Upscale~Russian River~GetAway,Private Beach,SPA,Sauna,All Basics, 3-5 Nights min
We live in San Francisco since 1993. Started renting in the Sonoma, Russian River area different vacation properties in mid 1990s to spend summer time with our kids on the river. Exploring this area (Summerhome Park/Forestville/Guernville) during summer vacations we just felt in love with it. We've got this property from foreclosure (it took 8 months to get it!) in 2010 and finish renovating in 2014. Now we would like to share it with other people.
Our favorite travel destination in US - Sonoma County and Amsterdam in the Old World. Latest visit to Amsterdam - renovated Van Gogh Museum was a killer, must see.
Favorite food - good cheese accompanied with a good wine, you can't beat Sonoma on this one.
Alex purchased this house in 2010
Property completely updated/upgraded since: all bathrooms are new as well as whole lower level. Property located among magic redwoods on the bottom of the Ice Box Canyon - 150 feet from Russian river.
We have our private beach located on 2 separate parcels and can enjoy swimming/boating on the river during Spring - Fall time (from April- until November). A lot of activities around: wine tasting of the World Class Sonoma County wineries, Korbel just across the river.

Night-life, restaurants in Guerneville within 10 min driving. We also love to shop at various antique stores in Healdsbourg and Sebastopol within 15-20 min of driving.
It not usual rental property, this is our family and friends vacation home.
We enjoy it all the time we are able to spend there, the rest time we share it with our guests and we are making sure they are getting the most comfort and service for their money.
The Retreat is located among stunning redwood trees that naturally shade the decks for comfortable outdoor dining and is surrounded by a beautiful fence crafted in Japanese traditions, that gives it ultimate privacy. 1/2 acre land with private beach on Russian River shore.
The weather is generally sunny and beautiful from April through October, yet as our property is also only 35 minutes from the Pacific Ocean, the cooler marine air nearby keeps the summer days from getting too hot. Night time temperatures are cool and refreshing.

This place was perfect for 7 friends to spend a summer weekend together on the river. There was plenty of inside and outside space (3 decks), bathrooms (2.5), towels and kitchen tools. The location is perfectly convenient, easy to find, and all instructions were very clear. The house is clean and inviting with comfortable couches, chairs and beds. Alex is a wonderful host, easy to reach and replies quickly. We would love to return to this gem.
Beautiful place in the redwoods with a nice hot tub. Enjoyed the sauna and jacuzzi tub also. The kitchen was well equipped.
We really enjoyed our stay!
My guys (team of work) really enjoyed their stay there while working in Sebastopol.
The balcony is really private, the batchelor downstair is lovely, the decor and ambiance of the house is really peaceful. The communication and check-in was easy
Would definitly go back again
Beautiful house! Enjoyed the hot tub on the back deck.
Excellent hot tub, sauna, and master bath/shower. It was absolutely fabulous to sit on the covered outdoor couch and watch the birds in the trees between dips in the hot tub. While neighboring houses aren't too far away (100' maybe,) the thematic landscaping and architectural elements are effectively setup to make it a private and peaceful environment. There is about 80-90% tree cover, so it is very shady and cool during the heat of the day.
River access is good, right on a very shallow section of the river that is refreshing to sit in on the provided chairs. Kayaks were a blast.
The location to vineyards was wonderful! The home was very clean. The downside is that we were there during a hot time with no air conditioning. It was quite warm inside and no way to cool it off. It would of been nice to have screens so we could open windows and enjoy the fresh air. Also just a small suggestion, top sheets would of been nice, wash clothes in bathrooms would of been nice too. There are no views of the river and the stairs to the river are quite treacherous. The river is beautiful!
Alex's Place is the perfect spot to get away and slow down. The home is clean and open (lots of floor-to-ceiling windows with breathtaking views), and ideally located (closed to road, quiet, across the river) for some time away to relax and recharge. I came solo but it's large enough for friends,big family, or 2 or 3 couples. Wonderful Jacuzzi and close to (yet far enough from) Healdsburg and Guerneville. A wonderful retreat and Alex was great and responsive!
Our 4 parcels property located directly on the Russian River (2 parcels on the bottom of redwoods canyon and 2 parcels by the river)in the heart of the Sonoma Wine Country, near Healdsburg, Guerneville, Sebastopol and the Pacific Ocean, only a 1 hour drive north of the Golden Gate Bridge and downtown San Francisco.
