Another wonderful stay at this fabulous VRBO. Clean, comfortable, up-to-date and has everything you need. Yard and outside area are great - wonderful patio, beautiful views and a fabulous garden as well. We always looked forward to returning to relax after a busy day of wine tasting. Kimberly and Nicole are great to deal with. We hope to be back next summer. Thanks again for a great stay.

Peaceful Splendor

The peace, serenity, and splendid views of this house are perfect. We had our morning coffee and tea in the back garden listening to birdsongs, surrounded by the private vineyard, and enjoying stunning views of the forested hills bathed in sunshine. Our evening wine was enjoyed outdoors by the fire pit. This cottage is beautifully decorated, comfortable, wonderfully furnished, has a superbly stocked / updated kitchen, and outdoor sitting areas that include an arbor covered deck, and fire pits - one in front yard and the other in back. The host provided timely communications throughout the process and was very gracious in sharing ideas for things to do and places to dine in and around Healdsburg. We have stayed at rentals around the world... this lovely property ranks with the best. Our stay will long be remembered. We hope to book a return stay!

Beautiful place and a wonderful host

My family and I stayed here for the Thanksgiving holiday and had an absolutely wonderful stay. The place is well equipped and very cozy with a wood burning fireplace, beautiful outdoor spaces (including multiple fire pits) and comfortable bedrooms. The host is also amazing - communication before, during and after was easy and included fantastic recommendations. And to top it all off, they even treated my family and I to a complimentary tasting at a local winery. Would definitely recommend!

Love First Crush

The cottage and the grounds are absolutely gorgeous! We loved the way the cottage was decorated, so cozy! Everything was well appointed. There are multiple places on the grounds to sit and enjoy a glass of wine and the scenery. It is the perfect size for two couples. The location is close to downtown Healdsburg, Dry Creek wineries and a five-minute walk to the Dry Creek General Store! Napa is only a little over an hour away. The owners and property manager responded quickly when we had questions. The cottage is well equipped with everything that you need if you were to stay and cook in, but with so many great restaurants in the area, we didn’t bother. Definitely recommend First Crush Cottage and we can't wait to go back!

Lovely month!

We had a wonderful month long stay at First Crush. The cottage had everything we needed, was very clean, and the property manager was helpful and easy to reach. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out in the front yard and eating on the back porch. And, the location was the best! We were out among the vineyards but just a three minute drive from Healdsburg Ave. Our sincere thanks to Kimberley and Nicole for everything.

Great Sonoma Stay

This house is as described on the website. Easy to find and comfortable place to hang. It was very convenient to a few events we had to attend in the Dry Creek area. But not real close to downtown Healdsburg if that was what you are looking for. Very well stocked kitchen. Would return

This property looks like it is a model home, everything is perfect. The neutral colors are soothing, and the furnishings are top notch. The grounds are charming and well tucked away from Dry Creek as to not hear any occasional traffic. All communications by owner and property manager were cordial and professional.

Perfect house for a getaway for two couples

We had a fantastic stay in early December, 2023. The house was clean and just as depicted in the listing, and it really was well stocked with everything you need, including firewood. Kimberly was very responsive and we so much appreciate her sharing her home with us, especially since we had a dog with us. We will rent again from her when we are in the area. No need to hesitate if you are looking for a place to stay near Healdsburg. There is even a country store down the road if you need prepared food, wine, groceries or a gift. Enjoy!

Gorgeous weekend in Healdsburg

Had a lovely weekend in wine country enjoying the fall colors and sunshine with dear friends. First Crush Cottage was perfect for two couples. The kitchen was well appointed for the preparation of simple meals and snacks, and we enjoyed coffee/wine/conversation together on the comfortable couch. We built a fire in the fireplace one evening, and It was warm enough to have brunch outside on the deck. Location is great. It's easy to get to the wineries, Dry Creek Market, and into town. We loved the charming property and will be back! Cheers!
