Guerneville, California
Enjoy the romance of Casa Luna, a vintage riverfront cabin on the Russian River. This home features the charm of the 1940s era in which it was built, but has the comfort of modern appliances. Casa Luna offers hardwood floors, a high wood-beam ceiling, brick fireplace, the warmth of old knotty pine paneled walls and a country kitchen with a view of the river.
Enjoy the wonderfully expansive and private deck that wraps around two sides of the house and overlooks your own private meadow sloping down to the river. Wildflowers bloom late into the summer here. Relax in the hot tub and romantic outdoor shower surrounded by the privacy of majestic redwoods and the fragrance of bay trees. Stroll down the path through the meadow to the water's edge and enjoy a private floating river dock and canoe and paddleboat. (Available mid-June through mid-September.)
Casa Luna's amenities include a fully equipped kitchen with 5 burner gas range and convection oven, new dishwasher, recently remodeled Italian tile bathroom, bed and bath linens, romantic hot water outdoor shower surrounded by redwoods and adjacent to a large hot tub, comfortable deck lounge furniture and gas barbecue, a clothes washer, dryer and safe off-road parking. The house is conveniently located minutes from the towns of Guerneville, Rio Nido and Duncan Mills. All three towns offer shopping, restaurants, movies, public river beaches, as well as canoe and kayak rentals. Northwood Golf Course and Pee Wee Golf are only a few minutes away. The Pacific Ocean and stunning Sonoma Coast are a lovely 20 minute drive away.
Casa Luna is a non-smoking house and is dog friendly. The fully-fenced deck provides lots of space for a dog to soak up the sun and lounge. Your well-behaved mature dog is most welcome! Casa Luna features a keyless entry system, meaning you will have the convenience of an express check-in directly at the home!

Perfect vibe for a cozy rustic weekend away from the city. Reasonably modern appliances made cooking easy. Beautiful views and great hot tub. Bring layers as it gets COOOOOLD at night!
We loved our stay at Casa Luna. The place is fully equipped, with a great kitchen and a fantastic BBQ Grill on the deck. Two kayaks and a canoe tied up to the private dock were perfect (we did have to call management to bring the canoe down to the dock from storage, but they responded in less than an hour!). The deck is fantastic -- with a great view of the river through the trees. WE enjoyed the hot tub, as well. Clean and set to a perfect temperature, with an outdoor shower next to it to rinse off the chlorine. The deck is in shade most of the day, so the heat was not an issue. The house is very dark, as it has a northern exposure and is surrounded by tall trees. It could use better lighting -- even during the day -- in the kitchen and living area. Also, the front screen door was missing the latch, so it could not be shut securely, and there is no screen door for the rear slider. Not a deal killer, but something that needs to be taken care of. The property management group was excellent -- friendly and responsive. Advice to guests -- bring your own kitchen pantry staples. Pretty much only salt and pepper provided, and a bit of canola oil. The coffee maker does not work well -- not all of the grounds are wet by the hot water. We solved the issue by pouring the brewed pot of coffee over the dry grounds mid-way through brewing cycle.
This is a great home away from home. The only suggestions i have would be to make the seating area near the water a bit more appealing (clean the lounge chairs and offer cushions) and improve the bedding...our pillows were hard and the second bed was too small and sagging. Otherwise - perfection! Great view and access to the beach. Everthing we needed in the kitchen.
We really enjoyed our two nights at this cozy and comfortable home . The home is well equipped and also dog friendly so it was a perfect place for us . So lovely to have the hot tub and balcony with River views .
The place was nice and toasty when we arrived, which we very much appreciated because it was cold out. Nice and clean with everything labeled. Wish we would have been informed about the tap water, don’t drink it. Bring your own water. Shower was great! One of the rooms is pretty freezing, there were only 2 of us so we didn’t use it. Hot tub was nice and clean! This place is very close to other houses so there’s not much privacy, especially from the patio. Nice easy walk from the backyard to the river. Thank you for a nice stay.
We stayed for a week in this cute house. Location of this house was an excellent! Easy spacious parking, clean, nice layout, very quiet surrounding, convenient for grocery shopping (Safeway store & our favorite Taco Truck there too!) and had everything we need for cooking. (Just minor thing was that living room seemed a little bit dark for our taste even during the day time, but had enough lamps, so may be fine for a vacation). However, it actually might helped cooling during the hot weather??. So, I don't complain. What we loved this house the most was a Huge Wraps around Balcony and that was the most relaxing area under the red wood trees over looking the river. Very serene and peaceful. We didn't use Hot Tub this time. May be next time. Additionally, we were so lucky to see two (mother and child) Deers came into the backyard. They weren't scared us at all. They stayed there quite a long time eating some plants and we enjoyed watching them from the balcony. They were so cute! Another great thing about this house was having a great property management crew of Russian Vacation Rental Office! Especially, we were so grateful for Ms. Ellen Deproto who helped us during our stay. When we decided to take a paddle boat, found out that mechanical part of paddles was already broken. (We wished that any former renters notified this Paddle Boat problem to the property manager for future guests.) We contacted a property office about it and many thanks to Ellen, she arranged to lend us their unused spare Kayak to replace broken paddle boat for our week. Her quick response & kindness made us so happy and full filled our satisfaction even more! And many thanks to this home owner, Cristina & Jeff who share their lovely house with many guests. Thank you so much! Our little pooch, named LUNA also enjoyed very much with us too! The Born Family/San Jose, CA
The view from the dining room table was breathtaking with fall foliage and view of the river. The furniture and art on the wall contributed to the relaxing atmosphere. The heart of the cabin for us was its fireplace. We spent Thanksgiving here and loved it.
This home was very enjoyable. A perfect spot for pet's or kids.
