Wonderful property with easy access to the river and a big yard for the dog to explore. Hot tub was super fun and downtown was a short walk away. Overall, a great experience.
Our stay was absolutely wonderful! I booked this place for my bachelorette weekend. The home was clean and well-maintained, it is clear the hosts take great care of the property.The house was incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax after a day swimming or browsing the shops nearby. We loved having such easy access to the river and being just a short trip away from town. It really offered a great logistical experience for such a short trip.What truly set this stay apart for us were the thoughtful extra touches. Finding a basket of snacks waiting for us, bathroom stocked with toiletries, cool historic art of Guerneville on the walls.If you’re looking for a cozy and perfectly located stay, I cannot recommend Lily Pad enough. We will definitely be back :)

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that you chose Lily Pad for such a special occasion!
This property is beautiful, surrounded by forest and redwoods. It has plenty of space, amenities, and is clearly cared for with love and an attention to detail. Thank you for a lovely stay!
We had a great time at Lily Pad! The perfect location on the river and an easy walk into town. The house is beautiful and the basement offers a great play space for the kids. We plan on making this a regular trip for our family!
Wow, the property is stunning and can't wait to come back. Beautifully located close to town, yet sitting on the back deck or the dock has you feeling relaxed.

We are so glad you had a relaxing time! We'd love to host you again!
We had a wonderful time, making sweet memories with our family. The house is super cute with an amazing backyard and came with kayaks, and it was right on the river, which made it even more magical.

That sounds absolutely amazing! I'm so glad you had such a memorable time with your family. The combination of a charming house, a beautiful backyard, and being right on the river with kayaks sounds like the perfect setup for a magical getaway.
Had a wonderful time. The place was great and had a lot of fun on the river. Excellent wi-fi. Pet-friendly. P.S. there were only five forks in the kitchen. Could have used a couple more.
Very nice house on the river. we will be renting again next year. Did have a power outage for a few hours, but house was equipped with flash lights and lantern, so no big deal.

I'm so glad that you will be coming back again! Happy you were able to find/use the flash lights and lanters during the power outage. See you soon!
My family of 4 had a great time here - we walked to downtown Guerneville, as well as nearby playground and mini-golf, and enjoyed the riverfront dock. We will come again.
