About this property

Healdsburg: Wine Country Retreat-Serenity, Swimming and Solitude

This lovely Windsor Foothills Property is 6 miles southeast of Healdsburg’s famed Plaza and sits on 3+ acres with the serenity of the Foothills Regional Park behind you and a private lake in front of you. Mere minutes from the Chalk Hill appellation wineries, and a short drive to the famed Dry Creek Valley, this property is the perfect private getaway and nothing short of fabulous.

This home is a 2500 sq. ft. two-story custom home with central heat/AC, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and convertible queen sofa. This estate features a small vegetable and mature rose garden with small orchard on the west side of the property, and an in ground saltwater pool with corner hot tub surrounded by a spacious stone deck connected to a manicured yard on the east side. The outdoor space is perfect for entertaining with ample outdoor loungers, two large outdoor dining tables with seating for 8-10, a bocce court, and a gas BBQ.
The large main level of the house is a mix of radiant heated tile and oak flooring. The dining room seats 8-10 and is set in the west facing corner of the house, perfect for viewing the vibrant sunsets over the lake. The main level also features a large fully stocked kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a gas stove. There is a large living room with a fireplace, a TV room with pullout queen sofa and a wood stove, as well as a small windowed nook off the kitchen with two small sofas. Sliding glass doors lead you from the living rooms to the backyard and pool, or to a deck and the gardens.
The upstairs level features 3 bedrooms. The expansive private master suite with a king bed and full bath sits at the rear of the house. The 2 other bedrooms share a full bath in the front of the upstairs. One bedroom features a queen sized bed, while the other has a full bed. All three bedrooms have lovely views of the lake and rolling hills, or the backyard gardens and the pool.

Grant's and Friends

We loved our stay in Windsor, lovely town. Our house had everything we needed and our host Sarah was very nice to talk to. She got back with us right away when we had questions. We enjoyed the hot tub after spending the day at the wineries. Beautiful salt water pool and hot tub.

Girls get away

We went to California to have a girls get away to celebrate my 35th birthday and we absolutely were blown away by the beauty of the property. Sarah the host was so helpful and all of the ladies (7 of us) had an incredible time. The pool is beautiful and the wineries we visited near by were spectacular. Definitely recommend staying here and we would love to come back! ❤️

Amazing Stay!

Our stay for a weekend getaway with friends was INCREDIBLE! Sarah was extremely helpful, very responsive, sent us amazing recommendations for local restaurants and wineries, and the home was perfect! It was the best getaway for a serene weekend. The pool & hot tub were a perfect addition to the property, and the deer grazing in the morning were priceless! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Great Long Weekend!

We had a great stay! The house was clean and roomy for our adult family of 5. The propery grounds are lovely and we enjoyed sitting outside and taking in the views. The location is perfect...close to the Dry Creek wineries that we were visiting over the weekend.

Great wine get away

We had an amazing time at Sarah’s place! The location was perfect, a quick ride to town but in the heart of nature. The pool and hot tub were the perfect place to spend the break in the day. Pro tip, order your Uber at least 10 minutes before you want it to arrive! We did that and had no trouble

Aaaaaahhhhh!

So lovely! It’s a beautiful house in a beautiful location. We lazed by the pool (which I will admit IS pretty cold!) and watched the deer watch us. We played some bocce ball & enjoyed our dinner at the outside table. Indoors, there is plenty of room to relax & chat, play some games & cook together. Beds were super comfy. If I have any complaint, I wish I could move the motion light by the bedroom window. I think the deer were having a disco party! Thank you Sarah for a wonderful stay!

A little piece of heaven in Northern CA

From start to finish, this house was absolutely incredible. From the huge front lawn, long driveway, pool/hot tub and garden - this house is absolutely stunning. Sarah was great and we had connected several times before the trip took place and she was quick to respond to any questions I had during the trip. If you're coming to town to check out what Northern CA has to offer, I would highly recommend spending at least one day at home - it's the perfect setup!

Beautiful setting

4 of us stayed at this property for 4 days at the end of April 2023. This house is in a beautiful location. Very private yet only 5-10 minutes to Healdsburg and another 5 minutes to the Vinyards, so very convenient. The house was very clean and was as shown in the pictures and description. The owner was very easy to communicate with. We had a small problem while there and Sarah had someone there to fix it within an hour. We really appreciated the response.!! Great views from the house. Late evening there were wild turkeys "gobbling" around the hillside so very rural. The only issue we had was that the internet was very spotty. Otherwise, we highly recommend Sarah's place and would plan on staying again when we are back in Sonoma.

Perfect wine tasting HQ

6 college friends and I had a great wine tasting weekend here! Beautiful home but we spent most our time in the backyard enjoying the pool, BBQ, and Boccee court. The location is perfect for a central point to explore Healdsburg’s wineries like chalk hill. 10/10 would stay again.

Hard to leave

We had a wonderful time at this property. The home is spacious with even more living space outside. The gardens were beautiful, attracting hummingbirds, quails, and woodpeckers. Although it felt like a remote location, we were still close to shopping and many of the best wineries Sonoma has to offer.

Awesome stay!

This was a perfect getaway spot! The house is perfectly stocked with all the essentials to enjoy the location and amenities. Everything you'd ever need (even for a combo work/time off plan) is in place here. The setting is beautiful, the bedrooms are fantastic (including exceptionally good linens and mattresses), the living areas are well conceived and lovely to enjoy, the kitchen is a true working kitchen, the outdoors areas are charming, internet access totally handles what it should, the pool area leaves nothing to be desired (other than an outdoor bathroom...but who has that?!), the owners were very responsive to any questions we had. I'll definitely be booking this property again!

Great location for wine country vacation

We had four adults visiting wine country and were very comfortable during our week there at this house. Location was perfect for vineyards around Healdsburg but also easy to get to the coast. Jack the neighborly cat and the quails kept us company.

Perfect wine country retreat!

This house was perfect for our weekend getaway. Very comfortable for 6 adults. Lots of room to spread out.. we spent lots of time in the backyard. With a bocce court, jacuzzi, pool and bbq - what more could anyone need? The home is spacious with a big enough dining table and living room to hold all 6 of us, as well as two smaller “reading/tv nooks” for anyone who wanted some quiet time. The property is beautiful (not your average track home neighborhood) and conveniently located. I would stay here again!

Windsor House

We thoroughly enjoyed this house and the location is excellent. The kitchen is large and well stocked with all you need to cook a meal. The bedrooms had comfortable beds and 3 bathrooms is a plus. The backyard is peaceful and a nice place to relax. A regional park is very close for hikes and the location is perfect for wine tastings. We hope to come back one day. Sarah is very easy to communicate with.

Great place!

Great place! Thank you so much to the gracious owners Laurie and Steve for delivering a fantastic trip. Their place was spotless, their attention to detail fantastic, and whenever any little thing came up they were right on top of it. I am so impressed with the way they treat their guests. I am reluctant to be so gushing because it will be harder to rent from them in the future, but they deserve everything I have said and more.
