Here you'll find a delightful array of quaint and eclectic shops, great restaurants, bars and bistros, yummy bakeries, tasting rooms, live music concerts, a "first-run" movie theater, and much more.

Nearby Windsor's 6,650-yard, par-72 championship course is a short 15-minute drive from Redwood Tree House. Windsor Golf Club traverses a year-round creek, lakes, and oak trees and has played host to six PGA Nike Tour events.

Wineries And Attractions... Healdsburg is the "epicenter" of the Northern California wine country. It's the ideal place to explore the award-winning wines of Sonoma County (Napa and Mendocino, too!). In fact, there are more than 60 different wineries to choose from within 10 miles of Redwood Tree House. The owners provide a complete list of wineries, menus, events, and area attractions in attractive guest notebooks.

Casinos... For those interested in testing their luck, nearby River Rock Casino offers 1,600 state-of-the-art slot machines, including video poker, progressives, and many popular machines. There are also 16 tables featuring Pai Gow Poker, Three Card Poker, and Blackjack; offering the most liberal rules in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Best Times to Visit... Summer month reservations fill up quickly, so advance bookings are strongly recommended. Spring and Fall months are normally less crowded, but are becoming more popular each year because the weather is very pleasant and the scenery is picturesque. Winter is the "secret" season, a great time to escape with friends or family to your own riverside hideaway.

Redwood Tree House has been featured in national publications, including Wine Enthusiast Magazine,the New York Times, and Marin Independent Journal. It was also showcased on The Fine Living Channel's "Around the World in 80 Homes." The property takes its name from towering redwoods surrounding the home -- including a 150-foot giant growing straight up through the middle of the house, encased in glass.

A Natural Paradise... Redwood Tree House guests enjoy the home's many special amenities, including the spacious wraparound deck overlooking the Russian River and an enchanting fern grotto with secret pond and secluded hot tub. A lush front lawn leads to a separate riverside patio, and easy access to the water. Sweeping river views command attention from every corner of the property. And, thanks to an undeveloped green belt, the opposite side of the river remains in its natural state, preserving the peace and tranquility of the entire area.. It's not unusual to see fish jumping in the river and heron, egrets, osprey, cormorants, deer and other wildlife all year long.
