🌊 Guerneville Riverfront Home | Private Dock + Kayaks + Walk to Town | Hot Tub

About This Home
Escape to the Russian River at this rare riverfront home in the heart of Guerneville, where private river access, walkable downtown convenience, and relaxing outdoor spaces create the ultimate Northern California getaway. Perfect for families, friends, and group vacations, this spacious retreat offers the kind of riverfront experience guests search for — and rarely find.

Sleeping up to 8 guests, this 3-bedroom home with bonus sleeping space and 3 bathrooms features a private dock, seasonal kayaks, a hot tub, multiple living areas, and a game room designed for easy group stays. Launch directly onto the Russian River from your backyard, swim just steps from the house, or spend the day relaxing by the water before soaking in the hot tub beneath the trees.

Walk to downtown Guerneville in minutes for local restaurants, wine tasting, bars, and shops, then return to your peaceful riverfront retreat for sunset views and evenings spent together outdoors. This welcoming home offers the perfect balance of river access, location, comfort, and laid-back Sonoma County charm for unforgettable Russian River vacations.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! I booked this place for my bachelorette weekend. The home was clean and well-maintained, it is clear the hosts take great care of the property.The house was incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax after a day swimming or browsing the shops nearby. We loved having such easy access to the river and being just a short trip away from town. It really offered a great logistical experience for such a short trip.What truly set this stay apart for us were the thoughtful extra touches. Finding a basket of snacks waiting for us, bathroom stocked with toiletries, cool historic art of Guerneville on the walls.If you’re looking for a cozy and perfectly located stay, I cannot recommend Lily Pad enough. We will definitely be back :)
