This house is within walking distance of downtown Guerneville. It had everything we needed for a girls weekend. Hot tub, fully stocked kitchen, extra toiletries, beach gear, etc. We also appreciated the bottle of wine Clare left us. Strongly recommend! ##### Lindsey V.

The owner of this home was extremely welcoming in every way. From letting us know the house was available earlier in the day to the lovely bottle of wine she left for us. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much for the restorative stay! ##### Aileen T.

Home was large, open and comfy. Couldn’t have asked for more. Clare was great to work with. Offered suggestions to help us with our visits. ##### Wendell H.

The house was beautiful and clean. The instructions were clear. The location was great (short walk to town). I would give an extra star (total of 6) if I could because the hot tub was in excellent condition (not always the case in our experience) ##### Michael B.

There were 6 adults and 1 dog. We all had plenty of room. Host was very attentive and communicative. Hot tub was clean and was definitely a plus in the morning. We all had a great time. The host even left a bottle of wine for us to enjoy while we played Wineopoly. ##### Christine S.

We picked a rainy time to be there but that didnt dampen the fun. The house is as advertised but didnt get to spend much time outside. The rains came and waters rose, but we were safe, dry and stylin'. Town is an ez walk just over the footbridge. Very comfortable for our party of six. Would gladly stay again! ##### Michael C.

It’s very roomy and the hot tub was in excellent condition and a real bonus! We enjoyed sitting on the patio overlooking the woods. Some minor maintenance issues needing repair but overall a beautiful home in a lovely setting. Clare was very communicative and thorough. The nice gift bottle of wine was very thoughtful! We would stay again for sure. ##### Paula A.

Came here with my husband, our partner, and a few close friends for a week. Clare was communicative way in advance and very responsive via text. Wifi worked great and the hot tub was delightful and easy to access and use as its right off the living/ dining room. The place is as described and comfortable for medium and larger groups. We all loved staying here and the quick walk to town so we didn’t have to deal with driving, parking, or taxi/Lyft/Uber (which is a huge plus since cell service is very spotty in the area). We are already booked for our week next year! Thank you Clare! ##### Chris L.

We used the house as home base for a long weekend of winery tours. We loved our stay here. It was so nice to return to the clean, comfortable, open space. The house was spotless and as described. There was plenty of room for 5 of us, everyone with their own bed. The kitchen is very well provisioned (the most well stocked I’ve ever experienced) and an easy space for group cooking. The location and proximity to town (8 min walk to Safeway) made walking safe and easy. The bridge was well lit for the walk home. Clare communicated in advance of our arrival and checked in to ensure we had everything we needed (we did). The bottle of wine was a lovely touch. ##### Terri S. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### PATRICIA R. 5 Apr 2018 #### Great stay! My family and I had a great stay at this home! The location is great as it is close to town, close to Korbel, close to the river, and even a short drive from the beach in Jenner. The area itself is beautiful, but also has a lot of homeless people and run down houses, which is very sad to see. I have to admit that I was intimidated by the pages and pages of information provided for the stay at this house, although I completely understand why the owner would provide all this information as I am sure there have been some pretty rowdy guests in the past. I was kind of afraid to get in the hot tub because of the long list of instructions and warnings, but it was fine. I did stress to my group to not touch any buttons for fear of messing up the settings. My only suggestion would be to have either a full or queen sized bed in the room downstairs that has the twin beds. Other than that, the house was fully stocked and everything was very clean and well kept. Perfect place to stay if you are looking at coming to the Russian River area! ##### PATRICIA R. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brooke K. 9 Apr 2018 #### Most fully stocked home I have been too! This house was beautiful and very comfortable. We felt at home. Everything you could possibly need we found including extras like Band-Aids. Those little things you don't think about become very important when you need it. It was a godsend to me when I cut my finger cooking. The hot tub worked perfectly too. I did like the gate was down at the driveway blocking it from the road. I felt safer letting my little kids play out front knowing they were not going in the street that was a big bonus for a mom. There were so much great things about this place. I believe that anybody looking for a nice place for your family this is definitely your best choice I have stayed in a lot of vacation homes. There have been only a few that accommodated 100% our needs not to mention that everybody we talked to or met was so great and helpful we showed up early while the house was being cleaned so she waited for us to come in to show us around the house and answered all of our questions before leaving it was just an amazing experience without a single problem. ##### Brooke K.
