About this property
Large Outdoor Kitchen, Pool, Hot Tub, Firepit...8 Mins From Healdsburg Plaza
OK, we did go a little overboard with the outdoor kitchen. But running back and forth to the house while you are BBQing is such a drag. So, we put in a double BBQ (regular and searing), a griddle, two refrigerators, freezer drawers, icemaker, 2 sinks, 3 burners, warming drawer, gas pizza oven, large island, even a dishwasher. And while it is quite large, it is still an intimate place for people to hang out.
But we didn’t stop there. Had to do the large freeform pool with large hot tub, huge gas firepit, waterfall features, double-sized mosaic tile outdoor dining table with café lights, multiple tiered seating areas, expansive kid’s play structure and a hillside vineyard producing chardonnay and cabernet (which you get to try). Also, outdoor foosball, ping pong, Connect4 and cornhole too. The one thing we don’t have is neighbors.
We couldn’t help ourselves. We fell in love with this 1910 Craftsman farmhouse with amazing views of the Alexander Valley and only 8 minutes to Healdsburg Plaza. We spent 8 years remodeling it and creating the outdoor space. We just love it and love even more sharing this special place with guests.
We were even featured in Sonoma Magazine as part of their "Stunning Wine Country Vacation Pools." article. But what is more satisfying is receiving reviews from guests like “you’ll never want to leave this house”, “the most perfect backyard in Healdsburg”, “the best rental property out there” and “Five stars isn't enough.”
And the “little overboard” also goes on inside. Another large fully stocked kitchen with large island, griddle, 4 burners, Thermador double oven, and extensive coffee station. An entertainment system with 80” 4K TV, 7.1 sound, Apple TV (complete with Hulu, HBO/Max, Netflix, Disney, Prime, Paramount, Peacock or buy any movie/show you want). Japanese Toto toilets in every bathroom that open for you, heats the seat and can even spray your bum – only if you want that of course. A true wood burning fireplace, lovely on those colder nights and central heating and air to make sure you are always comfortable.
And who says Fido shouldn’t join in on the fun? We love pets. We can provide multiple dog beds, bowls, toys and plenty of space outside to run around (the whole 3 acres is fenced). We do ask for a nominal pet fee which helps us clean everything spotless inside and out.
As for the bedroom layout, we just went through a major remodel. Now there are two bedrooms downstairs with their own full baths (showers). One has a king bed, the other a queen. Upstairs has two bedrooms which share a large bathroom (with tub/shower). One has a king bed and the other two twins. There are also two queen couch beds upstairs (one in a nook and the other in the sitting room).
One final note before you hopefully read some of our reviews. We want you to not just vacation at our house, but to have one of your best experiences ever. And if that is asking maybe too much, well, we do have a toilet that will spray your bum with water.

We had a great weekend enjoyed everything the house has to offer. The home is very comfortable, and is fully equipped with everything you need plus things you didn’t think you needed. We had the most enjoyable stay. The hosts thought of everything from comfort to entertainment for all ages .
We had a great stay, enhanced by the fact that the house is very well maintained and provisioned. For a family that enjoys cooking, celebrating and eating together this is the ideal Sonoma get-away.
This is our second stay in this property. We love it. Great outdoor. Very close to Healsburg. Super efficient communication with the owner. Highly recommend. Will come back.
We spent Labor Day weekend in this property. The outdoor space is amazing. Michael was super responsive, and nice! Great place, we would definitely come back.
it was the perfect location for our family, pool was great with lots of fun toys for the 3 yr old Outdoor kitchen area was amazing. thanks again Michael
Awesome house located close to town. Only 10 minute drive to many wineries. The house had everything needed for a great stay including an epic outdoor kitchen. Michael was a great host and easy to communicate with. I’ll be referring several friends to this house!
Our family had such a great time during our stay! The outdoor kitchen and dining area was spectacular. We all really enjoyed the pool and hot tub, playing ping pong, eating outside, etc. The kitchens were fully stocked with anything you may need to cook with. The hosts really made sure we had everything we needed. They were very responsive if we had any questions. Overall, we had such a wonderful time!
My family and I have traveled extensively and this overall was one of our favorite trips. If you love to cook and enjoy your meals in an amazing atmosphere this is the place to go. The outdoor kitchen is next level. The host thinks of ever tiny little detail you might need both inside the and outside of the house !!!
I would come back without a second thought
Amazing property. From the pool to the jacuzzi, outdoor seating, string lights and outdoor kitchen like no other, we couldn't have asked for more. Inside was farmhouse chic. Extremely comfortable beds and accommodations. Charming nooks and crannies everywhere. I could go on and on but have to mention the stunning waterfalls. Michael was very responsive to any and all questions and he has really thought of everything to make renter's stay fabulous. The only downside -- it was hard to cook indoors again when we got home. We'll be back.
The house and grounds were wonderful and relaxing. The road noise was the only small issue, which really wasn’t bad. But the thing that set this place apart was the supplies in the house. It had everything I can possibly imagine. Very thoughtful and had such a positive impact on the experience. Just do it. You won’t regret it I promise
My husband and I stayed at this gorgeous Healdsburg home. We will definitely be back during the summer. The backyard is truly amazing. There are so many amenities that I can't list them all. The pool is fantastic. The outdoor kitchen is amazing and has every feature you could imagine. We enjoyed sitting at the fire pit with the sound of water moving through the brook. Our dog was welcomed and had a blast running through the very large yard. Michael was a very helpful and responsive host. We loved every moment of our weekend vacation.
Exceeded our expectations for the property. There were so many activities and thoughtful touches that made our stay memorable. The pool, hot tub, fire pit, and outdoor kitchen were exactly what we needed for a relaxing weekend.
We truly appreciated how well-stocked, supplied, and thoughtfully arranged everything was. We always had what we needed, which made our stay even more enjoyable.
Michael was an amazing host. His communication prior to our visit was prompt and helpful, and he accommodated us with a special request. Additionally, when we left something behind, Michael went above and beyond by finding it and shipping it back to us. Wow! We will definitely be coming back for another stay soon.
Our family had a great stay at this amazing home! The house is completely stocked with all of the essentials, plus more. So many bath supplies, kitchen, extra sunscreen - you name it, they've thought of it. The house is very nice, the beds are comfortable. TVs in every room with lots of subscription choices.
Of course, the best is the outdoors. Very large, beautiful pool with a nice hot tub. Comes with more pool toys and floats than you could ever use. Outdoor kitchen is bigger than most houses with numerous refrigerators, BBQs, storage, pots/pans, etc. Large outdoor table, seating area, fire pit. Plus games! Corn hole, ping pong, and - our favorite - the hatchet throwing game!
View is beautiful from the top seating areas. Perfect for that evening glass of wine.
The host was very friendly, attentive, responsive and accommodating.
We loved this place and will definitely be back.
If I could give this stay more than 5 stars, I would! The home and outdoor area were gorgeous and well kept up, the hosts were incredibly thoughtful, the location was great, the check in/out process was easy…I could go on and on. I would love to come back and stay here again!
Can’t say enough about this property. The owners have thought out every detail. We will definitely be back.

Perfect girls getaway
Beautiful home with a relaxing outdoor oasis. We enjoyed the waterfall, bonfire, pool and hot tub throughout the weekend. The owner was very responsive and accommodating to all our needs. Wineries are all around for easy access and tastings. Would highly recommend this place.
This house has everything! It makes it hard to leave the house. I spent a wonderful weekend with a group of old friends cooking outside, sitting by the pool, hanging by the fire in the evening, it was lovely. It was also nice to have enough beds for everyone to sleep on their own. Highly recommend!
Wonderful Stay in Healdsburg at this Beautiful Home
This house is beautiful and charming, and the outdoor space simply cannot be beat. We loved the amazing outdoor kitchen and fire pit, hot tub and patio, sitting areas overlooking the vineyards, fully and thoughtfully equipped house, and lovely furnishings. Leslie was attentive and very helpful. The guests in the upstairs bedroom heard some road noise at night (busy harvest time) but then discovered the sound machine provided (so many thoughtful touches!) and that worked well. Otherwise, the property is very private, quiet and so comfortable. We had a perfect stay and can't wait to return! Thank you!
I never give reviews but I’ve also never had a host go so far above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. Michael was extremely attentive, texting and emailing in advance to make sure we knew exactly what to expect and we’re prepared for our stay. He was super responsive while we were there, as well, but he makes everything so easy at the property that there’s really no reason you need to reach out to him. I did because I was so impressed with the backyard that I wanted tips for my own place!
The house has everything you could possibly need and they maximized enjoyment at the property. There are so many different spaces to utilize and they have all kinds of little bonuses, like a house scavenger hunt, a river and waterfall through the hill, a box of dog treats for those with pets, free wine, and a welcome sign when you arrive. We went with 3 other couples on this trip, but talked to those friends about bringing our kids next time because they’d have a blast. It’s really a great place for everyone on any kind of trip.
Thank you, Michael, for the over the top hospitality!
Absolutely amazing stay - best vrbo stay so far. We came for the Healdsburg wine festival but wanted to stay at this home longer instead of going out to the wineries. The place was inviting and came with every possible amenity. Worth every penny! Michael was incredibly welcoming and responsive. One of our group left his suit after coming from work and Michael mailed us the suit immediately after we left the property. Perfect birthday.
Stayed for a week with family, including our two doggies! We were all so happy to finally have a family vacation. No need to travel far or board a plane. This home is amazing with everything you could want and more. The pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen….too many amenities to list and no words can describe how awesome this home is. We were lucky enough to meet the owner who is so kind and generous. This home will not disappoint.
Michael was a fantastic host, appropriately communicative. The property was perfect for our needs. Had every accessory you could want. The yoga mats were a very special touch.
Look forward to our return.
