Very cute and cozy place. A little out of the way of town so plan accordingly if you're going to be relying on services like Uber, but perfect if you have your own car. Although this place is pet friendly, you would not be able to tell that pets have stayed here as it was very clean. Everything worked as described, we would definitely stay here again.

Great place for family with dogs

Great little cottage with everything we could need. Nice separation for multiple families if needed, and close to the river as well as not far from downtown Healdsburg. Great little getaway for our family and pups!

Wonderful stay with family

Maria’s home was perfect for our family’s weekend trip to Healdsburg. Comfortable, spacious and my 3-year old loved the outdoor space for playing. Short drive to downtown.

Charming River House

My friends and I loved staying here. It's a charming house with a lovely outdoor space and access to a great spot on the river. It feels quiet and remote, but town is so close that we were able to have a lovely night out. We would definitely stay here again.

Nostalgic getaway

Within a Stones throw of my grandmas cabin where I spent my childhood summers, this place was ideal. Reached out to the owner about a minor issue upon arrival, and the response was immediate. It was great that she grew up in that house also, so we reminisced about the old neighborhood. The River was wonderful and within walking distance. Such a lovely relaxing time.

Enjoyed the location and the fenced yard. The heat was not working the first night. The owner came and fixed the heating problem the next day and brought over a frying pan which we appreciated. The couch really needs to be replaced, besides being ripped, cushions and frame have deteriorated to a point that it is difficult to use Cleaning could have used more attention

Old craftsman cottage

The good: Cute craftsman cottage and nice enclosed outdoor area that was really dog friendly! Quiet neighborhood. Towels were clean and fireplace kept us warm. What could be improved: We ran out of paper towels and wished they stocked more in the pantry. No hand soap in the kitchen or body soap in the showers. We requested early check in on Thursday morning and owner didn’t respond to our message until the evening before our check out date with a generic message as if they didn’t know we were already staying at their property.

Quirky place

This place worked out ok but I wouldn’t book it again if coming back to Healdsburg. If it’s your first time to this area I would stay closer to town. I will say the area is peaceful with little traffic. I enjoyed drinking my morning coffee outside savoring the peace and quiet with the hummingbirds and squirrels. Pros: feels secluded, private courtyard with outdoor seating. Good breeze since it’s on the side of a hill. There’s a beautiful large redwood off the deck. Cons: There’s a lack of seating for 4 adults in the living room and what’s there needs replacing. I only found 1 frying pan and it’s small. Parking is across a small street so you have to go a little further with your suitcases. Overall, it just was not a comfortable place to stay for the nightly rate.

Beautiful setting

The location was very convenient. Feels like out in the mountains, but only 1 mile from town. A few items needs attention: Broken/no towel rack in the bathroom; no dishrags in the kitchen to wipe counter, table or dishes with; very limited personal linens available. We had to use a washcloth and bathroom hand towel for kitchen use. Fortunately, there were only four of us, so had an extra set of towels to use for the kitchen. Messaged owner asking for kitchen linens. She said she’d drop some off, but never did. Some of the light switches didn’t seem to work, or weren’t found. Other than that, the home was comfy, definitely rustic.

Property was ideally located, comfortable and well equipped. The house could have been cleaner. We did not use the patio furniture, it was dirty and had holes. We enjoyed the BBQ grill! I would return. Nature filled. Slept great!

Fitch Mountain Cabin

We were glad to stay at Maria’s cabin on Fitch! We are very familiar with the mountain so we really appreciated the great parking spaces that come with the cabin. If your party includes anyone with mobility issues, make sure you are aware of bedroom-bathroom layouts and big step in for one of the showers.

A weekend on Fitch Mountain

We arrived in the late afternoon and enjoyed a relaxing stroll to the river. Where the swallows were busy dipping and diving for food. After returning to the wonderful home, we nestled down outside with a cool beverage and soaked in the canopy of green beauty. A lovely peaceful weekend. Comfortable beds, nice hot showered and plenty of towels!! It felt like home! Thank you for our experience in your Fitch mountain retreat!! We loved our stay! Everything was perfect. Great Wi-Fi too!!

Cozy mountain cottage

We enjoyed our stay in this quiet, comfortable cottage. The beds were comfortable and the gas fireplace was a bonus on the chilly nights. Be sure to read the previous comments carefully, as there are comments indicating certain items that are not included, that should be. These include washcloths and dishwasher detergent for starters. We did not contact the owner about these items since we were only there 2 nights. Overall a nice stay.
