Perfect Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time staying at the Happy Days house, right in the heart of Guerneville. Everything there is to do, in town, is all within walking distance; the river, shops, the bank, grocery store, bars, and restaurants.Very convenient. 100% would book here again.

House needs some basic upgrades

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Despite the central location, the house badly needs some very easy things that would help. Broken blinds and no curtains in the bedrooms meant waking up with the sunrise every morning. Lack of AC meant fans blowing on your face to sleep. Kitchen was as bare bones as it could be. Lack of comfortable living room furniture wasn't ideal.

Happy Days in the heart of Guerneville

We enjoyed our week here. The place is well maintained and the beds super comfy. It's a great location - between the coast and wine areas - and walking to restaurants in the town was a plus. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect for Our Group

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Happy Days and hope to return in the future. There are multiple spaces for hanging out which made it perfect for a rainy weekend - the high-ceilinged living room, where we enjoyed having a fireplace, the large dining table where we played board games, the rec room downstairs where we revived our pingpong skills. It's so lovely to be able to walk anywhere in downtown Guerneville in minutes without driving. We are major fans of Happy Days!

Great location

We recently stayed for about a week and really enjoyed calling this our home away from home. 2 short blocks from the main road with restaurant, shops and bars. The outdoor backyard was nice to sit in the afternoon. Overall, great, comfy place to stay and relax among the redwoods and river!

nice place near Guerenville

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home is very nice and the pictures are pretty accurate. Location is great and easy walk to the town with lots of good places to eat or just get coffee. There is a nice grocery store there too. Near by the Armstrong Redwoods State Reerve, which is just beautiful and really required for a visit. We were staying there for our daughter's wedding (held nearby) and for that event, we could have used a few mirrors! Only one bathroom has a over-the-sink mirror and there was one in a bedroom. Hangars were minimal (we left a few). Overall the home was comfortable, the kitchen well appointed. It would be a nice place to stay in the area.
