Why the Owner Chose Guerneville

I live in Orange County and the Russian River is a wonderful escape and change of life style. I love being able to walk to town and restaurants and shoppes. The crisp air and breezes spreads a clean scent of redwood trees to the whole area.
Of course all the wineries are great but so is golf, hiking and boating/swimming in the river. There are so many choices and fun things to do each day.
The California Coast in this are is beautiful. From Bodega Bay to Mendocino has unbelievable views as you drive the coast. Great restaurants overlooking the water in Jenner just 16 miles away.
Some days we just sit on the deck and walk among the grape vines and Just Chill Out

Owner's Map of Guerneville

I started out with a friend looking for a B&B. As the story goes she got up early one morning and after listening to all the woes from the owner she said "No Way" "This is as hard as our regular job". We are both nurses. So we thought how about the B (bed) with out the B(breakfast) and that lead me to a vacation home. She eventually bought one too not very far from mine. I never heard of the Russian River except for a chardonnay I always liked. When I was shown around the area I fell in love with the Giant Redwood trees and thought what a great location being close to the wineries of course but also the coast and enjoying the river. When I saw the home I had a picture in my mind of grape vines going up the long drive and Vista Serena seemed like the perfect name to gather family and friends for fun and relaxation. The 10 year old vines were planted in 2007. I am learning about pruning. Table Grapes made sense so we can all enjoy them immediately. I hope you come share my beautiful Vista and make wonderful memories to last a long long time.

    • Vista Serena is just what its name suggests, a comfortable home in a relaxing setting. It is a perfect place to launch a winery tour or to embark on the 20-minute trip to the California coast with the spectacular views of Bodega Bay. We spent a day in San Francisco, taking in a Giants game, shopping, and dining in one of the city's best restaurants. Other days we found the giant redwoods, the Russian River, quaint Guerneville village, and dining experiences in Sonoma and Napa. The evenings we decided to dine in, we found the well-equipped kitchen more than up to the challenge of preparing a dinner to entertain more than a dozen guests staying at Vista Serena and nearby. The great room met our very demanding standards with comfortable furniture where we could curl up with a good book, watch TV, or enjoy the company of friends. Thank you for creating a setting for a memorable vacation!

      Homeowner Response:
      So glad you and your family enjoyed the Vista and all the surrounding entertainment. I too am particle to the great room and kitchen for a family get together. That's what it all about "Making Memories Together" Hope to see you again. Clare Hendrick

    • My daughter, son-in-law and their 15-month-old baby stayed at Vista Serena with me. What a wonderful time we had. The owner has thought of everything to make visitors comfortable and even had a high chair. The house is beautifully furnished and near all kinds of fun and convenient places to walk including a playground, miniature golf and the village of Guerneville. The house is accessible with only a few stairs necessary if you come in the front entrance. The master bedroom suite is huge and the carpeted stairs were great fun for Alex to crawl up and down. We hope to go back soon!

    • What a wonderful fun vacation. We could not have asked for a more spotless home. The Vista was every bit as spacious as you said. Our 2 families had plenty of room to be together and the kids found their play area upstairs as we adults enjoyed our time together in the great room. We walked evrywhere. The guys enjoyed the tennis at the park and we walked with the kids to the beach. The river was just warm enough for us East Coasters. It was so nice to have the coast so close. We took a ride up to Mendocina and picnic over the blue Pacific. It reminds me of Big Sur and that drive. Enjoyed the wineries of course and left with a few bottles to take home. Thanks for taking the time to make your home so comfortable. We appreciated the new furniture, well equiped kitchen and the quality bedding. You really notice those things. The stars were out each night and the hot tub was well appreciated by all of us. Sure hope to see the Vista again next year. Maybe we can come when your grapes are ripe for eating.

    • April 19-22: Relaxing and fun days at Vista Serena. We live in the Bay Area and Vista has everything on our list that equals the perfect get-away. The house is new and comfortably furnished with every convenience imaginable. The kitchen is a chef's dream – if you want to do a lot of cooking! Loved sitting on the deck during the day and just enjoying the beautiful scenery and at night in the hot tub, the stars were magnificent. The huge master suite is like many 4 star hotels, but we enjoy the convenience of being able to eat in and lounge at night in a comfortable great room. Great location for so many things: wineries galore, walk to town for dinner and pleasant drive to the ocean. We'll be back for certain.

    • We enjoyed our stay at the Vista Serena and came home relaxed and anxious to go back next year. Your home was clean and fresh and welcoming. The location was wonderful for walking to town and eating out in the evenings. The extra large open great room made it perfect for all of us to enjoy each others company while we prepared food and relaxed in front of the fireplace. Your home's Fall colors and furnishings were so comfortable. We appreciated the good beddings and slept so sound each night. May have been due to all the outdoor activities and maybe the wine too.
