About the host
Hosted by Tim Irvin
Hi, I'm Tim. I live in San Francisco full-time but enjoy escaping to the Wine Country or the Mountains as often as possible. I have been a vacation rental host for nine years, and this is a newer property for me. I hope you enjoy this serene getaway as much as I do.
Why they chose this property
I love how peaceful this location is, nestled in a redwood grove. The creek flowing through the property is so relaxing. I especially appreciate how close it is to Healdsburg, yet it feels like a million miles away.
What makes this property unique
This property is a one-of-a-kind gem, especially the peaceful outdoor space. The back is generally shady and cool among the redwoods, and the front porch is usually sunny and warm—take your pick.
