My wife and I had a very pleasant stay at this wonderful home. The house is tastefully furnished with everything we needed, to include a full kitchen, for a quiet getaway. We especially enjoyed the close proximity to Armstrong Redwoods State Park and downtown Guerneville, which was less than five miles away. Also, there is a free EV charging station less than 4 1/2 miles away from the home.
A wonderful, spacious house with a great kitchen for us to cook meals in. Many thoughtful touches and you can tell that the hosts have made a lot of effort to meet all the needs of guests. Jeannie was communicative and friendly. A great house for a little getaway.
Very comfortable nice home in Monte Rio overlooking the river. We stayed 3 nights and really enjoyed our mini-vacation at the Russian River Area. The kitchen was well equipped, so was the rest of the house. The owner was very helpful. Will definitely try to stay here again.
We were celebrating our 40th anniversary and had a wonderful time staying here. I don't think the pictures really do it justice. We spent most of our time outside on the large deck in the lounges watchiing bats, satellites, the space station and numerous perseid meteors. And of course the Redwoods! The inside is very nicely decorated, comfy/cozy! Some previous comments mention the stairs....I think they must have been fixed as I didn't find them rickety at all. And prior comments about ice.....there is now a separate freezer with ice which we really appreciated. We golfed 2 days at the beautiful Northwoods golf course. The restaurant there is quite good too. NOTE - It seems many many places are closed on Monday and/or Tuesday. Eating is rather hard to find. We Will stay here again, maybe sooner than we thought when we first rented. But we would so it Wednesday and on. It was very nice!
This nicely laid-out house has the BEST views. Just stand on the wide balcony , and you see the mighty RRiver: WOW! House provides full amenities (though I miss the washer/dryer.... just bring more change of clothes). There's a Zen-like garden in front of house too with a pleasingly soothing pond. Loved our stay.
Best Russian River experience. Beautiful house with splendid view of the R River just outside of wide balcony. Soothing lovely Zen-like pond in front garden. Delightful , Delightful , Delightful .
We enjoyed our stay and will stay again in the summer if available. The house was clean and spacious, especially the large and well equipped kitchen. Large deck over looking river and bridge. A few minor things; The stairs to get down to home were a bit wobbly near the top and once inside the gate your standing on a stair to close it not a landing. Street is very narrow and parking was a challenge.
We really enjoyed the peaceful surrounding and deck views.
Nice deck with views. It was a fun experiment to use the smoker/grill. Kitchen well stocked. Owner responded quickly when asked about borrowing beach chairs and towels. No designated parking on a very narrow curvy road. Entry stairs can be treacherous. No ice. Bed pillows were yellow with sweat and age. Furniture is tired.
We really enjoyed our stay. The facilities were true to the website pics and description, clean and charming. The view from the deck of the river was fantastic. We ran into the owner who even gave us some fresh salmon just caught that day!
Our stay in Monte Rio with beautiful views from the deck was heavenly. The garden and pond was serene and brought a sense of zen and calm. The interior of the home was comfy and clean. In the mornings we freshly ground our coffee beans and brewed our cup of joes. Then sit on the deck overlooking the river and listening to birds chirping. If you want a relaxing stay to read a book, walk into town without TV then this is a place for you
Nice location. Short drive to beach and to Guerneville. Not too far to Sonoma and Santa Rosa either. Walking distance to market and a couple nice restaurants. Right on the Russian River with easy beach access. Great views from back windows and patio deck. Place is rustic but clean and nice. We had a great stay.
This was my wife’s birthday week, daughters visited on the weekend. The rest of the time we relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful view. Would recommend this to anyone looking for peace and quiet.
