Fantastic house with everything we needed for a full week exploring the area. The fire pit was a perfect way to relax after a long day. The kitchen was stocked with everything we could need. Loved snuggling in and watching our favorite shows on a comfy couch with a big tv. We absolutely loved this house.

the house was very small but was cozy and comfortable. The outdoor space was lovely, especially the hot tub. It was a bit noisy with neighbors right above and next door at times. We felt it was a bit overpriced for the size and location but we would be happy to visit again. the house was nicely appointed with thoughtful amenities for guests.

Great getaway weekend!

Had the pleasure of staying at this property for 3 nights with my spouse. We LOVED our time here. The house is a perfect size, cozy, and in a great location. We spent the weekend exploring the towns nearby, as well as, the Mendocino coast. We have already talked about staying here again!

Amazing little bungalow in the redwoods!

My husband and I booked a two week stay here, the property was absolutely amazing! Great interior design, the exterior gardens were also elegantly put together and serene. We enjoyed the fantastic hot tub in the evenings. Plus, it's all conveniently just a mile away from everything in downtown Guerneville. Will definitely stay again!

Perfect Honeymoon Stay!

Having stayed at many a short term rental, there are three simple yet crucial things that make a stay go from good to great: clean digs, comfortable beds, and quality linens. The Black Nest has all of these things and much more. The location is serene, the amenities are quality (hot tub & fire pits especially), and there’s plenty to do in and around the area. We had a wonderful stay for our mini honeymoon in Sonoma County. Choose the Black Nest for your next Russian River getaway - I know we will!

Cozy and tastefully equipped

Black Nest is conveniently located and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the property. The hosts were welcoming and had a small bag of supplies for s’mores which our kids really enjoyed. Though the property is small, it’s well equipped and we had everything we needed. It’s conveniently located with easy access to downtown and the beach. Our kids specially enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor heaters that made for a fun evening activity with s’mores.

Weekend Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We live in San Jose and visited for the weekend. We were immediately struck with how beautiful and well appointed this rental was. Everything was decorated very nicely and we enjoyed every minute. We had a down pour of rain while there, but don't let that make you decide not to go. We enjoyed our wine and the hot tub even while it was raining because they thoughtfully covered the hot tub area with a canopy. Highly recommend staying here!
