About this house rental
Retreat to the exquisite Heron House, a riverside haven where the towering Redwoods meet the flowing beauty of the Russian River. This special riverfront home offers direct access to a private beach and is located just minutes from downtown Healdsburg. Tucked away on North Fitch Mountain’s wooded knoll, the setting feels wonderfully secluded—yet never far from Wine Country’s vibrant dining and wine scene.
There’s a rare calm here: morning mist rising off the river, redwoods whispering overhead, and the feeling of being completely immersed in nature while enjoying modern comforts.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
Perfect place for 3 couples. Comfortable. Pro kitchen (which we didn’t have the opportunity to use.) enjoyed the hot tub and sweet figs on the trees. Lovely spot right on the river, where we spotted an otter!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
Location is great with deck overlooking river was great. Rustic feel, well equipped. Kayaks were a well enjoyed bonus. Nice to have AC but it was loud so we turned off at night. We stayed 6 adults … but not 3 couples … so sleeping accommodations were a little tight with someone in living room. Communication and check in was easy, departure instructions clear and easy to follow. Plenty of parking. Would definitely stay again when visiting Healdsburg!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jan 2025
Home is situated in a very quiet and scenic location on the river, with a nice deck with outside dining and hot tub. Property had kayaks and other river equipment available, too. Home was clean, with a lovely kitchen and rooms. We would stay here again.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Nov 2024
We had a fabulous stay. Great house with a great location. It was lovely waking up and going outside to enjoy the river and woods around us. 5 min drive from Healdsburg main streets with great stores and restaurants. Enjoyed our drive to the coast, redwoods, and vineyards! Would stay again!
