About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Morning Dew-A Riverfront Healdsburg Home

Sunny, fun riverfront home in Healdsburg with direct access to Russian River and multiple indoor and outdoor areas to relax and enjoy your time. Great wine country location, less than 10 minutes to Healdsburg's Town Square, and less than 5 minutes to Ru's Farm, or Front Porch Farms. We have multiple decks, a screened porch, a private patio overlooking the river, and everything you need to enjoy them. TOT#3255N

Our calendar is up to date and instant-booking is on.

The space

Morning Dew is a quaint, 1920s home set under a beautiful old oak tree. In the main house, you'll find a well equipped eat-in kitchen and two separate living spaces where you can curl up by the wood stove with a good book, play cards, watch cable TV or use the WiFi. We have a well stocked kitchen, and provide coffee and tea.

There are several options for sleeping, with a queen bed and a single bed in main house, and a second queen bed in the "Love Shack" (a rustic studio accessed by a separate entry below the main home). There is a full bath in the main house and a small bath with shower in the Love Shack.

There are many outdoor spaces for relaxing and enjoying the sounds and views of the river. You'll find a shaded deck off the kitchen with a large table for outdoor dining, a small lounge area besides Love Shack, a screened porch part way down to the river, and a shaded platform that sits above the rocky beach.

We have everything you need for a memorable river and wine weekend. Folding chairs, beach towels, and a cooler are available for lounging at the river. Winery maps and recommendations and a picnic basket help you make the most of your winery tour. You'll also find great hiking and road biking in the area, or can arrange a kayaking or canoe trip ending at nearby Memorial Beach.

Guest access

You will have access to the entire property. We share the path down to the river with our neighbors, but the platform above the river is exclusively ours and there is plenty of room on the rocky beach for everyone to find their own space.

Interaction with guests

While we do not live onsite, we are available by phone or electronically for questions and advice. You can talk to me directly via the Ring doorbell anytime.

Other things to note

Please note there are many steep steps down to the river. Use of the stairs and river are at your own risk.

We have a Ring video doorbell.

Please note this is an old and quirky home situated in a rural area. While the oak tree brings lovely shade, it also regularly drops leaves and is home to lots of wildlife. While it varies by season, here are some of the creatures you may come across:
Most likely see - lizards, songbirds, jays, hawks, spiders, caterpillars.
Probably see - deer, ducks, fish, hummingbirds, vultures.
Might see - river otters, quail, snakes, field mice, skunks.

Our home is always professionally cleaned between visits, but if seeing a spider in the house could ruin your weekend, it may not be the best choice for you!

Please message with any questions and we hope you enjoy your visit to Sonoma Wine Country!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. A Smart TV comes with cable channels and a DVD player, and guests can stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

Great location; wonderful to be able to so easily access the Russian, though flowing too swift for us to get in we enjoyed hanging out next to. The interior is artistically decorated, and was very clean. Communication with Gil was prompt and clear. My sister and I would definitely stay again!

Great Place needs some outdoor love

Loved the property and beautiful location. Beds comfortable. House spacious and welcoming. River and Kayaks awesome. Outdoor spaces need power wash cleaning and maintenance. Thick dust on patio furniture and cobwebs festooning every surface (legs put under the patio table met with massive webs with leaves stuck in them). Stairs down to river need repair & handrails are getting rickety. Overall great place. An outdoor grill would be nice if local rules allow

The Perfect Place

My girlfriends and I spent a week at Morning Dew and loved every minute of it. The space was lovely, comfy, and the perfect location to visit our favorite wineries and find new favorites in Sonoma Valley, Napa Valley, and Anderson Valley. We also loved beating the heat at the ocean and watching the harbor seals. We enjoyed nights on the deck, morning river kayak trips, and the Healdsburg’s Farmer’s Market and concerts. I loved waking up in the Love Shack to the sounds of the river and sunlight filtering through the trees. They had thought of everything like coffee grinders, loose tea strainers, great information about the area, and wireless chargers. This little place is the perfect space for rest, relaxation, and a great location to experience Northern California!

Idyllic setting

We had a great stay at Morning Dew. The setting is beautiful, and the outdoor spaces are lovely. It was wonderful to open the door and hear the Russian River. We went to California to spend some time with our children, and this was ideally situated halfway between San Francisco and Willits. We weren't far from the coast or hiking spots. The weather was cool and rainy, but we made good use of the wood stove and were very comfortable. We even spotted a turtle and a river otter at the riverbank. Wi-fi connection was excellent, and cell service seemed to depend on your carrier...Verizon worked fine, but ATT struggled. We would definitely return!

Beautiful location in forested hillside overlooking Russian River

This rustic and eclectic home was located in a beautiful, natural setting in a quite country location about 10 minutes drive from Healdsburgh. Lots of space both inside and outside. The host was great to deal with and we got good value for the money. Our only suggestion is that the furniture and carpet in the living room were old and need replacing. Other than that, we loved the place.

Morning Dew with Jam

After a small glitch, Gil, Jenn and VRBO were on it and made the necessary accommodations. The property was perfect for our family vacation, great location, kitchen was well stocked, loved their music selection and there was plenty of room to hang out - there was just too much to do in the area - wish we had more time.

We had a wonderful time. The house is clean and well kept. Had everything we needed for the stay. The backyard is beautiful overlooking the river and you can hear the river flowing while you have your coffee. It is really dark at night but they have installed motion sensor lights so it makes it easy to access the house. Lovely place and would stay here again.

Retreat in the Woods

What a delightful retreat this property was for us! It’s like being in a treehouse tucked among nature with huge windows overlooking the Russian River! The owners provide “little things” that mean a lot! We used the insulated picnic basket and ice packs every day. There were spices, coffee, sweetners and more in the kitchen. The separate “Love Shack” is simply the bed and bath. We had trouble getting the shower to heat up, but Gil was quick to advise of the “sweet spot” on the controls. The only thing missing is perhaps a place to put toiletries. Wish the weather would have provided warmth and sunshine so we could have enjoyed the amenities outside! Overall, it was great! A short drive outside Healdsburg where you can relax and enjoy!

Quaint and cozy cottage with all that you need for a comfy stay. On the river (via steps to the river) and very close to town. Equipped kitchen. Quiet. We stayed over New Years holiday so is a perfect winter getaway or summer. Perfect for two couples. Plenty of near by restaurants, grocery stores, wineries, downtown Healdsburg, etc. Enjoy the river in the summer and the outdoor deck.

Fun time in wine country

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here- the house is comfortable and clean and well stocked. It felt like home- so much better than a hotel. Yes, there are acorns and leaves and sap on the porch- but that’s because there is beautiful tree coverage. Also, we saw a mom and baby deer out there within an hour of arrival. Amazing. There isn’t cell service but there’s a landline and internet- so I was able to FaceTime the kids and make calls. There’s shampoo, conditioner and soap (all very nice) and tea and coffee and supplies in the kitchen so we didn’t have to buy any of these. The beds are COMFORTABLE and the neighborhood is quiet- we slept very well. I went for a jog one morning- it’s hilly but beautiful- and there wasn’t any traffic. Overall, a wonderful stay and we will definitely return. Thank you so much!
