Why This Home Stands Out
Heart of the River brings wellness, nature, and Russian River fun together in one unique Guerneville getaway. Walk to the river, start the morning in your private yoga studio, soak in the hot tub, or retreat to the detached guest casita for a little extra space. A peaceful garden setting and chef’s kitchen make this an especially inviting home for reconnecting, relaxing, and slowing down.


Living Spaces
The bright, inviting living area features comfortable seating, peaceful garden views, a Smart TV, and cozy gas fireplace. Warm natural light and an easy indoor-outdoor flow create a relaxing home base after river days, redwood hikes, and Wine Country adventures.


Kitchen & Dining
The chef’s kitchen features granite counters and generous prep space for everything from casual breakfasts to special dinners at home. A large dining table surrounded by windows creates a welcoming gathering place, while the gas BBQ and outdoor dining deck take meals into the garden.


BEDROOMS & SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Bedroom 1 — Queen Bed
A peaceful Queen bedroom surrounded by the redwood setting.

Bedroom 2 — Full Bed
A comfortable bedroom filled with warm natural light.

Bonus Bedroom / Office — Twin Bed
A flexible sleeping space with a Twin bed and dedicated workspace.

Guest Casita — Sofa Sleeper
A separate detached space with a sofa sleeper and arcade game, giving guests an additional place to sleep, play, or spread out.


Bathrooms
One full hallway bathroom serves the main house with a comfortable, functional layout.
An outdoor shower adds another refreshing option after river adventures or a soak in the hot tub.


Outdoor Living
Heart of the River is designed for slowing down and enjoying the outdoors. Soak in the private hot tub, practice in the yoga studio, dine outside beneath the trees, grill dinner on the gas BBQ, or rinse off under the outdoor shower. Peaceful garden surroundings and multiple outdoor spaces create plenty of opportunities to relax and reconnect with nature.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A total 5star home. Not a house but a home away from home. From the moment you walk in you can see and feel the love that went in to make your stay memorable. Everything and I mean everything top of the line. You need to bring only your food. It was more than a stay it was an experience. The spice draw was amazing and so unexpected. Guerneville is another experience all to itself. Ocean sunsets a short drive away. I will definitely be back again and again. I’m not good with writing how I feel so should you’d like to contact me I’d be happy to talk with anyone. Rental service knows how to get in touch with me. Remember you need bring nothing but yourselves and food.
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2026
Generally had a lovely stay and the home was cute and comfortable. Beds and linens were very nice. Property listing was a bit confusing/inconsistent in listing as a 2 or 3 BR. Third sleeping area is in an outbuilding without a bathroom. Some dishes needed to be washed/rinsed, and the outdoor area needed a little cleanup to enjoy easily. Just needed a little seasonal freshen up, but otherwise the space was nice and we enjoyed our time.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Clean rooms, amazing property, close to the areas we were visiting. We will come back next year. Only recommendation and if I missed it I apologize but a big push broom to clear off the steps, patio and hot tub area. We tried our best to keep the home clean and leaves, debris out of the hot tub but a garage style push broom would hwv helped. Again if I missed it my bad. Can't wait to come back next year!!!

The place was pleasant and cozy. However, did have some ants at the kitchen sink area :(. Other than that, very enjoyable!
