A note from the rebuild

Starlight Grove

A beloved house by the creek, returning in a new form.

The house next door on Mill Creek, loved for the treehouse, the pizza oven, and life spent by the water.

The winter storm took a great deal of it. We are rebuilding, slowly and carefully. The pizza oven and the treehouse remain, and the house will come back in a new form.

Healdsburg, California · Expected to return in 2028
