OVERVIEW
__________
Can sleep up to 10* & 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 (500mbps), Smart TV with surround sound bluetooth speakers, 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 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 500mbps 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.
• Conversation Area (Full size sofa-futon, coffee table)
• Forest Views
• Dosey Doe Deer Promenade window view

In the Trees!
Cool cabin, lots of communication with host. Hummingbirds were amazing, there were hundreds. Didn’t realize both bathrooms were on the lowest floor so the top floor bedroom had a two story walk down when facilities were needed. Roads are extremely narrow to get to house and we were expecting an easier route to the river. Great spot for folks looking for an “off the beaten path” stay. Treehouse feeling was great.

Great place
Place is a real gem: Beautiful views of the Russian River valley from the house and from several decks; Spacious and comfortable inside; Hot tub outside on deck with beautiful view of the valley; easy walk to water. We also did some nearby hikes and spent time in the lovely town of Healdsburg. Owner Stephen and manager Tenay were great hosts.

Foggy Magical Forest Views
Not my first stay here and will not be my last! This time I brought human friends instead of my puppers. We were awed by the stunning greens and morning fog ribbons across the forested view, all from the warmth of the spa with a house-made cappuccino in hand. As always, I love the decor throughout the home, and the oh so comfy sofas facing that storybook view. It was a short trip, so not enough time to use the kayaks, but we took advantage of the off-season and packed in a lot of local tastings. They even treated us to some free wine tasting vouchers at some local family owned wineries which was a treasured bonus. The hosts had great recommendations from food to wineries and it was clear they wanted us to have a special trip. thank you for everything!

Wonderful time in Sonoma!
We had a lovely family vacation at Stephen's house. The hummingbirds and views were stunning and we loved being on the mountain close to the beach. Communication was very easy and thorough. We came during a heat wave and the AC units struggled a bit to keep up at times, but it was 100 degrees plus so very understandable.

Girls' Weekend Getaway
The location is remote and peaceful with great views and minutes from Healdsburg. We would recommend the Wine Country Walking Tour with Greg (amazing!) We also did an exciting self-guided raft trip with Russian River Adventures. The hot tub at Fitch Mtn Lookout was a welcome treat after rafting. The only challenge of FML is, if you are in the top bedroom, it's 2 flights down to the bathroom in the night but the stairs have nice lighting. The hosts are very responsive with any questions you might have. Great find!!

Service and attention equal to a high-end boutique hotel
As professionally managed and hosted a VRBO accommodation as I have experienced. Everything is thought of in advance, including mapped and detailed instructions to a somewhat remote location, to the two river beaches within a short walk of the house, etc. The idea is, I think, to avoid the frustrations one can sometimes feel in these types of arrangements when these types of things are not clear. The large house, numerous decks, first-class Weber BBQ grill, intentional attraction to the house of dozens of humming birds and other birds each day, the sight of mother and baby deer just below our deck, first-class hot tub, stupendous views, set-up with kayaks and large river tubes, immediate responses to every question (like a concierge) — you get the picture.

Why they chose this property

WHY I FELL IN LOVE WITH FML (Fitch Mountain Lookout)

Fitch Mountain Lookout is located in Sonoma Valley Wine Country, in the heart of where the appellations of Alexander Valley, Russian River Valley, & Dry Creek Valley converge. We are located on Fitch Mountain in a rural country Healdsburg neighborhood where deer, humming birds, various wild birds (Orioles, Junkos, Siskin Pine, Gold Finches) visit our yard daily. From our beautiful vistas, it is common to watch Egrets, Osprey & Herons fly below along the river's edge; during spring the colorful swallows put on amazing acrobatics.

Fitch Mountain Lookout may feel completely removed from the world, but we are still just 2 miles (5 minute drive) from the Healdsburg town square, only a few minutes walk down to the river to a semi-private beach for swimming/tubing. (We do recommend guests w/very young children drive, more detailed information & directions for both beaches are provided upon booking). We are only a few miles drive to the Russian River Valley, Dry Creek Valley, and Anderson Valley Vineyards, so hire a driver & spend the day enjoying the views, vines, & of course, the wine! With only a slightly farther drive, you'll reach the lovely Sonoma Lake! Stop at the Dry Creek General Store on the way for some picnic fixings & enjoy them from the incredible elevated view points! Craving some salty ocean air? FML is less than an hour (@ 40 miles) from the majestic Bodega Coastlines, full of activities, curiosities, & good eats. If you are craving big city tourist attractions, in @ an hour, you can be at the beautiful Golden Gate Bridge (& Headlands) looking at the San Francisco skyline.

• Russian River, 5 minute walk
• Del Rio Woods, less than a 10 minute walk
• Healdsburg Town Square, 5 minute drive
• Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander River Valley, 10 minute drive
• Bodega Coast, 40 minute drive
• San Francisco, @1 hour drive

What makes this property unique

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO WORK (OR STUDY) ON VAYCAY...

We have an amazing office space! Is working remotely necessary in between wine tasting & river tubing? We have you covered! While both the Duncanson & Van Gogh rooms have lounge areas with ample space to set up your mobile workspace (and the former also has a desk and chair), sometimes you need more room to stay organized, or maybe you just want to keep it out of sight from the rest of your vacation experience--we have you covered! Fitch Mountain Lookout also has a separate office area right next to the (seasonal) air conditioning. This spacious office area is equipped with an extra large L-shaped desk station, ergonomic padded office chair, and has a robust 400mps Wi-Fi that make any video calls a breeze. Surrounded with office art any Star Wars fan will love & gorgeous forest views—it will definitely reduce the sting of having to tend to business. With a sliding glass door that leads straight to the Coffee & Cuddles Deck with even more Russian River Valley views, fresh air breaks are easy, and might be hard to resist.

PET STAY AND PLAY KIT
Do Fido and Fidette need a vacation too? Bring them along! We are thrilled to host your well-behaved furry family members!
