Lily Pad Ranch

We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday at Lily Pad Ranch and we couldn't have asked for a more idyllic spot. Just 5 minutes from Healdsburg, the property feels like a secluded oasis with mountain views, beautiful woods and no other houses to be seen. There were so many wonderful places to gather outside, from the gorgeous back patio (with built-in koi fish pond!) to the floating gazebo down at the lake. The uplights in the trees made the setting feel especially magical at night, sitting out by the fire pit. We loved playing in the huge heated pool while others luxuriated on the plush lounge chairs. The kitchen was well stocked for a large group, including a large built-in ice maker and high-end cappuccino machine, and it was beautiful dining outside under the arbor. Both houses were incredibly comfortable, stylish and spacious. Lily Pad Ranch is a stunning property that we found incredibly hard to leave!

 "Our party of 3 couples stayed at Lily Pad Ranch in July, and enjoyed a secluded retreat that feels remote but is in fact just less than 5 minutes from downtown Healdsburg. We made full use of the three kitchens -- two inside and one out -- to cook big meals from the great local markets. We lounged by the beautiful pool, and barely made time to visit the many neighboring wineries because we didn’t want to leave the property! With many comfortable beds in the main- and guesthouse and plenty of space to spread out, this is the perfect place for family gatherings or a weekend getaway with friends. 5 stars for Lily Pad Ranch, we surely will be back!"

 "Our family of 6 had a fantastic time at this property! It was so tranquil and peaceful set high up on a hillside,  no neighbors in sight - yet it was a quick 5 minute drive to beautiful downtown Healdsburg with delicious restaurants and shopping. The views were spectacular and we loved spending time in the many outdoor seating areas - plus the swimming pool and pool deck rivaled a 5 star hotel. The kitchen was fully stocked, furnishings were new.  All of the beds were extremely comfortable and plush, and each room was decorated very nicely. Another highlight was taking our bikes and riding out the front door onto Westside and West Dry Creek Road through vineyards just a few minutes away!"
