Location: Monte Rio, Russian River, Sonoma County, Wine Country, California, USA
Accommodations: House, 5 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 10-14)
Location: Como Estate is located on 1.6 private river-front acres abutting the Bohemian Grove in Monte Rio, just a few minutes from downtown's movie theater, dining, and large public beach with boat rental and concession stand.
House: What a wonderful find: leave your cares behind and come to the historic "Camp Como," now the beautifully restored 1910 Victorian Como Estate (2500 sf). The spacious living room has two seating areas, one around a massive stone fireplace, and one around a Cable TV with DVD and VCR, opening to a large deck with river view. The eat-in kitchen has seating for eight, and also opens to the deck which features outdoor dining for six. This home sleeps 10 on two levels plus a cottage. Upstairs there are two bedrooms with king and queen beds, and two queen sleepers in the living room. Downstairs, there's one bedroom with a king bed, and one room with a queen bed (this room has no privacy from persons coming down the stairs or out of the bedroom across the stairway). A short distance from the main house is a charming rustic cottage, sleeping two, built into a massive redwood stump; this cottage has its own river-view deck, but no bathroom. The main house has two baths, one with shower, the other with tub/shower. If you want to stay connected, there is high-speed Internet access.
Grounds: Como Estate offers great privacy behind an electronic gate. The grounds are beautifully landscaped to provide areas from which to enjoy this truly spectacular natural setting amidst drifts of hydrangeas, redwood groves, willow trees, and rhododendrons. This property includes a full river view, an expansive lawn, loungers, and a private beach with kayaks. Off the main house, the large deck has a gas barbecue, dining set, and comfortable seating. Just outside the downstairs bedrooms, there's a hot tub on its own deck in the garden and a cabana (unheated) with plumbed toilet and shower with hot water. There's a very easy, short path to the beach.
Note: This home can sleep 11 - 14 for an additional $100/night.
Guest Book Comments:
October 2, 2006:
"We stayed at the Como Estate for my little birthday getaway and everyone was thrilled with the beauty and location of the property. Not only was there ample space for us all to gather around the bbq, there are so many beautiful places to go for a quiet moment alone. The gardens, the beach, the house, the fireplace, the bbq (we ate a lot!) and the kayaking all contributed to a perfect weekend of rest and relaxation. Everyone wants it to be the location of next year's birthday celebration. My mom and dad came by for a few hours on Saturday afternoon and within minutes my mom was laying out plans to have our next family reunion there. Fantastic, fantastic place!"

"Como Estate is a lovely place to stay, hang out and lounge with friends & family. It's cozy, warm and very relaxing. Kayaking down the river was fantastic. It was a great place to hold our first annual....event. We will be back!"
