The Attic At The Red Chateau - In The Heart Of The Russian River Wine Valley

The Attic at The Red Chateau was exactly what I needed for a quick, one-night get away from the city. Located only a couple miles from Guerneville, the Attic is a cozy studio unit literally nestled in the trees and is perfect for couples or someone traveling solo. The decor is classy and the space is clean and inviting. There is a great deck space at the entrance of the unit and cool little bench perched at the corner of the unit giving you views over the trees and surrounding neighborhood. Russ was a fantastic host, providing a personalized note when I arrived, and having met him on-site - gave me great tips on what to do in Guerneville and how to access the river (only a 5 - 10 minute walk from the unit). All in all, a wonderful place to stay and enjoy what the area has to offer. My only regret was that I didn't book it for an additional night!

What a charming little place! The "Attic at the Red Chateau" is one of the coziest places where we have ever stayed (and we have stayed at a lot of places!). This little gem is filled with tasteful details and amenities (Cable TV, AC, electric fire place, overhead fan, etc) which made our stay not only visually pleasing but also quite comfortable. The Chateau is centrally located, making it quite easy to go into town (Guerneville), the local wineries, or enjoy the river adventures. The road to get to the destination is 1 way and a bit rugged... but even this, we loved, as it gave us the feel of being "in the county," even though at the end we are just a few meters from the main road.

Lastly.... a shout-out to the hosts... they made our stay quite welcoming and fun... it felt as we were amongst old friends!

Loved the view, surrounded by trees. It was quite and clean.

The Attic was comfortable and cozy. Everything that we needed was there. Every window made you feel like you were living in the trees, the bedroom view was great you woke up to the trees with the sun lightly filtering through. Absolutely lovely. The location was great for anyone that wants to go to wineries and get the feel of the "small towns".

Our host Russ was very nice . Go and enjoy!

For our five days we enjoyed exploring the Russian River and relaxing in the Attic. We found it peaceful once we arrived at the Attic At the Red Chateau. We loved the views from the windows and the deck. We had plenty of spaces to read and relax and the bedroom area is comfortable. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the evenings. The bathroom was exceptionally well designed, I think I want to copy it at home.

We thought the location was very good too. We spent most of our time in the Russian River areas of Sebastapol, Guerneville, and back and forth to Healdsburg. We did explore Santa Rosa (for dinner) and Petaluma (for shopping in the historic downtown district). We spent one evening in Calistoga and the drive back to The Attic was fairly easy in the evening.

At first we were rather disturbed by the one way, narrow, almost unpaved road that wound through the neighborhood to get to the Attic at the Red Chateau. Parallel parking along side the property on a slight hill was a bit unnerving, but we got the hang of it. After that bit of "shock", we were able to accept it and enjoy our stay. We came and went as we pleased.

The Russian River area is now one of our favorite travel destinations. The Attic at the Red Chateau is a good to place to settle down for a 5-6 days. The owner of the property was extremely helpful and friendly.
