Location: Healdsburg, Russian River, Sonoma County, Wine Country, California, USA (1 hour north of Golden Gate Bridge off Highway 101)
Accommodations: Cottage, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
The perfect weekend retreat for nature and wine lovers alike. Situated amidst a Pinot Noir vineyard and overlooking a picturesque 6-acre lake, this charming French-style cottage offers the peace and serenity of a wine country setting but is only 4 quick miles from Healdsburg’s downtown attractions.
A cozy studio kitchen, dining area and living room with sofa bed open upon a Mediterranean garden with bubbling fountain and stairs leading down to the water’s edge. French doors give way from a spacious bedroom, furnished with antiques and romantic-canopied queen-sized bed, to a Wisteria-covered patio with bistro table and pair of rustic rocking chairs; the ideal setting for sipping a fine wine or enjoying a famous Downtown Bakery sticky bun.
Whether you’re in to actively visiting the area’s many excellent wineries and bike trails, relaxing on the dock watching the local water fowl, or dozing in hammocks beneath the willow pergola, this cottage’s location and ambience make it one of the most unique accommodations in the Sonoma wine country.
