Villa Eileen: Riverfront Gem w/ Outdoor Kitchen & Private Beach

We really love the deck and the fully stocked kitchen. Also, most of the beds were very comfortable and we were really happy with the choice of pillows. Parking there is easy. We plan to come back!

This place was perfect for a weekend with old friends. The sleeping situation is not the most glamorous (loud bunks) but that's really the only drawback. The porch view of the river, the majestic redwoods, the private beach and access to both a private offshoot of the river and the full river, the outdoor kitchen... it was bliss.

If give 4.5 stars if possible.The good: Awesome location right on the river. Walk right down to the water. The beach is a mud embankment on a small river estuary. Have to wade across to a cool little rock beach on the river which is a bit of a pain. Bring river shoes.Decks are great with killer view of river.Beds, showers, hot water all good.Weather was great so we didn't use AC but it's there and modern.The bad: No dishwashing soap. Little bit annoying. Not a sharp knife in the house. Stove needs updating.Deck chairs, and tables could use updating.Bring your own beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. ones at the house are decrepit. No kayak.Odd house layout. No true master bedroom with en suite bathroom.Stairs, stairs, stairs!

Large well-maintained house in a perfect location with some elevation overlooking the river. The deck and Grill were great with a large adjacent redwood tree.My boys were able to swim in the river, which was very nice. When we checked in, the lock on the door was very difficult to open, and I was unable get through to the management company by phone. The phone number was for a corporate answering machine. I would suggest that a local housekeeper with a cell phone could do a better job.

The house appeared much larger than it is it is small with not much open space. It said the beds were queen size but they felt like double beds. While the kitchen was well supplied with all cooking utensils needed, the two large burners on the stove could not be used. One burner sparked if it was touched and the temperature knob on the other burner did not work. The refrigerator had no ice maker and no ice trays. The house had a musty smell

Great private beach on the Russian river, across the river from Stumptown Brewery. Close to town, close to breweries and wineries. Korbel winery was a nice treat. Swimming to Stumptown brewery with the dog was pretty epic. Guerneville a small quaint town did not disappoint, eateries and a super market for all your grocery needs.

This property has such great potential and we would have had a wonderful stay - if not for the maintenance issues. The positives: Villa Eileen is a very nice property, in a beautiful tree filled setting with nice river views. The kitchen is stocked very well with every kitchen tool you could ever need and a wonderful big pantry. The accommodations were great and it was nicely decorated. There are lots of outdoor lights for the decks and stairs and that was really nice. It's in a quiet neighborhood and close to town. The negatives: The lower level deck was not really usable. What is not pictured is a very long table, covered in a tarps, with a big broken garbage can sitting next to it. Shed contents (chairs, etc), were dirty. The outdoor kitchen area is not really usable, nor it is a relaxing place to hang out. Luckily, the upstairs and main deck was very nice and as advertised. The upstairs deck BBQ is rusty though so we didn't use it. Inside, one bathroom had a towel rack and Toilet paper holder that were both broken and unusable. The bottom part of the toilet also had a slow leak. The 2 big burners on the stove were not working, and that was a bummer since we cooked a lot while there. Vacasa, was prompt with replying to us, but nothing was ever done to correct any issues. If maintenance issues were resolved, and the lower deck was cleaned up and made useable again, then our stay could have been 5 stars...!

The beds were all comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need. We spent a lot of time outside on the deck when not enjoying the private beach. The trees kept the deck and home cooler on hot days and the air conditioners all worked well. We would definitely return. Great place for a family get together.

If you’re looking for a place for a family gathering, I would highly recommend Villa Eileen. The kitchen is extremely well appointed and the outside decks and patios were wonderful places for the family together. We had a wonderful stay. That said, we were highly disappointed in our dealings with Vacasa. The laundry facilities were not operational and while Vacasa continually said that someone would address the situation and repair the washer dryer no action was ever taken. If someone had of had the courtesy to let us know that we would have no laundry capability it would have tempered the disappointment we felt. Vacasa’s lack of action put a damper on what was a great family vacation.

My family and I enjoyed a pleasant and comfortable stay at this house. The back deck is wonderful with a gorgeous view of the river and the redwoods. The private neighborhood beach is a great plus. The kitchen is well-equipped and has nice appliances. I liked the location in a quiet, residential neighborhood. The only drawback is the early checkout time, 10 a.m., however i would gladly return for another stay.

Clean, Pretty modernized yet Cabin feel! wifi worked good :-) New flatscreen in master and beds were comfy! The master bed was really comfy which is so huge when staying somewhere. Neighbors seemed cool and the river access is right there! lots of stairs but GET YOUR STEPS its healthy ;-) haha... We are familar with the area and theres some cool spots in town but we went to Santa rosa which is 28 Min down the way for dinner a few nights! Jacksons Bar and oven AWESOME, Willies Wine bar EVEN BETTER! and you get to drive through beautiful wine country there and back! Thanks Vacasa for helping us and being available. I would give this place 5 stars

Great weekend away with family. House is fully stock. Easy access to the river and cute town with lots of food options. The front of house photo posted is of the green house next door, not of the actual home, can be misleading. I recommend updating the washer and mattresses for guests. The beds are dated and uncomfortable. The washer broke when we used it to wash the towels. Toilet paper holder broken when we checked in.
