About Sally Weed
I am a fifth generation Northern Californian from the Central Valley. After living in Oakland and working in San Francisco for many years, I moved to the Dry Creek Valley in 2006 to devote my time to farming and crafting.
Sally Weed purchased this chateau / country house in 1998
Why Sally Weed chose Russian River
This is a special place, nestled in a side canyon of the Dry Creek Valley. Grape creek, a seasonal stream that provides habitat for steelhead as well as many other aquatic creates and birds, runs through the benchland portion of the property. The house is nestled into the side of the hill where the oak woodland begins to transition to redwood, madrone, and douglas fir forest.
What makes this chateau / country house unique
Great environment for walking, both on trails within fenced property (dogs can run safely off-leash!) and also in the immediate neighborhood. Four very nice wineries (Michel Schlumberger, Mounts, Quivira, and A. Raffanelli) are within easy walking distance (but do call ahead to confirm hours and also to make an apointment if needed). A nice longer walk (just under two miles) gets you to the Dry Creek General Store (and the adjacent awesome local bar where EVERYONE is welcome!) where you can pick up snacks, picnic food/sandwiches, cold and hot beverages. Open for morning coffee at 6:30am! If you bring or rent bicycles, the options are awesome, too. Take a spin up to Lake Sonoma and there is a nice climb up into the Rockpile AVA. Another great trip is over Canyon Road into Geyserville for lunch at Diavola. The cycling options are truly as diverse as your dining options in Healdsburg! I am happy to make recommendations about local restaurants and day trips as well. When you are here, you will feel like you are truly Out in the Country but you can be on the freeway in six minutes from my front gate and you can get to the Healdsburg Plaza (the beautiful tree-encircled town square...music all summer on Tuesday nights) in twelve minutes. I love living in Healdsburg, and I know you will love it too!

Beautiful and amazingly well-equipped Healdsburg getaway
We had a wonderful stay for a long weekend with our family and another family. The outdoor space is perfect- large pool and hot tub with stunning views, long outdoor dining table with lots of seating, and several beautifully-landscaped private seating areas throughout the property. It's quiet and peaceful and the house had everything we needed, including an amazingly well-stocked kitchen. We stay frequently in the Healdsburg area and we all agreed this was one of our favorite vacation rentals!
Great!
Excellent! First rate all around: the home - attractive, very comfortable and well equipped; the property; the view; and the thoughtful care and attentiveness of the owner.
Wine Country Perfection
We rented the house for our wedding party and ourselves in early July. It was everything we could've hoped for and more, relaxing, beautiful, the pool and the view were to die for. We started calling it the Real World Healdsburg house because it was the absolute best experience to have our closest friends surrounding us and everyone slept comfortably in their own beds. We hope to return over and over again if our gracious host would let us, Sally was just the absolute best! She even made us fresh squeezed Meyer Lemonade upon our arrival. We will be talking about this trip for years to come ❤️🍷
beautiful, comfortable and peaceful get-away
My family and I just returned from a long weekend at Weed Farms to celebrate the beginning of summer. Sally's home was just as her listing described. The home itself is comfortable and has everything you could need to prepare meals and enjoy time with family and friends. The pool/outdoor area is perfect for lounging and socializing and the views look out over vineyards and landscape that make you think you might be in Italy. We played football and catch on the lawn, cards on the terrace and barbecued every night. Our kids played in the pool endlessly and even enjoyed the hot tub at night. It was especially great to have our two dogs with us and they loved running around in nature on Sally's fenced property. Sally lives nearby and was available for questions when needed but the house feels very private. We had a great time wine-tasting at two wineries that were a two minute drive from the house and we also drove into Healdsburg for brunch one day, which only took about ten minutes. We highly recommend Weed Farms as a family retreat. It really is a special place.
Amazing home in excellent Sonoma Co location
What an amazing place and an amazing owner/host! We had friends visiting from New Zealand and wanted to treat them to a special visit to the Sonoma County wine country. Weed Farm was the perfect place. Sweeping vineyard views, fully-stocked kitchen and home, pool and spa, plenty of room for six adults to relax, cook and enjoy. Our host, Sally, is the best. She is the perfect combo of being so helpful and friendly without infringing at all on your stay. We will be back!
Serene hideaway with fantastic views
We had an incredible week. The house had absolutely everything you could possibly need. The views are mesmerizing and the peace and quiet was just what the four of us needed. This is the kind of place you never want to leave. Sally has thought of everything and could not have been a better host!! We will be back!
Map
Dry Creek Valley is a wonderful starting point for world-class bicycle tours at all levels. A six mile ride from home will take you on scenic West Dry Creek Road to Preston Farm and Vineyards for freshly baked bread, fermented treats of all kinds, fresh organic fruits and vegetables and lovely wine in a quirky, rustic and beautiful garden setting. A more strenuous ride can be had by heading up to Lake Sonoma and continuing a climb up into the Rockpile AVA, or through Alexander Valley (gorgeous) over to climb Pine Flat up into the Geysers. We love to share our road (and our home) with cyclists...and dogs, too.
