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 beds, there are 8 in total. The master suite has a king bed, located upstairs with its own double-sink full bathroom and separate sitting room. The other bedrooms are downstairs. Two have queen beds, both with french doors out to the backyard. There is also another bedroom (connected by french doors to one of the bedrooms) which has 2 twin beds. There is another full bath downstairs plus a half guest bath. There are sofa beds in the upstairs sitting room, master bedroom alcove and downstairs living 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.

Paradise in Healdsburg
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.

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

Great Getaway
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.

Oasis backyard
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.

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

Amazing Home in Alexander Valley Area!
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.

Most attentive host pulling out all the stops
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.

Absolutely Amazing Property & Owners
Not enough words to express how truly amazing this “resort” is. It literally has everything inside & out. Outdoor Kitchen is phenomenal as is inside. Excellent bedding, kitchenware, toiletries (quality toilet paper), stocked with Advil, Tums, shampoo, bandaids, ++++. So many personal touches added to this stay like aprons & baseball caps (as our 3 yr old says - we all match!), pizza dough for us to make personal pizzas, outdoor games, an incredible scavenger hunt that was fun, taught us about the home and surrounding area, and had generous rewards. Amazing waterfalls, hot tub, pool + toys, great tables, chairs, ice makers…. Awesome bottles of wines left for us. Michael was extremely responsive each and every time we sent text messages including selling us wine from their wine cellar. I could literally go on and on about this property. Many wineries closed or significantly restricted due to COVID and previous fire damage but staying in the beautiful property made it all ok. Michael, Leslie and their daughter Millie are incredible people who make this world a much better place. Definitely will return!!
