Extended family vacation

Would stay again! We all really enjoyed this location and access to the river. It was very convenient for the local 2 mile Steelhead to Sunset Beach float (just float past Sunset Beach to get home)! The property was clean, comfortable, and had all of the listed amenities. The separate entrance and living space downstairs worked out very well for extended family to have their own space during our stay. I would recommend this host and location!

A fantastic family stay!

This home was a wonderful place to spend time together and relax. We very much loved the hot tub and river access! We cooked every meal during our stay and loved the well equipped kitchen. Our crew did a river float, played games, visited the Forestville farmers market, enjoyed 3 wine tasting locations, took naps and just enjoyed our time together. Thanks for the good times!

Warm and cozy

We spent a wonderful time tucked into this very clean, warm and cozy house in the redwoods. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and enjoy the rainy days. Both the sauna and the hot tub were loved by our group. The hosts were very kind and responsive. We highly recommend this property.

Wonderful place to relax in the trees and river

Excellent hot tub, sauna, and master bath/shower. It was absolutely fabulous to sit on the covered outdoor couch and watch the birds in the trees between dips in the hot tub. While neighboring houses aren't too far away (100' maybe,) the thematic landscaping and architectural elements are effectively setup to make it a private and peaceful environment. There is about 80-90% tree cover, so it is very shady and cool during the heat of the day. River access is good, right on a very shallow section of the river that is refreshing to sit in on the provided chairs. Kayaks were a blast.

Family gathering

We truly enjoyed our stay at Alex’s lovely home. Our favorite part was the Asian-themed outdoor wrap-around decks under the redwoods. One deck has a very nice hot tub with a table & chairs where we enjoyed playing games in the afternoon. In the morning sunshine the opposite deck was where we enjoyed our breakfast. All the while our little Maltipoo had free run around the decks & we didn’t have to worry about her because it was fully enclosed The house was well equipped with everything you would want for your vacation stay. Our only regret was that the steps leading down to the river were a little too treacherous for the older adults in our party. Otherwise, if you want to enjoy the redwoods and a peaceful stay, this is your place.

Well equipped home! Great stay.

This was the most well equipped VRBO rental home we have ever stayed in. Kitchen is well stocked with supplies of all kinds, laundry facility easy to use if needed, floats and kayaks for guest use, multiple outdoor tables for dining or playing games/reading. The stairs down to the river are fairly steep but well maintained, if you have back or mobility issues they might be challenging but easy beach River access is also just a short 5 min drive away. The space worked well for our family of 6 including grandparents and two kids. Great stay, would recommend to other families the spacing is great for time together but also privacy as needed/wanted.

Magical, decorated beautifully and so clean

This property is so unique and squeaky clean! The linens and decor are like staying in a luxury hotel. The spa is to die for, the two decks are stunning and large. The kitchen has EVERYTHING You could need. My partner and I are cooking snobs and we usually bring our own supplies and kept smiling when we realized the house had many of the items that we had ready in the car! There were plenty of towels and blankets and room to settle in. We had so much fun. YOU MUST GO HERE!!! We came home so relaxed!!!

Peaceful Getaway

This was a happy option to spend a quiet Thanksgiving holiday with our young-adult kids. The sauna, hot tub and kayaks were wonderful features that we used often. Living among the tree tops felt like we hoped. The one downside was that neighbors were in close proximity when we thought it would be less populated. It didn't affect our visit, but our expectations were a little off in that respect.

Unique hideaway

This is a lovely home tucked away in the forest and was perfect for our family vacation. The separate downstairs area was ideal for our adult children to have some time away! Would have loved more time in the outdoor spaces but the rain just didn’t cooperate with us. Maybe next time!

Happy with our choice

Great house! Clean, updated, fresh and welcoming. All amenities we needed were at our fingertips. The rooms were more than adequate for our family, kitchen was stocked very well, as were all the bathrooms. The hot tub at the charming yard was a great bonus and the cozy sauna was a gem. We loved the access to the river across the street and the kayaking experience was an unbelievable fun! We had a few questions during our stay and Alex responded to all our questions immediately. Thank you for the joy and delight of staying at such a lovely place!

What a treat!

What a fabulous time we had at this property. This was our first time at this rental but second time renting a place on the river. This rental did not disappoint. The photos do a wonderful job of displaying the amenities offered: relaxing atmosphere, hot tub, sauna, comfortable beds, and river kayaks/chairs. We would most definitely love to return to this vrbo. COMMUNICATION WITH HOST - Alex provided all the details about the contactless check-in process with detailed directions, including photos. So clever. LOCATION OF PROPERTY - Aside from the beautiful photos, one of the reasons we chose this particular property was how easy it was to get to, meaning this location was just a few miles off 101, so the windy roads were less troublesome for some kids who may get carsick. We had previously stayed more west - and while it was lovely - it was a longer drive on windy roads, something to think about if you have people who have issues with that. This drive was a breeze - and it still provided a beautiful location, serene and gorgeous, away from that city life. RIVER ACCESS If you have trouble with stairs, this may be the only issue you may have. We didn't have a problem, but our kids are older (teen and young adult), so it was no big deal. I'm also confident my senior parents could manage them, but if you have a fear of heights/stairs, this may not be the property for you. Then again, many homes with river access has this issue, so FYI. INTERNET Around this area, internet can be spotty, but we had zero issues, thanks to Alex's internet choice. We also have Verizon, so our cell phones worked as well. For those still needing to do work, you will be able to log on. :D OTHER One of the tricky thing about rentals is that it is hard to know what to bring and what will be provided. Alex's rental provided pretty much everything you needed: both river/hot tub towels and bath towels, bath wash and shampoo, kitchen items like oils, condiments, sponges, and all the other basic things like can openers, utensils, etc. To note, we realized we need a new can opener at home because Alex's worked much better than the one we have at home. HA. That's just an example of the quality of items this rental provides.

Long Weekend

We had a wonderful time at this property...even in the time of social distancing and local wildfires. We kayaked and SUPed from the private beach. We hiked and played at the coast. We tasted some great local wines. The house was a perfect home base on the river!

Really great getaway in the redwoods

We really loved this house! The dry sauna was a favorite. It was located really close to the river, Armstrong woods, Guernville shops & restaurants, and wineries. The house seems newly remodeled, with new floors and A huge wonderful bathroom. Our only request, would be that top sheets be made available for all the beds, and perhaps some new pillows? And honestly, if that’s our only request, you know this is a pretty nice place. :-)

Russian River Relaxation

Nice home and nice location secluded in a big green redwood forest. Only problem I had was negotiating the steep steps down to and back from the river. I'm a senior and they're far too many tall steps for me to negotiate with ease. Otherwise I really can't say enough about how nice the home was and how great it was to be alongside the river. We really enjoyed the kayaks and being able to launch them from the bottom of the stairs. Jacuzzi, hot tub & sauna were really great.

Woodsy Retreat

We enjoyed our stay here, three couples, it was peaceful and the redwood trees were amazing. It is a little bit intimidating following the directions to the house but only the first time, and they were very clear and accurate. Cell phone service was a bit sketchy at times but we were able to order Lyft and Uber without much problem and they were able to come right to the house. We only had three nights there and much of the time was spent traveling to wineries but we would love to return just to spend time here without a schedule or agenda. The house was spotless and we did not need for a thing. Great location!
