Retreat to Rise and Shine! Pool, Hot Tub, Walk to Drake's Beach! Game Room!

Bathed in sunlight all day long, Rise and Shine is the perfect spot for families and friends to gather and LOVE the Russian River! With so much to do, you won't want to sleep in - but you have our permission to close the curtains too. The pool and hot tub in the backyard are just part of the multiple levels of decks, patios and yard - all fenced for your safety. Challenge your traveling companions to a game of badminton in the backyard or pool, foosball, and ping-pong in the downstairs recreation room! There's plenty of room to spread out or come together for fabulous meals inside and out. Speaking of cooking, the kitchen was recently updated and is well-stocked - including a coffee and tea station to jump-start the morning!

You won't lack for entertainment and technology either! There are 4 flat screen TVs throughout the house. The master bedroom and living room TVs are equipped with Hulu, HBO, Netflix, Amazon FireStick and surround sound. The rec room TV has cable and DVD/VHS players. And there's a record player (with a selection of vinyl records) as well as iPod mini speakers.

This sleepy residential neighborhood offers an easy walk to the beach with the provided kayaks (seasonal) and relaxed walks with the dog and family. Rinse off at the outdoor shower when you return from the river. Or head into town, the coast or wineries. It's all just minutes away when you stay at Rise and Shine.

Pool Heater:
The pool is kept in swimmable condition year-round, but is heated from late May to mid-September, only. When heated, the temperature is typically between 75 and 80 degrees. The pool has a solar heater, so the heating depends on the abundance of sunshine and weather in the area.

Heat Source:

A/C: The house does not have air conditioning. Being near the coast, the night time temps drop and just opening some windows is usually enough to cool the house.
