About this property

Large Outdoor Kitchen, Pool, Hot Tub, Vineyard...8 Mins From Healdsburg Plaza

OK, we did go a little overboard with the outdoor kitchen. But running back and forth to the house while you are BBQing is such a drag. So, we put in a double BBQ (regular and searing), a griddle, two refrigerators, freezer drawers, icemaker, 2 sinks, 3 burners, warming drawer, gas pizza oven, large island, even a dishwasher. And while it is quite large, it is still an intimate place for people to hang out.

But we didn’t stop there. Had to do the large freeform pool with large hot tub, waterfall features, double-sized mosaic tile outdoor dining table with café lights, multiple tiered seating areas, expansive kid’s play structure and a hillside vineyard producing chardonnay and cabernet (which you get to try). Also, outdoor foosball, ping pong, Connect4 and cornhole too. The one thing we don’t have is neighbors.

We couldn’t help ourselves. We fell in love with this 1910 Craftsman farmhouse with amazing views of the Alexander Valley and only 8 minutes to Healdsburg Plaza. We spent 8 years remodeling it and creating the outdoor space. We just love it and love even more sharing this special place with guests.

We were even featured in Sonoma Magazine as part of their "Stunning Wine Country Vacation Pools." article. But what is more satisfying is receiving reviews from guests like “you’ll never want to leave this house”, “the most perfect backyard in Healdsburg”, “the best rental property out there” and “Five stars isn't enough.”

And the “little overboard” also goes on inside. Another large fully stocked kitchen with large island, griddle, 4 burners, Thermador double oven, and extensive coffee station. An entertainment system with 80” 4K TV, 7.1 sound, Apple TV (complete with Hulu, HBO/Max, Netflix, Disney, Prime, Paramount, Peacock or buy any movie/show you want). Japanese Toto toilets in every bathroom that open for you, heats the seat and can even spray your bum – only if you want that of course. A true wood burning fireplace, lovely on those colder nights and central heating and air to make sure you are always comfortable.

And who says Fido shouldn’t join in on the fun? We love pets. We can provide multiple dog beds, bowls, toys and plenty of space outside to run around (the whole 3 acres is fenced). We do ask for a nominal pet fee which helps us clean everything spotless inside and out.

As for beds, there are 8 in total. The master suite has a king bed, located upstairs with its own double-sink full bathroom and separate sitting room. The other bedrooms are downstairs. Two have queen beds, both with french doors out to the backyard. There is also another bedroom (connected by french doors to one of the bedrooms) which has 2 twin beds. There is another full bath downstairs plus a half guest bath. There are sofa beds in the upstairs sitting room, master bedroom alcove and downstairs living room.

One final note before you hopefully read some of our reviews. We want you to not just vacation at our house, but to have one of your best experiences ever. And if that is asking maybe too much, well, we do have a toilet that will spray your bum with water.

Oasis backyard
My husband and I stayed at this gorgeous Healdsburg home. We will definitely be back during the summer. The backyard is truly amazing. There are so many amenities that I can't list them all. The pool is fantastic. The outdoor kitchen is amazing and has every feature you could imagine. We enjoyed sitting at the fire pit with the sound of water moving through the brook. Our dog was welcomed and had a blast running through the very large yard. Michael was a very helpful and responsive host. We loved every moment of our weekend vacation.

The most stocked house ever
The house and grounds were wonderful and relaxing. The road noise was the only small issue, which really wasn’t bad. But the thing that set this place apart was the supplies in the house. It had everything I can possibly imagine. Very thoughtful and had such a positive impact on the experience. Just do it. You won’t regret it I promise

Amazing Home in Alexander Valley Area!
Our family had a great stay at this amazing home! The house is completely stocked with all of the essentials, plus more. So many bath supplies, kitchen, extra sunscreen - you name it, they've thought of it. The house is very nice, the beds are comfortable. TVs in every room with lots of subscription choices. Of course, the best is the outdoors. Very large, beautiful pool with a nice hot tub. Comes with more pool toys and floats than you could ever use. Outdoor kitchen is bigger than most houses with numerous refrigerators, BBQs, storage, pots/pans, etc. Large outdoor table, seating area, fire pit. Plus games! Corn hole, ping pong, and - our favorite - the hatchet throwing game! View is beautiful from the top seating areas. Perfect for that evening glass of wine. The host was very friendly, attentive, responsive and accommodating. We loved this place and will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Leslie and Michael Olch

Host profile image
We are the Olch family (Leslie, Michael and Milly, age 18). We love cooking, traveling and wine (of course). We also love this house. When we decided to move into town for school reasons, we just could not let this property go (too emotionally attached!). So we decided to share it with guests (and still be able to visit). We are only 8 minutes away so we are readily available for any questions or needs. We hope you love the house as much as we do...

Why they chose this property

Why should you consider this property? It is a great combination of getting away from it all (you are surrounded by trees), yet you are so close to town - an easy drive or Uber/Lyft. And over 20 world-class Alexander Valley wineries are even closer.

Another reason is the backyard with what we believe is the largest outdoor kitchen in Sonoma (we were going to build a pool house but instead invested everything into one crazy kitchen). But it is less about the size. It is about being able to cook outside and never have to go into the house. So you can really focus on the cooking and conversation. Also, you are right next to the pool, so you can watch everything going on and never leave the grill. And after, you can settle around the large firepit (which turns on automatically with a turn of a timer) to continue catching up. Guests have told us they have cancelled their tour plans because they did not want to leave the backyard.

And even though the house has this amazing backyard, guests also love the inside. The gourmet kitchen, wood-burning fireplace, high-end Toto toilets with seat heating and bidet, 80" TV and more are often mentioned by guests. We also pay attention to the little things: phone chargers in each bedroom, 5 different types of oils, a Keurig latte/coffee maker with endless pods and creamers, a watch any movie on AppleTV policy, Alexas with full music subscriptions, etc.

Making sure you have the best time possible is not a job for us, it really is a passion. We recently heard from a guest who stayed with us a few years ago (who is coming back out). She said she thinks of our property and her experience here all the time. We were so tickled. That is what puts us on top of the world. That is why we do this.

What makes this property unique

A resort experience only 8 minutes to town, and close to wineries.

Owners who love doing this and extremely dedicated to making sure this is an experience and not just a vacation.

The outdoor kitchen (and the pool, hot tub, firepit, kids playground, water features, views, etc, etc)

A very comfortable and inviting indoors (per our guest reviews).
