Cute, cozy cabin right on the Russian River. We enjoyed our stay over the New Year's holiday weekend in this comfortable home. Has a nice little kitchen that was perfect for our needs, and the large dining table was great for our family to gather around for meals and to play board games. We loved the hot tub on the deck where we enjoyed the rain while watching the river and wildlife. Beautiful spot! The only downside was the road is a bit busy with nowhere to really walk which made it difficult to walk our dog but otherwise, it was the perfect getaway spot! ##### Lauren C.
