We came to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary with friends and LOVED every moment of our stay! FML was such a lovely home. The hot tub was nice after our days out and about. The labels around the home were so helpful-appreciated the gentle reminders We recommend hiking in the Armstrong Woods-such a variety of beauty to behold! Our food choices were spot on: Barndiva, Dry Creek Kitchen, El Milago all just a few minutes from the Lookout.Morning walks on the Russian River was a calm way to start our day or coffee on the deck with all our new hummingbird friends (and the finches 3). We EVEN spotted QUAIL in the lower yard--such a treat.September stay - we couldn’t have asked for nicer weather or better accommodations for our special time away!

Thank you so much for this excellent review. We are so glad that enjoyed all the unique offerings the Lookout offers from the amazing nature theater window to all the birds we attract to the property. We agree that the location really is perfect, removed enough to feel fully immersed in the redwoods and wildlife, but close enough to explore all wine country has to offer just a couple miles away. We hope to host you again!

We had a great stay with our 3.5 yo and dog. Tenay, the property manager was incredibly detailed and helpful---even keeping us updated on a little brush fire on our way up by the freeway. We were lucky to get parking down by the beach, as we started our days early. 10 min away from downtown Healdsburg and Safeway was so convenient. Stephen, the owner, was also so helpful and gave us great "local advice".

We had a wonderful time at FML.. the accommodations were just what we needed for our wine tasting weekend. Taney the property manager was amazing to work with. The only downfall was no main level bathroom, you had to go downstairs to the bathroom. Excellent property, loved the location and the hummingbirds all over the property were so fun to watch!!

Thank you for the great review!! We agree! The views! and views! We now have new hot tub has been a constant hit since we upgraded it! With led lights and waterfall action, it is its own little party! Although, did you know that during spring, at the right time of evening, if you sit in the dark, you can also watch the Milky Way Galaxy Core rise above that mountain ridge horizon you loved to stare at! We have since enhanced the outdoor decks with soft rugs and hummingbird feeders and have more upgrades in the work! We have elevated the bed linens to luxury 600-threat-count extra-long-staple organic cotton sheets, and put new Tfal cookware and upgraded the coffee-maker in the kitchen. Of course we also refreshed the interiors with bright and modern paint schemes! We have more amazing updates in the works, so we would love to host you again, with a returning guest discount!

The 'C' Crew! It was such a pleasure helping ensure that you all were fully prepared to take advantage of our lovely little mountain and its delightful beaches. We were glad that the new beach amenities (extra-large beach towels, sunshade pop-ups, etc.) added some extra delight! We are so glad that you and the kids enjoyed your time at the river and house. We are excited that our provided Hummingbird Happy Hour kit provided some extra delight, and I am honestly jealous that you saw a blue jay riding on a baby fawn's back right from the living room window! That is a first even for me! We hope to host you again (and as a returning guest, you will get a discount)!

This home has beautiful forested hill views and is light filled, in an area that feels quiet and almost rural, yet is only a 10-minute drive from the most popular areas of Healdsburg. The owner and property manager were very good communicators and very eager to help us have an enjoyable stay--much appreciated. Very clean and well-organized. Great for bird viewing! Please be aware of a few things that are not obvious from the photos: 1) the primary bedroom on the top level has no bathroom, and the closest bathroom is down two flights of steep stairs, 2) the outside deck with a beautiful view of the hills has no access from the living/dining room area, but only downstairs, walking through the two small bedrooms on the lowest floor of the home, and the large deck that is accessible from the main level has no view, 3) the river bank is a ten-minute uphill/downhill walk away, and is a large rough rock area with no sand and no shade, and 4) Sonoma County's short-term rental regulations mean that it is not allowed to have any friends visit, even for a glass of wine or a small dinner party, unless they are paid renters. In all other aspects, the home was as pictured and good, the owner and manager were wonderful, and Healdsburg is delightful and accessible.

Great place

Place is a real gem: Beautiful views of the Russian River valley from the house and from several decks; Spacious and comfortable inside; Hot tub outside on deck with beautiful view of the valley; easy walk to water. We also did some nearby hikes and spent time in the lovely town of Healdsburg. Owner Stephen and manager Tenay were great hosts.

We are a little up the hill from the beach, which provides those amazing valley views. The walk to the beach is only a few minutes (6mins by google) down and around two corners. To eliminate any confusion finding the semi-private beach and Del Rio Woods Beach from the house, we now provide a very detailed map with the Arrival Information Package. Thank you so much for staying with us!

Thank you so much for the kinds words Joe! I appreciate it! Since we are located in the heart of 3 famous wine appellations, Alexander Valley, Russian River Valley, and Dry Creek Valley, we definitely agree we are ideally located for wine touring! We are only minutes from downtown Healdsburg Town Square with its multiple Michelin star-reviewed restaurants as well, and I hope that you had an opportunity to experience some of those as well! If not, it definitely sounds like it might be time to book again and grab that returning guest discount and see all of our new improvements!

Bruce, Thank you for the excellent review! We do have a great location, in the heart of 3 wine appellations, and are only minutes drive to downtown--and only minutes walk to Russian River beaches with great views from the house. It is true that the road to the house is a typical California narrow and bendy road, and can be tricky for really large vehicles. However, the county has been doing massive vegetative management which has definitely improved it. We have made many improvements (inside and out) since you last visited to enhance any future stay! We would love to host you again, with a returning guest discount of course!
