First, I rent vacation homes 4-5 times a year, so I’m picky and used to common issues. I could not tell you anything negative I found about this property. First the pictures do not do the yard and surrounding area justice. I have been coming to the Russian river area my whole life and the property brings out the beauty of the sequoias, ferns and the creek, where we found a small waterfall. We loved exploring around the yard, playing badminton we had brought and frisbee with our dog who could run free in the huge fenced in property. We enjoyed the deck during the day where we could relax in the sun and the fire pit and hot tub at night. The house itself feels spacious and was very well stocked for all your needs. They had games, books, firewood, extra paper towels and TP. The kitchen was amazing. I am a foodie who cooks on vacation so I was in heaven. From the double ovens to the range, abundance of cookware, glasses and silverware to the little details like Tupperware, foil, and ziplock baggies. And if you don’t want to cook there are several restaurants in either Guerneville, Bodega bay or Jenner. Lastly this host, Tony is amazing. Great communication and checked in to make sure everything was fine. I even forgot a few items and he shipped it to me. As long as the property continues to be a rental, my family and I will be coming back every year! ##### jamie s.

Since 2013, my family of 3, my sister’s family of 3 and my parents (who are in their mid 70’s) have been vacationing together. We have never once stayed in the same house twice. However, after our week at Villa Ratto that will change. We cannot wait to come back. The yard is amazing! We played kick ball in the back, went “snipe hunting”, the kids floated in the creek, we enjoyed both patios and even roasted hot dogs and marshmallows in the fire. The house was spacious enough for all of us, and the kitchen is well stocked. The host had thought of everything you could need and is generous with supplies. He’s very responsive and helpful as well. 10/10! Highly recommended!! ##### Bethany L.

We found it to be clean and well stocked with everything we might need. The location is peaceful, quiet, secluded. We especially liked it being on Austin Creek. We went walking or swimming in the creek most every day. We also gathered around the fire pit most days. Tony was always available to answer a question or handle a concern. A wonderful host. We toured wineries, spent a day along the coast and a day at Armstrong Redwoods. A perfect blend of activity, relaxation and connecting with family. We would definitely stay here again! I would consider booking your stay now! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3155b224-1f39-4cdd-a589-c240f7a1adb2-1752348196436.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c7ecb63c-9e2f-4cb3-926e-d4e0a38478b0-1752348197768.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3e63d4e1-0dc2-44b1-88e4-61e01ff74515-1752348198349.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3f3b6b77-2ae1-4a13-b645-d9645c3f0721-1752348197362.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monica G. 20 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely property Had a great time relaxing and hanging out with family and friends.

We stayed for a week…. a long weekend with our children and grandchildren and the rest of the week just the two of us and the property and home here fit all of that perfectly. While there is so much to do in the area, we also were quite content with staying on property and never lacked for things to do or for peace and quiet. We dropped our paddle boards in the creek, played numerous indoor and outdoor games and enjoyed the fire pit and new hot tub as well as the fireplace inside. This home is exceptionally stocked, and the owner has obviously spent a lot of time and effort to make this home inviting and homey. Tony was a great communicator as well and made checking in and out seamless. Hope to stay here again soon. ##### Rachel C.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tony's villa. The kitchen was very well stocked and a joy to cook in, and the rest of the house was beautiful too. Lovely grounds and orchard. Thanks, Tony! ##### Erin B.

Sunshine, redwoods, smores at the campfire, and access to the creek - what more can you want? Kitchen spacious and well appointed. Private, quiet, clean - this is our second visit and we'd love to make it an annual tradition. ##### Jess T.

The yard- the creek- the fire pit and hot tub- it is simply perfect. The kitchen is well stocked with all the necessary equipment and the beds are super comfortable. ##### Rhiana M.

The kitchen was well equipped to cook our holiday meal, we lacked for nothing. We loved the redwood trees and fruit trees on the property and the flat area was great for playing cornhole. We used the fire pit and jacuzzi almost every night. We will recommend this property to all our family and friends. ##### Scott H.

The home was comfortable and extremely well-stocked. The kitchen had anything you could want, there were plenty of towels and linens, and a nice collection of games. Wi-fi worked well through the home. The fenced in yard was great for the pups (although the yard is big enough that you should keep a very close eye on unleashed dogs). Would recommend for a lazy trip away for some terrific quiet time. ##### Josh S.

We've never had such a well-stocked kitchen in a rental home. The location is lovely, and the property is private and quiet, with several stands of large redwood trees. Charming little town of Cazadero is four miles away. Don't miss Raymond's Bakery. Owners helpful and thoughtful, with amazing attention to detail throughout the house. ##### Kristen M. ---
