Summary:
Riverside retreat on the Russian River with private beach, spa, and kayaks. Just minutes from downtown Healdsburg, plus complimentary wine tastings!
The Space:
Retreat to the exquisite Heron House, a riverside haven where the towering Redwoods meet the flowing beauty of the Russian River.

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.
