Wonderful house!
Reviewed on 2024-07-29 by , Mansfield, MA USWe were 5 middle-aged women from 4 different states across the country arriving for a weekend reunion. The house was perfect for us. There was plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen had every pot and pan and utensil that we needed (and we cooked several times.) The location was just a few minutes from the river (free parking after 3:30!), the redwood park and the cute shops and bars in town. Our only issue was that the house next door was being renovated and work started at 6:45 am on Saturday but that will presumably be a short term thing. Otherwise, we loved our stay here.

Clean, Convenient, and Comfy
Reviewed on 2024-07-20 by Stu S. , Harbor City, CA USOur family of six had a very enjoyable stay. The beds were all comfortable; the kitchen had plenty of essential gadgetry; and there were a variety of quiet corners (indoors and on the balconies) to sit aside and read or whittle. The place was just far enough off the beaten path, deeply nestled within the shade of the redwoods while still close enough to town for a rigorous walk.

Airbnb Review-July 2023
Reviewed on 2024-05-11 by JessicaClean house, as described, kitchen was well-stocked. FYI there is only a K-cup coffee maker. The beds were comfy and there were thoughtful touches around the house. As others have said, the spiral staircases to go between the two floors might be tough for someone with limited mobility, or if your dog is afraid to go down stairs.

Reviewed on 2024-05-11 by JessicaStace's place is the perfect home for a weekend trip. Myself and 7 of my friends all stayed there and it was cozy yet we didn't feel crowded. I really liked how all the rooms have access to the deck. One of my friend's also mentioned how she was impressed by cleanliness of the floors were so if you hate shoes and socks this is the place.Stace had great communication when I had to make changes or had questions about the home prior to the stay. She went above to help make things work.Overall I'd highly recommend this place due to the convenience of the location and how it's just a good place for 8 good friends to hangout and enjoy a weekend.

Great home base for exploring Guerneville
Reviewed on 2024-05-11 by SarahWonderful, cozy home conveniently located less than a mile from downtown. Comfortable beds and seating, well-equipped kitchen and two large bathrooms. We especially appreciated the wood-burning stove, stained glass window and views of the redwoods from the spacious decks. The spiral staircase leading to the two lower bedrooms was slightly challenging for some folks in our party but we got used to it and it’s a quick trip up and down. The property managers left a lovely welcome basket and were quick to respond when we had a minor issue. Would stay again and recommend!

Reviewed on 2021-08-11 by , San Francisco, CA UnknownThis house is a very comfortable and well-maintained retreat surrounded by redwoods but with a sunny deck. It’s quite close to town and directly across from public river access. The kitchen is well equipped and there’s a great Weber grill for cooking in, It’s also easy to get to a number of restaurants from the house. The main bedroom is very spacious and the other bedrooms also ample, with deck access. The space is well laid out for a group or large family, but still cozy. The housekeeping and set up ahead of time was superior to other places I’ve stayed.

Wonderful family retreat
Reviewed on 2021-03-16 by Natasha B. , El Cerrito, CA United StatesThe house was perfect for the family - including grandma and 2 kids. Very clean and comfy. Loved the record player and the wood-burning stove. Close to town although not ideal to walk along the highway to get there. The only issue was there weren't warm blankets and the nights were chilly. The management company brought more blankets but they were very thin.
