    OVERVIEW
    __________
    Can sleep up to 8* & Super Pet Friendly! Luxury spa, beautiful retro-inspired Vermont Castings gas fireplace, A/C (seasonally), stunning state of the art remote-controlled ceiling fans throughout the home. Three amazing decks, spectacular views, walking distance from semi-private beach access and Del Rio Woods Beach. A nature oasis in the heart of wine country. High-speed wireless internet (800mbps), Smart TV with +140 channels Xfinity Cable, luxury towels & linens...read on to discover more!

    Fitch Mountain Lookout (FML) is perched on the south (sunny!) side of Fitch Mountain in Healdsburg. Its stunning views of the forested river valley below often showcase Osprey & Egrets flying along the water's edge, while Otters and Herons hang around the banks. Deer and their fawn (Quails and their little chicks) trot by the bedroom windows daily, and the provided Hummingbird Happy Hour kit entices our furious fliers to provide daily entertainment on all the decks while Chickadees, Titmice, Stellar & Scrub Jays, Grosbeaks, Pine Siskins, Gold Finches, and even Orioles hop in for wild seed, a sip of nectar, or bird bath. It is a fantastic 2000 square foot multi-level 3 bedroom, 2 full bathroom reverse-flow floor plan home. The main level of the home showcases an amazing 12ft picture window with a large open flow family room to living room concept. This area features a picturesque retro Vermont Castings fireplace, ample cozy seating, & is perfect for sipping wine, playing board games, or catching up on your favorite show.

    Yes, FML is nestled in the woods, on a little mountain, & feels delectably removed from the busy world, but tech lovers' have nothing to fear! The family room is equipped with a 58' flat-screen smart TV to make using your streaming services and apps easy! No Roku or Amazon stick needed! And you can cast from your cell phones & laptops. Additionally, we offer 140+ cable channels through our Xfinity App services, and bluetooth surround sound bar & speakers for an enhanced tv sound experience--which can also be used to stream your favorite playlists. The entire house boasts up to 800mbps Wifi for over 11 devices, so any “unplugging” or “disconnecting” you do, will be completely at your discretion!

    The formal dining room seats 8 with stellar forest views, connected to a well-equipped kitchen with spacious counters (& 2 barstool seats) that make it great for cooking. It also has a Caffeine Corner full of extras that will delight the coffee & tea lover in your group. The kitchen ends with french doors that flow out to the massive BBQ deck that also has dining for 8 under adorable bistro lights. Break off from the group & take the back stairs down to the Coffee & Cuddles Deck (with Moonrise Meadow views) for a more intimate chat or play some jumbo Connect 4! Relax your muscles & mind in the luxury spa, complete with waterfall & led light features (or my favorite, leave it dark & simply enjoy the star-infused sky) on the forest facing deck.

    All of the bedrooms have spectacular views over the Russian River Valley. Truly, there are no bad views! Each room has luxury linens (genuine 600-thread count organic cotton) paired with down-alternative duvets, featuring such cuddly-worthy duvet covers, they might tempt you to stay snuggled past your alarm. The Van Gogh (Spa Level with forested valley views) & Duncanson (Penthouse Level with river views) bedrooms are generously sized, both with chat corners, & still roomy enough to set up our Graco Pack´n Play to keep any little ones within earshot & eyesight (the home is not child-proof, children should be closely monitored at ALL times).

    With multiple outdoor decks for humans & fur-babies alike to enjoy festive BBQ feasts, amazing wildlife, refreshing forest ambiance, star-riddled nights, or the luxury 37 jet hot tub, we think we might just redefine what “FML” means to you!😉

    ----------
    DUNCANSON
    The large, bright main bedroom rests high above the family-living room space & up a slightly steep banister stairway that ends in a Juliette balcony. Through a tall pocket door, this room boasts a massive walk-in closet (with a larger dresser) that allows any fashionista to hang all their lovelies and coordinate their daily outfits. The pillow-top queen bed invites even the earliest of risers to stay tucked in for just another minute, while two extremely cushioned chairs lure any reader to curl up with their favorite book (or one from the lending library) or the chatty conversationalist to host court. A large desk and chair serve double duty as a work desk or vanity station to finish that last task, or glam up for a night out, all while keeping cool with its own air conditioning system (seasonal). This massive room has options for everyone. The charming wood cathedral ceilings create an airiness while the lovely bay window beckons you to take a seat and absorb the river and forest views (& seasonal sunrise fog). These views are so gorgeous, they truly rival the room's namesake's (the great master painter Duncanson) glorious landscapes, and might make it difficult for you to leave for your day's adventures!
    • Work Station/Makeup Vanity desk
    • Conversation Nook (2 deeply cushioned parlor chairs)
    • Bay Window with River & Forest Views
    ----------
    MONET
    This adorable room calls on Monet's “Venice Sunrise” for its cheerful color scheme. It sports a double bed with a pillow-top mattress, graphic overhead shelves, 2 tall-boy dressers, a retro yellow fan & quietly powerful sleek remote-controlled ceiling fan! Wake up to the valley view from your bed, step through the patio doors onto the Spa deck and enjoy your breakfast with the hummingbirds.
    • HummingBird & Forest View
    • Direct Spa Deck access
    ----------
    VAN GOGH
    This inviting suite channels Van Gogh with its newly update blue hues with pops of sunflower gold. It features an architecturally striking platform queen bed with the most delicious memory foam mattress, easily accessed by an adorable white wooden step stool. Careful, you may never want to leave this bed! Thoughtful floating wall shelves provide the second sleeper with storage for reading glasses and phones, in addition to the deep drawer nightstand and dresser. The new remote controlled overhead ceiling fan is as much of an art piece, as it is the breeziest wind you never heard. Relax with a book on the plush velveteen sofa-futon under the new fascinating chandelier light (another Star Wars nod), catch a sighting of the does (and fawns during spring & summer) as they trot by the large window on their way down to graze in our lower meadow, or watch the evening moon-rise through the sliding doors over Moon-rise Meadow on the Eastern-Southern horizon. Ready for the spa? You have your own private sliding glass door that leads directly to our rug-covered deck.

    Wine Weekend
    We had a great experience at Fitch Mountain Lookout. The home has a great view, is a short walk downhill to the river, and only a short drive to town. We most enjoyed watching the birds come to the feeders in the morning while we started our day in the hot tub!

    We will be staying here again! Love Healsburg, love the wine, and this house was a great way to enjoy it. Stephen and Tay were wonderful hosts and they sincerely work to make your stay enjoyable. The house, elevated on the hillside, has amazing views, is clean and has everything you need for a great vacation in wine country. Highly recommend.

    We loved our stay at Fitch Mountain lookout for our anniversary get away over New Year’s. Weekend. The house is very comfortable with stunning views of the Russian River valley and more hummingbirds in one place than we’ve ever experienced. Less than 10 minutes from Healdsburg with its delightful shops and restaurants and perfect for day trips to Sonoma County wine destinations and the beautiful Sonoma Coast. Communication with our host and the management team was flawless and we appreciated the bottle of champagne and goodies that awaited our arrival. Dog friendly too!

    Views, Elegant and Comfy, Doggy Pampering, & So many-To-do's (for next trip),
    Wow. The views from this home are breathtaking. It was tempting to just stare out the window all day. The home itself is lovely, with a well-stocked kitchen for cooking and baking, a super nice bbq, and all the bedding was so soft and comfy. The dining room has feels elegant and modern, seats 8 with comfy velvet chairs, and more great views. Also, they do not just “allow” dogs, but love them, my Max was very pampered. They provide a whole set-up for them! They had this super plush bed set for him, with a surprise gift, plus a basket of filled with quick dry towels, a chuck it, and even a whole jar filled with delectable doggie treats. Max was in heaven, which of course made me very happy. The morning fog and sunrises on the spa deck were glorious, despite some occasional rain. If you sit toward the back of the spa, you’re out of the rain and can enjoy the brave hummies and finches that are ever present (& you’re supplied with food to refill them)! The boutique welcome wine was yummie, and there was even a voucher for a buy one get one tasting (I don’t know if they always have these) which was fabulous. Their custom visit guides helped us plan a fantastic trip, and we still have quite a long list to “to do’s” for future visits, including adding a day to rent the kayaks and get out on the river! I think we found our new Healdsburg wine country home base. Everyone was a delight to communicate with, and ensured I had everything I could need. Thank you Stephen & T

    Beautiful, remote getaway!
    Wow! Just a perfect place to get away with friends for the weekend. We very much enjoyed feeding and “playing” with the hummingbirds. Hot tub on the deck was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the view. The town of Healdsburg is less than 10min away so we could go and enjoy all it had to offer. However, staying at the home and taking the short walk down to the river was the highlight for us. We would definitely book here again!
