About The Lily Pad

The Lily Pad is a dog-friendly 3-bedroom Guerneville retreat for 8 with direct Russian River access, a private seasonal dock and kayaks, hot tub, game room, and two river-view decks.

Why This Home Stands Out
Few Guerneville getaways combine true riverfront living with walk-to-town convenience like The Lily Pad. Launch a kayak from your private seasonal dock, spend the afternoon on the Russian River, or stroll into downtown for restaurants and shopping. Back home, river-view decks, a private hot tub, game room, fire table, and large yard give everyone plenty of ways to play or unwind.


Living Spaces
The spacious open living area keeps the Russian River front and center with beautiful water views and direct deck access. Comfortable seating, a Smart TV, gas fireplace, and mini bar create an inviting gathering space for relaxing between river adventures.


Kitchen & Dining
The fully equipped kitchen features granite countertops, a breakfast bar, and dining for eight. River views and easy access to outdoor dining make it just as tempting to stay home for dinner, fire up the gas BBQ, and enjoy the waterfront setting.


BEDROOMS & SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Primary Suite — Queen Bed
A comfortable Queen suite with Smart TV and private ensuite bathroom.

Bedroom 2 — Bunk Bed + Trundle Bed + Twin Daybed
A flexible sleeping space designed to accommodate multiple guests.

Bedroom 3 — Queen Bed
A welcoming Queen bedroom for additional guests.

Additional Sleeping — Sofa Sleeper
Provides extra sleeping flexibility for groups.


Bathrooms
Three full bathrooms provide added convenience for up to eight guests, including a private ensuite in the primary suite and a tub/shower combination.

A washer and dryer are also available for guest use.


Game Room
Keep the fun going off the river in the dedicated game room with a ping pong table and dartboard. An extra refrigerator, full bathroom, and direct outdoor access make this a convenient bonus space for groups spending their days between the yard, river, and hot tub.


Outdoor Living
This is where The Lily Pad really shines. Step outside to two river-view decks, a large yard, private hot tub, gas fire table, horseshoe pit, outdoor dining, and gas BBQ—all overlooking your Russian River setting.
When seasonal conditions allow, head down to the private dock, grab a kayak, and launch directly from the property for a day on the water.
Please note: Dock access and kayaks are seasonal and depend on annual river conditions and dam installation schedules.


DOG-FRIENDLY
Dogs are welcome for a $125 fee per dog.
The yard is not enclosed
Dogs must be crated if left unattended.

Book The Lily Pad
Wake up on the Russian River, grab a kayak and launch from your private seasonal dock, then stroll into downtown Guerneville when you’re ready for lunch or drinks.

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 :)
