FIREFLY LODGE is a beautiful, private, rustic and elegant riverfront home. Firefly enjoys a spectacular location on the Russian River, with unspoiled natural views. The home is in the very heart of Sonoma County Wine Country, and close to everything. It's just one mile from Healdsburg's city limits, but its tranquil, relaxing location feels worlds apart. The home welcomes you and invites you to unwind. Share cozy gatherings around the river rock fireplace, sink into soft leather sofas, and enjoy private views of the Russian River, or venture out into one of the kayaks and paddle the afternoon away.

.... Firefly is just minutes from Healdsburg, with its tree shaded, historical, central plaza, around which everything in this part of wine country revolves. Stroll to acclaimed restaurants, charming shops, art galleries, winery tasting rooms. From Firefly Lodge it's only a 4 mile drive to world-class vineyards in three distinct wine growing regions(Alexander, Dry Creek and Russian River Valleys), and only two miles to the Healdsburg Golf Club.
.... The home has a chef-pleasing, contemporary kitchen with all the cookware and utensils needed to serve 12 around the large rustic dining table. There's a covered deck for comfortable outdoor dining, and a gas BBQ for grilling.
.... Its river's edge location is one of the choicest spots around for spectacular views and unspoiled beauty. Enjoy the private beach with excellent swimming and boating, in season. We even provide two kayaks for your use. Or choose to lounge in the riverview hot tub for five.
... Sleep peacefully on rustic log beds with pillow-top, queen-size
mattresses and soft white linens.
.... Firefly Lodge's casual, rustic elegance, spectacular location,
and careful provision for its guests' comfort and enjoyment, make it
an incredible wine country getaway.
.... The comfortable accommodations serve 8-12 guests.

Visit our WineCountryLodges website to view all four of our distinctive riverfront homes (varying in size and amenities) to choose the one that suits you perfectly. Or, you may call us, toll free 866-786-2778.

Northwoods Lodge, just four doors from Firefly on the same riverfront lane, sleeps 4-8. Impressive Riverwood Lodge sleeps 8-14, and the Old River Lodge, a "classic" with gorgeous views, sleeps 6-9.

The beautiful riverside settings are tranquil, and the soothing sounds of the passing river help de-stress and relax our guests needing a break from fast paced city life. Listen to nature's sounds and unwind while enjoying charming accomodations, comfortable beds, a cozy fire, and a slower pace. At Wine Country Lodges, we've been inviting guests to enjoy the simple pleasures of Sonoma County Wine Country for nearly five years.

Currently, it's just showing signs of spring in Wine Country, and it's one of the many perfect times of year for a visit. Some fruit trees have begun to blossom, buds are appearing, the vineyards are dormant, with the vines resting in perfect rows above a carpeting of the tender blades of newly sprouted grass. The roads are less traveled, the days are becoming pleasantly warm and sunny, and a bike ride through the vineyards will offer views of the transition between seasons. It's a great time to escape the pressures and pace of city life for a rejuevinating retreat, and winter rates are enticingly low.

You may call us toll free 866-786-2778 for more details and information on our properties, or to check availability.
