It was absolutely amazing ❤️

This property is a hidden gem, offering a perfect blend of privacy and comfort in a picturesque neighborhood. The property has top-notch amenities and a cozy, welcoming ambiance. It was super clean and thoughtfully arranged, making it feel like a home away from home. The best part was the well equipped kitchen and plush living areas added to the comfort. The surroundings contribute to a restful and rejuvenating visit. There are a lot of vegetarian options around the town. It is an ideal retreat for those seeking tranquility with modern conveniences. I highly recommend it and eagerly await my next visit.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. We loved the outdoor spaces and will definitely be back!

Even though there are neighbors on either side, the homes are scattered and the landscape provides a privacy barrier. The views are nice and the property was laid out well. Hot tub was nice in the cold night. We brought our dogs and they loved running all around. The neighbors next door have dogs that bark and snarl like they want to find a way through the fence. It scared me at first but my dogs ignored them (just something to be aware of). The Redwoods are 3 hours away and the coast was just a short 30 minutes. We would definitely stay here again.

The intent of this trip was for wine tasting and I will say, in that regard, it is a bit of a winding road drive to the wineries. The house is older but very clean and updated (but still squeaky floors and door stops needed). The deck view is wonderful! Plenty of space, beautiful redwoods. The gate was a little challenging (it would use wheels on the bottom) but it did keep it secure and safe with pets. The road to the house is steep, so use a low gear. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would stay there again.

We love staying at the Russian River and felt lucky to find this house last minute. It’s a great, relaxing location for a couples getaway and the backyard is huge. There were a couple hiccups that the property management company handled promptly and with professionalism. Highly recommend!

This home was in a nice quiet neighborhood, beautifully landscaped, well equipped with everything you might need especially in the kitchen. It was nicely decorated and super comfortable. The only downside was that one of the bathroom sinks was so small that it was barely usable. I have never seen a sink that small!! The comforters could use a good cleaning also to freshen them up(they did not smell clean)! Other than those minor items, we really enjoyed our stay!

We so enjoyed our time here! The house is clean, lovely and so well stocked, including the kitchen. Would definitely recommend and stay again ourselves should we be in the area again.

The location was good for everything:the river, hiking, grocery etc. It was nice to be away from the city noise, and we enjoyed the quiet & beautiful nature right in their backyard. The owner was nice and prompt to respond when we contacted her during the stay.

We booked last minute, Debi with WC Lodging was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed to access the property on time. The view and outdoor spaces are spectacular, pictures do not do it justice. Bed was very comfortable and kitchen well stocked. Two big bonuses for us were the electric car charger and the property is completely fenced so dogs are secure. Another benefit is very few chores to complete before leaving. Very clean and well run, highly recommend.

The house is very functional, cozy, warm and nicely decorated. The fully fenced, well landscaped backyard with a large hot tub very enjoyable. It was raining so much that we did not get to enjoy the deck and outside too much… but we will be back! Thank you for your hospitality!
5.0
The property is situated up the hill from the river surrounded by redwoods. The indoor/outdoor space was ideal for families and dogs. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was clean and well maintained. It rained for most of our stay so we spent a lot of time in the main room with the fire going and enjoying the hot tub. Communication with the owners was seamless and timely and we are already planning a return to this property. In short, this rental checked all our boxes and we had an amazing visit!

Loved or stay here!!!! Felt like our own mini resort. Love the front and back fully fenced yards. Great views from all decks and hot tub. Enjoyed listening to podcasts while resting in the hammocks. It was a restorative and peaceful stay.

We have always loved Sonoma County but there is something extra special about west county. If you are looking for a tranquil wooded retreat with the convenience of being close to town you could not find a better place.
The house itself is so clean and charming with its modern rustic feel. Everything feels like it is there on purpose. But the real gem of the property is the outdoor space. We spent most of our time on the deck surrounded by the trees with a view of a mountain. We enjoyed the foggy, misty mornings and starry nights outside.
I wish I could stay a month!
Guernville has always been a favorite of mine. Close to Santa Rosa and Sebastopol and there are so many nice roads to drive and small towns to stop in. You’re close to the coast and Armstrong redwoods. Everywhere you turn is beautiful!
Absolutely loved this stay!

Everything was charming, the view and outdoors were amazing. Everything we needed was on hand. The extra firm beds were not our cup of tea at all. But everything else was fabulous!

Lovely property
We truly enjoyed our stay. This is a lovely and very comfortable property. We enjoyed the hot tub with the views of the forest
and the stars at night. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked with every small appliance and specialty pan you would ever need.
We really enjoyed cooking here. This is a well cared for property and we would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in this home for 7 days/nights to escape the summer heat of the Coachella Valley where we live. It was a perfect respite to relax, decompress and commune with nature. We spent a lot of time on the back deck; the furniture was very comfortable and the views of the ravine are awesome. There are four separate seating areas on the property - from the casual environment in the "bottom yard" to the high end sofa/chairs in the front yard area; and we enjoyed all four - depending on the time of day, whether you want to sit in the sun or shade, etc. The king bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable - and we loved sleeping with the window open, listening to nature. The kitchen and bathrooms are well-stocked and upgraded enough to enjoy a long stay. The walk to town was beautiful - through the redwoods and down the lanes - and although the hill to the house was a bit steep, we're both in our mid-50's and had no problem tackling the climb. Finally, the neighbors were very friendly and inviting (and quiet!). We walked our dog in the area at least twice daily and got to meet many fun and welcoming owners in this neighborhood. In sum, this is a great centrally located home if you want to explore the coast, wine country and the San Francisco/Bay area. We easily visited all of these areas and used this house as a "home base."

The property was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. It sits on a hill with a patio, front door, living space and deck on the top level. Below that level is a hot tub and shaded lounge chairs. The lowest level has hammocks and more lounge chairs. We visited in July and the plums and berries were ripe. There was also a tomato and zucchini that were ripe. The beds were comfortable. There is a king size bed and a bathroom w/ a shower In one room and a queen size bed in the other room. The hallway bathroom has a roomy shower along with a washer & dryer. The property is fully fenced and our daughter’s pup enjoyed herself. The location is perfect. It’s only a 20 minute drive to spectacular beaches and downtown Guerneville a five minute drive if that. We stayed three nights but we could have stayed longer. Plan to spend at least one night eating at home grilling on the deck and soaking in the hot tub.

The privacy of both the front and the back yard was a pleasant surprise. Plenty of space to just luxuriate in the sun, read a book, or soak in the hot tub.

My husband, dog and I stayed at this house in late May 2021. We were nervous because this was our first vacation rental since the pandemic and we were concerned about cleanliness and privacy. The home and property/views were both a breath of fresh air and exceeded our expectations! It was well maintained, clean and fully stocked (towels, cleaning products, shampoo/conditioner, kitchen appliances, smart tv, hot tub, etc).
The views from the deck and yard are of a vast, gorgeous forest and everything felt quite private and peaceful. The yard was enclosed and private so our dog could roam around and enjoy as much as we did. The location of the home is right near the Russian River, downtown, and pretty central to wine tasting and coastal destinations. Our stay was relaxing and absolutely wonderful. We will definitely be coming back to stay in the future. We loved it!
