Charming VineHaven in Dry Creek Near Plaza

Description from the manager

Newly Renovated Healdsburg VineHaven - 3br/2ba (up to 8 guests, children welcome, small lapdogs considered) w/ Spa, Gardens, & Spectacular Vineyard Views

Very well located at the north end of Healdsburg and the beginning of the famed Dry Creek Valley and vineyards, this newly renovated 50’s charmer is a lovely, beautifully furnished and decorated, 1600 sq. ft., 3 bedroom/2 bath ranch house with central heat and air conditioning, awaiting your arrival. The back redwood deck is surrounded by mature landscaped gardens with seating areas, a new 6 person spa and ‘forever’ views of the... vineyards and foothills beyond for your ‘grape escape’.

A great ‘home base’ for exploring the diversity of Sonoma County’s ‘Tuscany’ of Northern California, travel west into the Dry Creek Valley and enjoy the many world class wineries with Lake Sonoma’s recreation area just beyond. Minutes to the east lies the Alexander Valley wine growing region, a few miles south the western Russian River Valley vineyards, and yet VineHaven is only minutes from historic upscale Healdsburg’s Plaza with abundant fine dining, tasting rooms, art galleries, shops and more.

Enter this special home and you are welcomed by the large living room with beautiful oak floors, plantation shutters covering abundant triple paned windows, crown molding, recessed lighting, a new loveseat and queen size sleeper sofa, coffee table with area rug, and an entertainment center with a 37” Visio HDTV, Comcast cable, DVD player, and whole house WIFI. An open flowing floor plan graces this special home creating a spacious feel with the living room transitioning into the lovely dining area and all new kitchen.

Sure to please the chef, this well equipped culinary creation station features a large island with a new 4-burner gas cook top and built-in microwave, beautiful new underlit oak cabinetry, slate floors, all new appliances including a double oven, dishwasher, side by side refrigerator, and new cookware, dishes, flatware, glassware, and just about everything else you will need, but for your vino and vittles. A large double sink with reverse osmosis water available, sits beneath the plantation shuttered window with a beautiful grape vine themed tile trim.

With a lovely dining set for 8, this area also has beautiful oak flooring, and full glass double French doors leading to the back deck. Another entry door leads to the master bedroom hallway, at the back of the house, where you will find the indoor laundry enclosure and entry doors to the master bedroom, bathroom and another door to the back deck.

The master bedroom is nicely furnished with an oak sleigh queen bed with luscious new linens and bedding, nightstands, lamps, a small chest of drawers, 2 new windows with garden and vineyard views, and double mirrored closets. The bathroom in the master area is private, but can be shared if everyone is in a hurry. From days gone by, a refinished, dark blue, claw foot tub with shower greets you and sits on a gorgeous dark blue and black tiled floor. A new granite topped vanity, and oversized mirror and custom lighting complete this lovely bath.

Off the entry, the front hallway leads to the second and third bedrooms, both with queen beds, ceiling fan/light combos and mirrored closets. The second private bath sits between with a large tiled walk-in shower, pedestal sink, and plantation shuttered window.

Outdoor amenities include the back deck with an outdoor table with chairs for 6, an additional table for 4 set in the garden near the vineyards, a new 6 person Hotspring spa, and beautiful mature landscaping and gardens on this ½ acre of paradise with forever vineyard views and the foothills beyond. For your grilling pleasure a BBQ is provided on the deck and plenty of parking is available in the long driveway and in front of the house.

As referenced, VineHaven is at the beginning of the Dry Creek Valley Wine Trail, and just a few minutes drive west, you are in the middle of the renowned Dry Creek Valley with many award winning wineries including Amista, Dry Creek Vineyards, Dutcher Crossing, Ferrari Carroro, Lambert Bridge, Mauritson, Mounts Family, Preston, Quivera, Rued, Talty, Wilson’s, and Zichini Family, with many more to explore.

Again and very importantly, the beautiful Lake Sonoma Recreation Area with marina & boat ramps is only a few minutes further west for water activities, fishing, or just enjoying the beauty of it all. The Alexander Valley wine growing region is just a few minutes to your east, the west Russian River Valley, about 20 minutes south and west and do not forget about the gorgeous rugged Sonoma County Coastline.

  Convenient Location & Very Comfortable

  Left on 06/21/2012 for a stay in June 2012
  
  

  We just returned from a long weekend trip to Russian River Valley for a wine tasting trip & 50th birthday celebration. I found VineHaven online while looking for a house rental. The property turned out as nice as advertised. While you can certainly find nicer, more luxurious homes to rent in the area, this property is very nicely remodeled and was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is nicely equipped and the bedrooms were all very comfortable. I was a little concerned with the proximity of house to Hwy 101, we did not hear any traffic noise during our stay. The only somewhat negative comment I have is the water from the well can tend to have a little bit of a mineral smell to it. Other than that, we loved the house and would definitely recommend it to others.

  Terrific home base for Healdsburg and Dry Creek Valley vineyards

  Left on 03/27/2011 for a stay in March 2011
  
  

  The home is conveniently located near downtown Healdsburg and the Dry Creek & Alexander Valley wine regions. The home is modern, spacious and comfortable. Amenities include a large kitchen with double ovens, dishwasher, and microwave, washer/dryer, spa, flat screen tv with cable, DVD, iPod connection to the sound system (surround sound) and free wifi. While we brought food with us for our stay, we especially appreciated that the kitchen was stocked with basic items like sugar, spices, flour and ground Peets coffee.
