About this property

A redwood retreat in the heart of Sonoma County wine country (w/ Fiber Internet)

***Update - August, 2021 ***

To see the current air quality at the home, please visit PurpleAir.com and search for Healdsburg, to the west of town you'll see our sensor called "Starlight Grove." Please message us if you'd like a direct link to it.

We recently completed major renovations on the house and I wanted to share the upgrades.
- Fireplace - we have installed a gas fireplace to keep you cozy
- Dedicated Fiber Internet - previously we relied on satellite internet which was unreliable at times. We now have business class dedicated fiber internet for all of your Zooming and streaming needs so you can quickly get work done.
- Renovations - along with the fireplace, we have new flooring, countertops and paint in the main house.
- Furniture upgrade - we also have upgraded with a number of new pieces from Restoration Hardware and vintage pieces.
- Hot tub - we installed a new hot tub in Dec 2019, so the hot tub is less than a year old.

(Updated pictures coming soon, please ask if you have questions.)

Welcome to Starlight Grove, the ideal retreat for you and your family. Just over an hour from the Golden Gate Bridge you will find yourself in a magical setting that provides instant relaxation. With a host of amenities you will feel like you landed in your own private resort.

We've created Starlight Grove as a wine country retreat with easy access to some of the best wineries in the world here in Sonoma County. It's a wonderful area for cycling, hiking & outdoor activities, or just relaxing.

The space

Accommodations:

Main House: A light airy house with Chef's Kitchen. 2 Large Bedrooms on the main level - 55 Inch TV for movie nights and and unparalleled views of the creek and surrounding gardens. All linens are organic and we pride ourselves on finding the best quality products for our guests.

Master offers a Queen Bed, Luxurious ensuite Bath and Walk-In Closet surrounded by views of the rushing water and Redwoods

2nd Bedroom has Queen Bed, dedicated bathroom, and fireplace, with views to the Garden and Pizza Oven.

3rd Bedroom, Downstairs and detached from the main house this room overlooks the creek with 2 single beds. It is ideal for teenagers. Please note: sometimes younger children do not want to sleep there because it has a separate entrance and no internal staircase to house.

Little Dipper - The Guest House - A cute and private cottage with own bath, efficiency coffee and fridge. A queen bed, and sitting area as well as a private deck overlooking the treehouse makes this the perfect private getaway.

The Treehouse - Kids (old and young) will be instantly charmed by our beautifully handcrafted treehouse. With private decks and sleeping loft - this is a bonus extra sleeping room. Includes sleeping pads, and heat and is fully finished.

The house in the redwood grove sits right along Mill Creek, which feeds the Russian River and runs year round. Between May and September the creek is wonderful way to stay cool, and there is a swimming hole on the creek steps from the house.

We love the contrasting colors of the sky and the green of the redwoods - during the day the sky is the bluest of blue, and at night the stars are right at your fingertips with no light pollution at all.

We love the Healdsburg area with access to world-class cycling, wine-tasting, culinary delights and more.

We feel so disconnected and unplugged when we visit this part of the world, and though wifi is available, the best screen time is outside staring at the redwoods and watching the birds and ducks in the creek.

We hope you'll enjoy this home as much as we do, its really a special place. Welcome.
