Well, I finally got my son his wife and 10-month-old baby along with my daughter her husband and three children ages 5 to 10 and my girlfriend and I together for the first time ever show my grandchildren could meet each other since baby. Zoe is so little the house was everything I had hoped for and then some, plenty of room for the kids to burn off steam after spending the entire day at the river, kayaking, swimming fishing and enjoying our surroundings. The house is very clean and well equipped for everyone. The rooms were spacious the washer and dryer were a definite bonus proximity to the river was excellent. It took about two minutes to walk down there , I wished it had some sort of a fire pit for cooking s’more’s at night, but we managed to do without the house was very clean and extremely well equipped. I can’t wait till next year when we make this a reoccurring vacation destinations. I live very close by and yet felt like I was in another world Russian River vacation rentals did a great job, communicating and keeping me apprised of, everything to do around us highly highly recommend it

This place is adequate. Nothing fancy. well-equipped kitchen, good for several cooks at once. WiFi worked well. Large smart TV.
NOT for seniors, three of the bedrooms are upstairs. The fourth bedroom is on the ground floor, but the bed is soooo high, it is all most impossible to get in.
Although the bed was comfortable, the pillows suck.. Bring your own pillows.

The house was clean and comfortable and worked well for our group. There were a few things that surprised us like that there was no air conditioning. We did not need it but one day and we opened all the windows and doors which made it ok. Also there were some odd items that troubled us. The bathroom shower downstairs was hard to pull down for a shower. We learned that you need to do that first. The icemaker did not keep up so we bought ice. The sink faucet in the master bath is swiveling and needs to be tightened. The shower head in the master bath had the end chrome piece slipping off. There were some scratches on the wall in the master bedroom as well. The doors to the front patio and the upstairs deck were very tricky The instructions need to be clearer. It was also odd that there was not a traditional back door and you went through the garage. The house was also a bit further from the main downtown area than we thought but we managed. On the plus side the kitchen was incredibly stocked which made food preparation a breeze and the bench seating was great for our group. We also loved the couch. It was really comfortable. Thanks for making this so easy and all in all it was a great house for all of us.

The house is big and open- the kitchen could have been stocked better but they do have a big coffees maker which was awesome. I don't think I would stay again - the houses are built on top of each other and my boys were playing a game in the afternoon (30/32/34 years old) and had neighbor complaints. Also we weren't notified until we read it on the news that the river was closed (blue green alge) next time Healdsburg (where we ended up spending our time). The beds are not very high quality and I hate to give it a 3 but it's mostly the surrounding area and the rental agency. Ten days and still no deposit return.

This house was great for my three sons, their wives and us. The kitchen had beautiful appliances but wasn't stalked well with containers (no biggie). My reason for a 4 vs a 5 is the neighbors are very close (enough to complain when playing a game outside (at 4:30pm) and the river had a recent Blue Green Algae bloom that we weren't notified of until arrival. That made things hard to work around with a 10 month old AND us. It is close to the river but we couldn't use the river. Also the beds were not very comfortable, but the house had a great floor plan, which provided plenty of games around the big table. Thank you

Our family really enjoyed the Gillaroo House. We stay in a lot of vacation rentals and this is now one of our family's favorites. So Many houses we have stayed in were not clean even though the pictures looked ok on the website. We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and overall freshness of this house. The wood floors are very nice, the kitchen is updated with a large table, master bed is comfortable with a large bathroom, and our kids really enjoyed the bunk beds. We also like to cook and found the kitchen well stocked with pots and pans.
We had a total of 6 people (3 adults, 3 kids) and it was the perfect size.
The location of the house is also convenient. It's right at the end of Guerneville and on the other side of the river. Many restaurants are nearby and the Safeway is no more than a 10 minute drive. Since it was right after Christmas and chilly we did not participate in any water activities, but it would be a great spot had we wanted to do so. We spent most of our time exploring the neighboring towns and beaches. There are quite a few vineyards close by as well. Kind of exciting to pass by Korbel without even knowing it!
I will only make one very small complaint. The large clock in the kitchen does not work and we all found it annoying to look at the same time constantly for 6 days. It would be really nice if it actually kept time!

The house was wonderful, clean and modern and well maintained. Kitchen appears very new, equipment and appliances are fantastic--we cooked dinner and two breakfast/brunches for seven people--and the layout is spacious and open to the living area, so cooking and eating can be a cooperative and social activity. The long dining table has bench seats along the sides, which are naturally not quite as comfortable as individual chairs with backs, a bit more rugged. But the couches in the adjacent living area are spacious and comfortable, and conversation can extend between both. Bedrooms, beds, and baths were likewise modern, comfortable, and well maintained.

We celebrated my husband's birthday at Gillaroo house. It was very spacious, we had 8 people in our party and everyone had a bed to sleep in. The master bedroom is very beautiful. We liked sitting around the dining table. The kitchen is very spacious, well stocked with pots, pans, dishes. I would highly recommend it to others who have larger parties.
