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

Cozy cottage in a lovely place
We had ourselves a fun wine tasting getaway weekend in Healdsburg and this cottage was the perfect place to stay. All the amenities were as described. Check in and out were both smooth and easy. Thanks for an excellent time!

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.

Perfect place for our short stay in Healdsburg.
After spending the week in San Francisco at a conference, this was the prefect place for needed weekend R&R. It was comfortably furnished and had the necessary amenities. Close to Healdsburg Square and Dry Creek Valley / Alexander Valley wineries.

cute house, but no AC in hot weather with baby and inflexible management
I really wanted to like this place - good locations in Healdsburg, cute cottage. Would have been perfect if it wasn't up to 105 in Healdsburg while we were there. We arrived and were very happy with the house, however, when we got there, it was hot so we tried to turn on the AC, but there was no AC. We called management and they stated that it never got hot enough for AC, that we could open the windows at night (temp improved around 10 pm) and we could try to portable AC unit. The house got hotter and hotter and I had our 2 month old baby who started to sweat and cry hysterically from the heat. I tried setting up the AC, which read the inside it was 88 degrees. The AC unit did nothing for the heat and my infant started to sweat. As a physician, I was all to aware this was an unsafe situation for my infant. Therefore, my husband and I had to leave for the safety of my baby. I tried explaining this to Monique, but she stated the house couldn't have been that hot and that if I had set up the AC unit, it would have been fine. I let her know that I did set up the AC and it didn't help. They refused to give me any money back. I know they have a no refund policy, but given the unsafe, unsuitable living circumstances, I do think we should have been refunded - it was not OUR choice to leave, it was there lack of safe living situation - my baby would have ended up in the hospital. Of note as well, there were no screens on the window and the window in the bedroom didn't even open (as noted by a sign on the window). I am very disappointed with the managements handling of this circumstance and would not trust them to stay at this place. Plus, if it's hot, it is totally unlivable. Would recommend finding another place!

Lovely well-equipped cottage in a beautiful location
My wife and I stayed for a weekend. We brought road bicycles and did some riding in the area, although we didn't ride the road between the cottage and Healdsburg, as although picturesque, it is quite narrow. The cottage was clean and comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. The location is beautiful with redwood trees and a short walk to the river. Monique and John were very helpful and responsive.

Perfect weekend getaway!
Stayed here with my best friend whom I see only once or twice a year. This cottage was the perfect size and in a great location; a little far from the plaza but we never had problems parking. Everything was very clean and welcoming and John and Monique accommodated our request to check in early without hesitation. So nice to stay in a home rather than a hotel. Healdsburg is a perfect weekend getaway!

Great little cottage
This is a cute little cottage for a romantic getaway. It's very clean, and a nice blend between rustic and modernism. The small backyard features a BBQ, herbs and an outdoor shower. Needless to say we took advantage of it all. The river itself is a short 5 minutes walk and although it was only mid-April, the weather was so hot that we took a dip and enjoyed the tranquility of the area. For dinner and brunch we went to nearby Healdsburg and wineries. We loved it. It was exactly what we needed to relax from our SF daily city life.

Great couple getaway
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Healdsburg River Cottage. It was a nice getaway weekend for us (while our children stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's). The cottage was the perfect size for the two of us. Nicely updated and very cozy. We did minimal cooking, but the kitchen seemed well stocked. Nice spacious laundry room for a small-sized cottage. We enjoyed a walk to the river and a beautiful bike ride during our stay. It was a bit of a climb on the bike to get to and from the cottage (up and down a hill) but we managed fine. A short distance from town. It took us some time to get used to the air mattress on the bed (each side of the bed can be adjusted to the firmness desired). We had one episode of a clogged toilet (on septic), but the owner was quick to respond and was very helpful. Just might consider a larger plunger (the small one in the cottage was hard to use).
