Newly Refurbished! Nest Cottage at ru's Farm.

Welcome to ru's Farm! Our Nest Cottage is tucked away on 15 stunning acres of vineyards, farmland, gardens, and Sonoma County views that will take your breath away.

Our Nest is a sweet getaway for those who are active exploring trails, rivers, shopping, and restaurants. We are just 1.5 miles away from downtown Healdsburg.

Nest is perfect for 2 people - a cozy, one-room farmhouse with a **NEW** California King bed, organic Coyuchi sheets, and a charming kitchenette and bathroom. Grab your cup of coffee and enjoy the deck with views over the valley floor below, spanning beautiful farmland and vineyards, including ru’s own Clearview Vineyards. Or pour a delicious glass of Sonoma County wine in the evening to enjoy a most impressive Healdsburg sunset.

Ru's Farm is a country setting just a mile and a half to charming downtown Healdsburg. Three minutes in the car or a twenty-minute walk (be careful, our road has a tight walking shoulder). Seasonal bike rentals, canoe and kayak rentals are just down our road.

Having wonderful eateries, boutiques, and small family-owned wineries all nearby makes for plenty of things to enjoy. The Russian River, swim beach and kayaking is ½ a mile away and adds much fun to summertime. Healdsburg is a friendly town for everyone to enjoy.

Don't miss the Tuesday + Saturday farmers market and free concerts in the summer.

Quiet hours are 10pm to 7am. We allow one vehicle per Cottage.
We are a working farm with trucks and tractors in our vineyards throughout the year.
We have landscape maintenance on Mondays and Fridays 9am - 3pm.

Chilly reception, but a rejuvenating and delightful stay
I didn't know how much I needed this getaway until I was settled into the Nest cottage. After unpacking, I discovered there was no heat coming from the "fireplace." Despite trying every switch, the "fireplace" stayed dark. It was too late to do anything and I wasn't cold, so I climbed into the large, cozy bed and fell asleep. It wasn't until waking the next morning that I realized how cold it had gotten. I promptly sent texts and notes to the owner and property manager. Both responded with dismay and worked to troubleshoot the issue. Within a few hours, the property manager arrived with a newly assembled space heater that did the trick. They also deducted one night from my total fee, which I greatly appreciated. The next few days were blissfully solitary with beautiful views and lots of space to wander, smell the lavender, and pick a lemon for my morning tea. With downtown Healdsburg just minutes away, good food, coffee, and groceries were readily available. One minute I could be in the traffic of the square and the next I'd be settled on the patio with nothing but the sound of leaves, wind, and birds and the vineyards stretched out before me. The next time I need to escape sensory overload or truly wind down, I know exactly where to go to nest.

The perfect wine country cottage
Cannot express how beautiful the setting of this property is! The view alone was enough for me to give 5 stars. The cottage is small but has everything you need. Healdsburg is just a short drive and there are a number of great wineries just around the corner. I hope to go back soon!

Small, cozy and perfect
The Nest is tucked away in a beautiful garden overlooking vineyards as far as the eye can see. Tiny inside, it nonetheless boasts a king-size bed with the most comfortable mattress, a kitchen area and functional bathroom. Someone had paid attention to the small details prividing a make-up mirror, a night light and furniture that’s easy to re-arrange to suit your needs.The only thing I would suggest is tw o chaise lounges on the side porch. The Adirondack chairs are miserable after five minutes. But, all in all, a very magical little “nest”.

Enjoyed our private Nest
Well maintained properties. Quiet and secluded. Loved sitting on the porch with the constant breeze arriving from over the neighboring vineyard. Excellent launch point to the local wineries, Healdsburg and the Pacific Coast. Bathroom is tiny as noted in other posts. Shower may not be large enough for people over 200 lbs..... No complaints. Excellent communication with owner. Well stocked for what we needed which was just breakfast snacks and drinks, to include coffee.

The Good The cottage was very cozy. The gardens are amazing. Great location for exploring different areas, from Napa to the Coast. We almost had the place to ourselves. Enjoyed coffee each morning on the deck with the smell of flowers, pollinators doing their thing, and quiet. At least that is how it felt...until The Bad There is a vineyard right below the cottage. We were awoken around 3 or 4 am, on thr 3rd night, to a tractor and a very high pitched noise. This lasted for about an hour. At first we thought it was a siren due to a wildfire thay had started the day we arrived. Not the owners fault by any means. Just be aware that this is farm country. The last morning we were awoken a bit early to mowing and very noisy leaf blowers. It was very irritating. Couldn't enjoy the last morning on the deck. We actually hurried to checkout due to this. Would have been nice to know this was going to happen. Not a great way to finish the vacation in our opinion. All and all. We recommend the place. Just be sure to check with the owners on what is happening on the property. They are a wedding venue, so understand the need for ground care.

Review of Ru's Farm
We went to Healdsburg to visit friends and enjoy the sunny weather. We were delighted with the beautiful vineyard views and comfortable cottage, spacious deck, and many other amenities that the host provided. Being in nature was so relaxing that we spent most of our time at the cottage.

Lovely cottage for our extended weekend stay. Beautiful facility, quiet, clean and 5 minutes from downtown Healdsburg. We will stay here again if we come back! The bathroom and shower is small ( we didn’t mind but it is tight). Host was very kind and communication about check-in/ check-out was super easy!

Just Okay. Not recommended in cooler months
The good: Checkin was very easy. Bed was excellent. Grounds were pretty. Plenty of space to park our bikes out in front of the cottage. Easy bike into town and over to the winery areas. Short drive into town to all the outrageously priced boutiques. Good restaurants. The not so good: This cottage is very SMALL, especially the bathroom. Yes the description says small, but until you’re in it you don’t realize how small. We are not big people. It says “newly renovated” but keep in mind it is not insulated. We didn’t find it “cozy”. The weather became somewhat unseasonably cool while we were there (April) and the gas heater is completely inadequate to heat the bathroom on the other side of the room. The bathroom was freezing all the time. The was no mention in our check in letter about the electric space heater way on the top shelf in the closet. We only discovered it as we were leaving. If you leave the gas heater on while you are gone all day or overnight, you’ll end up with a sauna. So, I would not recommend this place during cooler weather. It is not “cozy” when cool. Would be fine in the summer when you can enjoy the porch. We didn’t spend any time out there due to rain and cool temps. We are not high maintenance people and have camped throughout our lives. This was like camping.

Delightful Cottage
This cozy cottage is nestled within beautiful and scenic grounds with a fabulous view of the vineyards below. You have a great sense of privacy and security, and the right ambience to enjoy romantic nights seated outside on the Adirondack chairs sipping wine or other beverages. The king bed is very comfortable for a great night's rest for the day ahead for exploring all that Healdsburg offers. The host, Lele, is very friendly and approachable, which adds to the joy of renting this accommodation for getaways. We came here for our anniversary and will consider coming again for other occasions.

Farm cottage
Sweet 1BR/1BA cottage on a working farm about 10-15 min. drive into Healdsburg. Very nice amenities like bedding, large throw, 2 chairs, table, small fridge, kitchenware. Small gas furnace--takes almost an hour to warm up comfortably. Tiny bathroom with shower but no counter for toiletries. Downside was bed was too soft and lumpy. Porch area w/ BBQ, table & chairs--didn't use due to rain.

A charming wine country getaway steps from Healdsburg
We absolutely loved our stay! It was a charming cottage overlooking the vineyards with a fireplace to keep us cozy.
