About this property

The Attic At The Red Chateau - Russian River Wine Valley


In the heart of the Russian River Wine Valley -The Attic at the Red Chateau is located on the top floor of an old river cottage with a private entrance. Upon entry, you feel as if you have stepped into a charming tree-house in the woods. With over 600 square feet (plus a generous sized sun deck) ) , and modern amenities, the space boasts unique angles, interesting design, many windows with views of the forest and waterfall including beautiful old “running glass” rounded windows. Highest speed internet. Although not a chateau and no longer red, the name has remained since 1929. The space invites you to curl up in the corner window seat with a book or sip wine in the sitting area in front of the stove for cozy winter relaxation. For those warmer months there is a private deck and a trail close by that leads you to a sandy beach on the Russian River where swimming, kayaking and sunbathing are popular– about a 7-10 minute walk through Steelhead Beach State Park and lazy river raft - inflate your raft at the park. The ideal location allows you to venture any direction for an abundance of wineries, great restaurants and lots of summer fun and activities. Electric car charging station at parking area.

A quant quiet stay in wine and river country

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.

Relaxation in the Trees

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!

About the host

Hosted by Russ Anger

Host profile image
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.
