The description of this place is misleading and I would even say deceitful. The place is more like a shack that feels like it is sliding off the hillside.
It is up a narrow one lane very treacherous road that is barely paved with mostly ruts. If you have a regular car, it will bottom out. There is only room for 1 car and if you meet another car, good luck. It is not “blocks” from the river or downtown, it is a treacherous drive.
It says 2 bedrooms, sleeps six. The main house, which is what is advertised, DOES NOT sleep 6 people. There is a queen bed and a full size daybed. Again, deceitful. It could sleep 3 people at most.
They told us that since we are 2 couples, we would be more comfortable having the downstairs unit that they would rent it to us for an additional $50 which seemed like a deal at the time.
Walking into the “main house” you are met with a pungent smell that lingers and never goes away. The kitchen does have a new stove and microwave, but is not what I call updated. Everything else seems like it is falling apart. Even the laminated surface on the cabinets is peeling off.
We chose the downstairs. It is a dump. The shower looks like the owner might have decided to do it themselves while the bathroom itself is not updated and looks haggard, same with the kitchen.
If you look closely, you can see that the supporting ceiling beams downstairs has visible termite damage and when you touch it, dust from the termites just pours through. This can not be safe.

Beautiful and Peaceful
Russian River Privacy is a great description of this property. We wanted to be truly among the Redwoods and we were! The owners provided very clear instructions about checking in and accessing the property and we appreciated their prompt responses to our questions. The only challenge was the very narrow road leading to the house, but we were given clear information about this in advance and knew to just take it slow.
I would stay at Russian River Privacy again if I make a return visit to the area.

Cute cabin high up in the trees. Lovely stay. Road was a little treacherous. Would not drive a sports car up to the house again.

Could not get the hot tub above 100F and it took a while to get there. The on demand hot water for the cottage set at lukewarm. The final full-day there was no hot water in the cottage. Everthing is controlled by Bluetooth remotely, there has to be a better value for you vacation dollar. Took the owner a day to get back at me🙃😴

Magnificent location, if a bit "rough and ready"
We really enjoyed the cabin. It is magnificently situated on a very steep downslope in the middle of redwoods. As others noted, you can either park on the downhill side (requires about 90 steps climb to the cabin) or you can drive along a narrow mountain path with steep drop-off on one side and steep hill on the other, with about 12 steep steps down to the cabin. Definitely not a place to bring your 90 year old mother. But safe for kids and dogs, I think. As others noted, heaven knows what we would do if we crossed paths with someone on the high road, I guess we would have to do some tricky reverse driving. But we came in and out a few times and didn't cross paths with anyone.
The cabin has everything needed, the kitchen, while small, is very well outfitted with what is needed for preparing decent meals. The hot tub was amazing.
This cabin is definitely on the "rough and ready" side though, the master bedroom is nice but the second bedroom is small. Heating could be an issue because the main room has the main heater supply and the bedrooms could be chilly. But we thought it was ok. We also noted that some of the electric outlets didn't work but once we sorted out which were on and which were off, we were fine. Shower curtain would be improved if it would be a lot less stiff, it doesn't lay well around the bathtub/shower.
One hitch was that when we arrived we noted that there was not much propane, there are 5 tanks but only one of them had any and it was half-empty. There are a few nice toys that take propane, like the BBQ and the fire-pit table The owner apologized profusely and offered to reimburse us if we went down to the town to pick up more, which would not have bothered me but I guess some guests would be annoyed. As it turned out we managed with what we had.
Overall, pleased with the place. If you come here you should have a healthy sense of adventure, though.

Cozy, clean, had issues
Me and my two girlfriends from college wanted a cozy getaway in the woods to cook, talk and take in the trees and rain. This cute place in the trees fit that order, but not without its issues. When we arrived the unit heater was on to heat the living room. We quickly turned on the two available space heaters for the back headroom and bathroom which were very cold. All outlets were out. No heaters, no lamps. Flipped the outlet switches. After three attempts they came on,…but the stove went out. Flipped the kitchen switches, no stove for the night. We made do cooking in batches in the toaster over — no big deal. By the night the cabin was cozy and warm. Day 2 the stove came on completely on its own and we had a great second night. My third friend slept on the sofa because the twin/trundle wouldn’t pull out and left no room to move. Overall, even with these issues we enjoyed this cute treehouse cabin. It’s just priced too high considering we had to make do on key amenities.

Relaxation in the redwoods
This is a lovely, little house in a very quiet area of Monte Rio. The directions were helpful and Sarah was very responsive when we had a glitch at check-in. Our family was grateful for the peace and quiet of being apart from other houses, and the relaxation of the hottub under the stars!

This property was very clean, convenient and cozy with a lot of assets and is well stocked for vacation cooking. It would be ideal for two couples or two to four singles.. It is beautifully nestled in the redwoods in a quiet neighborhood above Monte Rio.
The directions to the property sent by the owner were very helpful, and do arrive during daylight if at all possible.
The picture is accurate and taken from the road. The owners were very clear that this is not a facility for people who cannot navigate stairs.

Very pleasant house in the redwoods
A little tricky to find, definitely print out the instructions as GPS is not good here. The house was great and having both spaces for 2 couples was great, really enjoyed the barbeque, hot tub and fire tables in the evenings, very sociable space.

Nice Location But Poor Communication
The house was nice but I received very late communication about the property. I had to message the owners to get the check-in information which was not sent to me until the morning of my stay. I sent two more messages during my stay that were never responded to.

It is absolutely beautiful up here and the neighbors are very spaced out, nice private little place to spend time with a family. The road up to the place is definitely a little scary ad its VERY narrow and tiny but other then that we enjoyed it so much. Everything thing was clean and perfect for my my little family definitely plan on coming back.

Great property but not for those who fear heights because of the road. However, there is a parking spot on street below if one is fit enough to climb the steep stairs.
Hot tub amazing in the trees! Quiet and felt like I was in my own private mini-estate. The owner was a fabulous communicator and got back to me almost immediately.

I really enjoyed my stay here and think it’s a great way to enjoy the area from the comfort of a place that feels like home.
The space was absolutely what was promised. The bed was super comfy and clean. It has a great hot tub and outdoor fire table on the deck. And Sara was an excellent host.

Amazing
Loved the place. If your looking to stay inside of a Redwood forest, this is the one.
Only "negatives".
- Many electrical outlets and the heaters didn´t worked.
- To get there you need to drive for 5 minutes on whay my family called "the dead road", extremly narrow road with a cliff on the side.
Possitve:
- Location, location, location.
- Jacuzzi
- Full kitchen
- The vibe

Danielle and Sarah are sisters who grew up in the Bay Area and still live and work close by. We fell in love with the Russian River during many wine tasting trips and events in the area. The beauty captured us and the tranquility drew us to look for our own private retreat. With all the everyday stresses of life we decided we needed a place to unwind and enjoy. When we first saw this home we knew it was it. The privacy and the quiet with all the modern conveniences. I know you will enjoy our lovely home.
