Wonderful getaway with family and friends

Spent a weekend here with family and friends. The vacation home is beautiful and very tastefully done! Offers spectacular views from front yard and backyard, and lots of entertainment with the game room and swimming pool. David is a warm and welcoming host, very easy to communicate with. We had a great time, and would definitely recommend this vacation home to those visiting the area!

Beautiful, relaxing and absolutely perfect!

We loved the property, especially the pool and backyard garden area. We did a ton of cooking and were able to use many of the herbs and the outdoor seating area. The game room was also a big hit with our crew. The bedrooms were spacious and spread out so everyone had the ability to enjoy some downtime.

Great spot for a weekend on the Russian River with friends

Picturesque stay for big families

My family of 8 stayed at this property and we really enjoyed our stay. What made it the most special to me was that you could tell this was a special place for the home owner; the front garden was truly a haven for travelers from the city. Beds were comfy and the amenities were great, definitely planning on staying there again

Great house with amenities

I stayed in this house with my fiancée and ten friends, and it was perfect! The house's interior is very nice and spacious with plenty of room for everyone. The front and back yards are gorgeous with fruit trees / vegetable plants (that guests are allowed to eat while staying there), places to quietly sit and read, a pool, hot tub, lounge chairs, etc. The kitchen is well stocked with the basics - we cooked all our dinners at the house - and there are both indoor and outdoor tables that comfortably seat 12 people. It's in a quiet neighborhood less than five minutes from Armstrong Redwood State Park and downtown Guerneville. David was very nice and quick to answer my questions while we were preparing for the trip. We loved our time at the house and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to spend some time in the Russian River area!

Wonderful house exactly as advertised, with very attentive owner and property manager. House is perfect for a retreat or reunion. We especially appreciated the well stocked kitchen (so many VRBOs assume their guests eat TV dinners and pizza) and the edible garden, making this a chef's paradise!

Perfect house for a large group weekend getaway!

We loved staying at David's property! It's well maintained and easy to find / settle into. There are spaces for 12 adults to sleep comfortably including lots of extra sheets and towels. The hot tub was a great touch on a slightly cool day, and the house's proximity to both parks and wineries couldn't be beat. The kitchen was super well stocked other than a few cooking staples (but we left our oil and seasonings behind for whoever is up next!) but that wasn't a major problem at all. David was communicative and accommodating as well, which was helpful. Definitely recommend.

Great time, responsive host

We stayed here for a long weekend for our wedding in Sebastopol. Overall everything was great, a few issues popped up at the property but the host was quick to respond (dispatching someone the same day). The property itself has a ton of sleeping space, and a great big backyard. The house felt very private, with a large front gate and high fences all around the property. It was a bit of a drive to most places (Sebastpopol or Santa Rosa), but I felt it was worth it with our large group. It was great to have so many of our friends stay in the same place for the wedding!
