Summary:

Sip morning coffee on the deck as redwood light filters through the canopy, your pup exploring the wooded yard below. This 2-bedroom Guerneville cottage sleeps 5 with a gas fireplace for cool evenings, a front balcony, and a fire pit out back. Saucy Mama's soul food sits 0.6 miles away, Armstrong Redwoods 2.5 miles up the road, and the Russian River runs just minutes from the door.



The Space:

Spend mornings on the deck as light filters through the redwoods, afternoons floating the Russian River or tasting at Korbel and Joseph Jewell, and evenings around the fire pit table swapping stories from the day. Armstrong Redwoods' ancient groves wait 2.5 miles up the road, and downtown Guerneville's eclectic restaurants and shops sit less than a mile away.



Curl up on the reclining sofa in front of the brick gas fireplace, where sliding glass doors pull filtered redwood light into every corner and a TV keeps the ballgame or movie night going. Shelves of books and games line the walls for slower afternoons.



Cook in the full kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances, and pour a first cup from one of the multiple coffee makers standing ready by sunrise. Gather at the wooden dining table for farm-to-table takeout, board games, or planning the next day's float trip — treetop views fill every window.



Retreat to the primary bedroom where vintage-inspired furnishings, a vanity mirror, and soft lighting set a calm tone after a day in the trees. Each bedroom has its own TV, so everyone can wind down on their own schedule.



OUTDOOR LIVING

Step onto the main deck for picnic-table dinners under the canopy, with the gas grill ready for summer cookouts and cushioned chairs angled toward the trees. Pull up a seat at the second deck's fire pit table as the redwoods darken into evening. A front balcony adds another perch for morning coffee, and wine-barrel planters add a Sonoma touch throughout.

Guest Access:

Light the brick fireplace under its wooden mantel, then step out to one of multiple deck spaces that thread between the towering trees. You've got the whole home, dogs welcome, with rich hardwood floors and a balcony off the main level. Punch in the keypad code on arrival; two parking spots wait on the gravel drive next to the house.



The Neighborhood:

Your Guerneville retreat puts you in the heart of Russian River wine country while surrounded by towering redwoods. Walk 0.6 miles to Saucy Mama's for soul food or 0.8 miles to the famous Guerneville Taco Truck at Safeway for legendary breakfast burritos. Downtown's eclectic dining scene includes La Bodeguita Panino (0.9 mi) and Koala's Fine Food (0.8 mi). For morning coffee, The Lodge at Dawn Ranch is just 0.7 miles away. Stock up on groceries at Safeway (0.8 mi) or grab essentials at Fern's Market (2.1 mi). The ancient groves of Armstrong Redwoods await 2.5 miles north, while Korbel Winery's historic champagne cellars are 2.7 miles east. Take your pup to Bruno Farnocchia Dog Park (2.4 mi) or explore Patterson Point Preserve (1.5 mi). Summer river floating at Johnson's Beach and Guerneville River Park are both about a mile away. The Sonoma Coast's dramatic cliffs and beaches lie 20 minutes west via scenic Highway 116.



Getting Around:

Guerneville is about 90 minutes from San Francisco via 101 and River Road — a scenic drive through vineyards and into the redwoods. You'll have two dedicated parking spots in the gravel driveway next to the house. A car makes the Russian River Valley easy to explore, from redwood trails to riverside wineries. Cell service gets patchy in the redwoods, so downloading offline maps before you arrive is worth it.



Other Things to Note:

A Ring camera at the front door supports your security. High-speed WiFi keeps you connected for streaming or remote work. While there's no air conditioning, the home stays naturally cool thanks to the shading redwood canopy and cross-ventilation through the sliding doors — most guests find the ceiling fans and forest breeze perfectly comfortable even in summer. The gas fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere on chilly evenings. Cell service can be spotty throughout the Russian River area, but the strong WiFi keeps you connected. The primary renter must be 21 or older. The basement bedroom with twin bed is accessed via interior stairs. For the best river floating experience, rent tubes at Johnson's Beach early in the day during summer weekends when parking fills up fast.

    The place was very nice and we really enjoyed staying here. The highlight is the back deck. We had perfect weather during our stay and we loved sitting on the back deck using the bbq, the gas fire pit, listening to the creek and the birds, and playing board games on the picnic table. The inside of the house was really nice as well. There was an issue at check in with something not being picked up before we arrived. We did report the cleanup issue to the property manager, and they apologized for the issue. Additionally, the place advertised there were beach towels for the river. We did not bring our own towels as a result, but there were only three beach towels and not four, which is how many people are in our family. Those are the reasons I gave a 4 out of 5, but we'd be happy to stay here again.

    Well appointed and interesting furnishings, very well stocked kitchen if you cook, comfortable beds, we appreciated TVs in living room and in both bedrooms! The home is in a very quiet area in the woods (although neighboring homes are close), but very close to town (literally 3-4 minutes away). Will definitely stay there again!

    Beautiful place. Very quiet in the middle of redwood forest. Beautiful back porch with gas fireplace to tell stories at night. Great and perfectly equipped kitchen, tv in every room, wonderful art on the walls, very comfortable beds and a great bathroom (the Japanese toilet seat was a hit!!!). We will be back!

    All the amenities that you could ask for are in this home. So fabulous with regards to cooking and eating and washing at home. Ironically, we were in Guerneville during a ‘Heat Wave’ which in the valleys was well over 100 degrees, but due to the location of this treasure, it didn’t get too hot in the day and it cooled off beautifully in the evening. Thank you so very much for this beautiful rental - we hope to stay with you again.

    This is a very nice, clean, comfortable house with all the amenities needed. The owners have obviously thought carefully about making guests feel welcome. The service and communication from the local property manager however was abysmal. On arrival we had no internet or cable service. The property manager was unable to get anything working the first night. We understand that things happen. No problem. The next morning at 8:45 she texted that she “would head over in a bit and not leave until this is fixed”. She never showed up, never texted or called. After several hours we inquired but she never answered any of our texts or calls. By the afternoon we called the main Vacasa line who contacted the property manager directly. We were told she had gotten busy and would be there at 4:45pm. She never showed up, called, texted or answered us. Luckily there was a different property manager covering the next morning. He came over immediately, was extremely apologetic, and fixed the problem. Having been a rental property owner myself, I would be appalled to know that my tenants could be treated so poorly. We certainly understand that things happen but communication is paramount. Just keeping us in the loop would have made all the difference. Instead a significant part of our first day and a half was wasted. I empathize with the owners and hope that they are able to address this problem.
