Quirky place

This place worked out ok but I wouldn’t book it again if coming back to Healdsburg. If it’s your first time to this area I would stay closer to town. I will say the area is peaceful with little traffic. I enjoyed drinking my morning coffee outside savoring the peace and quiet with the hummingbirds and squirrels. Pros: feels secluded, private courtyard with outdoor seating. Good breeze since it’s on the side of a hill. There’s a beautiful large redwood off the deck. Cons: There’s a lack of seating for 4 adults in the living room and what’s there needs replacing. I only found 1 frying pan and it’s small. Parking is across a small street so you have to go a little further with your suitcases. Overall, it just was not a comfortable place to stay for the nightly rate.

Nostalgic getaway

Within a Stones throw of my grandmas cabin where I spent my childhood summers, this place was ideal. Reached out to the owner about a minor issue upon arrival, and the response was immediate. It was great that she grew up in that house also, so we reminisced about the old neighborhood. The River was wonderful and within walking distance. Such a lovely relaxing time.

Beautiful setting

The location was very convenient. Feels like out in the mountains, but only 1 mile from town. A few items needs attention: Broken/no towel rack in the bathroom; no dishrags in the kitchen to wipe counter, table or dishes with; very limited personal linens available. We had to use a washcloth and bathroom hand towel for kitchen use. Fortunately, there were only four of us, so had an extra set of towels to use for the kitchen. Messaged owner asking for kitchen linens. She said she’d drop some off, but never did. Some of the light switches didn’t seem to work, or weren’t found. Other than that, the home was comfy, definitely rustic.

Great place for family with dogs

Great little cottage with everything we could need. Nice separation for multiple families if needed, and close to the river as well as not far from downtown Healdsburg. Great little getaway for our family and pups!

Old craftsman cottage

The good: Cute craftsman cottage and nice enclosed outdoor area that was really dog friendly! Quiet neighborhood. Towels were clean and fireplace kept us warm. What could be improved: We ran out of paper towels and wished they stocked more in the pantry. No hand soap in the kitchen or body soap in the showers. We requested early check in on Thursday morning and owner didn’t respond to our message until the evening before our check out date with a generic message as if they didn’t know we were already staying at their property.

My friends and I loved staying here. It's a charming house with a lovely outdoor space and access to a great spot on the river. It feels quiet and remote, but town is so close that we were able to have a lovely night out. We would definitely stay here again.

Fitch Mountain Cabin

We were glad to stay at Maria’s cabin on Fitch! We are very familiar with the mountain so we really appreciated the great parking spaces that come with the cabin. If your party includes anyone with mobility issues, make sure you are aware of bedroom-bathroom layouts and big step in for one of the showers.

A weekend on Fitch Mountain

We arrived in the late afternoon and enjoyed a relaxing stroll to the river. Where the swallows were busy dipping and diving for food. After returning to the wonderful home, we nestled down outside with a cool beverage and soaked in the canopy of green beauty. A lovely peaceful weekend. Comfortable beds, nice hot showered and plenty of towels!! It felt like home! Thank you for our experience in your Fitch mountain retreat!! We loved our stay! Everything was perfect. Great Wi-Fi too!!

Wine country visit

Rustic in the woods environment but extremely convenient to the beautiful town of Healdsburg and Sonoma County wine country. Both just minutes away. Clean and comfortable inside area with wonderful spacious outdoor areas. Other houses close by but very private with fenced property. 3 bedrooms but one very small with small step in shower. Main bedroom very adequate with nice sized bathroom. This main bathroom has a nice modern shower head but an old fashioned claw tub with high sides that make it difficult to get in and out. Major concern for anyone with mobility issues. The third bedroom is adequate size but has no bathroom. It also has a nice sized kitchen area with large table. There were 4 people in our party all over 70. Great property for party of 4 with no mobility.issues. Keep in mind that it is very rustic. Do not expect a modern updated property. We would stay there again!

Cozy mountain cottage

We enjoyed our stay in this quiet, comfortable cottage. The beds were comfortable and the gas fireplace was a bonus on the chilly nights. Be sure to read the previous comments carefully, as there are comments indicating certain items that are not included, that should be. These include washcloths and dishwasher detergent for starters. We did not contact the owner about these items since we were only there 2 nights. Overall a nice stay.

Adequate

Nice location in the redwoods, convenient to town. Nice outdoor seating area. The beds were comfortable. We were disappointed in the kitchen. There was a Keurig coffee pot but no pods provided. No information had been given that you needed to bring your own. There was a coffee pour over with an electric kettle. Access to the river was not available based on the directions of the owner. There was information given on access to the river via some stairs off the road. However there is new construction in the area where the stairs should have been.
