Perched on a quiet, tree-lined road, this private hideaway offers the perfect balance of seclusion and access to nearby adventures. Monte Rio Beach and the Russian River are just minutes away for swimming, kayaking, or soaking up the sun. Inside, you'll find a spacious, light-filled interior with soaring ceilings, vintage wood beams, and designer finishes. The fully stocked kitchen opens to a cozy dining area and living room, all with serene views of the surrounding forest and fruit trees. There are two bedrooms — one in a lofted area — ideal for families, couples, or small groups. Whether you're enjoying morning coffee on the deck, breaking a sweat in the home gym, or gathering in the game room for ping pong and board games, there's something here for everyone to enjoy. Guests rave about the thoughtful renovation, peaceful setting, and stylish yet comfortable décor. You'll feel the history of the home — with all the modern upgrades that make it a true retreat. Note: The road leading to the house is steep and narrow in parts, best suited for confident drivers. But once you arrive, the quiet, magical setting is more than worth it. We look forward to hosting you! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Things to do - Gym ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![3 bedrooms, desk, iron/ironing board, WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74810000/74800600/74800507/ca1fe4b9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bella Vita \~ High-End Bungalow with Private Yard Monte Rio - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 10 Exceptional 15 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-12&endDate=2026-02-13&selected=74800507&PinnedHotelID=74800507&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96150000/96145600/96145522/0ef8fbab.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mint To Be - Modern Farmhouse-Style, Dog Friendly Monte Rio - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 9.2 Wonderful 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-12&endDate=2026-02-13&selected=96145522&PinnedHotelID=96145522&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, offices, computer monitors](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106260000/106252400/106252326/68a9b273.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Midcentury Modern, Pet Friendly, Hot Tub!
