SERENDIPITY: Guerneville Hideaway | Hot Tub | Gas Fireplace | Near Town

Amazing cabin, clean, spacious, incredible deck under the redwoods. Great location steps away from Stumptown brewery and close to the river. Would highly recommend for a low key getaway

Lovely house...perfect for relaxing and great location to enjoy the Russian River.

Will come back for sure!

This place looked great in the pics! Decor is sweet - a little mismatched/awkwardly arranged but overall a cabin/tree-house feel. The trees through the deck were beautiful! Neighborhood was quiet. Parking was easy.

1) It was 100 degree weather this weekend. Inside the house was close to 90. We absolutely read that there was no A/C so we were a bit concerned BUT we got there and saw a ceiling fan and a swamp cooler! perfect, right? Swamp cooler is good for one room. Looked around for more fans and there were none... totally needed to circulate the air. Opened some windows/doors but shut them pretty quickly since there are no screens (except for the bedroom) and bugs/mosquitos were happily joining our vacay. We couldnt get the ceiling fan to work. No manual. Just a switch and a remote. We tried it all and even bought new batteries. Finally gave up and it magically turned on about 11pm the first night?! Timer? Still don't know. Helped a little.

2) We had bought food to grill. Started around 8ish. Looked for the porch light to continue. No light? Not working? Had to use our phone flashlight to finish cooking dinner that first night.

We left a msg with property mngmt that first night. When we returned to the house after our river visit the following day they had left 3 large fans for us. Didn't call us back but did leave fans... seemed little weird but we went with it.

3) Sadly, had to take away 2 stars for this stuff:

* The deck had spider webs (you could tell they had been there awhile)... the deck furniture (including the cute cushions) were dirty.

* The floors were dusty and there was dog hair here and there. Totally understand it's a dog friendly place (we brought our pup too!) but it seemed as though it hadn't been swept from the previous furry visitor. I rolled up the inside mat by the front porch because we didn't want our dog to further shed all over it and because we brought him his own bed/mat. As I rolled it up... underneath was SUPER dusty with layers of dog hair. So I swept the floor but even the swiffer/sweeper mop was pretty dirty.

* The bathtub had some sticky soapy film and the mat was moldy. Also random hairs on the floor mat in the bathroom.

I will add that the kitchen/fridge were throughly cleaned. Plenty of dishes and cooking gadgets.

Overall, still not sure I'd stay here again and definitely not when it's 75+ degree weather. Highly suggest adding door and window screens and ensuring cleanliness before guests.

We had a great time in Guerneville, and at this house. It was nicely decorated, clean, and provided multiple spots to relax outside. Although the neighborhood could be loud at times, it was a very peaceful spot to be, for the most part. The home was nicely appointed with the right amount of furnishings throughout. Obviously, they put a lot of thought into this home. Would return to again.

We spent time on the river, which was nice and calm over Labor Day weekend. Armstrong Redwoods was a great family spot to visit. Sonoma Coast State park had beautiful views and a wonderful hike on the bluffs over the ocean. Beautiful area in general!

The home has everything you need for comfort, nicely decorated, clean and really loved the deck with the redwood trees and hot tub. It's perfect for a short gettaway from the hectic city life. I would definitely come back in the future.
