The cabin was so amazing! Everything was super clean and cozy and magical! I felt like I was in a treehouse – views of redwood trees out of every window, including the skylight. I loved hanging out on both of the decks, and the hot tub was sublime. Would definitely come again!

This was just the quiet getaway we needed. Cabin was great. Just big enough for two. And the amazing view of the redwoods from the hot tub can’t be beat. The cabin was clean, cozy and toasty warm for the season. We would love to return when the town is a little more active. There were a few dining places we were excited to try, but did not realize the time we booked was more of a sleepy season. We made it work, but it’s such a cute town that we’d love to see it in its full glory.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad the cabin was the peaceful getaway you were hoping for. The redwood views from the hot tub really are something special, and we’re happy to hear the cabin felt cozy and comfortable during the season. You’re absolutely right that the town is a bit quieter at certain times of year, but that’s also part of its charm. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to host you again soon.

Review of the Rueneville Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in this very cute cottage. The outdoor decks were especially charming and was a great opportunity to sit outside in the trees. The property was perfect. The only downside was getting up that narrow road. It can be especially difficult in the rain.
Response from VrboOwner on 11 Nov, 2025
Glad you had a sweet stay. Yeah, most of Guerneville has narrow, paved roads. That is what keeps our area so "foresty" and charming. You just drive a bit slower. Anyway, We would love to host you again, Thanks, Stace
