Walk to Russian River! Sun,S’mores! Guerneville!Ht Tb•Dog• WiFi -Villa Mimosa

This property needs some improvements in hvac and security.

Power was out when we arrived (there'd been a bad storm the night before). We had to drive back to town to get reception in order to call & see what to do. The nice lady who answered the phone (I'm sorry I forgot her name) was extremely helpful & understanding. The power ended up coming back on an hour or two later & there were no further big problems, but we really appreciated the responsiveness.The space was really nice & cozy, the yard & setting are gorgeous, & the hot tub & fire were delightful on the cold nights.One warning - don't leave any food out! We were surprised to find ants swarming our cake a little while after we'd unpacked. But we wiped them up with a soapy sponge & didn't see more than one or two scouting around after that. We had to be diligent about putting everything away or in sealed containers but it wasn't a big deal. There was some Raid under the sink but we left it alone, since spraying poison in the kitchen seemed worse than just not leaving food on the counter.One thing I would change, would be to provide better mats to wipe your shoes on when you come inside. Since it was rainy out, we were tracking in mud & leaves no matter how much we wiped our shoes on the welcome mat, we ended up sacrificing one of our towels to use as an entry rug. Similarly, something to wipe your feet on between the outdoor shower and the hot tub would keep leaves out of there as well. Overall we had a great time, would visit again.

It was a great space and location. Kids and pup had a blast. We wished it had some more comforts like coffee and soap for the showers.

We enjoyed our stay at Villa Mimosa mostly for the location and for the yard and deck. The house was nicely situated, however, it needed a GOOD cleaning. Bedding had spots, bottom sheets were not fitted so they were always a mess. The kitchen sink facet was broken,refrigerator handle on left side is broken, lights constantly flickering, and major dust behind furniture. Dining table needed a tablecloth so you didn't have to look at all the scratches and stains.Overall, a good cleaning, updated sheets, some nice dish towels and a tablecloth would have made a big difference.We enjoyed walking to the beach and walking with our dog around the neighborhood. Neighbors were nice and friendly. With as much as we paid for our stay, I expected a cleaner cabin and better supplies.We would stay again only if we knew that the cabin had had a GOOD cleaning in between guests. The cabin needs a lot of TLC.

Upside: Convenient location, super close walk to river access, roomy hot tub, BEAUTIFUL scenery, great weather and backyard very peaceful! Downside: Not ada friendly (stairs to everything), lacking cleaning supplies (scrubber for dishes?), and avoid the recliner as it's broken. As much as people wrote in the guestbook lots of insects we did not have any issues, however it is possible that it is slightly haunted. We had a great time, and would recommend.

We stayed for 3 nights in February. Nice cozy home for our family of 4 and 2 dogs. We appreciated the large yard for the dogs. The hot tub was great for a dip at night. The neighborhood was great for mornings walks with the dogs. There's a new playground very close which would be great for little kids.

We loved the property. Quiet neighborhood, nice yard and porch, plenty of room in the house. The hot tub was a great addition. Would recommend staying here!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: the access to the river was not convenient. Also the water float tubes, etc. were in ill-repair.Property was seclude and private yard.

This was a great home base for enjoying the Russian River and attending the Caz Performing Arts Family camp for a few days. The property management was responsive and welcoming. I really enjoyed hot tubbing amidst the trees.

It was Pleasant cozy home had everything you need great location beautiful backyard spacious

The house is clean and cosy and the yard is lovely to hang out in. Super kid friendly. Beach and river access an easy walk. Downtown Guerneville a five minute drive away with lots of options to eat. Neighborhood is quiet (some construction noise on weekdays but we weren’t bothered. Hot tub was a wonderful way to end the day.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is ok as far as the beds and room for a family, but it's in dire need of some major up keep, the spa is moldly, the air conditioning isn't working, the front door was broken and sealed shut. The front porch is leaning. The neighborhood was noisy with dogs and loud music. The yard was not maintained either.
