Sunny Poolside Winecountry Retreat
Enjoy the best of wine-country outdoor living in this spaciously appointed home whose inside effortlessly transitions to the ample private hilltop backyard and pool with views of distant redwood-covered hills above and vineyard valley below. Enjoy country comfort with multiple outdoor living rooms and modern amenities. Close distance to Johnson's Beach on the Russian River 5 minutes by car or 15-20 minutes by foot. Minutes to west Sonoma's best vineyards and appellations, the scenic Sonoma California coast and Hwy 1, and historic Armstrong Redwoods State Park. We are located on the road to Armstrong state park.
Close at hand are stellar cycling, kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, and hiking opportunities. The climate in west Sonoma county is some of the best California has to offer and graced by the superb vineyards (and tasting rooms!). Hot dry inland climates mix with cool coastal marine influences to produce the perfect mix of warm comfortable days and pleasant and sultry evenings filled with an abundance of stars and the soothing song of crickets.

The two larger bedrooms each have a king bed while the third bedroom has a queen bed. One king bedroom has a couch that converts to a double bed while the other has a queen matress in the large closet that can be set up as an extra bed. There is also a twin matress in a closet along with daybeds in each king bedroom that make good beds for young kids.
The fully remodeled kitchen is fully provisioned with gear by the owners who love to cook. You'll find all the accouterments necessary for whatever cooking you may wish to do. Gas range and oven, appliances, placesettings for up to 20, outdoor gas barbeque, and generous indoor and outdoor dining area.

Our host was so responsive and helpful. We had the loveliest Thanksgiving week at this beautiful and comfortable home. It had all the amenities to cook, relax, and spend time with friends and family in the spacious interior of this home and the even more spacious backyard. The location was ideal for us. Just a short drive to Armstrong Woods and just as close to downtown Guerneville.
Really great place to stay and spent a lot of time in the beautiful garden. It was located in a very quiet neighborhood. Chris is a great host, very communicative and made us feel very welcome. Thank you!
My adult daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed basking in the afternoon sun by the pool each day. Beautiful views and very peaceful surroundings. House is in a great location to town and nearby vineyards. A great getaway!
Well equipped, comfortable home for family of 6 adults, toddler grandson and granddog. Perfect long weekend get away. Enjoyed days at the pool, bbqing and the fire pit in the evenings.

Absolutely loved our stay at this charming home in Guerneville! The location was perfect—easy drive to wineries, town and surrounded by beautiful redwoods. The house itself was cozy and well-equipped, with lovely decks yard and pool that were perfect for morning coffee and evening stargazing.
The decor was stylish and inviting, creating a warm and relaxing atmosphere. The host was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to ensure a wonderful stay.
Whether you're looking to explore the stunning natural beauty of Sonoma County or simply unwind in a peaceful setting, this rental is an absolute gem.
We absolutely loved this home and very much enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious and had plenty of room for our family of 6. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub daily. The hosts were very communicative during our stay to make sure all was well. The beds and sheets were very comfortable. They had everything we needed during our stay. Location is excellent and very close to Main Street. Thanks to the wonderful hosts for sharing their wonderful home!
Where to even start with Chris's place - immaculately clean, great location, well-appointed (grill, hot tub, heated pool, fire pit, PIZZA OVEN??), well-decorated, I could go on. The pictures don't do it justice - there's even a nice hillside view from the backyard. Chris is lovely and responsive, and our dog had an absolute blast chasing balls in the backyard. We'll be back!
This place is fantastic! Very well appointed and the hosts have clearly put much thought into anticipating needs every step of the way from the bathrooms to the kitchen to the indoor and outdoor conversation zones with blankets at arm's reach. The back yard was immaculately landscaped, private, with an abundance of seating and relaxation options. Last but not least, the bedrooms were very spacious and the beds were wonderfully comfortable. The hosts were very communicative, friendly, and very easy to contact. We very much hope to be back soon!
I do not wish to expound too much on this particular house because it will rent more frequently and I know we want to come back. It is a gem. The pool, the house itself, the kitchen has every little thing. There are three
'very large bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Large living room and dining room add to the charm. We really never left the property except to buy groceries.
The house is exactly as described and more and the hosts are communicative and helpful. It was such a wonderful and relaxing stay we didn't want to leave.
Host was extremely accommodating and welcoming. My family stayed over New Years. It rained most of the time so we made good use of the well stocked board game cabinet and the fabulous kitchen. We loved the massive fireplace to cozy up the living room. We went to a tasting at Korbel, 9 min away and for a walk to see the the Colonel Armstrong tree, 10 min away.
We had a great long weekend stay in Guerneville! The house is perfect - well equipped kitchen, clean, lots of sitting areas and amazing windows and views. The outdoor space is beautiful, with so many spaces to perch to read a book or have a quiet conversation, plus a beautiful pool and pizza oven. We really appreciate having a place this nice where our dog could be included in our getaway.
We've stayed at Chris and Lisa's house before and returned because we love it so much. House has lots of bed options for travelers with kids, and many separate sitting "nooks" that allow everyone to spread out. Communication from owners should be part of VRBO owner training, it's exemplary!
Wonderful, well-appointed home with everything our family needed. Beautiful garden and pool that our kids loved! Nice kitchen with everything that we needed to cook yummy meals that we then ate outside in the garden. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home, we hope to return!
This was a wonderful place for a family get together. Large bedrooms and updated bathrooms and kitchen. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need.Fireplace and 2 sitting areas. Perfect summer place with large beautiful property and refreshing pool.Our family is familiar with Guerneville from having spent many summers there. This house is walking distance (1 miles) to town and a short drive or bike ride to Armstrong Woods Park.The house is on 3 levels so there are stairs.Good communication with Chris. Easy check in and check out.
We had a wonderful time at Casa Boho. The house was spacious and clean and had everything we needed or could want in the kitchen.
But....the backyard is what really made the vacation great. The pool, hot tub, bbq area with a pizza oven, so many spots to relax in sun or shade with great seating options. We had a fabulous time! Thank you Chris and Lisa!
