The house was as promised with lovely views. It was well furnished and in a quiet country location. All three bedrooms and both baths were downstairs with an open kitchen/living area above. Both levels had great decks. We enjoyed our stay!

Relaxing Stay

The property was clean and well stocked. Everything one needs is provided. I’d recommend driving to the river/beach locations as the walk is on a main highway road. Would definitely recommend to others for a nice little getaway.

Great property - new, clean and well accomdated.

We had a great stay - the beds were small but comfortable. The stairs are a little hard to manage with small children and elderly but otherwise great - and you can access from the outside. Great kitchen, A/C, and walking distance to the amazing Hacienda beach. Perfect distance to the wine country, Thanks!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay at this charming house tucked away in the hills of the Russian River Valley. The area offers a wealth of activities, and the house itself is well-equipped to meet your everyday needs. It also has a great selection of games, both inside and out, perfect for relaxing moments. Our only minor issue was with the beds—they were comfortable for a night, but we found them a bit challenging for a longer stay of four nights. Overall, it was a delightful retreat!
