Perks for the Parents
This Sonoma County home is in the heart of California’s wine country and has vineyard views, a pool and sunny deck. It is set up with a main house and a guesthouse and is ideal for 1 or 2 families vacationing together. There is a spacious living room and bedrooms, plus a fabulous decking area. We love the fruit trees, the views over the vineyards and the sunsets. The lovely local town of Healdsburg is an added bonus.
Why Kids Love it
Whatever their ages, kids will love the safe outdoor decking space and pool. There are plenty of toys and books, and the property is on 1 level, making family time a breeze. The setting is verdant and the location interesting, with plenty of family-friendly wineries, eateries and playgrounds nearby. Visit Lake Sonoma for water activities including water-skiing, fishing, swimming and canoeing.

A Brita filter is provided for drinking, but guests may prefer the taste of bottled water and the hosts recommend bringing a few large jugs available at the local grocery store.

Style Notes
Traditional homestead. The property has amazing views of Sonoma Valley and has a great deck where kids can play while parents relax. The home is traditional in style, well-equipped for families, and offers a comfortable and easy stay. This is a lovely country home and ideal place to relax in nature, either sipping wine on the deck or doing laps of the pool. We love the vineyard views and the superb location near to fantastic Healdsburg.

Healdsburg, Sonoma
Wine, Peanuts and picnic groves
Picture-perfect Healdsburg is one of the most beautiful small towns in northern California and the ideal place to base yourself for vineyard tours and Russian River exploration. Stroll around its 19th century plaza, sip wine in tasting rooms and enjoy the great outdoors. Family-focused wineries nearby entertain all ages with picnic areas, swimming pools and bocce ball courts. Beyond the wine, there is a Charles Schultz Museum in nearby Santa Rosa for big Peanuts fans, Safari West, and San Francisco is an easy hour's drive away.
