The house was beautiful and Guernville is amazing. The rental company responded within minutes, answering every question we had. We went during rainy season and it was very cozy. The town has amazing food, shops, and people! Shout out to Benny at Benny’s Coffee. We will be back for summer. Thank you Paradise!

We had a wonderful stay at Naomi’s property. The home is very peaceful with a serene setting, and the soothing sound of the river flowing nearby made it incredibly relaxing. The house is very roomy and filled with natural sunlight, which made mornings especially enjoyable while having breakfast and taking in the river views.The home was spotless and well maintained, with plenty of amenities. The kitchen was fully furnished and had everything we needed. In the evenings, we loved stepping out onto the balcony to enjoy the quiet surroundings and even stargaze right from the property.The neighborhood is calm and quiet, offering great privacy while still feeling safe and welcoming. Naomi was a great host, top notch comms. Overall, a beautiful and relaxing place, perfect for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature.

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful house. It was one of the cleanest VRBO’s we have ever stayed in. The cozy couch and chairs with the view of the river was our favorite spot. The private dock was great and the river there is deep enough to jump in. We enjoyed relaxing on the dock and using the SUP’s provided. The management company was great to interact with and provided clear instructions for check in/out. Korbel is a short drive with excellent champagne tasting and the free tour is a must. We also enjoyed the beer and food at the Russian River Pub. We enjoyed our 3 day weekend here and would definitely book again.

Wonderful stay for Thanksgiving celebration. Our favorite part was the sunroom off the kitchen where we could watch wildlife on the river. We saw egrets, otters, cormorants, and much more! We typically spend time at the Russian River during the summer months when the river is super busy. We enjoyed the fall experience of nobody on the river. It was peaceful with beautiful light changes throughout each day creating painting like views. Our guests found their bed to be comfortable. We thought the king bed was a bit soft yet we slept well. The kitchen was well appointed for serving a holiday meal. The furniture was comfortable. The deck and hot tub were enjoyable and fairly private. The location so close to downtown Guerneville was ideal for our stay. Thank you for the lovely card, coffee and magnet welcoming us. Would rent again in the future.

Good river fun

The property is true to the pictures. It's clean, open concept kitchen and family room with a beautiful overlook onto the river. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans with appliances. No frills with the spices and condiments, so make sure to bring what ever you need. Beds were comfy. Kayak and paddle boards were great and easy to use. The dock was a little under water, but we were able to sit on chairs and enjoy the river. Overall, a great experience and we'll be back next year.

Beautiful home

We were on a girls trip celebrating our 50th birthdays and had an amazing stay at the riverfront home in Guernville. The home was clean and had everything. The beds were super comfortable. You can not beat the location or the views. We enjoyed sipping coffee every morning watching paddle boarders and kayakers go by and listening to all the birds. We would definitely go back.

About the host

Hosted by Naomi Smith

Host profile image
After years of working in the short-term rental market and managing multiple departments, I took a leap of faith, earned my Sonoma County Property Manager certificate, and began managing properties independently in 2021.

As a lifelong resident of the Russian River area, I truly enjoy hosting visitors and sharing this region with them. My goal is for every guest to leave with a smile and the desire to return for another stay.

Why they chose this property

Managing a riverfront property in Guerneville allows me the excuse to take a break along the river banks each time I visit Paradise. Guests love the location for its' unobstructed views of the Russian River, its seasonal river access, 2 single kayaks, and of course, the hot tub.

What makes this property unique

This home is located just far enough out of town to feel removed from the local activities, yet close enough to enjoy a short walk for lunch, ice cream, or an early dinner.

Situated less than a five-minute drive from Guerneville, the property is perfectly positioned along the riverbank for easy access to all the area's recreation. The home features modern furnishings and an open floor plan, and is professionally cleaned between every stay.
