The Artist's Hideaway is a charming, two story, open studio cabin overlooking the quaint Russian River town, Monte Rio. Located 1-1/2 hours North/West of San Francisco, just 15 minutes from the Sonoma Coast and Jenner, 10 minutes West of Guerneville on Hwy. 116.
Our artist's home is an eclectic blend of Italian styling with Moroccan and Art Nouveau details, in a warm, high ceiling cabin. Beautiful features include a Moroccan day bed with a Florentine comforter, and many richly beaded pillows. The upstairs sleeping loft is embellished with golden Venetian bedding. Hand textured and masterfully painted walls, lend an exotic ambiance to the cabin. Upstairs, a lovely breakfast nook pulls the redwood setting in, with its many windows. Other features include a hand sculpted, Art Nouveau inspired mirror, a slate hearth, purple stained redwood floors, stained glass lamps and wall sconces, and French doors which open onto a large deck, overlooking the village, river and western hills.
