ESCAPE TO RIVERSCAPE

County of Sonoma TOT # 1109N
Max. occupancy day or night 6 people, per Sonoma County Vacation regulations
Sonoma County Vacation Rental Noise Ordinance: Quiet times 9 pm - 7 am

Welcome to RIVERSCAPE where you can escape life's chaos, and enjoy the tranquility the Russian River has to offer. From the spacious covered deck to the recently remodeled and updated house to the private riverside decks and dock, you'll feel right at home, yet so far away. Begin your vacation with a complimentary bottle of champagne, chilled waiting for your arrival.

Riverscape's covered deck features sweeping views of the river, the redwoods, and the lush backyard. Experience luxury outdoor living complete with a 6 person hot tub; an outdoor kitchen with a bar, sink, large gas BBQ, and prep area; an outdoor living room with couches, a 50' HDTV with Directv and surround sound, dvd player, a pool table/ping pong table, and a washer and dryer. On chilly evenings, you can light up the outdoor heater, and close the canvas curtains to keep snugly while listening to the river slide by.

Sliding glass doors run along the entire back of the deck, so you can see what's going on inside, if you are outside, or visa versa. They also bring in a lot of light to the house, and allows for beautiful views, bringing the outside in.

Just off the deck, the backstairs lead down to a large grassy, fenced backyard with a horseshoe pit, and plenty of room to play amongst beds of beautiful flowers, roses, and banana trees. There is also an outdoor shower with hot and cold water to rinse off. Situated under the canopy of an apple tree, is the Boat House which is the perfect place to take a nap on the futon, or change clothes after coming up from the river. The Boat house also has lifejackets, paddles for the kayaks, and other toys to play in the River or the yard with.

Just beyond the yard, the path leads to the River View Deck, with comfortable seating to relax, read a book, take a nap, or just hang out and enjoy watching the river go by. Pull up a stool at the Tiki Bar, enjoy your favorite cocktail, and chill. Just beyond that is another BBQ, and the two (seasonal Mid May - Mid October) waterfront decks--one in the sun, one in the shade-- and the (seasonal Mid May - Mid October) private floating dock where you'll enjoy hopping in one of the kayaks and paddling up or down the river, swimming, or just floating around. At certain times of the year, you may see ducks, Blue Heron, river otters, and possible the foxes that like to hang out in our yard.

The 2 bedroom, 1 bath house (+ outdoor shower) has an open concept design, a newly remodeled kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and all the utensils you'll need to cook the perfect meal.The dining bar comfortably sits 6 people, there is extra seating around the counter bar in the kitchen, and a dining room table as well. The living room boasts leather reclining couches, a 55' HDTV with Directv, dvd player, and surround sound, as well as a wii with games, and plenty of board games. The house has wifi.

There are two bedrooms, each with a very comfy queen size bed. The bedrooms have air conditioners. There is a queen size futon in the livingroom area for extra sleeping space.

Located just 1 1/2 hours from SF, Guerneville is the perfect getaway. Riverscape is just 1 mile from Main Street which boasts a variety of restaurants, a wine bar, the 5 & 10 store, Safeway, antique shops, Pee Wee Golf, and Johnson's Beach. A 1/2 mile in the other direction is Northwood Golf Course with 9 holes of golf (Golf Magazine named it one of the 5 top Alister McKenzie courses in the world!) nestled in the Redwoods, and a few minutes past that is the town of Monte Rio with another nice family beach, and the Rio Movie Theatre. We are 10 minutes to Armstrong Woods redwood forest, and Korbel Champagne Cellars. The ocean is just 20 minutes away, and we are a close proximity to 100's of Russian River, and Sonoma County wineries.

Riverscape has everything you need, and close to many adventures, so you have options to do as much or as little you want to.

Mother/Son Annual Trip of a lifetime

words cannot express how magical our stay was at Lauren‘s place! It started with the beautiful sign on the chalkboard welcoming us to their home and And how much a son means to their mother and how much a mother means to their son. It could’ve been more perfect. The home is perfection every detail and amenity are so far above and beyond. The grounds and all of the magical touches make it like Disneyland in Guerneville from the beautiful lighthouse and everything that lit up at night to waking up to the most beautiful picture spot on the river, made us Never want to leave. We were actually a bit teary-eyed packing up because we felt so at home because of Lauren and the beautiful home they have created. This is an annual for our family for the rest of our lives. The only place I will stay in Guerneville ever! it is our forever VRBO as long as Lauren will have us. We will be there every year with our boys and our family. My girlfriend and I are both single mothers and we have never felt more relaxed and at peace in our home away from home! I give this place 1,000,000 stars⭐️ And recommend it to everyone who values all the little things and the priceless touches that are everywhere you look! From the beautifully appointed room, the towels rolled on our beds, the amazing bathroom and the unforgettable sunroom where we all shared, great memories and times together! This place is truly magical thank you Lauren for giving us a joy that we have not felt ever at any other VRBO!🙏❤️

Very Relaxing Spot

My wife and our friend had a great stay. The property was clean, well maintained, and the kitchen was adequately supplied. Being right on the Russian River was wonderful, and the set up of the outdoor areas was perfect. There were so may spots on the property to hang out and relax - on the covered balcony overlooking the back yard and river, on the grass in the back yard, on an elevated platform overlooking the river, or on the dock on the river. It was great. Thank you.

Nice place

Overall great place. Lots of things to do in the yard. Went kayaking one afternoon which was easy from the dock. The dishwasher was worthless since all the jets are clogged up, so we had to hand wash everything. But other than that, it was pretty clean and easy to find and get to. Very relaxing to sit on the deck at night and listen to the birds. Would recommend!

Lots to keep you entertained

Our weekend was rained out, so luckily the house had lots to keep us occupied- hot tub, pool table, video games. The outdoor deck was comfortable and sheltered from the rain, so at least we got fresh air. The property manager was very nice and responsive. She even quickly brought us over a replacement coffee maker when the old one died out. That was much appreciated

A special place.

My partner and I stayed here for a weekend, and we truly enjoyed our stay. The place was so inviting, very clean, and had everything we needed. Checking in and out was a breeze. We loved the outdoor living area with the hot tub, fire pit, grill, and pool table. It rained the first night. After we grilled some short ribs, my partner and I enjoyed the hot tub while listening to the rain fall and enjoying the view of the river and the majestic trees. We will def be coming back!

Our Best Stay Ever!

Everything was execellent: the inside and outside of the property was comfortable, clean, friendly, with all of the modern conveniences one would expect...and more. The location was central for all of our planned excursions. Lauren provided restaurant recommendations which we took adavntage of, and all were more than satisfactory. We would come back in a heart beat! (One recommendation: add a note to the info book on where the thermostat is located. Imagine a "funny face" here!.)

We had a wonderful time. The house was clean and had plenty of room for our family of four. The kitchen was well stocked with all the cooking tools you could need. We especially loved all the activities available. We had a great time kayaking, playing ping pong, enjoying a fire by the river.

Fun on the River

Been coming here for 40 years now. Never gets old. Family loves it! Riverscape has something for everyone. Ping pong, hot tub, games, outdoor hot shower, hammock, tables and lounges down near the water. Four kayaks, paddle boat, and huge raft! That’s the highlights. No dogs is a downer for me because I have two dogs. Love the birds, an egret an blue heron, hawks, and turkey vultures. Great vacation was had by all!

About the host

Hosted by Lauren Cabitac

Host profile image
Our family moved to the Guerneville area over 20 years ago to escape the hectic San Francisco lifestyle. We spent many weekends vacationing in the area and decided we should just live here. Best choice ever! We live in the unit downstairs from the rental, however; guests have sole access to the all of the homes amenities, yard, decks, river dock, kayaks etc. We may run into each other out in the front of the house coming and going, and we'll make sure to say Hi, or on the river. We have our own dock and kayak.. Please feel free to reach out to us is you need anything at all, or have any questions. Our priority is that our guests have a great time at Riverscape.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house in 2004 because of the large yard, beautiful views, the close proximity to town, work and of course, the inviting river in our back yard.

What makes this property unique

Staying at our house gives you the feeling of being very far away, and on your own little escape. Hence Riverscape. While there are neighbors next door and across the river, there are so many tress you don't really realize they are there, and you feel like you are in your own oasis. Being so centrally located to so many activites, restaurants, wine tasting, the ocean, the river, Armstong Woods, shopping, antiquing, hiking, etc., you'll have lots of options to stay busy, or not.
