About this house rental

Situated in Monte Rio, this lovely house for $355 per night is a great option for your next break. Families love The Perfect View! It's centrally located in Monte Rio - walking distance to public beaches, boat rentals, restaurants, small market, skate park, and playground - and overlooking the Russian River. And the views!!! You'll relish the play of light on the river and redwood covered mountains across the valley as well as the steady stream of wildlife living in and around the river: otters, herons, ducks, swallows, turtles, and a wide variety of fish including Coho, Chinook, and Steelhead. The rear deck is the real gem - mostly covered for year round use - with a 2-person hot tub, gas BBQ, outdoor dining area, and additional seating. It's the perfect spot for breakfast or simply a cup of coffee while watching the fog burn off on a summer morning, relaxing throughout the day with a book, grilling up a storm for dinner and eating al fresco, followed by a soak in the hot tub. Hanging out at the house is effortless, but it's also a great jumping off point for day trips into the redwoods, the coast and along the river. While The Perfect View is perfectly situated on the Russian River, there is not direct access to the river from the house. We recommend walking downriver a quarter mile to Dutch Bill Beach (no services) or walking/driving across the river to the Monte Rio Beach where, in the summer, you can rent canoes/kayaks/inner tubes and supplement your picnic with food at the concession stands. The Perfect View is a hop, skip, and a jump to downtown Occidental - known for dueling, family-run Italian restaurants; an amazing seasonal farmer's market; and Howard Station Café - don't miss their breakfast. Know Before You Book: Maximum Occupancy and Quiet Hours: The maximum occupancy at The Perfect View is 4 guests. Quiet hours are from 10:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. Outdoor amplified sound is prohibited at any time. Parking: There is parking for 3 cars in front of the house. The garage is locked for storage. RVs, trailers and campers are prohibited, per the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance Bed Sizes: First bedroom: Queen bed; Second bedroom: Queen bed Heat Source: Central heat. Location: The Perfect View is located in a residential neighborhood and The Village Inn is the next door neighbor. Stairs: There is a flight of stairs from the parking area to the front door and another from the back deck to the backyard. Once inside the house, all the bedrooms and living areas are on one level. Fencing: The yard is fenced to the road but open to the river. The river bank is exposed - please keep an eye on kids playing in the backyard. Common Amenities not included: This home has an A/C unit in the kitchen that does a great job cooling the common areas of the house. There are ceiling and freestanding fans for the bedrooms. Proximity to wineries: The Perfect View is just under 5 miles to downtown Guerneville and several tasting rooms in town. Westside Road - with a fantastic number of vineyards and tasting rooms - is about 10 miles from the house. Nearest River Beach: While The Perfect View overlooks the river, it does not have direct access to the river or a beach. The Monte Rio Public Beach is slightly downriver and across the river. It's a half mile walk or drive. There is a closer beach on the same side of the river, a quarter mile walk, but it doesn't have boat rentals or concessions in the summer. Nearest Ocean Beach: The closest ocean beaches are in Jenner approx. 9 miles away. Sonoma County TOT Number: 3603N Sonoma County Vacation Rental Permit: TVR19-0098

We Loved everything. It Is the Perfect View. Clean, updated, full kitchen supplies. And, even a Lot of things similar to home for me! Wish there was a chair in the hot tub. LOL. We kind of sunk quickly. I would love to ask about the man (Patriarch?) of the family's picture in the kitchen. He looked like someone I would have enjoyed. It also seems you have been there awhile.....might you remember Nancy Smith who I think owned the Yellow House? I 30 years ago used to spend time there when she owned it. Memories!!! We hope to be back!!!! Soon!

Our family of 4 (2 adult children) stayed 3 nights in this cozy space on the river. We loved the feel of being far away in the woods but close enough to purchase what we forgot and a short drive from our home. We spent time on the deck, in the hot tub, and bundled up on the couch relaxing. The 2 recommendations we have are to notify visitors that they need to turn on the water heater (we didn't realize this until wanting to shower the next morning) and that the kitchen had no pantry items at all (flour, sugar, spices, etc). Everything was clean, organized, and the management/check-in information was easy to follow. We did enjoy our stay and would rent this home again.

The Perfect View was a lovely cabin with just that-the perfect view of the Russian River! Loved it! My husband and I enjoyed a very relaxing stay in this cozy cabin with all the comforts of home. Plan to return!

We loved the view of the river and the ability to watch birds and people on the river. We found the house well-stocked and very comfortable. Not sure why the website didn't include children, as the house was fine for families, especially since the second bedroom is bunkbeds! Our 15 year old granddaughter came with us and we joined other family members staying nearby. The downside was lack of river access, as we brought our own kayaks and paddle board. We ended up leaving them at the other property with deck/river access. Not putting out chair cushions on the patio seating due to Covid restrictions, seemed silly, as the house had plenty of other soft surfaces requiring some sort of disinfectant and we could have taken the dining chair cushions out. As it was, we used folded towels. The other property provided plenty of cushioned seating.
