Irish Mist ~ Amazing Views and Deck! BBQ, Dog Friendly!
About this cabin rental
Over the river and through the woods, to Irish Mist we go! Feeling nostalgic? Irish Mist is a classic riverfront Russian River vacation rental with original knotty pine interior, antique furnishings, a large sunny deck overlooking the river, and a private year-round river dock. This multi-level home features a downstairs living room with wood floors, high, open beam ceiling, and gas fireplace. A separate dining area offers river views and French doors leading to a homey kitchen. Sliding glass doors lead to a large river-facing deck. Upstairs, there are 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom (bathtub/shower combination). Plus, a family room with large windows and a sofa bed for additional sleeping space faces the river. The downstairs living area includes a bedroom, full bath, kitchen, a separate dining room and a sunny deck. From the back deck, stairs lead to a private river dock - a great spot for sunbathing or swimming during summer months. Irish Mist is located one mile west of downtown Guerneville and is walking distance to two restaurants and a dog friendly public beach. Russian River Valley wineries and the Sonoma Coast (Bodega Bay and Jenner) are a short drive away! Know Before You Book: Maximum Occupancy and Quiet Hours: The maximum occupancy at Irish Mist is 8. Quiet hours are from 10:00 pm until 7:00 am. Outdoor amplified sound is prohibited at all times. Parking: There is space in the driveway for 3 vehicles (the garage is used for storage and is not available for guest use). RVs, trailers, and campers are prohibited, per the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance. Bed Sizes: Master bedroom: Queen bed; Second bedroom: Queen bed; Third bedroom: 2 Twin beds; Living room: Queen sofa bed. Heat Source: Gas fireplace, central heat. A/C: The house does not have air conditioning. Being near the coast, the nighttime temps drop and just opening some windows is usually enough to cool the house. Summer Rotation Day: SUNDAY During the peak season, which runs from June 19th through the end of the 3rd week in August, Irish Mist has a 7-night minimum and rents on a Sunday to Sunday pattern. If you make an online reservation outside of this rotation day requirement, we may contact you about altering your dates. Docks and Boats: Docks and beaches are seasonal only and available from mid-June to mid-September providing the summer dams are in. Irish Mist does not provide canoes or kayaks. The river is usually too swift for boating in the winter and many docks and beaches are under water until late spring. Sonoma County TOT #: 2114 Sonoma County Vacation Rental Permit #: ZPE11-0217

Only had 7 (including my wife and I) people for 4 days. 4 people for 4 days, and 3 people for 4 days. First time renting a house without any boats. Kids and guests missed boating. Winds cooled the house every afternoon, even when temps were in the 90's. Great neighbors next door. Papers say I have a lab. Yet 3 years old and still not going in the water, Hmmmm. Saw no blue algae this year. Saw an egret and a couple of blue heron. Great time to swim 6:30 - 7:30am. Peaceful and no sun for us skin cancer people.

Grandmas furniture is not quaint, it is tired and worn out. The dishwasher barely worked, many important light bulbs were burned out and no replacements. Don’t get me started on the terrible shower downstairs, the dock is to high from the water to put our kayaks in from, the outlets are so old when you plug something in it just falls out-fire danger, it was just a huge expensive disappointment. Couldn’t wait to leave.

This was such a quaint property. Access to the dock via stairs and blow up toys were a plus we weren’t expecting! There was a slight maintenance issue, but after a quick call Brian showed up and fixed everything up so fast. He was so nice! Very personable and was so great ti chat with while he worked. I spoke with several ladies at the office (forgive me I can’t remember their names) but they were so great and I loved being here. Everything was clean and as described in the website. I did NOT bring my fur babies with me, but you’d never know pets were allowed(no smell or hair). The neighborhood was really nice. And quiet hours were honored by the whole street which was so nice. Would definitely reccomend if you’re bringing The whole family!!!!

The house was clean and we had excellent communication before check in and during our stay. It was an exceptionally warm weekend and the river access and dock were perfect! The water was low flow and many people were kayaking on the river already. Everyone went swimming and then hung out at the deck and later on the porch and bbq. Plenty of parking which was nice, and lots of room for my whole family.
Overall a great time and a lovely location.

We have stayed at this house before. It's a great location, and very comfortable. This time the house was beginning to be in disrepair. It is still functional and comfy (the beds are super comfortable). But...outlets not working, dishwasher not working, ripped screen, dingy/chipped paint, one door had a hinge off it, carpet stains...that kind of thing. It just doesn't look like it's been maintained. We still had a great time, but hopefully someone can put some LOVE back into this house! Regardless of all those details, it's still an amazing location. You sit out on the deck, and just enjoy peacefulness of the river. And the dock is great - right at a deep part so you can do cannonballs off the dock. And we always rent kayaks and have them delivered. We all had a great time at this house!

Just completing our stay in this very comfortable and roomy home on the river. Lovely, wood living room with gas fireplace leads into a well equipped kitchen and dining area. Plenty of cooking utensils, dishes, pots and pans. We had no needs for the preparing of our Thanksgiving Meal! Great wrap around deck was dog secure, a real convenience since we had significant rain during our stay and the road infront of the property flooded making walking our pet a bit challenging! Plenty of sleeping space with upstairs and downstairs bedrooms well separated giving everyone some privacy as well. The upstairs sitting area has a lovely view of the river. If you like to dine out, Guerneville's main street is virtually one restaurant after another, something I would let the Chamber of Commerce know is not a great recipe for economic success! There was a couple of Recycled Clothing Stores, a stain glass showroom and a great 5-10 Cent store with a bit of everything for sale. I would honestly say Irish Mist is a lovely, comfortable home to stay in with excellent river access. We would definitely recommend it and would return to stay again.

Relaxing Sister Weekend was a success with this view and the quiet of the area. The deck was amazing for coffee and reading each morning and wine and conversation each night. The one thing we noticed was each flooring change on the 1st floor also had a height change by an inch or sometime two which tripped us up at the beginning of our stay, bathroom to hall, living room to kitchen - a bit odd.

It was everything we were looking for! Beautiful fireplace and great room that was fantastic for sitting and watching Netflix while chatting. Nice, big dining table that accommodated all of us perfectly. Big deck with gates. River was too high and fast for floating, but it gets sun on the deck and was nice for drinking coffee. A bit hard to find later at night, but it worked out. Bring extra blankets because it gets cold and we couldn't find too many extras! Comfy beds, Lots of extra pillows, though, and a great selection of magazines and games. Wifi was good. Close to town and activities in the Russian River area.
Cons:
- no sponge or scrubby for handwashing dishes - had to use paper towel for scrubbing.
- ants (only on first floor?); but it's in the woods, so this is to be expected.
- AT&T cell service was spotty, so if you *need* to use phone, make sure it's Verizon or Sprint.
Would definitely visit here again!

Great family get away
For the past few years my family and I have rented the Irish mist for my mothers birthday. Its spacious, so you don't feel so on top of one another which is nice with a large group. Even though it spacious and roomy, its tall wood ceilings, cute quaint dining room, and big cozy fireplace, make it feel like your home away from home! I have written it in the guest book, and I'll write it here, if you ever sale the Irish mist please contact Dave and Jacqueline Lopez from Windsor ca. You can call the rental company and get our info! :•) A+++ we love this place!

Our family loved the house
Irish Mist is a place we'd love to return to. Having met the owners who are wonderful, we were eager to spend some multi-generational time there late July. The house is spacious, allowing for everyone to both be together and have time alone. We enjoyed the sunny deck, as well as the gas fireplace for cool mornings and evenings. Being able to have pets was also a plus. While there are many stairs to get down to the large permanent dock, they are sturdy with railings and worth the steps to get to the river where there is also a small beach directly on the opposite shore. The newer upstairs area was also useful for families having an open room with a window wall facing the river, and two bedrooms (one with 2 twin beds which we needed) and a bath. The street is quiet and only a mile from the town of Guerneville.

We had a relaxing time.
Irish Mist is a spacious home with good amenities. I have previously noted that the upper deck needs another gate to make it truly "dog friendly." I had to use the trash cans to close the open area so that my dog would be corralled. Also, the living room needs more lighting. It is pretty dark. These are minor complaints. We liked the place very much.

Girl's Weekend
Went with some girlfriends for a quiet weekend away. Had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Plenty of room for hanging out as a group in or out doors and lounging around. Also visited Korbel and some wineries, enjoyed a scenic drive, and did a little shopping with a moderate drive.
