Cozy house in a great location. 10-15 minutes drive from downtown Healdsburg. The space is homey, well-stocked, and very comfortable. We had a great time with the kayaks, hot tub, spacious living space, and beautiful deck. The neighborhood is sweet; neighbors were nice and welcoming. Communication with the host was easy and quick. We did a Wine and Food Pairing Walking Tour in Healdsburg, which was awesome. Highly recommended rental, town, and tour!

Great home in a beautiful location right on the river. One thing to note is that the pull out couch is in the primary bedroom, and there’s only one full bath, located in the hall (plus one half bath). It was fine for us but may be more difficult depending on your group size/dynamic.
"Airbnb Review #876137260563024471 #196473"
Even more beautiful than the pictures! Lovely house, beautiful views of the Russian River. Lots of space inside and on the deck for relaxing. Very peaceful setting. Big windows to enjoy the views inside.

Thank you Samantha, we look forward to hosting you again soon!
"Airbnb Review #861004429170692874 #193676"
I loved waking up to our own slice of nature in this beautiful home. The massive windows in the master bedroom, living room, and kitchen! WC Lodging was very responsive with questions and details leading up to our trip and we plan on staying here again in the future!
"Airbnb Review #845757153599687274 #191423"
We had a lovely stay.
"Airbnb Review #831247887747296469 #189522"
The trip started off rocky as we asked to reschedule due to a family relative passing away about 5 days prior to our trip. We asked to move our dates to May or October but unfortunately they held to the strict cancellation policy and would only accommodate the request by charging two thousand more (was already two thousand for 3 days) - we just couldn’t afford that. All that being said, we cobbled together part of our group and still had an enjoyable weekend. The river is beautiful off the deck and hot tub. We were able to use the kayaks (steep steps and entry!), and the house is very nicely appointed. It’s 10 minutes to Healdsburg - great town - and off to the surrounding wineries (check for reservations these days!). Would come back to the area - thank you.

Awesome location for downtown healdsburg, beautiful setting, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay!
"Airbnb Review #734130604215359333 #173415"
Great place, very private, nice outdoor area to hang out in.
"Airbnb Review #718905853800852438 #170647"
What a wonderful place! Right on the river with access. My friends and I brought our own SUPs and went out on the river one morning. It was delightful. A pleasant surprise was seeing the stars and moon from the bed in the master bedroom through the large windows. I would stay here again!
"Airbnb Review #694982937703102539 #166185"
My friends and I enjoyed our stay in WC Lodging. Perfect location and accommodating host.
"Airbnb Review #693544208659113158 #165964"
Overall the house is very comfortable and accommodating. We had 3 couples (6 people) and we felt like there was plenty of space. Our only feedback are the kitchen items (pots and pans) seemed a little lacking. There were 10 pots to choose from, but no good pan to cook bacon in. A small thing but just something we noticed!
"Airbnb Review #658095938610798540 #158075"
The location of this air bnb can’t be rivaled! The entire place was so comfortable and our entire group loved the outdoor area and hot tub. There is not AC but it did still stay pretty cool indoors/at night!
"Airbnb Review #632698184445299089 #154776"
We enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
"Airbnb Review #622560027880406721 #151651"
We had a great stay and thoroughly enjoyed the quiet, peaceful river view! The house was cozy and clean and a great set-up for families, especially teens who can explore on their own. It’s good for smaller kids, too (requires outdoor supervision). There’s plenty of deck space, nice grill and lots of kitchenware.
"Airbnb Review #617498498854326579 #150719"
Wonderful property, as advertised. Simple check in/check out, and prompt with responses.
"Airbnb Review #602237638981681490 #148360"
Beautiful location! everything you'll need (no washer/dryer though).
"Airbnb Review #597142107922914144 #146984"
The deck, jacuzzi, and creek view make for a lovely, relaxing stay! Location is about 10-15 minutes away from downtown Healdsburg. Area is quiet and peaceful. If you have small kids, bring your own life vests if you want to go explore the creek. Master bedroom was big, had nice linens, and wall to ceiling windows with a nice view of the creek … but no curtains if you have kids or a baby who can’t sleep with sunlight. Back bedrooms are dark. House had a pack n play and a high chair which were an unexpected but very helpful discovery. All in all, we had a very nice stay!
"Airbnb Review #592054984043839764 #146985"
This place was just as advertised and we couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The host was communicative, the neighbors were friendly, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the home was beautiful! We even saw a bald eagle while sitting out on the balcony. I highly recommend this place for anyone interested in visiting Healdsburg.
"Airbnb Review #587042706505196958 #145535"
The four of us had a great stay this past weekend. The hot tub on the deck, under the stars, was amazing. Highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet getaway in Sonoma.
"Airbnb Review #567501522160955221 #142604"
We really loved our stay at your Airbnb! The location is great and you are 10 minutes from town center. The rooms were comfy, the kitchen was well stocked and clean, bathroom was great, and the view of the river is stunning. The only concern is the hot tub gave 3 out of 4 of the guests a horrible, all body rash - Hopefully, the hot tub will be completely cleaned out for the next guests!
"Airbnb Review #505154881835181582 #133920"
We stayed over thanksgiving with our family. Healdsburg is great, the location of the house is unique. But…. Beer cans all over the back yard, dishwasher was disgusting and covered in mildew and when we ran it didn’t clean anything and sprayed the soap all over the top dishes without rinsing. Oven digital touchpad is damaged was difficult to get oven on (not great when trying to cook thanksgiving dinner), hot tub full of sand. Quality of kitchen pots/pans/utensils is a mishmash of old and damaged items (the blender was newer and in good condition but that’s about it). One bathroom with a shower has no fan. Path down to the river isn’t maintained. Think this is a fine spot for adults looking to do adult things in the area but for a family over thanksgiving it wasn’t the right choice.
"Airbnb Review #490658110090923271 #133092"
Great place for wine tastings, wonderful kitchen and deck setup - everything was great except that it really doesn’t have two bathrooms - it’s a 1.5, which isn’t good for larger groups or couples.
"Airbnb Review #426803828661767483 #122910"
We booked this home last minute, as our place in Tahoe had toxic air quality due to the fires. The home is darling, very sunny and inviting. The Roku was great for us to use our own Hulu and Netflix accounts, to watch movies. The access to the river was very convenient, the kids hiked down to the river with their paddle boards and paddle to the nearby swimming holes. The hot tub had sand in it from the previous visitors, but other than that the place was very clean. We would definitely return again.
"Airbnb Review #432597543452599631 #123992"
Great place on the river. Hot tub was perfect, lovely views and very comfortable! Close to downtown.
"This place was a gem !"
This place was a gem ! Right next to the river and close to the town. Very clean, tastefully decorated, beautiful views. Clean comfortable beds. Nice hot tub and outdoor area. Will absolutely go again. Great for 8 people of any combination !
"Perfect Wine Country Stay"
The location is perfect because you’re a short 10 mins from downtown but far enough away that you feel you’re in the woods. Next to the Russian river which is breathtaking. The house itself is perfect for our family of 5. 3 bedrooms with one room being a king and the others a queen. Then 1.5 baths. The layout worked for us! They had all the kitchen supplies you needed! Thanks we’d love to stay again!
"Stunning"
This is a stunning house. Floor to ceiling windows on the Russian River. Every amenity you could wish for. Just beautiful. It was way more affordable that three separate hotel rooms. Perfect place to hang out with family after a long day wine tasting!!
"Excellent place to stay"
Home was in an excellent location. Unfortunately the weather on our trip was less than ideal so we were unable to use all the amenities. Would recommend.
"Very nice place"
The house is very nice with a large deck overlooking the Russian River. Nice open kitchen/living/dining area with large windows allowing you to enjoy the view from all three areas. Very quiet; good parking. A 12-15 minute winding drive to the heart of Healdsburg. Very clean.
"Relaxing!"
Great open and relaxing place along the river. Very clean. Great deck over looking the river while we cooked out on the grill. Nice and quiet neighborhood. Very easy and quick communications with the owners. Great value.
"Great View"
Loved the home, especially the deck and the view. The linens were very nice and everyone was happy with the comfort of the beds. We were not able to have food delivered to the house because of the distance from town, which is no one's fault, just worth knowing so you can plan ahead. Next time we'll just pick up on our way home.
"Open and clean"
You really can't beat an open and clean house right on the river! The house is a short drive to downtown Healdsburg and is nice and secluded. Big bright windows all over give you a great view of the river, which is just a short walk away. This home has everything you need for a relaxing weekend on the Russian River. Would absolutely return.
Great to stay here, enjoy the deck & jump into the river off the jetty
