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

Model Showroom Ready
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. This is a keeper on my list of places to stay when in Healdsburg.

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!

Summer at First Crush
We spent 4 weeks at First Crush and could not have been more pleased. The house is beautiful and well equipped. The location is convenient to downtown and to numerous wineries. The outside grounds offer several seating and eating areas and are surrounded by beautiful vineyards. Both the owner and her local property manager were immediately responsive to all our requests. And finally, Healdsburg has it all!

Great wine country house
The house was perfect. Great weeklong stay. We had 2 couples and really enjoyed it. Loved the outdoor firepit which we used every night. Cooked in every night and the kitchen was well stocked and the back porch grill was nice to have. The property manager was very responsive when we ran out of propane one time. She was there in an hour. Loved it and hated to leave. Would definately book again.

A weekend of wine and jazz in lovely Healdsburg
An amazing house with all the amenities of your own home, including the best toiletries. A fresh herb garden right outside the kitchen door, beautiful roses surround the property and an amazing bottle of wine to compliment our evening meal. The added bonus of the complimentary wine tasting at Lambert Bridge was the the cherry on top. I'll definitely be back on my next visit to Healdsburg.

Excellent Home for Visiting Sonoma County
The house has been wonderfully remodeled into a 5-star accommodation. It is centrally located for Sonoma County excursions and very near Napa Valley. It has a rural feel, even though stores and restaurants are a short drive away. The house is very comfortable and also has many seating and dining areas outside. If you want to cook, the kitchen is supplied with all of the cooking utensils needed. There is also a high-end gas grill outdoors.
