The home was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and ideally located in the center of town, providing easy access to everything. The backyard was a standout feature, complete with a lemon tree we picked from and a cornhole game my kids loved!! All adding to the overall enjoyment of our stay.Stacey was an excellent host—highly communicative and attentive, ensuring we had everything needed for a seamless visit. I would 100% return and highly recommend this property to others

We enjoyed our week here. The place is well maintained and the beds super comfy. It's a great location - between the coast and wine areas - and walking to restaurants in the town was a plus. Would definitely stay again.

We recently stayed for about a week and really enjoyed calling this our home away from home. 2 short blocks from the main road with restaurant, shops and bars. The outdoor backyard was nice to sit in the afternoon. Overall, great, comfy place to stay and relax among the redwoods and river!

We were very comfortable with 4 adults and 1 teen ager. The neighborhood was friendly and there were many dining options near. Safeway was in walking distance which was very handy

My sister, her fiancé and myself took our mom for her 91st birthday. It was an easy walk to downtown area, with good restaurants all around. The house was great, very roomy!

We enjoyed the play room with ping pong table, main house nice and comfy. Only thing to note is the play room downstairs is not attached to main house. Walkable to all that you want and also very close to Armstrong redwood Forest for great hikes!

Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm glad you enjoyed Happy Days - its location in downtown Guerneville keeps it close to everything! The listing description does specify that the lower level has its own entrance / exit, but I can understand how that gets overlooked. Thanks and we hope to host you again in the future!
My partner and our friends stayed at this house for pride weekend. The location was absolutely perfect. We were able to walk everywhere. Loved the back yard and front porch. We were very comfortable.

Thank you for your review Keri! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay!
We greatly enjoyed our stay at Happy Days and hope to return in the future. There are multiple spaces for hanging out which made it perfect for a rainy weekend - the high-ceilinged living room, where we enjoyed having a fireplace, the large dining table where we played board games, the rec room downstairs where we revived our pingpong skills. It's so lovely to be able to walk anywhere in downtown Guerneville in minutes without driving. We are major fans of Happy Days!

We had a great stay at Happy Days! Perfect location for summer and so close to a lot of amenities. My only complaint is the parking. The street was really crowded. Even with that we would stay again.
