Chic wine country cottage and garden

What a gem! We absolutely loved our stay at Harold House! The house is recently renovated, beautifully decorated and well stocked with kitchen equipment and everything else you need for a great stay. There is a huge backyard with plenty of furniture, as well as a fire pit and BBQ. There is also a big garden with lots of fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs. The house is located about a 15 minute walk to the plaza, which is a walk we took almost daily. There are also walking paths nearby on Fitch mountain and along the Russian River. Kelci responded quickly to the one question I asked. We have stayed at multiple VRBO properties over the last few years. The temptation for the owners is to skimp when purchasing furniture, equipment and supplies. We were very pleased that Kelci did the opposite. The towels are high quality, there is plenty of cookware, dishware and glassware, including a large collection of wine glasses. We were able to relax and settle in quickly because we felt like we had all the comforts of home, but were not in someone else’s space. Healdsburg has an amazing selection of gourmet and casual restaurants as well as coffee shops and bakeries surrounding the plaza. It also has a number of wine tasting rooms in town. Kelci recommended several, like Banshee and Marine Layer, and we thoroughly enjoyed them. Healdsburg is minutes away from Dry Creek Valley and the Russian River Valley wine areas. Its also about 15 minutes from Santa Rosa, so it has the all the advantages of a small town with the convenience of a large town nearby. If you want to go on a vacation that is based on amazing food and wine, this is the spot for you. We definitely did not want to leave and can’t wait until we can go back.
