Summary:

Step onto your private dock and watch the Russian River slide past while oak-covered hillsides frame the view. Two stacked units — each with its own entrance, patio, and bathroom — sleep 4, ideal for two couples or a family. A bocce court, big yard, and canoe wait outside, and downtown Healdsburg's wineries and fine dining are 2.4 miles away.



The Space:

Start your morning on the deck as light filters through the willows along the Russian River. Spend afternoons paddling from your private dock, or head out to taste at Aperture Cellars and Stuhlmuller. Come evening, light the grill on the patio and pour a bottle from one of the Healdsburg Plaza shops — downtown's tasting rooms and restaurants are 2.4 miles up the road.



Step into the upper unit where vaulted ceilings open over a sunlit living room, mid-century furnishings, and sliding glass doors that pull the forested river view inside. The layout flows easily between the lounge, dining table, and kitchen — and a telescope by the slider is ready for stargazing once Sonoma County skies darken.



Cook at the quartz island with everything you need close at hand, then pull up a stool for casual meals at the bar. Open shelving keeps wine glasses within reach for that bottle you grabbed in town.



Slide downstairs to a fully self-contained lower unit with its own kitchenette, bathroom, and washer/dryer — the layout works for two couples who want their own coffee maker but want to share the dock and yard out front.



Wake in the king bedroom under a whisper-quiet ceiling fan, with crisp linens and a built-in desk if remote work follows you here. The lower queen has its own bathroom and entry for added privacy.



OUTDOOR LIVING

Covered decks with wood-slat privacy screens stretch toward the river on both levels, framed by mountain and water views. Pull up an Adirondack chair in the yard, roll the bocce ball court for a pre-dinner match, or carry the canoe down to the private dock for a slow paddle. A gas grill makes riverside dinners easy.

Guest Access:

Step into modern architecture wrapped in wood-slat screens and covered outdoor living, mid-century inside, with a black hex-tile bathroom that anchors the look. The whole home is yours, with a BBQ, outdoor dining, an enclosed yard, and mountain and river views. Your check-in details land before your stay; pull into the driveway, with on-street as overflow.



The Neighborhood:

You're on the Russian River just minutes from downtown Healdsburg — one of Sonoma County's most celebrated food and wine destinations. The Healdsburg Plaza anchors the town with walkable tasting rooms, boutiques, and galleries. For dining, Valette (2.3 mi) offers refined, Sonoma-sourced cuisine. Bravas Bar de Tapas (2.4 mi) serves Spanish small plates on a lively patio. Journeyman Meat Co. (2.4 mi) is the spot for outstanding charcuterie and sandwiches. SingleThread (2.4 mi) is a three-Michelin-starred destination for a special-occasion meal. For wine, Stuhlmuller Vineyards (1.9 mi) and Sapphire Hill Winery (2.1 mi) offer intimate tastings nearby. Del Rio Woods Regional Park (0.1 mi) is steps from the property for a quick walk, and Healdsburg Veterans Memorial Beach (2.1 mi) provides river swimming in summer. Shelton's Natural Foods Market (2.3 mi) is the nearest full-service grocery.



Getting Around:

Healdsburg is about 75 minutes from San Francisco via US-101 North — a straight, scenic drive into the heart of Sonoma wine country. Parking for up to 3 vehicles in the driveway and on the street. A car is the easiest way to take in the three valleys that meet here — Dry Creek, Alexander, and Russian River. For tasting days, plan a designated driver or book a rideshare ahead — it makes the whole day easier.
