Secluded Vineyard Estate Healdsburg

Mill Creek Estate is an exceptional Vineyard Estate located in the heart of the Sonoma Wine Country near the quaint town of Healdsburg and less than 6 minutes from the historic, upscale, and charming Downtown Plaza. The property consists of a main house and adjacent studio suite situated within an oak covered 15 acre setting. The gated property is nestled in the Sonoma foothills just west of town with views that are truly magnificent. From every direction one will see either intense natural beauty or miles of breathtaking gorgeous scenery. If extreme privacy is what you enjoy this is the place for your wine country vacation experience.
From Mill Creek Road, you will turn up a country lane which winds through an Oak covered forest across the gated 15 acre site to your doorstep. Reminiscent of homes built in early California, this 4 bedroom Estate has lots of exterior and interior stonework providing the perfect marriage of old world country charm and a casual, elegant California lifestyle. The living structures are tucked sensitively into the landscape under a canopy of trees which includes mature 500-year-old oaks. Designed for gracious country living, inside you will find walls of luxurious venetian plaster, vaulted and cathedral ceilings, wood and limestone flooring and abundant windows throughout the house. The views from inside the house are as breathtaking as the views from outside.
Mill Creek Vineyard Estate is the perfect place for family and friends to gather in a relaxing atmosphere of comfort and serenity. Surrounded by spacious terraces, gardens and lawn covered areas, this is the ideal vacation home for those who cherish the outdoors. With most rooms opening onto outside terraces you’re never more than a step away from natural serenity. With 2 covered Arbors and many other sitting areas to choose from, you will find just the right spot to savor a spectacular sunset, read in the afternoon sun or enjoy a candlelight dinner on a warm summer’s evening.
Outdoor amplified music is prohibited by local ordinance at vacation rental properties and also mandates strict outdoor quiet hours between 10:00 pm and 9:00 am.

Beautiful Villa in the Hills outside Healdsburg
Still glowing from a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. The pool and outdoor spaces were the highlights for us. The well-appointed kitchen, built in outdoor grill, and large great room were highlights for our group. Plenty of space both inside and out for our 6 adults and 4 young kids. The location was stunning and private while also being just a short drive to wineries and the town of Healdsburg with so much to offer. The grounds were well cared for on every level and Donald, responded quickly to every request and was great to work with!

Women's Weekend in Healdsburg
I cannot recommend this property and its owners more. We had a wonderful weekend relaxing by the pool, feeling secluded from the world but yet still close to all the greatest wineries and downtown. Don is so response and helpful and we appreciated his assistance getting settled and leading up to the weekend. It is THE best place to stay in the area, hands down!

Great Experience
We stayed at the property for a month and had a great experience. The amenities were excellent. While there's a lot to do in Sonoma and we did take a number of excursions, we also enjoyed hanging at the house - making meals, reading, swimming and watching the Olympic Games.

Beautiful Location
This property is beautiful and the house is huge and comfortably accommodates a large group. For the price, some of the finishes were disappointing (one-ply TP? Really?). It's up in the hills, secluded and private, stunning views, and an easy drive into town.

Spectacular setting for a family gathering
For the second year in a row our large extended family (ages ranging from 15 to 77) spent a week at the end of June at this amazing property on a beautiful Sonoma County mountaintop. Quiet, private, set in the trees high on a hill away from it all. We swam, played bocce ball and croquet, took turns cooking delicious family dinners and enjoyed each other. The property is remarkable for the private spaces that let couples get off on their own, including the studio and the cool Airstream option. The family is unanimous - we'll be coming back again next year.

A Wonderful Family Vacation
My husband and I stayed at Mill Creek Estate for the Christmas holiday with our three children, their spouses and our five very young grandchildren. The house is very spacious and the four bedrooms…each with its own bathroom…worked perfectly for our large group. The outdoor space is beautiful…even in the middle of winter. Because we vacationed in cooler weather…our favorite gathering spot was the large comfortable great room with built in bar and beautiful gas fireplace! In addition, the kitchen is well stocked and the beds are very comfortable. Also the owner, Don, was wonderful to deal with from the time I made our reservation until the time we checked out. It was a holiday we will never forget!

A dreamy girls weekend
Our group of eleven women had a fantastic weekend at this home celebrating a bachelorette. We definitely needed the air mattresses to accommodate that number of adults, but we were all comfortable in the end. The ground are absolutely stunning and it was hard to tear ourselves away from the hot tub and relaxing patio to explore Healdsburg. Don was very responsive and it was helpful to have him nearby. We cooked in for most meals and the kitchen was well stocked. A few things to be aware of if you are visiting this home without a car: make sure you give any deliveries or ride pickups the gate code as cell service can be spotty and there is no gate buzzer. The trash bins are also down the road a ways so plan ahead to transport trash on checkout.

Great house. Clean and comfortable. Could use a few updates
Overall we were very happy with our stay here. The house has great energy and is very spacious. The outside area is amazing. We spent almost all day outside each day. There is plenty of seating, and the kitchen is well stocked. I spent two days at the house with my kids while my husband worked so we thoroughly explored. Some updates that would make this house a 5 star are: Secure exposed nails outside ( my toddler found a few where the speakers are housed) Update screen doors (lots of mosquitoes) fix the door that sticks For the private entry to master bedroom by the driveway, fix bathroom door so it doesn't make a really loud sound Everytime it's open and closed ( very loud in the bedroom next door) , tidy up the loose wires around the TVs and enertaient areas , make sure all the burners on the stove work. These are all basic issues but none that made our stay unenjoyable. We really could have stayed outside in the yard forever and have been happy. Thank you!

Beautiful but Overpriced
The outdoor space is really beautiful but the indoor had a lot to be desired. It clearly used to be a beautiful home but the upkeep is lacking. Don was quick to respond, was communicative, and was great to accommodate early check in. But we had so many issues that 3 of our party left early to stay at a hotel because there was nowhere to sleep. We were a group of 9 adults and 3 kids, and this place accommodates 7-8 comfortably and if you want to fit more in, bring your own stuff. They offer air mattresses but 3 of the 4 had holes in them and we couldn’t use them so people had to squeeze in and sleep on the couch. Don’t expect the use of the airstream in the photos, that’s not included. Also, no two people can shower at the same time because the moment someone turns on another faucet while you’re showering, the water goes ice cold. They charge you a really expensive cleaning fee but have a long list of cleaning rules so we spent a good 2-3 hours making sure we tried to clean it but the pool, coffee machine, microwave were dirty when we arrived and we had to clean them. For the amount we paid a night you expect a really nice experience - not one where you have to buy toilet paper from your first night. I’m not trying to hate on their property because despite this it’s beautiful, but this could’ve been a great stay but it’s way overpriced and we didn’t feel we got our value for money.

So much potential..
We were a group of seven retired adults who met up in Healdsburg for a work reunion. This house fit our needs perfectly - a place with four bedrooms each with their own bathroom. The location is a great - close to town and wineries up high on a hill with amazing views and lots of privacy. One word of caution: the driveway from the gate to the home is pretty steep and windy. The outdoor living space is beautiful. We enjoyed playing bocce ball and sitting around the firepit at night. We did not get into the pool or hot tub mainly because they needed a really good cleaning. Please note also that the hot tub is just that - a tub with hot water, no jets or bubbles. The gas grill was not in great shape and while it worked, we had to manually light the burners and a couple of them kept going out. Also, the outdoor furniture shown in the pictures was not all there, and the cushions were very dirty and even has some mold on them. Inside was definitely a disappointment. The furniture in the pictures is not what is currently in the living room. The kitchen had lots of 'stuff', but it was very unorganized and a lot of the food products in the cabinets had use by dates that expired years ago. The kitchen could definitely use a deep cleaning and someone to come in to organize things. The bathrooms were poorly maintained with broken and/or corroded faucets and shower heads. Towels were provided, but they were beyond threadbare. There was shampoo in each bathroom, however no soap/bodywash was provided which is something we all have come to expect at a VRBO property. Mattresses in the bedrooms could stand to be replaced. Something the owner cannot control but you should aware of none the less is that there is no cell service at the property. The WiFi worked though it was a little slow at times. Our summary is that this could be a truly special property if the owner would invest a little time and money to deep clean inside and out, to upgrade linens and mattresses and to spruce it up a bit. Without that, we would not consider returning nor would we recommend it to others.

Magical
We rented this home for us and our family and friends, as my daughter was getting married in nearby Windsor. A beautiful home in a serene location (us city folks couldn't believe how quiet it was), it was perfect for getting away from the wedding chaos. Check-in was super easy. Wonderful amenities. Kitchen is well-stocked, furniture is comfortable (sofa is an excellent napping location, btw), the backyard perfect for relaxing outdoors. Don, the owner, is very responsive and helpful. We will never forget our stay here.
