We’re all checked out. We cannot figure out how to lock the back doors, even though we tried everything we could. There was a consistent beeping in the garage and it turned out to be the garage door opener on the ceiling was not plugged in. I assume after the painting, so we were able to get it plugged in, but it was beeping every minute which was kind of nerve-racking. So that’s fixed other than that. It was a wonderful space and we really loved it. Thank you.

AbsoluteZen house was lovely

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place was great! Thoroughly enjoyed the house. The neighborhood was a little odd. There were nice houses on either side of us on our side of the street. Across the street there was a dilapidated house falling down, and a parking space with couch and other household items. So that was a little funky, but the redwoods were everywhere and softened the view.

Cozy Guerneville Retreat

I could not have imagined a more pleasant stay than Absolute Zen! We wanted a quiet place near downtown Guerneville and this place was absolute perfection. From the moment we drove up to the redwoods towering over the cabin, we knew we were in for a treat. The accommodations were as described: 2 comfortable bedrooms, a wonderful outdoor space out back, a modern, spacious kitchen with everything we needed to cook our meals - and clean, so very clean! We are already looking at our calendars for another stay!

Absolute Zen is comfortable, well-equipped house in a beautiful setting. The proximity to downtown Guerneville and to all that Sonoma has to offer is great, especially for the price. Highly recommend. I loved the quirky neighborhood that the house is in.

Clean redwood retreat.

We had a great stay over 4th of July. The house was bigger than anticipated and had ample space for two couples and a dog. I wish there was a little bit more outdoor space, but the game room garage was a hit. The neighborhood is nice for walking and close proximity to the river and downtown Guernville.

Relaxing and Enjoyable Thanksgiving!

This cozy home is nestled by trees. It is furnished with just about everything you will need. The property manager/owner was very kind to leave us with stuff we may have needed to make our Thanksgiving dinner perfect. House is very clean and though the parking is a bit cramped, it still perfect for just 2 cars. We spend Thanksgiving in different locations, in different states, and this home for sure will be a home we will return to.

Nicely appointed vacation home

The home was clean, welcoming and very comfortable. Communication by the property manager was very good and quick and they checked in on a few times to make sure everything was going well. We requested extra towels and they got those over the same day. The property itself is remote, so if you want to walk to town, it's a bit of a hike. If you want to be hunkered down, it's a great location for that. We would gladly recommend it.

Comfortable place in the woods

We enjoyed being under the redwoods in a quiet neighborhood. The beds and living room were comfortable, but furniture could use updating. The soaking tub was a highlight. Kitchen was nice. Showers were substandard, one did not drain. Management offered for maintenance to come but we did not want to wait, we were headed to the river. The management company should have taken care of that and not expected us to be there. Overall, the place worked okay for us but for that price I wouldn’t stay again unless they add a hot tub.
