Duncan House is an extremely fun place to stay. The antique furnishings are gorgeous, the amenities modern, and the grounds are perfect for relaxing. Duncan Mills is a short walk, with fun shops, good food, and music weekend afternoons. This was our fourth visit, and we will be back.

Fun place to be

Had a great time. The property was perfect for our family getaway. Close to the Pacific ocean across from the Russian River. And good food of all kinds close. We were able to do adventure and do yard games in the same day. Family enjoyed it.

awesome place

What was not to love about this place? From comfortable beds, to great location (close to hiking, beaches, cool independent stores), to the awesome antiques throughout the house, to the amazing art on the walls. It was a wonderful place to hang out with friends. I felt like I was staying in a historic museum.

Perfect place for a getaway

This place is fantastic! We stayed a weekend with 3 couples and 3 kids. The house is so beautiful and well appointed. Hot tub was clean. Beds were comfy. So easy to walk into Duncans Mills for a glass of wine. We will certainly return for a getaway weekend with friends. Thank you Karen!

Perfect for our reunion at Casini Ranch

We were attending a family reunion at the Casini Ranch campground. My wife and I and some other family members prefer to camp in something nicer than a tent. This place was absolutely perfect for us. We were able to use the hot tub and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and it was close to our reunion. We went down to Shell beach, Gold coast Coffee and walked downtown while there. Very quaint and comfortable. Would definitely stay again if in the neighborhood.

Peaceful, Lovely & Historic

Our family had such a wonderful stay at the Duncan House celebrating my parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary. We were all impressed by how beautiful and historic the home was. The kitchen had everything we needed and there was plenty of space for everyone to both gather and spread out. We enjoyed the views, the hot tub, the nearby river and ocean, and spending time among big trees. Our host was excellent as well with great communication. And how awesome that we could bring our dog too! 10/10 would stay again!

Duncans Mills Gem

I have stayed at a lot of vacation rentals and the Duncan House exceeded expectations on every level. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with all necessities. All the beds were comfortable and cozy. The entire home from floor to ceiling is beautifully furnished and decorated. The grounds are immaculate. Every square inch of the property has been lovingly cared for. I look forward to coming back!

Historic Beauty in the Russian River Valley

This house is amazing. The historic nature of the home made us think of all that has happened in this area and the people who have lived here. The house is so comfortable with many extras. Each bedroom and bath is beautifully appointed. They've really tried to think of everything a guest might need. We even got to enjoy breakfast while watching the cattle grazing in the meadow next door. Easy access to the shops and bakery at Duncan's Mills was a plus and also the short drive to the coast. We'd love to come again!

Perfect house for a family

The Duncan House could not have been more perfect for our family. The location is great, and is just a short walk to the cute village of Duncans Mills. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need (and about 6 ways to make coffee!). The beds are extremely comfortable and the bathrooms are roomy. We enjoyed the outdoors and spent most of our time on the deck. In fact, we ended up just staying at the house most of the time rather than venturing out. An added plus was hearing the great music being played at the rodeo grounds.
