This is a total find and we were very lucky that it was available the weekend we were traveling to Healdsburg. The primary facet that makes this property so special is the owner - Frederic is without question one of the most gracious and accommodating hosts I've ever experienced. Incredibly flexible, super helpful with directions and recommendations, did everything possible to make our visit comfortable. The guest house sits behind the main house, pool and garage of a large property with double-gated entry and very long driveway. It feels very remote but you are just a 5 minute drive to Plank Coffee, Big John's Market (which is amazing) and a few minutes more to the heart of Healdsburg. While not large, the guest house was more than ample enough in size for two of us, and the house is very well amenitized. The guest house has a private rear yard with small waterfall and an incredible array of mulberry trees that form a beautiful shade canopy over a table with 4 chairs, as well as some Adirondack chairs. Frederic ensured we had private access to their beautiful swimming pool and barbecue. Everything was truly exceptional and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.2 potential "sensitivities":1. The long driveway is somewhat rough and for those who have low-slung sports cars it could be problematic2. The WiFi was inconsistent. In this setting it's best to escape and "unplug", but if having lightning-speed online access at all time, check w/ Frederic.
