About the host

Host profile image
Although I purchased the house in 1997, it has been in my family since 1967. I grew up in Burlingame and we would come to the cottage during the summers. The warm weather, beautiful scenery and the friendly people are the main reasons why all my family have moved to Healdsburg, (in the last 10 years). The natural beauty of Fitch Mountain, the music in the plaza, and the amazing food and wine are reasons why we have stayed. Swimming in the Russian river near home, is an fun place to hang out with your loved ones. We have spent much time on the beach, my children grew up playing there, as I did.
I graduated from UC Berkeley, went on for a teaching credential at St. Mary's College and then got a special education credential at Dominican College, here in California.
Currently I teach Special Education in a neighboring town, and since my sister is going out of town, I am able to stay at her house and dog sit, while others are renting my home.

Why they chose this property

Once you walk through the gate you feel you are miles away from everything. The mountain cottage is close to a beautiful, rocky beach, and hiking trails, while minutes away from downtown Healdsburg, with its excellent dining, shopping and plaza.

What makes this property unique

It's a cottage that has been in our family since 1967. Generations of children have played in its yard. We have wonderful memories of spending summers at the river, dinners on the deck, and picnics at the plaza. There are several wine tasting venues and excellent shopping downtown. The Redwood trees growing in front of the cottage are magnificent.
