Racer Five - Dog Friendly-Walk to Town- Spacious, Pizza Oven, Garden!
About this house rental
Located in Guerneville, this charming house for £507 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Whether you're new to the Russian River or stayed here a hundred times, you will love Racer Five and its modern, yet comfortable, décor and vibe! Delightful new construction and a complete remodel (2014/15) resulted in a home for friends and family to getaway to wine country, play at the river and enjoy each other's company. Racer Five is a very tall three story home with the open gourmet kitchen, living and dining rooms, one bedroom and full bathroom on the upper level. A large deck houses the propane BBQ and outdoor seating for everyone. On the back of the house, facing a small creek, is a smaller deck with café seating for your morning coffee or afternoon glass of wine and a book. A custom made spiral staircase allows guest to travel between the upper and middle levels without stepping outside, but there are exterior stairs as well and a second large deck on the middle level with additional outdoor seating. The remaining four bedrooms, full bathroom and laundry room are on the middle level. The bathroom is off the hallway so there's no need to cut through a bedroom. There's plenty of room to spread out in the house or outside! A few words about cooking at Racer Five - it's an amazing experience! And building this gourmet kitchen was a labor of love. There are new stainless steel appliances and a professional grade Thermador range with 8 burners, double oven and barbecue/griddle on top. Top notch accessories throughout the kitchen and exceptionally good lighting make this the perfect place to make and share a meal with your best buddies and family. Kids, well-behaved dogs and adventurous chefs will love the fully fenced yard as well! With a third of an acre of majestic redwoods and new landscaping including a separately fenced veggie garden, you can't go wrong. Pick veggies and herbs to cook with during your stay. A tree fort and hammock will keep the kids occupied while adults fire up the outdoor wood fired pizza oven. There's ample seating by the outdoor grill and adjacent fire pit - don't forget the marshmallows! Everything you need is within walking distance! Across the historic walking bridge you'll find oodles of restaurants and cute shops (less than half a mile), Johnson's Beach (0.6 mile) with the best river access and sandy beach, and Riverkeeper Park (0.4 mile) featuring native plants and habitat with educational markers. On the south side of the river (same side as the house) you can walk to the Guerneville River Park (.3 mile), Pee Wee Golf (0.2 mile), and a kid's playground (0.3 mile) with tennis and basketball courts. Light sleepers, folks with kids and dogs should be aware the neighbor has a boisterous group of dogs. They will announce your arrival at the house and other, especially unfamiliar, noises. Know Before You Book: Maximum Occupancy and Quiet Hours The maximum occupancy at Racer Five is 10. Quiet hours are from 10:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. Outdoor amplified sound is prohibited at any time. Parking: On-site parking is permitted for a maximum of 5 vehicles; there is space in the driveway for up to 4 cars; additional street parking is available on a first-come first-served basis. RVs, trailers and campers are prohibited, per the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance. Bed Sizes: First Bedroom (Upper level): Queen Bed; Second Bedroom (Middle level): Queen Bed; Third Bedroom (Middle level): Queen Bed; Fourth Bedroom (Middle level): Two Twin Beds; Fifth Bedroom (Middle level): Two Twin Beds. Heat Source: Central Heat. A/C: The house does not have air conditioning. Being near the coast, the night time temps drop and just opening some windows is usually enough to cool the house. Stairs: Please be aware that guests must take stairs to access the living areas of the house. There are three flights of exterior stairs and a spiral staircase inside.

The location was top-tier and the accomodations were very nice. Only two issues were that the wifi was spotty and the dogs who lived next door barked non-stop all night and morning. We would stay here again.

We had a wonderful time with our medium-size group. You cannot beat the location so easy to walk into town. Just to note, it’s off a lightly trafficked street and across from an RV park but given the house is four stories high you do feel away from it.

Home was beautiful, had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and location was perfect. Easy drive to the vineyards and walk to the town for dinner. Thanks for everything!

We love this property. It is the second time we have stayed at this property and have enjoyed our stay. This property is in a great location within walking distance to just about everything. Just a stone’s throw from restaurants, bars, wine tasting, mini golf, river, Johnson’s beach, kayaking, etc. 30 minutes by car to the gorgeous Sonoma Coast and 20 mins to historic Duncan Mills or The Wildflower Bakery in Freestone. The house has most everything you could need including a gourmet kitchen with and amazingly large island to gather around, several decks, fire pits, tree house, garden, fantastic gas grill, outdoor tables for eating on the deck, huge wraparound sofa, and majestic redwoods right in the completely fenced yard. We LOVE this pet friendly home. We had lots of family fun and so happy to make memories with our loved ones roasting s’mores and having a ping pong tournament and just chasing the dog in the yard. The property is well kept, clean, and spacious. It is an absolute gem.

The Racer Five was an excellent lace to stay. Lots of room. Great sights from the windows. “Extras” on the property were great. (Tree house, Hammock, Pizza Oven, Fire Pit and garden. Be aware, there are four flights of stairs to get into the home totaling 50 stairs. There are only two bathrooms for five bedrooms. Although all the extras outside and inside far outweigh these two things.

We enjoyed the nearby river beaches, and the easy walk to town, and the wonderful fire pit with a circle of chairs in the evenings.
If you want to tube downriver, your best bet is to rent a real innertube, rather than purchase a cheap one. If you're just playing at the beach, the toy tube from one of the stores in town is fine.
Sweet town.

The property was was wonderful and supported 10 people comfortably. I could see how this would be a great choice in the summer with all of the outdoor spaces. My only negative is the neighbors have several dogs and I swear they added 2 more during our our stay. That being said I would stay there again.

Great house, terrible neighbors...
The house and location themselves were great! The home was well equipped for our needs, though the interior staircase was scary slippery sometimes. The garden and grounds were lovely, we really enjoyed the awesome yellow tomatoes!
The down side of this house is the next door neighbors and their dogs. The description of this home says that the dogs are “rambunctious”, which was misleading and a misstatement in my opinion, “loud as hell” would fit better.
We didnt hear a peep from the dogs until about 3 am on our first night, the dogs(of which there are 3!) barked nonstop until dawn. They barked on and off from then on.
Inconsiderete of the neighbors to say the least.
Also those poor dogs had little to no living space, just a bare concrete pad with bits of tarp here and there.

This was a clean home with most everything you need. Yes, neighbor's dogs bark constantly, but not that big of a deal. The bigger deal was the number of stairs to climb over and over, seems to be a recurring these in Guerneville homes. The yard set up was great, but we didn't eat down there because we didn't want to carry everything needed up and down those stairs. So we mostly cooked in the bbq and pizza oven and then trekked the food back upstairs to the top where the kitchen and living area was. If you like to cook on wood, bring your own as they supplied mostly pine. Very close to town, wineries, and not too far from the coast. Overall this was a nice place, but maybe a dumb waiter at least to move dishes and such back and forth.

This house was very comfortable for 9 ladies celebrating a weekend away. The pros: easy contact with rental company (including understanding the gate lock), awesome garden, great kitchen and appliances, proximity to town, outdoor space and lots of seating. Cons: barking dogs next door, lots of stairs which are def not handicap-able and you must climb up several flights to get in (warning to elderly), lacked very basic kitchen staples (no olive oil, salt, sugar, etc.), and the bathroom tub got gross because it did not drain.
Overall, it was clean and comfortable for a great price.
