About this house rental
Summary:
Riverside retreat on the Russian River with private beach, spa, and kayaks. Just minutes from downtown Healdsburg, plus complimentary wine tastings!
The Space:
Retreat to the exquisite Heron House, a riverside haven where the towering Redwoods meet the flowing beauty of the Russian River. This special riverfront home offers direct access to a private beach and is located just minutes from downtown Healdsburg. Tucked away on North Fitch Mountain’s wooded knoll, the setting feels wonderfully secluded—yet never far from Wine Country’s vibrant dining and wine scene.
There’s a rare calm here: morning mist rising off the river, redwoods whispering overhead, and the feeling of being completely immersed in nature while enjoying modern comforts.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
We had a great time with the family for several days over the break. Our 9 year old nephew who has recently gotten into fishing loved it, and we have a great time with puzzles, cards, games, cooking, coming and going.

Wonderful stay at the Heron house very comfortable and accommodating very peaceful which is what we always look for everything you need is here enjoyed our once of year trip to Healdsburg
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Perfect place for 3 couples. Comfortable. Pro kitchen (which we didn’t have the opportunity to use.) enjoyed the hot tub and sweet figs on the trees. Lovely spot right on the river, where we spotted an otter!
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Location is great with deck overlooking river was great. Rustic feel, well equipped. Kayaks were a well enjoyed bonus. Nice to have AC but it was loud so we turned off at night. We stayed 6 adults … but not 3 couples … so sleeping accommodations were a little tight with someone in living room. Communication and check in was easy, departure instructions clear and easy to follow. Plenty of parking. Would definitely stay again when visiting Healdsburg!
