UPDATE !! COVID safe retreat. Casa Colibri meets or exceeds the Sonoma County guidelines for short and long-term stays. Starting in June 2020, Casa Colibri , will be offering a 30 day rental package along with the shorter-term rental option. This is to help you easily cope with sheltering in place with your family or close friends and have a great time doing it. If you like to ride bicycles, enjoy bird watching, drink premium wines and enjoy a rural wine-country setting this a fully fenced single-story 3+ bedroom, 2-bath home is situated in the heart of Alexander Valley is for you! It is ideal for families and small groups who love wine, food, birds, bicycling, and the ambiance of wine country and are perhaps looking for a clean, private retreat but within minutes to downtown Healdsburg, Geyserville and Calistoga. It's an easy one-hour drive to San Francisco. There is parking for four cars including one covered spot. The private backyard looks out onto grapes, mountains and the Russian River riparian corridor. Bocce and Pétanque courts are new for 2018 and are regulation size for you serious players. If you are ping-pong players, an all-weather aluminum-top table is set up in the backyard. There is a regulation Bocce court, regulation Petanque court and the oddly named "corn hole" game. (I guess "bean-bag" is a wee unhip.)
There is an outdoor spa and shower. A solar panel array generates enough power to totally offset electrical usage. It also has an electric vehicle charging station which makes this a carbon-free getaway.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A "PARTY HOUSE". GOOD RELATIONS WITH MY RURAL NEIGHBORHOOD IS MORE IMPORTANT TO ME THAN A BOOKING. OCCUPANTS AND VEHICLES ARE LIMITED TO THE NUMBER SPECIFIED IN THE AGREEMENT.
