Recent Stay at Peaceful Paradise

Date of Stay: 07/01/11 Review Submitted: 07/06/11

Excellent location with a very classy interior. Everything inside was clean and very well maintained. There were a plethora of magazines and games and DVDs. The bathrooms were spotless and well stocked. Kitchen was well organized. We had a wonderful stay. From a location perspective, it was very near Guerneville as well as near some of the other places we visited. We took evening walks around the neighborhood - very quiet and tree lined paths helped to convey an atmosphere of serenity. Will definitely come back.

My wife, daughter and I stayed for the weekend of April 23 and 24th for my birthday. I had a wonderful time relaxing, exploring the area, cooking in a very well designed and stocked kitchen. The house is well done and well docorated. We loved the Redwood trees that grow around the house. The house is perfectly situated between Monte Rio and Healdsburg. We will be back soon!

Beautiful house in a funky resort neighborhood! Very quiet, Well stocked kitchen. Plenty of room for entertaining in open concept kitchen/dining/living area. Close to major route, but tucked away in redwoods. Can get to ocean or Napa Valley within an hour; San Fransico in two hours. Great redwood forest state park right up the street. Very reasonably priced for level of accommodations.

This house TRULY sleeps 6. With 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the six of us fit very comfortably! Our group loves to cook and we spent a lot of time in the kitchen. We love the large wooden table that allows for cooking and socializing at the same time. The hot tub is a joy in the morning or evening, as it is surrounded by redwoods. What a beautiful setting for a beautiful house. We will see you again Peaceful Paradise!

Fantastic Vacation House!

Date of Stay: 08/06/10 Review Submitted: 09/03/10

We stayed at Peaceful Paradise with a group of friends and had an amazing time. The house was beautiful and spacious. We cooked delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen and had an unforgettable time. The house is surrounded by redwoods, and we spent a great deal of time in the hot tub enjoying ourselves and looking up at them. Peaceful Paradise is a short drive from vineyards and the coast. I wholeheartedly recommend it for a group of friends or a family, and intend to return myself!

Excellent Property and Value

Guest: Kenteroo (Sunnyvale, CA)
Date of Stay: 05/22/10 Review Submitted: 05/23/10

We only had a short stay with 2 adults and two children. This place is great! A bathroom for every bedroom, great light and open spaces, and a very quiet street/neighborhood. The kitchen is great and well appointed. All the appliances (incl Gas BBQ) work great and are in excellent condition and it has a hot tub out back as well! Radiant heat so there was simply no dust anywhere in the house. Great for folks with allergies (or anyone, really). Addresses and info in the "Renter's Binder" were accurate and helpful. It feels much more like a "home" than a "rental". All the usual "cheap tricks" usually found in rentals are absent from this property. We will definitely be back!

WineEnthusiast Mesa,AZ, USA Review Submitted: March 16, 2010 Date of Stay: March 2010 Two of my brothers and their wives, my wife and I stayed at this property in March 2010. We were all impressed by the many amenities this property has to offer. The place was clean and neat and had all the little things necessary to prepare a meal. The location was excellent and was quiet in amongst the redwoods. We used the the pellet burning stove to create a warm and comfortable atmosphere in the evenings. The wives took advantage of the hot tube to relax and talk. It was an enjoyable experience and we look forward to staying there again in the future. I would recommend this property to anyone.

We stayed at Peaceful Paradise on July 4, 2009. We were pleasantly surprised at how clean and beautiful the house is. We loved our stay at the house and enjoyed Guerneville, the wineries, and we did some biking as well. If you are considering staying near Guerneville, this is the house to stay at.

We stayed at Peaceful Paradise for four nights when we were in town for a wedding. We had three couples, one with a baby, and really loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. The house is in a beautiful setting, and we found it clean, comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. Also a great location for wine tasting, hiking and river activities. We would definitely recommend this home to others.

We stayed at this property last week, wonderful. Beautiful home, well maintained great to have a bathroom with each bedroom. Kitchen had everything you needed for meals and a great barbeque on the deck for grilling. Loved its location for both the coast and wine country touring. Will recommend this to friends looking for this experience. Our stay was a family reunion, 3 adult siblings all were very happy.

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

The house was the perfect location for our family retreat. The house is tastefully decorated and the kitchen is complete. Unlike, many other vacation rentals, this house had everything we needed to prepare a great breakfast. There is a large farm style kitchen table in the large south facing, well lit kitchen. There were even cookbooks and champagne flutes, and beautiful high end appliances. We hiked in nearby Armstrong Woods, then returned to Rio Nido and had dinner a restaurant in Guerneville, which offered great food and a jazz trio on Sat. night. The owners have included books, games and even some children's toys. We appreciated the three attractively furnished bedrooms each with a bath. This house has everything! Space for private reading and a cozy living space to share. In warmer weather it would be fun to use the canoe. I recommend this to any convivial group, and epecially families and extended families. It's the best deal offered in the area and you won't be disappointed.

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

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
