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!
