Perfect location, lots of space
This house is in a perfect location, on the river, close to the adorable town of Healdsburg and with easy access to many other Wine Country towns. The pool and river right outside, with all the bird song and activity, were beautiful and enjoyable. Mornings were amazing, peaceful, the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee (or tea) and read, plan the day, just sit quietly and relax. My husband said it was the most relaxing vacation he has had in a while.
The house was spacious, with lots of room for a family to spread out, have their own spaces when needed, and to gather for meals, games, etc. The wifi was strong...two of our family had to work and do online classes while we were there and both were able to access the internet at the same time with no hiccups. The home, linens, etc., were clean and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed with cookware, dinnerware, etc. Throughout the property, the owner paid attention to details like having citronella candles outside to help against bugs, a cabinet of games and dvd's, and little notes to help you know where things are and how to use them.
Carina was friendly, accessible, quick to reply to questions, and a wealth of knowledge about what to do in the area. Her recommendations for the farmer's market, live music on the plaza, a bakery, places to eat when we didn't want to cook, etc were spot on and we enjoyed Healdsburg life for a week. The people of Healdsburg were friendly and helpful.
The only downsides were, first, no air conditioning, which might be ok most of the year, but we happened to be there during a heatwave and even cooling in the pool, using fans and opening windows at night didn't bring relief until about 1 a.m. The other downside is that the lower level is only accessible from an outdoor staircase. On the one hand, it would be great if you had multiple families or couples who wanted their own space, but it felt a little disconnected for one family traveling together. If traveling with little ones, you would probably want one adult to stay downstairs since there is direct pool and river access from those rooms. This information is in the description and another review, so I take full responsibility for not realizing these two downsides before I booked.
With that said, I recommend this house and this hostess.
