Updated Healdsburg River Cottage: Minutes from Plaza, Tasting Rooms & Vineyards

This Cottage on Fitch Mountain is a perfect retreat for a couple or a small family. Recently fully renovated, the cottage offers modern comforts and sleek style distinctly influenced by its mid-century roots.

Centrally located for a wine country vacation yet only a five minute walk from the Russian River, three miles from the Healdsburg Plaza and less than 10 minutes away from wine tasting in the Alexander Valley, Russian River Valley and Dry Creek Valley.

This cottage was originally built as a vacation home on the Russian River. The entire building was renovated to modern standards then decorated in a classic 1940s theme. It retains the charm and feel of a country vacation rental with modern conveniences. The cottage has easy access to the River, the Healdsburg Plaza and the surrounding wine area.

The cottage has an open living and dining room, one bedroom, one bath and a full kitchen. The kitchen has a gas stove and modern appliances. The dining room has an oversized table with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy a meal, a game or to plan the next day's adventure. The living room of this vacation rental is furnished with a leather sofa and a leather loveseat and several large ottomans to curl up in for conversation or to enjoy a movie on Netflix.

The master bedroom has a luxuriously comfortable queen sized bed and classic mid century era antiques. The bathroom sports classic white subway and hex tiles and a claw foot tub.

Upstairs is a sleeping loft with a full sized bed and library area with low ceilings. There is a laundry room with washer and dryer and a patio with a picnic table out back. The front porch has a semi-private enclosed sitting area.

The house is designed for two people but there is room for a couple of kids upstairs in the sleeping loft. On one side of the loft is a library with a comfy reading chair. The other side has a full sized futon bed on a sleeping platform.

With more space, more privacy and more amenities, make your own breakfast, pack a picnic for the afternoon and fix a romantic dinner with fresh produce found in our local markets. This Healdsburg vacation rental is a comfortable home base for your Wine Country vacation.

Transient Occupancy Tax#1029N, Quiet hours 10pm - 7am, Maximum number of vehicles is 1.

Perfect getaway house for Bay Area travelers
Monique and John’s rental house was a perfect place to get away for a short weekend and they were very accommodating. It was cozy, clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The house is in a quiet neighborhood near the river, which made for a nice walk in the morning, and is a short drive to downtown Healdsburg and to multiple nearby wineries. We would definitely stay at this house again!

Pretty location. Lots of room. Vintage cabin.
There were only two of us but there was plenty of room for more guests. We enjoyed drinking wine on the front porch and walking to the beach

House is adorable and met all of our needs. Close enough to town and river.
All was great. Noisy neighbors (loud party on Saturday night and loud barking dog early in morning)on the right as you face the house but we still loved the house.

Great Healdsburg location
Want to thank Monique for working with us thru a change . Really accommodating. House is in a wonderful location just outside of downtown Healdsburg. This was a girls trip ... 2 of us....house is really best for a couple as the upstairs room is tough to get to....really narrow spiral staircase... Bed on the floor, no mirror or window coverings so bright in the morn and almost impossible to get luggage up there! But lower level and backyard is perfect. Would have been nice to have some bottled water available after traveling from east coast and driving 75 min to get there. ... Or maybe even a bottle of wine. Could use a mirror on a door too. But otherwise perfect for 2 with really accommodating owners.

Very relaxing property with lots of charm
We stayed during the height of the January 2017 rain/flooding. The Russian River was a couple feet shy of flood stage, but we were warm and dry in this very nice cottage. John met us on the first day to go over the property, and we were all set. The house is clean and has lots of charm. We were able to use netflix and pandora on the TV. However, if you're hoping to catch the college football championship like us, you may need to arrange your own streaming option or check out one of the bars downtown.

Just what we expecetd
The property is a perfectly quaint cottage right near the Russian River. It's just outside of downtown Healdsburg in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. The home was very clean and included all the amenities listed on the website. In addition, the kitchen was stocked with little extras like sugar, butter, jams, and teas. Not something you can always count on with a VRBO property, but greatly appreciated. The owner was very nice and greeted us at the property when we arrived. My husband and I were visiting for a wedding, so we didn't get much time to explore, but we did get a little time to walk along the river, which was beautiful. We would definitely try to rent the property again if we are ever back in the area.
