RiverHouse in the Redwoods

Description from the manager

ENJOY...a fabulous vacation with old man river, at the RiverHouse, where the Redwoods meet the Russian River. With direct river access and its own private beach, this very special riverfront home is located just minutes from downtown Healdsburg, yet a world away, nestled on a wooded knoll on North Fitch Mountain, safely above the river.

The RiverHouse is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, newly renovated home, inside and out, accommodating up to 8 guests and is child friendly (small lapdogs will be considered). This lovely cottage also has central heat, a wall-mounted 42" flatscreen Plasma TV with cable, A/C, and hardwood oak flooring. With a wo...od-burning fireplace and skylight, the living room provides a cozy seating area with new sofa (queen LA-Z-BOY sofabed with upgraded air comfort mattress) and 2 comfy loveseats, a wall mounted 42" flat screen TV with cable, a DVD/VHS player, and Wi-Fi internet access.

The kitchen and dining room with a fan/light combo over the table, are bright and airy with a skylight, river views, and a new slider, opening to the patio with stainless steel BBQ, and river deck. Fully equipped for your cooking enjoyment, the kitchen has a gas range/oven, microwave, dishwasher, new pots and pans, dishes, glassware, flatware, blender, toaster, coffeemaker and grinder, pantry essentials, and more. The 3 bedrooms are appointed with queen beds, new luscious linens, pillows and bedding, clock/CD players and end tables with lamps. One of the 2 bathrooms is newly renovated with a tiled shower, and the second has a jetted, soaking tub. An indoor laundry room with washer and dryer, as well as an ironing board and iron are also provided.

This special, redwood fenced property is private and serene, with a new double carport inside the fence, which can also be used as a shaded sitting and/or play area. Abundant outdoor amenities include beautiful landscaping, and a redwood deck with jetted spa under the mature Redwoods, overlooking the river. Follow the beautiful handmade rock stairway down to your own private beach with a 2 person kayak (for seasonal use and for guests with experience). Life vests are provided and river shoes are recommended for comfort and safety, while enjoying the river.Read more

  A great and memorable July 4th weekend

  Left on 07/12/2011 for a stay in July 2011
  
  

  We stayed at the Riverhouse over the July 4th weekend and couldn't have had a better time. The location is great, just a 10 minute drive from the center of Healdsburg but feels very secluded, and the house itself comfortably slept our 8 guests. What really made the weekend though, was the river. We spent every day down on the private beach, using the kayak out on the water and watching the endless groups of people float past us. In the evenings, we moved the party back up the hottub, by the grill. Overall, it was a great weekend - highly recommend the Riverhouse for anyone looking to get away for a weekend or longer, especially given its proximity to the center of town and the rest of wine country.
  
  Tips: bring inner tubes and other things you want to use in the river (balls, rafts, etc); make sure to obtain the code for the padlock on the kayak from the owners; bring food to grill; it can be a little tough to find the first time but google maps will get you there; the phone signal at the house is adequate but a little weak, so bring a charger as your battery drains more quickly than usual; the house has wireless which is plenty fast for email and online downloads.
