Luxury, privacy, and comfort, with a hot tub and sunset views over a hillside vineyard and mountains beyond -- all just minutes from the incredible charm of downtown Healdsburg and dozens upon dozens of the best wineries you'll ever visit in your life. Or is there something else you were looking for?
Oh, right. A gourmet kitchen, spa-quality shower bathroom, possibly the most comfortable bed you'll find in a rental scenario, full-sized washer/dryer, tons of hummingbirds buzzing the purple whatchamacallit flowers on the comfortable lanai, strong A/C for summer and heat for chilly winter mornings, owners who make it all so easy...
Honestly. I'm not sure how much better this place could be -- for our anniversary getaway to the Russian River area, it was perfection.
A couple of quick recommendations:
• The driveway is steep, narrow, and has hairpin turns that are pretty challenging after dark -- so don't come in anything larger than a mid-sized SUV
• Wineries? Our favorites on this trip were A. Rafanelli and MacRostie (both well worth the reservations)
• Food? Everyone pointed us toward Baci in downtown Healdsburg. They were right. Also: Plank (just 5 minutes away) has great coffee and breakfast eats.
