This property is beautiful, surrounded by forest and redwoods. It has plenty of space, amenities, and is clearly cared for with love and an attention to detail. Thank you for a lovely stay!
We had a great time at Lily Pad! The perfect location on the river and an easy walk into town. The house is beautiful and the basement offers a great play space for the kids. We plan on making this a regular trip for our family!
We had a wonderful time, making sweet memories with our family. The house is super cute with an amazing backyard and came with kayaks, and it was right on the river, which made it even more magical.

That sounds absolutely amazing! I'm so glad you had such a memorable time with your family. The combination of a charming house, a beautiful backyard, and being right on the river with kayaks sounds like the perfect setup for a magical getaway.
Wow, the property is stunning and can't wait to come back. Beautifully located close to town, yet sitting on the back deck or the dock has you feeling relaxed.

Had a wonderful time. The place was great and had a lot of fun on the river. Excellent wi-fi. Pet-friendly. P.S. there were only five forks in the kitchen. Could have used a couple more.
Very nice house on the river. we will be renting again next year. Did have a power outage for a few hours, but house was equipped with flash lights and lantern, so no big deal.

I'm so glad that you will be coming back again! Happy you were able to find/use the flash lights and lanters during the power outage. See you soon!
My family of 4 had a great time here - we walked to downtown Guerneville, as well as nearby playground and mini-golf, and enjoyed the riverfront dock. We will come again.

Reviewer Comments:
With 3 young teens, this was a perfect place to escape for a long weekend. The house is on the river and sits high above the river bank. Beds are comfortable and the house is layed out well for hanging out at the dining room table, living room or out on the deck. We all also enjoyed the ping pong table and dart board in the basement. The jacuzzi was clean and nice, fluffy towels are provided. The only very small issues we had were not enough silverware (forks and regular knives) - besides that the kitchen was well equipped - we cooked all 3 nights and baked for breakfast and found everything we needed.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re so happy to hear your family enjoyed a relaxing long weekend by the river and that the home was a great fit for your group. It’s wonderful to know you found the layout comfortable, the beds cozy, and were able to spend quality time together — whether around the table, out on the deck, or enjoying the game room and jacuzzi.
We really appreciate you letting us know about the silverware. Your feedback is helpful, and we’ll be sure to take care of that so future guests have everything they need for cooking and dining comfortably. We’re glad you had such a great stay overall and hope to welcome your family back again for another visit soon!
Thanks,

Perfect location! It felt quiet and secluded, yet was walking distance to downtown Guerneville. Snacks and even dog treats/poop bags/toys were provided. The fire pit out back is great for s'mores. We loved our stay.
