Location: The Enchanted Forest Estate is located approximately 1.5 miles east of downtown Guerneville on River Road, a busy two-lane road that connects Guerneville to Highway 101. Due to double wall construction, there is very little road noise inside the home, as well as on the back deck and lower lawn area.The driveway and front staircase face the road. All outdoor living areas are shielded from the road by the home, natural surroundings and a 10-foot high privacy fence (at the front of the property only). The neighborhood is a mix of residential and commercial. Neighbors include full-time residents, a local pub, a deli, a self-serve carwash and a gas station/mini mart. Be aware that though there is a visual privacy, the carwash can be heard when in use and noise from the pub may be heard. We have had very few mentions from guests about either of these establishements. Please contact our office if you have any questions about the proximity of the road or any other questions about the property. Members of our staff have stayed at this property and loved it!

Great location and just the right amount of space for our family reunion. Amenities were nice and the location was as described. Would stay again.
We had an incredible stay with both units rented. Perfect for large groups!
The property was well equipped with plenty of toys (pool table, kayaks, ping-pong, hot tubs) for large family groups. Unfortunately, it was not well maintained. The several of the inner tubes had holes which weren't discovered until inflated. A pump for all the inflatables would also be helpful. The TV in the main Culture Blend room did not permit logging in to our personal Netflix or Hulu account NOR could you mirror a device through AirPlay (standard now in most VRBOs). The TV in the Calente basement did work OK for streaming. Also, the car wash next door was pretty noisy.
Truly the perfect rental for our large group of friends. Beautiful area, very spacious and a relaxing atmosphere. Location is great, walking distance to food, the brewery and town. Helpful communication and everyone felt comfortable enjoying the weekend. Would definitely rent again!
Really nicely done with lots of great amenities for families.
We had a wonderful time here with three generations of family to celebrate the life of our Mom and Dad. The accommodations were perfect for an extended family. There were plenty of things for everybody to do, the pool tables, ping-pong, air hockey, hot tubs, large dining table, . This is not your average Vrbo, it is so well stocked for large groups that you don’t really need to bring any of your own from home. I would recommend this for any large group or family that wants to all get together and have a great time. We came in April, so the river was running to swift for us to use any of the summer activity items, kayaks, paddle boards, rafts., Lifejackets, etc, The place is stocked with everything you would ever need to have a fabulous week, weekend, or 2 day getaway
Lots of room for fun family gathering. Pool tables, Foosball, air hockey, ping pong, large yard on the Russian River. Thankful for a comfortable stay!
Plenty of space, well appointed, walking distance to town. We would definitely stay here again!
We rented the two houses for a reunion weekend of 6 families (12 adults and 11 kids between the ages of 1 and 10). We all had a blast. There were plenty of space for all of us to sleep with multiple en-suite bathrooms that are convenient and provided privacy. We utilized the kitchen for both houses to cook our meals, as well as both grills on the deck, and ate in either dining rooms or on the deck. One day we did an oyster run to Hog Island and brought back oysters to eat raw and grill, YUM! It's only about a 40 min drive away. Some adults also went out wine tasting near by. The TV and sitting areas are nice with big sofas for the kids. The game rooms in the garage are great for slightly older kids and adults. There are plenty of outdoor space including the deck and back yard leading to the river. The appliances are clean, updated, and functional. The location is super convenient if you are driving up from San Francisco. Russian River is a beautiful and playing on the bank of the river was fun for the kids. I would highly recommend this place if you have a large gathering of families.
Our reservation mentioned that there were two units, and we thought they meant a main house plus the suite that it was attached to. The reservation actually included TWO complete houses each with main space and suite. Sleeping space was abundant and the four kitchens were super handy when cooking for the group. Hot tub, grill, and several pool tables provided plenty of entertainment when my friends returned from their activities in the area. Great value overall.
