Walk just a few blocks to downtown Guerneville and sun-splashed Johnson's Beach from this comfortable Russian River home! Whether your plans involve peaceful days of wine tasting, swimming, or floating the river in kayaks, this location can't be beat.
Built in 2014, this home sits among the trees on walkable Old River Road. It's less than half a mile to the center of Guerneville, a scenic riverside town known for its eclectic restaurants and shops. Rent kayaks and canoes at Johnson's Beach (half a mile), treat your kids to a day at Pee Wee Golf & Arcade (half a mile), and unwind afterwards at Stumptown Brewery right up the road (three-quarters of a mile). You'll also be incredibly close to the beautiful Korbel Winery (two miles), Northwood Golf Course (three miles), and Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve (three miles).
The house is a great place to relax after a day of Russian River activities. Light the gas grill for a barbecue dinner and watch your kids enjoy the swing, slide, and play structure in the yard. The interior is well-equipped and inviting, offering stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, mini-split air conditioning in each room, board games to play in the living room each evening, and smart TVs in the bedrooms to lull you into a restful night's sleep.
Finally, this home includes multiple stairs to the front door. Guests with mobility issues may find navigating the property challenging. We encourage you to consider this when booking to ensure a comfortable and safe stay.

It was a birthday weekend away with family and the space was the icing in the cake! Had everything I was looking for this weekend. The space was clean and well appointed: fenced in yard for my dog; great location; plenty of parking and easy, stress free communication. I would definitely come back again!
We had a great 3 night stay in Guerneville. The house was pristine when we arrived. We travel with our dog, and it was perfect for him. The deck area is fully fenced and gated. The location is superb. Downtown is an easy walk. We would definitely recommend it.
Such a great little spot! Perfect location, easy to find, super fair price and checkout asks are incredibly minimal which is such a nice element of hospitality you don’t see often in home rentals. It has everything you need for a guerneville getaway. Thank you!

The home was quite and comfortable. Easy walk to a lovely town, and lots of great wineries and eateries with live entertainment.
The best location in town! Getting Ubers or taxis can be really hard out there but this house is less than a 10 minute walk to downtown and the beach so it’s perfect for enjoying all the great restaurants, coffee shops and bars. We loved it!
Clean, cute, good location. Walkable to downtown. Good kitchen space, large deck area. We enjoyed our stay!

Great river getaway
We loved staying here. The AC got us through the heatwave and the location was perfect-close to town and river spots! The home was comfortable and the perfect place to recharge after all of our river adventures. Would love to stay here again!

Nice unit in a great location
The unit was even nicer than the online photos. Lots of trees and greenery outside was well. Easy walk right into the main part of town. Very dog friendly as deck is fully gated. May come back with my pup.

Beautiful and peaceful
The layout is perfect for traveling with someone. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, the space is nicely decorated and clean. It felt very homey. The walk to downtown is fine for people who are in good health to walk. A little tough if you’ve had knee injuries so you may want to drive although everything is super close. I love that the owners left a list of all the local restaurants and places you can get rentals. Over all I would definitely recommend staying here
The toilet in one bathroom does not flush, suspect the valve might be a little plugged, not allowing enough water flow. Only trickles. Other than that, loved it. Thanks, Jim

Thank you for sharing your feedback, we're pleased you loved our home! That said, we apologize for the issue you encountered with the toilet and are happy to report it has been resolved. We enjoyed having you as our guest and we hope to host you again.
Place was clean and comfortable. Easy check in. Provided with access code that is a full 10-digit phone number...so not easy to memorize and had to bring code with when leaving the home. Good location in terms of closeness to town for easy walking. Loud in terms of being located on road just behind the main highway. Weird in terms of the back dirt road seems to be used as a dump for random housing appliances and garbage halfway between home and traffic light. Comfortable inside, bedding and furniture. Limited kitchen condiments. Stayed cool enough with cooling units in each room on 98 degree days. Nice deck.
