Clean, cozy and comfortable. Beautiful gardens and pond w/fountain. Feels like being in a tree house in the redwood forest. Spacious, well planned. Really quite magic.
The Attic is a cozy cabin getaway. The window views to the lush trees make you feel like you’re in a treehouse! Perfect location for a weekend wine getaway.
Such a quaint, clean, unique place tucked away in nature. Easy check in. Russ responded when we had questions or needed anything. Would definitely stay again!
Loved the EV charger and the charming and comfy accommodations.

The Attic was beautiful & comfortable. It was great to wake up every morning & look out at redwoods & the azure sky. We will definitely be back when we are in the vicinity.
Russ was amazing! Active communication and the place was a dream. Photos don’t do the space justice for how magical it is.

Thanks Megan and thank you for being great guests. Hope to see you again sometime.
We had a great long weekend stay. Conveniently located near some great wineries and restaurants. There’s good hiking nearby. If you’re planning a canoe trip in the summer this place is ideally located. Our host made us feel welcomed. A super nice guy. I would stay again next time I’m there.
Really neat place to stay in the woods. Very unique and nice for a getaway to sit outside and look at the stars with some wine and/or beer. Very clean inside and well stocked.

Thanks you so much for staying and for being great guests. Safe travels to you and come back anytime. Cheers!!
A hillside gem! A few steps up to the sunny deck before entering the quaintly appointed pied-à-terre. Windowed on all sides give view to lush treetops. Trickling water from the koi pond below adds to its charm. A short drive to Healdsburg!
The Attic is in a great location that provides ready access to all of the wonderful things western Sonoma County has to offer. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

About the host
Hosted by Russ Anger
I have lived in the Russian River Wine Valley several years. I enjoy traveling, new adventures and exploring, wine tasting, kayaking on the Russian River and Jenner Bay, hiking the forest and the coast, hunting wild mushrooms, making soap and various herb tinctures and I love cooking, particularly vegan dishes. I also have a love for Mexico and try and spend as much time there that I can.
Why they chose this property
The location is centrally located in the heart of Russian River Wine Valley. Central to Healdsburg, Guerneville, Sebastopol and Santa Rosa and best of all, close to the Wine Road. I liked that the property is adjacent to Steelhead State Park and the Russian River and that you have views out of every window into the forest. I love the proximity to the coast. Sonoma County boasts an abundance of gourmet cuisine.
What makes this property unique
This is no cookie cutter house. I like the uniqueness, the old river feel and charm, and the many nooks and crannies. The old antique windows overlooking the forests sets the ideal ambiance for that getaway from it all feel and welcomes relaxation.
