About this property
Sunny Poolside Winecountry Retreat
Enjoy the best of wine-country outdoor living in this spaciously appointed home whose inside effortlessly transitions to the ample private hilltop backyard and pool with views of distant redwood-covered hills above and vineyard valley below. Enjoy country comfort with multiple outdoor living rooms and modern amenities. Close distance to Johnson's Beach on the Russian River 5 minutes by car or 15-20 minutes by foot. Minutes to west Sonoma's best vineyards and appellations, the scenic Sonoma California coast and Hwy 1, and historic Armstrong Redwoods State Park. We are located on the road to Armstrong state park.
Close at hand are stellar cycling, kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, and hiking opportunities. The climate in west Sonoma county is some of the best California has to offer and graced by the superb vineyards (and tasting rooms!). Hot dry inland climates mix with cool coastal marine influences to produce the perfect mix of warm comfortable days and pleasant and sultry evenings filled with an abundance of stars and the soothing song of crickets.
This home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Each of the generously sized bedrooms is set up for family or group accomodations. The two larger bedrooms each have a king bed while the third bedroom has a queen bed. One king bedroom has a couch that converts to a double bed while the other has a queen matress in the large closet that can be set up as an extra bed. There is also a twin matress in a closet along with daybeds in each king bedroom that make good beds for young kids.
The fully remodeled kitchen is fully provisioned with gear by the owners who love to cook. You'll find all the accouterments necessary for whatever cooking you may wish to do. Gas range and oven, appliances, placesettings for up to 20, outdoor gas barbeque, and generous indoor and outdoor dining area.
The beautifully landscaped backyard includes lavender garden, flowers, raised bed gardens with fresh vegetables and herbs, 6 person hot tub/spa, and 32' x 14' in-ground pool with 1600 sq foot pool deck and area. Backyard also includes lounges, outdoor seating, outdoor dining, kitchen, BBQ, lawn, fireplace, tons of sun, and all the privacy and space you could hope for. Lots of lawn games and activities included in storage to round out your vacation.
Please note that Sonoma County enforces "quiet hours" outside from 9 pm to 9 am each day and no amplified sound is allowed outside for vacation rentals at any time.
Pool heating is included in nightly rate between June and September. In other months, guests may pay cost of heating pool as an extra fee. One time fee of $150 to heat from cold, plus $50/addition day to keep warm.
Cancellation policy - full refund if booking canceled 30 days in advance of arrival date. Half refund less fees if canceled 15 days in advance. No refund if canceled less than 15 days in advance. Note that we are honoring full refunds at any time if you have to cancel for reasons related to the COVID-19 pandemic on the honor system.

About the host
Hosted by Chris Burmester and Lisa Etherington

We love the west Sonoma region of California and love to host people in our beautiful home in the heart of region. Spending half our time in San Francisco, California, we love to escape to the beautiful wine country to cycle, hike, swim, boat, and enjoy the scenic beauty and incredible wines and food this area of the world has to offer.
Why they chose this property
For us, this home combines nearly the perfect combination of a rural wine-country feel with views of wooded hills and vineyards, while being sunny, private, and quiet and only a 10-15 minute stroll to town and all the bustling activity of the historic Russian River resort area. The house itself for us combines the best of mediterranean wine country feel with high ceilings, spacious rooms, artisan-crafted wooden doors and hand-hewn beam ceilings, and black-smithed hardware and masonry walls all with a modern, mid-century feel. The furnishings are comfortable, modern eclectic style with lots of room to spread out and get comfortable for you and your guests.
The house spills effortlessly into the surrounding backyard for the best of indoor/outdoor living.
