Description

Forest Heights is a delightfully stylish, slightly boho, sunlit wine country getaway. This wonderful new addition to our portfolio is conveniently close to the Russian River, wine tasting, and excellent dining. The cozy covered porch entry way leads into an open concept floor plan with vaulted ceilings, plenty of natural light, and updated kitchen. The outdoors are truly unique, with multiple levels, a forest view deck, loads of amenities, and creative touches everywhere.

From the carport, a flight of stairs leads down to the front door, which opens into the main living space outfitted with tasteful furnishings. The space includes the full kitchen, living room seating area and dining area. Off the short hallway are two bedrooms with queen sized beds and a full bathroom with shower/tub combo.

The upstairs deck with hot tub and outdoor dining is accessible from both bedrooms.
Relax in the hot tub under the stars or BBQ on the gas grill. The lower patio, accessed via exterior stairs, is a wine country staple – with the circular outdoor couch situated around the gas firepit and the perfect spot to relax with a glass of wine from one of the nearby wineries.

The home was beautiful, but the neighborhood was VERY crowded and not what we were expecting (the pics made it seem a bit more secluded). Noise in the area traveled very easily. But overall, my girlfriends and I were able to relax and enjoy our weekend! -via Airbnb

Manager's Response

Hello Kattrina, Thank you for your review! Forest Heights is in a quiet neighborhood like most of our rental properties, we do have this in the "know before you book" section of the listing in the location paragraph and parking referring to the street. We are so glad you all enjoyed your stay overall!

Great place, clean and exactly what we needed for a family of 4. The hot tub was really nice and we had a blast relaxing while breathing in the fresh forest air. The only downside is the stairs to get into the house. It's very steep, so I would not recommend it to families with young children or elderly folks. Our 2 year old daughter took a bad fall on the steps, broke her head open on the cement, and had to go to the ER to get stitched up. -via Airbnb

Manager's Response

Hello Cathy, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We are delighted to hear that overall, you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the relaxing atmosphere, cleanliness, and hot tub. We are truly sorry to learn about your daughter’s fall and extend our heartfelt wishes for her speedy recovery. Please, feel free to reach out directly with feedback on the stairs. We always recommend that guests look at photos and read the descriptions before making a reservation just to make sure it’s the right fit - our goal is to photograph and describe homes as accurately as possible. Guest safety is our top priority. If there's anything more we can do for you or your family, please don't hesitate to reach out.

This is a fabulous spot near the Russian River. Really clean and comfortable with so many wonderful details I could never list them all.

Loved the hot tub, the charming little town of Forestville and the nearby vineyards in their autumn colors were stunningly beautiful.-via Airbnb

This was a lovely place to stay as the hot tub was really nice, view from the kitchen was gorgeous, comfortable beds and living space. The only complaint we had was that the water tasted terrible, so we had to buy bottled water. They should supply bottled water as the tap water was undrinkable.-via Airbnb

Manager's Response

Hello Karen, We’re so glad you enjoyed Forest Heights! We love it too, but we’re completely surprised to hear that the water was unpalatable. It’s municipal water and it’s the first time we’ve heard from anyone about it. Please, if there’s ever something significantly wrong at at house, let us know immediately so we can address it or provide bottled water in this case. For future guests, the homeowners and our staff have tasted the water since reading this review and none thought it was unusual/bad. Since we didn’t know at the time, we couldn’t check it when the guest said something was wrong.

My wife and I were on a mini vacation to Sonoma County in late Oct. We rented this property based on the size, price, and location and it was perfect for us! We discussed it would also be perfect if you were traveling with another couple or 2 as well as a smaller family. The kitchen was great and well-stocked! We really appreciated the house having a few spices available, to make cooking super easy. We were very pleased with the entire experience!- via Vrbo

We wanted a little R&R and that is what we got. The house was in a quiet neighborhood and very clean and well-decorated. The house was equipped with almost anything you could need. The location made it easy to explore the area from the ocean, to the forest, and the vineyards. My only suggestion would be a king-size bed in one of the rooms, my husband is 6'4 and a queen was a little bit small. My only complaint would be that I never received an answer to my query about the 200+ price difference between what was listed on VRBO & the price once I booked.-via Vrbo

Manager's Response

Hello Charlene, We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay! We did send a message in regards to your query in the Vrbo messages as follows: "We aren't able to view the total showing in Vrbo, but, it's likely their service fee that you are seeing beyond the total for nightly rate, cleaning, and taxes. You should be able to view the full breakdown in your account and stay details in Vrbo." Thank you for your review and for being wonderful guests :)

We spent a week here exploring Sonoma County. Very nice, clean place to stay. Nice deck and outdoor space. Used the hot tub after days of tasting wine and eating at some great restaurants.

I was there with my wife and dog, plus teen for one night. Mirabel Heights is adorable neighborhood at a great location for all Sonoma has to offer. Under 30” to Russian River paddling, wine tasting, good restaurants, and a great walking/running trail from Forestville proper. And I would describe the summer weather we had as ideal: hot (but not oppressively so) from noon until evening, then very comfortable and quite cool overnight. Fog burns off much quicker than Berkeley for example. There are 2 different decks, one outside the door with perfect hot tub, BBQ grill and table for eating, nice umbrellas. Feels very private despite properties being close together. Downstairs furniture/sitting area is also very nice, and you could “stash” a teen or another couple in the separate unit downstairs. 2 things people might want to know: the inside dining area is a bit compact and awkward (in this season, the outside table more than made up for that), and the smaller paddle-board at least was not really functional/floating.-via Vrbo

I love this house! It’s cozy with lots of sunlight and all the amenities we needed. We spent lots of time on the patio indulging in our yummy finds from the farmers market and nearby wineries.. What makes the house even more amazing is the adorable neighborhood and nearby places to visit.

As I contemplated returning to this gem of a property, I realized that I didn’t leave a review from my last stay! What a great place! I loved the proximity to the Sonoma airport; it was easy to get to so that I could begin relaxing right away. I also found the property to be close to beautiful trails, the river/beach, and a great little grocery store that was easy to walk to. A short drive will take you to towns with delicious restaurants for the travelers that want skip cooking and do some exploring. One of my favorite parts of the Forest Heights stay was the variety of areas available to relax. The cozy front porch, the well appointed living room, hot tub area, and a back yard with a fire pit to enjoy cool coastal evenings and a bottle of wine. Not to mention all the artful details like great landscaping and an awesome mural. I think these details show great care by the property owners.The rental has everything you need in the kitchen for heating up leftovers from one of the great restaurants close by, or making a full meal to enjoy along with the amazing views from the kitchen. All the bedrooms and bathrooms are also stocked with everything you need to be cozy and comfy. I highly recommend this vacation rental for couples, groups of friends, or multi-generational family visits. The split level, with a complete suite located downstairs, allows for the perfect amount of together time and the opportunity for space and privacy. If you’re going to Sonoma, this is the place to stay!

Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay at forest heights. The space was perfect with all the amenities we needed. Very close to Armstrong redwoods but our favorite part was the jacuzzi and the amazing views to the Russian river forest.
