Since 2008, over 250 five-star guest reviews confirm Dry Creek Villa to be a truly exceptional, idyllic retreat. Dry Creek Villa consistently rates 5/5 stars from prior guests. Among the various comparable options in the Healdsburg area, Dry Creek Villa is without comparison: comfortable, private, quiet, sophisticated and relaxing.

Perched on a 40-acre hilltop right among the grapes at Lavender Hill Vineyards and about a mile up a paved private road and behind automatic gates, this secluded home comfortably sleeps 4 - up to 6 people max - and is the perfect retreat in wine country. It's just 12 minutes to the downtown Healdsburg plaza and is very close to many award-winning wineries. Lake Sonoma is 10 minutes up the valley. The iconic Dry Creek General Store is a short drive away.

The Villa's two stylish bedrooms are both furnished with contemporary queen-size platform beds, ultra-comfy premium mattress and quality linens for a restful night's sleep. There's room-darkening window coverings to enjoy a lazy morning in bed. Reading lamps let you snuggle up with a book or magazine.

The spacious bathroom with vessel sink and over-sized shower with room for two is not connected to either bedroom, making it convenient for all guests. Fluffy towels make you feel right at home.

The full electric kitchen with granite counters comes complete with the accessories to prepare light snacks or a complete gourmet feast, while a dishwasher helps make cleanup a breeze. Outdoors, there's a gas BBQ to grill your favorite foods.

The vaulted, airy main room with its bamboo flooring has a rectangular dining table that seats up to six. There's also a pull-out queen sofabed that converts into an additional sleeping platform. For entertainment, there's an AV receiver, SONOS, iPod connection, Apple TV, a 42" flat screen TV with a DVD/VCR player and Dish satellite with ~120+ channels for your viewing enjoyment. Through Apple TV, you may connect your own streaming accounts (Netflix, Prime Video, etc.). Board games, puzzles and reading materials round out the relaxation options. If business calls, there is a built-in desk for use with your laptop to connect to the available Wi-Fi network throughout the villa.

After a long day of adventures, soak yourself in the secluded, six-person Sundance Spa while viewing the deep starry sky and then rinse off under the private outdoor hot-water shower. By prior arrangements requested during your stay, you may also be able to take a dip in the 48 ft. solar-heated lap swimming pool at the owner's house nearby (from approximately May until October).

Fantastic stay in an AMAZING location!

We were super happy with our stay at this villa. Privately tucked away in the heart of Wine Country and Dree Creek Valley, it's a hidden gem. The hosts were very thorough, detailed, and courteous. The property was magnificent! We'll definitely be staying there again.

Wonderful place with amazing views!

We loved the peace of staying in the vineyards and expectations were exceeded with the views from every room in the house. Sunrises and sunsets on the deck are spectacular. The place feels private and is well away from the main house. Thanks Bill for being a great host!

Perfect spot to relax after wine tasting!

If you want seclusion this is the place. Beautiful views of the valley, mountains, and vineyards from this place. Loved the jacuzzi tucked in the vineyard and the 10-20 hummingbirds flying around every morning. The private heated outdoor shower is also a huge plus.

Quick Family Getaway

Located on a beautiful property with stunning views of Healdsburg. The vineyards outside the front door added to the charm. The property has everything you need. The bathroom could use a little updating as well as the window coverings throughout. Otherwise, the property was perfect for our getaway.

You won't be disappointed!!

We loved everything about this place. Gorgeous views, 10 min scenic drive from Healdsburg town square, private hot tub at the rear of the house for star gazing, so many great wineries within a very short drive. Owners are attentive without being intrusive in any way. We can't wait to come back.

Birthday Weekend

Dry Creek Villa was exactly as advertised and more. The house was well-designed and comfortable for myself and 4 guests. The grounds were stunning and it was a prefect retreat after a long day of wine tasting and traveling around Sonoma County. Bill was a fantastic host and more than helpful with any questions we had. We would most definitely stay here again.

Magical!

This was the second time we stayed here. It was wonderful the first time, hence the return and again it did not disappoint. We love this property because it is remote and oh so quiet in the hills. Privacy, peace, beautiful views, and wonderful, accomodating, professional hosts.

Beautiful setting

We had a lovely stay at this cottage. The grounds are beautiful and its very peaceful. The road is narrow getting there but its not to far from West Dry Creek. And only 15 minutes from downtown. We had an awkward conversation with one of the owners but an apology followed and we were very relieved and understanding. Everyone has a bad day. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us.

Wonderful one of a kind Healdsburg experience

A true gem in Healdsburg and perfectly situated near incredible wineries. The house is well laid out and sits among the vines with beautiful hillside views. The hot tub looking out at the vines was a popular amenity for our group. A must do is to book a wine tasting at Passalaqua winery. They make wine out of the Primitivo grapes at Lavender Hill and it is truly great wine. Plus Passalaqua has other excellent wines and the property is gorgeous. The Dry Creek Villa hosts were helpful and accommodating. Hope to be back soon!

Nice secluded retreat in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country

We had a great stay here! They owners were incredibly responsive and flexible. They also stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed when we checked in. The place is amazing - it's a secluded mountain retreat that is both removed from wine country, but also an easy 5 min drive to the heart of wine country and wine tastings. They have amazing views from the patio, where you see and hear only wildlife. There is almost zero light pollution, allowing you to see Milky Way Galaxy with the naked eye from the hottub in the evening. Incredibly quiet stay. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Sonoma Wine Country - especially Dry Creek and Russian River Valley.

Romantic Weekend Get-Away

Idealistic retreat to get away from busy city life, traffic, neighbors and distractions because you have none with this beautiful house nestled on top of a secluded mountain. The house was modern, clean, fully-equipped for our 3 night stay. We enjoyed the hot tub, watching the meteor showers, using the grill for a nice dinner and the great stereo set-up. I even used the desk to work one day remotely. We will definitely be back again and Bill was very helpful and accommodating. Thank you for making our wedding anniversary so special!

Great Place to Get Away!

We enjoyed our stay here! Steve was a very kind and responsive host and the views from the property were stunning. The only thing I would note for future guests is that the driveway is STEEP and we were not able to fit more than one car comfortably. When leaving the property, I was not able to turn my car around so I had to back out of the driveway down the major hill —without a backup camera, this proved to be challenging. That being said, if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is a great place to do it! We had coffee on the patio every morning and listened to the birds chirp (without hearing cars in the distance which was fantastic). Thanks Steve!

Great Location and Good Overall Experience

A great location amongst the vines, with amazing views! Some guests have complained about the winding road up the hill, but we thoroughly enjoyed it and considered it worth it for the treat at the top. The house itself is a perfect size for one or two couples, and we appreciated that the two bedrooms were virtually the same, saving "arguments" about who gets which room. The kitchen is adequately stocked with the basics to allow cooking meals at home, to be enjoyed on the deck. That said, the place could really use a refresh. Lots of little maintenance items are in need of attention and collectively detract from the 5-star potential of the villa. For the price, one would expect excellent finishes and amenities. Our experience was perfectly good, but not great.

Jaw-dropping views mixed with soul-soothing vibes. Dry Creek Villa was exactly as advertised. Close enough to Healdsburg and nearby vineyards to be convenient, yet far enough away to be secluded from the hustle and bustle, this place was the perfect home away from home for a wine weekend in Sonoma. We had everything we needed fora comfy stay, and our hosts were attentive and kind. The views from the property are incredible. Watching the sun rise every morning over the nearby hills and fog-enveloped valleys never got old. And the silence is truly serene.

Amazing stay over Labor Day Weekend

Unbelievable location and scenery. Great amenities, was perfect for making pizza and pasta with all the wine we brought back from tastings. If coming to Healdsburg you’d be hard pressed to find a better stay. Thank you!

Serene and Private Villa with breathtaking Views

We needed a quiet and private place in the area as we were attending a wedding and this villa was perfection. It’s private and beautiful with the most amazing views. The pictures don’t do it justice. Inside the space is welcoming but clean with modern touches that make it easy and comfortable to dwell. Great amenities and dog friendly. We have an elderly dog and he was in heaven. Bill and Scott were amazing hosts and were available to us when needed but we enjoyed full privacy as the property is nestled in its own gorgeous hill. We highly recommend this to anyone going to the area and we plan to stay here next time we visit the area again.

My stay in Sonoma County was a delightful and peaceful retreat, perfectly located near beautiful wineries and fantastic restaurants.

I recently had the pleasure of staying in this wonderful place in Sonoma County, and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, I was enchanted by the serene atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. The property was not only lovely but also incredibly quiet, exactly what I needed. One of the best parts of this home was its proximity to some of the best wineries in the region. I was able to explore a variety of vineyards and enjoy tastings without having to travel far. Additionally, there were plenty of fantastic restaurants nearby, offering delicious dining options that showcased the local culinary scene. The accommodations were charming and well-appointed, providing all the comforts I needed during my stay. Whether I was sipping coffee on the patio or unwinding in the evenings, every moment felt peaceful and rejuvenating. I can’t wait to return for another stay!
