This elegant sunny studio apartment is located on one of the most exclusive vineyard properties, located on Chalk Hill Road in the heart of Alexander Valley Wine region, in Sonoma County, serene, private and well appointed. The apartment is furnished with a delightful cross of modern and traditional furnishing, lots of windows and the only noise you will hear is my neighbors chickens. The studio is above the garage (so there are stairs involved), gives my guests a panoramic view of the vineyard. This rental is perfect for cyclists who would like to start their daily rides right outside the gate, or if wine tasting is your thing - you will be in heaven. Guests are treated more like visiting friends than clients, you will be greeted by the owner, with a chilled bottle of wine and cheese upon your arrival, and breakfast fixings stocked (organic eggs from my neighbors chicks) in the fridge! This experience is unforgettable and an opportunity that should not be missed...

We were really blessed to be able to stay in this adorable studio. We enjoyed the privacy of the environment and were able to totally able to relax and enjoy spending time together. It was a mother-daughter weekend and we enjoyed biking around the wine country, drinking good wine, and having wonderful meals together. There is also great antique shopping and beautiful shops in Healdsburg. We ate at the I am Grateful organic restaurant for lunch & just had a ball!! I highly recommend this place if you want to get away and relax.

Susan made our stay special. She treated us like her new best friends. She gave us tips on where to go and where to eat. The place was comfortable, clean, and nicely done. She was a thoughtful and gracious host. This was a great place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Mike and Jo (Minnesota)

We had a wonderful stay here at this well appointed studio. Very clean, tastefully decorated and private. Susan was a great hostess, we felt welcome and pampered by the wine and cheese and breakfast makings. Can't wait to go back again! We truly enjoyed it.

A very sweet, perfectly laid out, get-away. Lovely vineyard surrounds the house...and quiet Chalk Hill Road area is the ideal backdrop to road cycling through Sonoma. The bottle of wine, cheese, fruit, and coffee was a great touch - thank you Susan. Loved having the quiet of the vineyard while being smack dab in the middle of Healdsburg and Calistoga for restaurants etc (both approx. 15min drive). We will be back. (ps: perfect for pets btw)

A Little Slice Of Heaven In The Wine Country

Review Submitted: 08/02/11
My husband, our dog and I had the pleasure of staying at Susan's home. From the moment I spoke to Susan inquiring about her studio I was reassured I made the right choice for our weekend getaway. Her charming studio was far enough from the hustle and bustle of the main town and freeway but yet close enough to all the wineries and sightseeing near by. From the moment we drove through her gate, in the front door and laid eyes on the wonderful touches of her home...everything from the welcoming large vase of roses (from her garden I am sure), the bottle of wine, cheese, crackers, fruit, breakfast goodies...the list just goes on....we felt we were in paradise. The home was immaculate...so clean and the details were endless to make us feel at home. Susan was so accommodating to our many requests...everything from storing our ice packs, humoring our barking dog when she came to the door to adjusting our departure time. I can not thank her enough for being such a gracious hostess and making out stay so enjoyable and relaxing. We look forward to returning to Healdsburg and staying at Susan's "little slice of heaven" in the wine country. With Sincere gratitude for making our weekend a memorable & enjoyable stay.

Our stay in Healdsburg and this peaceful Chalk Hill estate left us refreshed and ready to return to our busy lives. We cannot thank Susan enough for her most generous hospitality. She will ask you if you need anything - and not only does she accommodate, but anticipates beyond anything you'd expect. Imagine entering into this 5 star gated setting with Spode, Egyptian cotton, fluffy down comforters, bottles of wine, fresh flowers, fresh eggs, handmade crackers and delicious cheese all set before you. Wake up to cool breezes and slight fog over the vineyard. Heavenly! Aloha - until we meet again...

Perfect for 2 in Alexander Valley

My husband and I stayed here for three nights in September. The apartment was delightfully decorated and impeccably clean. I'm a "clean freak", so don't take that lightly coming from me! We loved the location. It is set among vineyards in the Alexander Valley. We have visited Napa and Sonoma MANY times (this was our 20th visit), so I'm embarrassed to admit that we had never tasted at the wineries in this area. We were so pleasantly surprised at not only the beauty of the wineries, but also at the quality of many of the wines. The fact that this property is located right among the wineries makes it a great home base for tasting in the Alexander Valley. We would not hesitate to stay here again. The only warning is for people who plan to also work from this spot. We couldn't get internet access and our cell phone service was VERY spotty. We didn't mind, though, because we were there for some R&R! TV reception was fine.

Perfect Healdsburg Getaway

Review Submitted: 09/15/10
My husband and I stayed here to attend a concert at the Rodney Strong winery and it was a perfect location. It is a wonderful place to stay. The property is on a beautiful road, down the street from several wineries and Susan was a wonderful host. The cottage is bright and comfortable, and we made breakfast in the morning with the eggs from the chickens next door. Amazing. Since it is a dog friendly location so close to Healdsburg but feels so far away in vineyards, we will certainly be back. Thank you, Susan!

My husband and I stayed 5 nights at Susan's place. What a lovely, private, and comfortable place--the view was lovely! Susan supplied us with great things for breakfast and met every request! Her roses are incredible and we enjoyed a beautiful bouquet of them in our room. We watched deer wander in the field next to the studio one evening at dusk. Although the studio is located away from town--it is a quick and beautiful trip either direction to get to many activities. Healdsburg is a wonderfully quaint town with friendly people, restaurants, and wine tasting. The wireless connection was unpredictable in the studio so don't depend on it--although you shouldn't need it if you here to relax! The only other thing that bothered us was the dogs barking when the windows were open at night but I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again at Susan's wonderful studio!
