About Leighann
Healdsburg - what a great place to live and to visit. Our 15 acre farm property "Ru's Farm" has our home, 2 vacation cottages & 15 acres of vineyards. We can walk 20-25 minutes to Healdsburg Plaza -- just 1 & 1/2 miles. What a beautiful place to wake up every morning. My husband (John) and I both grew up in Sonoma County. We live on Ru's Farm with our children, dogs, cats, chickens and birds. John and I love to recharge by going on hikes through the California mountains and reading on the beach. We are looking forward to meeting you! -Leighann

What makes this cottage unique
Location is everything when you are on vacation--we are 1 & 1/2 miles to the Plaza -- you can walk or drive 4 minutes. Having wonderful restaurants, shops, and 200+ wineries all nearby makes for plenty of things to enjoy. Plus the Russian River is an 1/2 mile away -- the swim beach and kayaking add fun to summertime. Healdsburg is a friendly town for everyone to enjoy. Don't miss the Tuesday night free concerts in the Plaza in summertime. Great golf is nearby--we like the public course in Windsor + others in the area. Great weather & lots to do makes this a great place to live and visit.

Quiet little cottage inb eautiful gardens
We celebrate our wedding anniversaries by going away for a couple of days. Our 57th was spent in this lovely little cottage set in a magnificent garden and with gorgeous views of vineyards. An ideal place to relax, read and reflect. One of the best!
20 year anniversary
What a great place to stay. The property managers were wonderful and accommodating. Grounds were spectacular. Lovely walk into town
Fantastic Location, Amazing Cottage!
My husband and I spend a long weekend at the absolutely amazing cottage in Healdsburg. The pictures are exactly as the cottage is and it is perfect for 2 people. The little kitchenette is great and the bathroom is very tiny - but totally functional. While we were there we never saw another person - it was like we had the whole beautiful location to ourselves. It is very close to wineries - we went to the Coppola Winery (spectacular) and the Korbel Winery (a highlight of the trip - go on the tour!) and we drove all over the area. Thank you so much - it was a wonderful weekend!
Charming Storybook Cottage!!
Just back from or stay at the lovely Healdsburg Country Gardens. The cottage provided the perfect respite after the Healdsburg half marathon. A glass of wine on the porch while enjoying the beautiful views of the vineyard was the perfect way to end our day. I was really charmed by the photos of the cottage online and I was not disappointed. From the wrap-around porch to the beautiful gardens to the amazing views it exceeded our expectations. Barbara and Walt are lovely hosts - they provided us with many recommendations of things to do in Healdsburg, a lovely little town with amazing restaurants and wineries. We can't wait for our next stay!!
Great little getaway!
Just returned from our second visit to Healdsburg Country Gardens, such a great little getaway. The owners are so great and provided tips on restaurants and activities. The propery is beautiful, lush gardens, and great views of the vineyards. We had a romantic weekend and it was the perfect place to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday.
Excellent stay at cottage
The reviews are accurate as well as the pictures. It is a small cottage, so don't get any Misconceptions and the bathroom is very tiny. However, for a four night stay for the two of us, it was perfect. Owners were accommodating yet not intrusive and I felt immediately comfortable. The gardens are incredible and no picture could do them justice. Loved the views of the vineyard. We spent every evening on that deck and enjoyed the evening breezes and mild temperatures. Felt very private and quiet. We would come back here again without question. Love having the directions laid out to to us for walking to town or driving to Safeway. Although I have to say that walking to town was a bit of a challenge as the traffic on Bailhache can resemble a raceway at times and there is no sidewalk, just a soft shoulder. We would probably not attempt that again. We were late arriving on the first day and having a bottle of wine awaiting us as well as coffee for the next morning was a life saver. Highly recommend a stay here.
Map
Wine Tasting at more than 200 wineries within 30 minute of the property.
