Wooded Restful Retreat, with broad scenic views, outdoor dining

This is a perfect spot for up to four adults who seek a restorative, restful experience of being pampered by nature, night skies, and a chance to be away in a wonderful small town known for wine, food, art, and outdoor life. Our home is designed for low-environmental impact. It is solar-supported, with new double-pane windows, energy-efficient air conditioning, heat, and appliances, screened windows allow in cooling evening breezes.
No matter the season, our home is easy to be outside or in. Two decks, one facing the woods across the narrow lane and shaded by a large oak, and the other on the two-story-high southeast side looking to the hills and high meadows across the Russian river. Osprey, egrets, herons and other fishing birds can be seen on their patrols up and down the river.
We are a 5-minute drive or 10-minute bike ride (BYOB), or take a leisurely 20-30 minute walk through the neighborhoods to the Healdsburg Plaza, perfect for wine tasting and enjoying world-class restaurants. In summer we have two Farmers Markets for local produce and products--Saturday 9-noon and Tuesday in the Plaza, 9-noon. There are local bookstores, bakeries, coffee houses, art galleries and retail shops for jewelry, fine clothing and kitchen wares.
Bright and clean open-plan, single-story home with all new furnishings: two queen bedrooms, (east and west) each with a tv. East bedroom has a slider to the deck. Two full baths each with walk-in showers. Washer/Dryer is off the kitchen.
Relax in the living room and watch a movie or curl up with a book, sit on the stools at the counter and talk to the cook in the fully-equipped kitchen. Dining table seats 4 and has much of the 180-degree view! Living room has wall of windows with wide slider to the deck, a small gas grill, and places to sit, or stand and watch the fabulous scenery. High chairs for dining at the plank table with a string of festive lights overhead.
It's a very quiet neighborhood, excellent for resting and relaxing. People are friendly, but privacy is respected and the deep nature, the dark nights, and the serenity are the draws of staying on the mountain. We are among the houses along a narrow windy lane (far less grand than "Avenue" might suggest!); each home set a bit differently--most have been treasured for generations by families who came to Fitch Mountain for respites from city life. Step out the door along the lane and set off for beautiful walks, go explore the little trails and lanes that surround you in redwoods, century-old vacation cottages, wild flowers, mother and baby fawns and California oaks, bay, madrone, buckeye, and redwood. Birdlife abounds.

A perfect getaway

The house is lovely, very comfortable and quiet. The view is terrific and adds to the cozy ambiance. The kitchen is very well outfitted, which was great because we cooked. Cynthia is extremely responsive and even came by with an item that we'd forgotten. Highly recommended.

Fabulous Find

We loved our stay in Healdsburg and this home is spectacular. It's incredibly well appointed, very clean, quiet, just perfect in every way for a memorable vacation. Very close to Russian River (where you can swim) and to several wonderful hikes, including up the mountain where the house is located. We stayed 9 days and would have liked to stay 9 more- we will definitely stay here again soon!

Great weekend in Healdsburg!

My sister and I went with our husbands to enjoy a weekend in wine country. This house was fantastic-the location was private and very comfortable for two couples. We enjoyed sitting on the deck with the views. The kitchen was very spacious and had everything we needed. The host was amazing and even left us a delicious bottle of rose. We would definitely come back here next time.
