Since 2008, over 250 five-star guest reviews confirm Dry Creek Villa to be a truly exceptional, idyllic retreat. Dry Creek Villa consistently rates 5/5 stars from prior guests. Among the various comparable options in the Healdsburg area, Dry Creek Villa is without comparison: comfortable, private, quiet, sophisticated and relaxing.

Perched on a 40-acre hilltop right among the grapes at Lavender Hill Vineyards and about a mile up a paved private road and behind automatic gates, this secluded home comfortably sleeps 4 - up to 6 people max - and is the perfect retreat in wine country. It's just 12 minutes to the downtown Healdsburg plaza and is very close to many award-winning wineries. Lake Sonoma is also 10 minutes up the valley. The iconic Dry Creek General Store is a short drive away.

The Villa's two stylish bedrooms are both furnished with contemporary queen-size platform beds, ultra-comfy premium mattress and quality linens for a restful night's sleep. There's room-darkening window coverings to enjoy a lazy morning in bed. Reading lamps let you snuggle up with a book or magazine.

The spacious bathroom with vessel sink and over-sized shower with room for two is not connected to either bedroom, making it convenient for all guests. Fluffy towels make you feel right at home.

The full electric kitchen with granite counters comes complete with all the accessories to prepare light snacks or a complete gourmet feast, while a dishwasher helps make cleanup a breeze. Outdoors, there's a gas BBQ to grill your favorite foods.

The vaulted, airy main room with its bamboo flooring has a rectangular dining table that seats up to six. There's also a pull-out queen sofabed that converts to an additional sleeping platform. For entertainment, there's an AV receiver, SONOS, iPod connection, Apple TV, a 42" flat screen TV with a DVD/VCR player and Dish satellite with 120+ channels for your viewing enjoyment. Through Apple TV, you may connect your own streaming accounts (Netflix, Prime Video, etc.). Board games, puzzles and reading materials round out the relaxation options. If business calls, there is a built-in desk for use with your laptop to connect to the available Wi-Fi network throughout the villa.

After a long day of adventures, soak yourself in the secluded, six-person Sundance Spa while viewing the deep starry sky and then rinse off under the private outdoor hot-water shower. By prior arrangements requested during your stay, you may also be able to take a dip in the 48 ft. solar-heated lap swimming pool at the owner's house nearby (from approximately May until October).

Dry Creek Villa is also dog-friendly.

Beautiful views
Near the vineyards on Dry creek road. We went to Sbragia and David Caffaro. The Dry Creek General store at the bottom of the mountain was great for sandwiches and salads. Beds were comfortable and place was clean. The weather was not good this past weekend so we couldn’t sit outdoors but there is a beautiful outdoor seating arrangement for gorgeous views of the mountains and vegetation. The grape vines were just starting to leaf out. Thanks for a great stay without pet golden doodle.

A lovely spot—met all needs
Good value for money—-5 stars for location. The “Villa” appurtenances could use a little freshening up (kitchen, bathroom) and a slightly better cleaning standard. But overall, a pleasure to stay here. And: an honor to enjoy such a glorious setting.

Beautiful View
The best thing is the view-truly spectacular. As stated in the description, and other reviews, there is a long winding drive up the hill on a very narrow road. You do have to drive 5mph to stay safe. The bedrooms are small but adequate. The bathroom is nice. The unit was clean. My main critique is that the place is "tired." The kitchen really needs to be updated. The toaster is old with burnt brown/black crud. Same with the coffee pot. The refrigerator and stove and dishwasher are very old. The cabinets appear to be 25 years old, or so, and the finish is deteriorating. The kitchen is functional but not esthetically appealing. For the price, one would hope for an updated kitchen. Again, the view is fabulous.

Nice secluded retreat in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country
We had a great stay here! They owners were incredibly responsive and flexible. They also stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed when we checked in. The place is amazing - it's a secluded mountain retreat that is both removed from wine country, but also an easy 5 min drive to the heart of wine country and wine tastings. They have amazing views from the patio, where you see and hear only wildlife. There is almost zero light pollution, allowing you to see Milky Way Galaxy with the naked eye from the hottub in the evening. Incredibly quiet stay. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Sonoma Wine Country - especially Dry Creek and Russian River Valley.

Sonoma County Wine Getaway
We flew into SFA and made our way to the property with no problems. The road leading to the property is very dark, steep and windy so I recommend arriving before sunset. The location is perfect if you are visiting the area wineries. Visit The Bar and General Store at the bottom on the hill. The villa is very comfortable with comfy beds. The water takes its time heating up so plan for that. We enjoyed the views and our time on the terrace watching the sunrise/sunset. The kitchen is stocked with everything you'll need. I was happy to find a French press and electric kettle. We would highly recommend!
