This is one of the most charming homes I've stayed in all the years I've been renting vacation homes. It is a newer home with exquisite eye to details. Clean, warm, inviting and I would return again and again if it were in a different location. The neighborhood left a lot to be desired.

We arrived in the early evening. The drive in was pleasant and scenic and then that turn onto Canyon road transports you to another level of quiet. Once we got in we were immediately charmed by the cozy intimate layout of the home and while decompressing from the drive on the big wonderful purple couch all we could do was admire where we were and just how perfect this little oasis was for what we needed. The home is welcoming, comfortable and has anything you might need to get away from the monotony and noise of everyday life. The garden outside is lovely and perfect to enjoy coffee or tea in the morning and just sit with your thoughts as the sun breaks through the surrounding redwoods. Five minutes to quaint little Guerneville where I surprisingly had one of the best burgers I’ve ever had, followed up the next day by the best fried chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. Fifteen minutes to Forestville where we enjoyed some of the best gluten free pizza we’ve ever had at a restaurant that used to be a service station but is now the centerpiece of a town doing things exactly how they want to do them. Can’t forget good old Russian River. Johnson’s beach was exactly what the doctor ordered. The water was perfect. We were there all day cooling off and taking in some great sun. Don’t forget your creek shoes. Thank you Rachel I don’t usually put in much time reviewing rentals I’ve used in the past, but this time I felt compelled to convey our experience in hopes of promoting

We traveled to Sonoma County for a friend’s 70th birthday celebration in Healdsburg. The house was lovely. Its location in a grove of Redwoods made it feel quiet and ageless. We were comfortable and found everything we needed to feel at home.

Quiet solitude
Beautifully appointed and quiet. Very comfortable. Great jump off point for exploring local area. Neighbors a little noisy but quiet in the house
