We enjoyed the comfortable home with a lovely outlook over the river. The neighborhood is quiet and our time on the river, sitting on the deck and in the hot tub was peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely return.

We loved staying by the river at this location! It was a super close walk to a hidden beach we hadn’t known about. And only 10 minutes to town. The house was very clean and the kitchen well-stocked. Master bedroom was beautiful. Note there are only 1.5 bathrooms, so showering was a little tight for a group of 6.

This is really a pretty spot with great river access. Just a couple things to keep in mind: Bring your own cutting board if you will be doing any kind of cooking involving cutting. Also, the neighbor to the left as you look at the house from the street, kept the porch light on all night - this shines into the main bedroom, and there are no drapes, so I couldn't sleep well. The outside garbage cans were full when we got there, so we had trouble putting our trash out.
Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021

This spot is perfect for those who are hosting or participating at an event at the Villa Chanticleer, such as a wedding. The Villa is only a short drive away. Amenities in the home are plentiful, with a beautifully upgraded kitchen, spacious deck, and various sleeping arrangements. Getting into the nitty gritty, the sofa bed and the master bedroom are in the same room, but there is a divider in the form of a curtain, so both parties can have privacy. Parking is good for up to 3 cars (1 in front of the house, 2 in the car port) but if you have more, they can park in the triangle at the end of the road. Not too far. The downsides we're few and far between. The only real downside is the 1.5 baths. If you are planning to sleep 8, some planning might be required to make sure everyone has a shower. The hot water never ran out, though. Overall, great place to stay!

Nice but not great. The location is way out of town, it's any a couple of miles but the road is a twisty mess that takes a long time to navigate. Once there the neighborhood is a bit rough. Inside there is no seating for dinning. Just a small corner table that seats 4 and a separate counter that seats two. They claim you can sleep 8 but the fold out sofa is in one of the bedrooms. Would be ok for small kids but not a separate couple. The property management company is slow to respond and can not be reached on the weekend. On the plus side the master bedroom and deck have a great view, the place was clean and being right in the river is really nice. Overall I would recommend it for up to 6 guests that don't want to eat together.

Nice house - well appointed, clean, etc. The deck is gorgeous, great furniture, great view. Hot tub definitely needs some work, a bunch of jets didn't work, but it was fine. Wasn't clear that the sofa bed and the master bedroom were pretty much the same room just separated by a curtain, so that wasn't ideal (for adults who would like a little vacation privacy from their kid!!!) and would have been helpful to know. River is very low right outside the house and up and down a ways - like ankle deep - but of course that's drought, river is low most places. No dishwasher detergent or aluminum foil, had to go buy. Cleaners showed up at 10 in the morning on our final morning, but the informational email said very clearly check-out at 11. Manager called us, pretty aggressive, at 10:05 to tell us we were supposed to be out by 10, and when I told her that she had sent us an email saying checkout at 11 and I was looking at it right now, she said the binder in the house said 10 am. ?????? I don't think I ever looked at a binder. I of course went by the email they sent. She was pretty snotty about it. Overall nice house but didn't love the unpleasantness that was their fault as we were packing up.

We stayed in this home for three nights this past week. The listing shows and describes a vastly different property than what we discovered upon arrival. The only accurate part of the listing is that of the kitchen. The rest of the home was clean, but definitely not "updated" or "elegant". It's located in a random neighborhood on a densely populated narrow street of unkept homes on the river, and was quite noisy at times. The sunken hot tub featured on the listing photo doesn't exist. The property is overgrown with trees and bamboo, and we could barely even see the river from the deck. The hot tub looked clean but the chlorine smell was too overpowering. The entire outdoor space was covered in dead leaves, the BBQ was filthy, outdoor cushions were moldy, and the descent down to the river was covered in brush and leaves. It was steep, slippery and treacherous with no handrail to hold on to. The "boat dock" is just floating plywood with no way to secure a kayak or human trying to get in or out of the water. Two kayaks were under the deck stored amongst other junk. The "cozy fireplace" was non-functioning with a decorative fake log centerpiece inside. Two of the bedroom fan chains were broken and stuck on high all the time. It's now obvious as to why there are no street view pictures or current river view pictures of the property in the listing. We will never book with this management company again. We grossly overpaid and they under-delivered.

We loved the porch and the private river access the most! It was so great to be on the river and enjoy the trees surrounding the deck. The big table outside was great for a group dinner. The house was clean, and when we had a problem with the coffee maker, they brought us a new one (and fresh coffee) within an hour. I'd stay again!

Management company was great to deal with & very responsive. Great to know there was laundry as we’d been traveling for almost a week prior. No information in the materials at the cabin about laundry so glad I had asked. Beds & bedding was very comfortable. Gorgeous view & was private even with neighbors. Kitchen had all the essentials. Loved the sectional & areas for seating. Location is perfect for a wine tasting trip.

This place was great. Just a few miles from downtown Healdsburg and wine country. The deck is the best feature….perfect for hanging out or BBQ-ing with a view of the river.
