River Serenity
This was our second time staying here and we loved it. Loved watching the deer and birds from the deck and the hot tub is great! Cozy little place.

Lovely river views
The house is very comfortable and was a wonderful get-away in the winter. The views of the river are really fantastic. We also appreciated the bicycles (and helmets) and the hot tub.

Loved the Site, Disappointed with VRBO
We loved our stay at Casa Lucia in Duncans Mills. However the stay was marred by not having the access code sent to us in the welcome email. The website assistant (an AI bot) was worse than helpful, as it proved to be a time waste. The email constantly sent us to a request to set up an account and download an app, all of which we did, but being the day of check in, didn't recognize we had a reservation. Owner was unavailable, phone support was slow, and didn't seem to have a good script for helping, and we almost had to stay in another location for the night... at least... Made me re-consider using VRBO again.

Everything you wanted in a vacation home and more !!
I stayed here for a week prior to Christmas. Pictures of the property do not do it justice! It is gorgeous, warm and inviting. Check and checkout was seamless. Craig was a very attentive host who checked in throughout my stay to ensure I was enjoying myself. I spent most of my stay in the River room. You just can’t beat that Russian River view and the various wildlife you see. I highly recommend a stay here. If you want peace and quiet and to feel safe since the property is on a private road - stay here. The location is perfect bc it’s close many spectacular areas and great places to dine. I love Duncan Mills and was grateful to have the opportunity to stay here. What a treat!!

Why they chose this property

Many of us from the Bay Area have fond memories of the Russian River. Our family spent many happy days swimming, boating, fishing and camping throughout the area. We always found new vistas, backroads and hidden beaches to enjoy. We acquired Casa Lucia in 2002 as a family project of 3 generations. We have spent many years updating and beautifying the house. (Also, we made the house more resilient to flooding by a massive lift job in 2018.)
