About Absolute Zen
Redwood hideaway by day, game-room playground by night! Just 2 miles from downtown Guerneville, Absolute Zen is a dog-friendly 2-bedroom, 2-bath Russian River cabin for 4 with a brand-new private hot tub, dedicated game room, forest-view decks, BBQ, and fast WiFi. Float the Russian River, hike Armstrong Redwoods, or explore Sonoma Wine Country, then retreat to your peaceful cabin in the trees. Perfect for couples, small families, friends, girls’ getaways, and dog lovers.

Why This Home Stands Out
Absolute Zen blends peaceful redwood living with plenty of fun. Play pool, ping pong or darts in the private game room, unwind in the hot tub, relax on the forest-view decks, or take the inflatable kayaks out for a river adventure.

Cozy Guerneville Retreat

I could not have imagined a more pleasant stay than Absolute Zen! We wanted a quiet place near downtown Guerneville and this place was absolute perfection. From the moment we drove up to the redwoods towering over the cabin, we knew we were in for a treat. The accommodations were as described: 2 comfortable bedrooms, a wonderful outdoor space out back, a modern, spacious kitchen with everything we needed to cook our meals - and clean, so very clean! We are already looking at our calendars for another stay!

Clean redwood retreat.

We had a great stay over 4th of July. The house was bigger than anticipated and had ample space for two couples and a dog. I wish there was a little bit more outdoor space, but the game room garage was a hit. The neighborhood is nice for walking and close proximity to the river and downtown Guernville.
