The stay

Slip into the private saltwater pool and spa under towering redwoods after a day in Dry Creek Valley tasting rooms, just 2.2 miles from downtown Cloverdale. This dog-friendly tri-level home sleeps 8 across 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, with a screened porch, redwood deck, and fenced yard waiting at the end of the driveway.

The space

Spend mornings sipping coffee under the grape vine-covered pergola or stretching into yoga on the turf grass, afternoons exploring Dry Creek Valley (12.8 mi) and Alexander Valley (25.2 mi) tasting rooms or Michelin-star dining around Healdsburg (19.9 mi), and evenings dining on the redwood deck as the light shifts across the hills. Step upstairs into the main living area, where the charcoal sectional and white armchairs face the smart TV and a sliding glass door pulls the deck into the room. Pour a glass at the granite peninsula while dinner comes together on the stove — three bar stools handle breakfast, and the dining table seats the full group for a long Russian River (17.9 mi) wine night. Retreat downstairs to find every bedroom on the lower level, plus a separate den with twin daybeds and trundles that opens through glass doors to a screened porch perched among the trees. Sink into the primary suite's en-suite bath with a double vanity and walk-in shower lit by skylights and bench seating, then slide open the door for direct access to the pool. OUTDOOR LIVING Slip into the curved saltwater pool and attached spa, both edged in natural stone and shaded by mature trees (pool is not heated). Fire up the gas grill on the redwood deck, gather eight around the outdoor table, or claim the screened porch off the den when the afternoon sun gets bright. Artificial turf and full fencing keep the yard ready for dogs.

Neighborhood

You're tucked into the hills just above Cloverdale, where Sonoma County wine country still feels like a local secret. Downtown is just 2.2 miles away, where you'll find The Beet Restaurant & Wine Shop (1.6 mi) for farm-fresh dinners and Plank Coffee (1.6 mi) for your morning ritual. Stock up on provisions at Dahlia & Sage Community Market (1.6 mi), a beloved local grocer. Wine tasting starts practically at your doorstep — BobDog Wines (1.1 mi) offers intimate tastings, while Pine Mountain Vineyards (2.6 mi) showcases mountain-grown wines. For a fun evening, Wolf House Brewing (1.6 mi) pours craft ales with pub fare. Your dog will love nearby Cloverdale Dog Park (2.0 mi), and the whole family can explore Cloverdale River Park (0.8 mi) for Russian River access. Lake Sonoma's 2,700 acres of hiking, boating and swimming await just 15 minutes west.

Guest access

Lower into the curved resort-style pool and its integrated spa, then move dinner out to the covered outdoor dining room under exposed beams. You've got the whole home, dogs welcome, with a private hot tub, an enclosed yard, BBQ, and mountain and valley views from the deck. Punch in the keypad code on arrival, and pull up to three cars into the driveway.

Things to know

The tri-level layout means stairs between floors — something to consider for guests with mobility needs. While the home has efficient air conditioning for warm summer days, many guests find the hillside location stays naturally cool thanks to elevation and tree cover. The pool isn't heated, but the attached spa keeps you toasty year-round. That screened porch off the den becomes a favorite morning coffee spot — you might spot deer wandering through the property. The smart lock occasionally needs a patient touch; if it doesn't respond immediately, wait those 5 seconds before trying again. Your dog will love the enclosed yard, and Cloverdale is remarkably dog-friendly — many downtown restaurants welcome four-legged diners on their patios.

Spacious home and yard with pool. Plenty of shade in the yard which is fenced in. Beautiful sunsets which we watched every night

The Nest is lovely—a peaceful, well equipped home over looking the beautiful Alexander Valley wine region. Its pool and hot tub are special and provided lots of family fun for us. Hats off to the Whitney family for offering such a welcoming and enjoyable vacation experience.

DENNIS,

We came here for a low key birthday weekend with my husband and our two dogs. My only regrets are a) the vineyards weren't in bloom (we'll have to come back and b) we forgot our swimsuits (we'll have to come back). The house in beautiful and the views are amazing. The town of Cloverdale is adorable and we had so much fun exploring it. You can not go wrong renting this home.
