace and wood paneling throughout makes for a great place to cozy up during inclement weather and just relax. The kitchen was very well stocked and we were able to seat our whole party around the dining room table. The expansive decks, saltwater pool, and Russian River in the front yard make for lots to do when the sun is shining. And the convenient location is hard to beat. We rode our bikes to downtown for a little wine tasting. We golfed at beautiful Tayman Park that is literally less than a mile away. We can't wait to go back!

Beautiful retreat!

We couldn’t get over how amazing the backyard was. The view of the river and hills, so much wildlife, it was really everything you’d hope from the pictures. And it has lots of seating and a great pool, so we were out there for hours a day. We surprised ourselves by not even making it into the river during our stay, but we’re definitely hoping to go back, and that will be top of our list! The inside had the basics. I would note that the kitchenette is very limited, but in retrospect I can see it’s very accurately described in the listing, and it’s on me for not reading it carefully enough. I’ll also share our temperature observations, since other reviewers emphasized the lack of AC: we were up there for two 100+F days, and the lack of AC was no problem for us. Granted, we were on day trips or in the pool at the hottest times of day, but by evening it was perfectly comfortable indoors with the fans (and we are San Franciscans with a very low tolerance for heat! 😄) We had the property to ourselves during our stay. I’m not sure who (usually? sometimes?) occupies the upstairs unit, but if they use the backyard too, that may affect the vibe. Lastly, the host was very communicative and responsive, and gave us some great suggestions for local events during our stay! All in all an amazing getaway, and we really would love to go back in the future!!
