Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed being surrounded by the beautiful trees and found the setting peaceful and relaxing. We’d love to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway!
So cute! Perfect amount of space for us to cook meals at home and enjoy the outdoors- and loved the outdoor seating on both deck/patios. Snacks were such a cute added touch. Clean and comfortable Would stay again

This is an incredible spot. We have stayed in Guerneville a few times at different places and this one is one of the best. The river is close. The deck is great. The beds comfortable and kitchen well-stocked. Would stay here again for sure.

The home was extremely clean and had lots of kitchen toys to cook with. It was only a few minutes from town. Thank you, thank you thank you for a great time in guerneville!

Place was beautiful. Fully stocked like a home would be. Only complaints were there were a lot of ants and it would have been nice if it was more baby/childproof, especially with the glass and knives in the drawers and the stairs.
Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 8 Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We’re really glad to hear you found the home beautiful and well stocked! We’re sorry to hear about the ants during your stay. Being in a rural area, they can occasionally make an appearance, but we do have regular pest control in place and will absolutely follow up on this right away to address it more thoroughly. We also appreciate your note about childproofing. While the home isn’t specifically set up as a childproof space, your feedback is very helpful, Thank you again for staying with us and for sharing your experience!
Amazing stay in the beautiful treetop retreat. The cabin is beautifully decorated and appointed. We had everything we need for a relaxing, peaceful, sunny weekend getaway. Already looking forward to returning!
What an amazing cabin! Absolutely beautiful and exactly as described. The hosts added so many unexpected touches that were really appreciated. Beds were so comfy and the hot tub was perfect. We also loved the second deck to hang out and have a glass of wine and coffee! This cabin is up 4 sets of stairs which we had no trouble with but just pointing out in case stairs are a problem for you. Guerneville was also unexpected with restaurants that served tasty food. I highly recommend!
Like being in a tree house. The property is well maintained and quiet. Excellent stay.

Girlfriend weekend. We spent a lot of time on the front deck listening to the river and the birds sing!
Armstrong Redwoods is a short drive for a great hike.
Beautiful property. We enjoyed our stay.

We are so glad you enjoyed Sydney's Bird's Eye View of the redwoods and babbling creek ambiance!
They were not playing when they mentioned they’d be a lot stairs but the privacy and views were absolutely worth it. Everything about the house and location were perfect. The hosts were also easy to get in contact with and incredible friendly. We wished our stay was longer and will absolutely be back in the future.
We really enjoyed this place. We've staying in short term rentals in the Russian river area before and this one is our favorite so far. Clean, beautifully appointed, nice treetop vistas, nice hot tub, very dog friendly and good communication from the management company. Very nice creek across the street as well. 2 thumbs up.

This cabin was a perfect weekend escape. It was very private and the hot tub made the weekend. Of all short-term rentals, this one was one of the most well-stocked (with kitchen supplies and extra bedding) and comfortable that I've stayed in.

Clean, updated house nestled in a green forestry setting. We enjoyed the hot tub while relaxing outside. The property is down the street from the river.(chairs and tubes provided) Two min drive to Safeway. Bodega Bay is close by in one direction, and wineries such as Korbel are close in the other. We had a good time. Thanks!

We enjoyed this home a lot. Place is beautiful, clean, and well-equipped. We brought our fur baby too and he had a great time as well. Close to downtown and shops. Host was quick to respond when we asked her to troubleshoot the hot tub. Overall, great experience! Will definitely book again. Thank you!
