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!

This house was fantastic, and we would love to return! The property was extremely clean, and the kitchen came fully stocked with everything we needed. We spent a lot of time by the water; the 95 steps down to the river are well-lit and nicely maintained. Having access to river supplies like the low folding chairs and beach towels was a major plus. Inside, the beds were highly comfortable with great quality bedding. While we do not have young children (anymore), please be aware that accessing the third bedroom requires walking outside and down a few steps. It is a wonderful setup that provides additional privacy, but it is just something to keep in mind if need to keep an eye on the kids. We highly recommend this charming house!

Little Cabin in the Woods

This is an adorable property like staying in a tree house. We loved the feeling of being far away but within 5 minutes of Healdsburg. Kitchen is well equipped and we found some of the basics when we went to cook but we were deeply appreciated the coffee and tea supplies.It is a hike up from the river so not a good option if you aren't able to navigate steep stairs of differing heights, but they do everything possible to make it safe.I would definitely stay again.

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!

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

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.
