Cozy Cove ~ Family Retreat in the Woods! Walk to River
Cozy Cove is a quintessential Russian River cabin! Less than a block from a fantastic neighborhood beach known as Cozy Cove, the house provides beach chairs, life vests, sand buckets and shovels, and an old fashioned red wagon to carry all your toys to and from the house. Your family will appreciate the simplicity of relaxing, cooking, playing at the river and in the basement recreation room with a ping-pong table and more kid's activities! The front porch catches abundant sunlight and includes cozy seating, propane BBQ and dining table.
Inside, the kitchen, dining and living rooms are open for maximum fun while cooking and hanging out. Relaxing beds and ample storage in each bedroom mean you'll be comfortable day and night.
Walk to town! Cozy Cove is just a hair over a mile from Main Street, Guerneville, and all the shops, restaurants, wine tasting rooms and art galleries! The historic walking bridge shaves just a smidge off the walk and carries you to downtown without walking along cars for the last leg of the journey.
Cozy Cove is part of a tight knit residential neighborhood with a mix of permanent residents and vacation homes. Guests and neighbors relish the peaceful nature of this community, so we ask guests to pay close attention to the posted quiet hours and respect the neighborhood's slower pace of life (and driving).

We were 2 couples coming to the Russian River valley to cycle. the house was in an excellent location for us to do the riding we wanted to do. The house was very comfortable. The shower was awesome! We cooked in 3/4 nights and had every thing we needed. It was a great spot

Great spot to get to know the Russian River Valley. The red woods are incredible against the backdrop of what feels like a private river, friendly neighbors and plenty of places to eat dinner out or bring food in. The local pizza is also delicious! Only 30 minutes to the ocean or 15 minutes to plenty of wineries.
This house was perfect for our weekend on the River. We stayed with my mother in law and three young children. It was the perfect house for us and had everything we needed (including children’s toys). We definitely hope to stay again soon!

Hello Keisha, We are so glad you all enjoyed your stay! Thank you for being such wonderful guests-we hope to host you all again soon :)
We enjoyed our stay for a long weekend. This home allowed everyone to have their own bedroom. Our only recommendation would be for more seating in the living room like a larger couch or sectional and a smart TV!

Hello Lianne, Thank you for staying with us and being great guests! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you all again :) We truly appreciate your feedback
Beautiful house in a forest location on a decent walking distance from the village. The whole place is well equipped for a longer stay. The neighborhood is very quiet with not much traffic. Everything you need for a longer stay is there. Communication with property management is easy and fast. Highly recommend

Cozy cove
This house needs work, the front deck needs to be sanded and treated. The toilet in the hall leaked and the one in master toilet set was broken. Also the shade in the living room is falling down.
The size was accommodating and the beds were cozy.
We did have a good time.

Hello Catherine, We are glad you had a good time at Cozy Cove and thank you for your review. We are so glad we were able to get a plumber out to the home on such short notice to fix the hall toilet! We always encourage guests to report any and all issues as they arise and would have loved to have the chance to help with the toilet seat mentioned and living room shade.
We value your feedback and would love to host you again.
We are bicycling ladies from Reno who chose the Guerneville area to spend a few days togther, celebrate a birthday and ride through the wine country and out to the coast. The house was perfect for us. There were plenty of beds. It was tidy and clean and sweetly tucked away in a quiet neighborhood close to town.
We highly recomemend this property for anyone wanting to visit this area.....wineries to the sea!

We would definately stay at this place again. We had a blast and it was perfect for making great memories. It was a short walk to the river and perfectly set in the redwoods.
This house is great. It has everything you need and want and it is right next to town. The owner and property manager are on top of it and if anything comes up they respond asap. It is 5 minute drive from Johnson's beach (that Best!) or you can walk to the river if you prefer a quieter spot for a while. It has three nice size bedrooms: one with a private bathrooms and a queen, one with a single and a double bed in it and a third one with a queen. The second bathroom is big and nice. Laundry if you look for that too. The kitchen has everything you need to cook nice dinners and even desserts. There is also a great grill in the front porch that can hold food for a crowd.
Guests have access to beach towels, beach chairs that are light and easy to carry and an awesome cooler bag that I wish I own.
In the evenings I turned up the lights in the front porch wrapped myself in a blanket and enjoyed looking at the ski under the majestic redwoods surrounding the house. We had a great time!

About the host
Hosted by Russian River Vacation Homes
We are Russian River Vacation Homes, a part of D&G Equity Management, Inc., a family owned and locally owned/operated property management company.
Our Story: In 1980, D&G founders and owners Michael and Patty saw a need in the area for habitable, affordable housing. At that time, many of the little cabins along the Russian River, originally built as summer cabins, were unsuitable for year-round occupancy. D&G assisted property owners with fixing up and renting their cabins. As the largest property management company in western Sonoma County, D&G Equity Management continues to be a staple in the Russian River community.
Russian River Vacation Homes is an off-shoot of D&G. One fine day in 1985, Michael's client, Bob, asked "Hey Mike, can you rent my cabin out just for the week or weekend instead of by the month?" Michael said "Sure!" and Russian River Vacation Homes was born. As renting vacation rentals became more popular, Russian River Vacation Homes grew into a full-time business with its own office. Today, Russian River Vacation Homes professionally manages over 60 high-quality vacation rentals.
We strive to make each and every stay the best one ever. If you have any questions or concerns about reserving or staying with us, please don't hesitate to contact us! We are here to help.
Why they chose this property
Guerneville is the largest town on the Russian River, and has a variety of excellent restaurants and shopping. There are many wineries within 15-20 minutes. Guerneville is also home to the amazing Armstrong Woods, and it's just a quick drive out to the coast! Guerneville is a fun and free spirited town that makes for a great getaway!
What makes this property unique
Cozy Cove is an excellent home for families! Adults will love all the comforts of up upstairs, and the kids will love the downstairs rec room with ping pong! Just a short walk to a local Russian River Beach, and a few minutes drive to downtown Guerneville!
