From our 9-year-old son Nicolas: "Visit Rio Nido by Guerneville, California. Rio Nido is a quiet village right near the Russian River. It is filled with beautiful hills and towering redwood trees. There are also a lot of events and get-togethers with everyone in Rio Nido, such as community barbecues, pancake breakfasts, and marshmallow roasts. Another good thing is that a pool is nearby and so is the River, so you can take a swim in either one of them. So if you need a vacation, try Rio Nido!"
From parents and friends: "A wonderful getaway in a unique area, laden with history and personality, yet supremely quiet and surrounded by beautiful nature. This place has it all: you can go hiking, biking, swimming, canoeing, or sit back, relax, and enjoy the serenity of the majestic redwood trees." A nice vacation rental on the Russian River.
The house features 3 bedrooms and their own separate full bathrooms, a private hot tub and deck at the back of the house, a main deck at the front, water-based radiant heating system in every room, and a wood-pellet stove in the living room. The house features Cable TV, high-speed Internet access via Cable, and a propane BBQ grill.
A few blocks away from Russian river access; 1.5 miles from Armstrong Woods/Austin Creek state parks; close to major wineries; down the road from community area with miniature golf, private swimming pool, and games area with night-time entertainment for families; 20-minute drive to Pacific Ocean and Sonoma County beaches. Perfect location for a vacation home!

We want to commend the owners on their wonderful taste and completeness in furnishing, decorating, and stocking the kitchen. We like to cook and enjoy having the needed items at hand, the tea kettle and pot, adequate pots and pans, glasses and dishware. There are few rental places that we can ever really cook in without limping along. The instructions for the pellet stove were complete; it provided a lot of heat. We didn't have a small child this time, but it was nice to see the toys and we will probably return with friends who have small children. We'd brought our own games and DVDs, but now we know we wouldn't need to do this in the future. I really appreciated the higher-end appliances and the champagne flutes. We appreciated the local maps. We thought the layout was perfect and the house was appealing, inviting, and about the right size. RLB; San Diego, CA

We had a great time and found the accommodations comfortable. It really is a beautiful house and our boys enjoyed riding their bike and scooter up and down the quiet street. JB; Brisbane, CA

We had a great stay at Peaceful Paradise this weekend. It was lovely to walk into a toasty house with a bottle of champagne in the fridge. Nice touch. We thought the accommodations were an excellent value, and I will definitely recommend it to others, and consider it myself for my next trip. KM; San Francisco, CA

We had a great time at Peaceful Paradise! The property was perfect in every way. You and your staff have done a great job managing the property. The property owners should feel assured you are offering them and their guests the best property-management service available. We will certainly call you again for another stay at Peaceful Paradise in the near future. OFP; Ventura, CA

We had a wonderful time; it worked out perfectly for our group. The house is beautiful and fit us well. We loved the hot tub, although we only used it once. The champagne in the fridge was a very thoughtful gift which we enjoyed. The house was well-stocked, although we brought a ton of cooking stuff with us so I don't know what we would have needed. [W]e had a great time and it was very easy working with you. JST; San Francisco, CA

We had a fantastic stay at Peaceful Paradise, and can't think of anything that could be better. It's a gorgeous house; we were very comfortable there. We particularly appreciated the decor, the view, having our own bathrooms, the great hot tub, and the comfortable beds. LR; San Francisco, CA

The owners have done an absolutely beautiful job on the house. It looks brand new and everything about it was first class. We did walk down to the Rio Nido Roadhouse Saturday night and they had a great swing band playing and people dancing outside. One of the most fun things was the community barbecue Sunday night right down the street: great chicken and a fun band playing there, too. We are looking forward to our next trip and hopefully we will get more sightseeing in. It was a really great weekend. We were all very impressed with the house and loved the bottle of champagne in the fridge. Thanks again. LT; Redwood City, CA
