A beautiful quiet property tucked away in the redwoods. We had a very nice time with our young kids, and getting to and from Monte Rio for food and river time was easy. We also dipped in the creek on the property (the weather was cool for our visit but this would have been a great option in warmer weather). Overall had a wonderful stay.

Above Expectations

Everything about this home exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was huge and contained more items than any gourmet cook could hope for. It was near a large table that was perfect for group meals and family games. The hot tub was the best we have ever used - very clean, hot and great jets. Thank you for a great time!

Holiday Haven!

The photos definitely do the property justice! The home is perfect, and as other reviewers mentioned, the kitchen is the most well appointed we've ever experienced at a rental! I normally always bring a few items we can't live without and the house had them all! The grounds and creek access were so wonderful! The kids and pups had the absolute BEST time running around the property and enjoying the creek! Truly wonderful and the most kind host!! We're so grateful we were lucky enough to enjoy this property and look forward to a future stay! Highly recommend!!!

Cazadero Gem

If you are reading this review and thinking about staying here, just book it! 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!

Our family of six enjoyed our stay at the Villa Ratto. The house was clean and spacious. The kitchen was well organized with everything we needed to cook our meals. The grounds are beautiful with redwood trees and nearby Austin Creek. Tony was responsive to questions we had. We hope to go back!

Return customer at Villa Ratto & it was fantastic (it always is)! Well appointed, with lots of extras that you don’t get at most rentals. The proximity to the Austin Creek & Caz make it ideal for us.

This house is spectacular; has everything and anything you will ever need! Fantastic location to either Guerneville, Duncan Mills and the coast (Goat Rock Beach a must)! House was impeccably clean and the access to Austin Creek behind the home was great for our dog to romp around in.

This was our 2nd time staying at Villa Ratto. We will be back again! The house is set up with everything you could possibly want/need in a vacation home. The host is exceptional- responsive and helpful. The setting is beautiful and offers privacy/quiet yet is close enough if you want to go grab something to eat! We love it here and are anxious to come back!

Wonderful property, great host! I had some difficulty getting the fireplace going without triggering the smoke and fire alarm going off. He walked me through the whole process very patiently, and then talking to my daughter about the whole history of the place. Great experience!

Idyllic

Perfect spot for families with kids - they spent hours and hours playing in the meadow. 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.

Amazing property

This was our second time at villa ratto and my family has begun to think of it as our sanctuary away from the city. 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.
