Perfect house for a getaway for two couples
We had a fantastic stay in early December, 2023. The house was clean and just as depicted in the listing, and it really was well stocked with everything you need, including firewood. Kimberly was very responsive and we so much appreciate her sharing her home with us, especially since we had a dog with us. We will rent again from her when we are in the area. No need to hesitate if you are looking for a place to stay near Healdsburg. There is even a country store down the road if you need prepared food, wine, groceries or a gift. Enjoy!

Gorgeous weekend in Healdsburg
Had a lovely weekend in wine country enjoying the fall colors and sunshine with dear friends. First Crush Cottage was perfect for two couples. The kitchen was well appointed for the preparation of simple meals and snacks, and we enjoyed coffee/wine/conversation together on the comfortable couch. We built a fire in the fireplace one evening, and It was warm enough to have brunch outside on the deck. Location is great. It's easy to get to the wineries, Dry Creek Market, and into town. We loved the charming property and will be back! Cheers!

Amazing wine country property
This home was perfect for our trip to Sonoma Wine Country. It was in very close proximity to several great wineries and very close to the town of Healdsburg as well. The backyard was magical with fantastic views and the home itself was well appointed and comfortable. Can’t wait to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly DesJardine

Host profile image
My husband and I purchased the First Crush Cottage as a weekend getaway from our hectic life in San Francisco.

It is the refuge that we go to relax, unwind and exhale. Our girls, who are now grown, spent their childhood exploring the vineyards, canoeing the Russian River and discovering the rich countryside on hikes and bikes.

Over the years, our backyard has been host to a multitude of food and wine feasts with our friends and family. The fond memories are endless and rich.

Twenty years later and we still can't get enough of Healdsburg and our little slice of wine country heaven.

Why they chose this property

In the heart of Dry Creek Valley, the First Crush Cottage sits between miles and miles of beautiful vineyards and picture perfect countryside. You can walk to a half dozen wineries or mosey up the street to the historic Dry Creek General Store, where you'll find the best sandwiches in the county.

The bucolic town of Healdsburg is home to world class wineries, the best of farm to table dining and a host of unique specialty retail and antique stores line its quaint town square.

It is no wonder that Healdsburg continually tops America's Best Small Towns lists.

What makes this property unique


The First Crush Cottage is:

-The best of both worlds. Nestled in majestic wine country vineyards and just five minutes from downtown Healdsburg.
-Beautifully appointed furnishings and meticulously landscaped grounds with hobby vineyard.
-Walking distance to wineries and the Dry Creek General Store.
-Fully equipped to meet all of your culinary needs including outdoor grill and herb garden May-October.

Each rental also includes wine and cheese tasting for four at the renowned Lambert Bridge Winery ($200 value).
