My friends and I stayed here during Women’s Weekend. We are all respectful, responsible guests who do not drink and always take care to follow house rules and treat rental properties with care.<br/><br/>The rental company was excellent throughout our stay—responsive, professional, and helpful whenever we had questions or concerns.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, our experience was negatively impacted by one of the immediate neighbors. We felt continuously harassed and monitored despite not causing any disturbances. The neighbor repeatedly engaged with us unnecessarily and made us feel uncomfortable by closely watching our activities. At one point, we were told we could not use our key fob after 9:00 p.m. because it would supposedly violate the noise ordinance. Additionally, one of my friends was observed for an extended period by the neighbor while she was simply at her car near the driveway.<br/><br/>The constant scrutiny and interference made it difficult to relax and enjoy our stay. While there were more rules at this property than we have encountered at most Airbnb rentals, we respected and followed all of them.<br/><br/>Again, I want to emphasize that the rental company handled our concerns promptly and professionally. Our disappointment stems from the behavior of the neighboring resident, which significantly affected our overall experience.

We loved our stay here for a long weekend. The house is clean, comfortable, well organized, and the hot tub was the perfect way to relax under the trees. I highly recommend the house for a stay in Guerneville!

The Lazy Bear Lodge is pure magic. This is our third stay at the property and it's better every time. Everything we need is here. The serene location under the redwood trees makes every view out the window a postcard. Comfortable, clean, and fully supported by the team. A quick drive to town and there is great dining, music, and fun. We come here for an annual bike event. We will be back again!

In addition to visiting the town of Guerneville, we spent time at Sonoma Coast State Park and Healdsburg

Property was clean and well furnished. Beautiful trees and landscaping. It was close enough to downtown and Armstrong without being right in the middle so very quiet and peaceful.

It was a very cute house with what you need.

It was great and we enjoyed the house -- it was cozy and clean and the jacuzzi was great.

A week spent at this beautiful lodge, in a great location, near to everything, would be remembered by our family!<br/>Nearest places to have nice meals, grocery store, vinery, a beach, redwood reserve with only 25 min to the pacific, would be a nice choice for most. <br/>Good communication with the vey helpful management was also a good addition to our stay.<br/>Thanks you!

We chose this house for our group of 6 as we needed four bedrooms. The house worked really well for us, grilling out, enjoying the hot tub, and feeling at home while away.

Manager's Response

The house was clean and cozy. There were not enough sheets and pillow cases to make a bed on the futon. There was also an odd assortment of towels for the sixth person. It would be nice to have towels for the hot tub as bringing towels just takes up space and adds weight to luggage. There were ants, mostly in the kitchen, and we kept what food we had put away and the dishes washed after every meal we cooked there. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt safe. Guerneville was a cute town.

My girlfriends and I booked the Lazy Bear Lodge in September. It is a wonderful place to stay. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom. The deck is amazing with redwoods so close you can touch them. The linen closet was full of cozy quilts to snuggle into during the cool evening air. The deck makes the property. The description of the property is accurate. It does have a very steep driveway but it was easy to master. The property was well maintained. The only complaint we had was the beds were very tall and large for their rooms (in one room, hard to move around) and the sofa is so large, we found it very uncomfortable. Those small things would not keep me from booking again.

Manager's Response

The property was exactly as described, nestled into the redwoods with a private hot tubs and more than enough space for our small family. It was a short drive (or walk) to town and in between town and the armstrong woods. The property manager provided quick reply when we had questions and checkin/checkout was clearly communicated. We visited Armstrong Woods, the community center/Russian river near monte rio, and drove out to Goat Rock Beach.

The home is very cozy and the outdoor space was quiet and relaxing. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were comfy and bathrooms aplenty. Would definitely stay here again.

We (married couple with dog) all loved this rental! The location was perfect, it felt out of the way but was conveniently close to town. It was so very quiet, even our sound-sensitive dog was able to relax, and that’s a great endorsement! The house was clean and had everything we needed, and special shout-out to the fabulous sofa! The redwoods surrounding the deck were fabulous and made it a lovely place to sit and just listen to the forest. Highly recommended.

Manager's Response

Was nice home. Kitchen small, driveway a nightmare, but in a good location and with privacy with trees and landscaping

Lovely space to host a family river trip. Very comfortable and well thought out space.

Manager's Response

We had a fabulous time at this home. It was a beautiful place and was close to everything we wanted to do while in ca. Thank you so much.

Awesome spot. Beautiful newly redone home nestled in a beautiful spot. Loved the hot tub. Very responsive. Plenty of room for us and our three teens. Highly recommended!

We were so excited to stay at Lazy Bear Lodge after seeing the photos, and the house in person was exactly what we expected! First, the basics: the house was spotless, well-supplied, comfortable and in excellent condition. We loved sitting in the Adirondack chairs in the front garden and relaxing in the hot tub on the back deck. The views from every room of the house were lovely, all evergreens and sky. The management company was exceptional -- incredibly responsive to all questions and needs.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lazy Bear Lodge with our family!!

The home is ideal and the deck looks on the redwoods. The inside is in pristine condition, and the hot tub is a great addition. I'd stay here again in a hearbeat.

Manager's Response

Great spot for a russian river getaway. Some rooms are a little small. But it had good appliances, decor, and amenities.

Manager's Response

The house smelled fresh and new. The furniture was comfortable and had a variety without looking cluttered or out of place. The decor theme was adorable. The appliances all worked well and were easy to run. The hot tub was especially nice. The only complaint was a mildewy smell coming from the dishwasher and ckothes washer. However, clothes and dishes came out clean and smelling fine, so that was a very minor detail!<br/><br/>The staff left a very kind welcome note and giftbasket of snacks alongside the house being in stunning condition.

Manager's Response

Beautiful home with stocked kitchen and plenty of supplies- like TP, papertowels, bath towels, etc. <br/>Great location! Didn't get a chance to use the BBQ on this stay- but the kitchen was great!

Manager's Response

Really enjoyed our stay. Plenty of space for our family of 4 plus pup. We arrived a night so it was a little difficult to find the driveway. Very clean. Beautiful mountain views. Felt like plenty of privacy and queit neighborhood. Beds were comfy!! We would like to stay here again next time we visit the area. Minutes from the Armstrong Redwoods!
