About Happy Days
Walk to town, play all night, and bring the pups! Happy Days is a dog-friendly 3-bedroom Guerneville getaway for 8 with walkable downtown and Russian River access, a dedicated game room, large fully enclosed backyard, and fire table. Stroll to restaurants and shops, spend the day on the river, then come home for ping pong, BBQs, and backyard fun. Perfect for families, multi-generational trips, friends, girls’ getaways, and dog lovers.

Why This Home Stands Out
Happy Days makes it easy to enjoy Guerneville without choosing between location and space. Walk to downtown and the Russian River, then return to a large fenced backyard, dedicated game room, and plenty of room for the whole crew. The separate lower level adds extra privacy and flexibility for families, friends, and multi-generational stays.


Living Spaces
Spread out across multiple levels with comfortable spaces for gathering and relaxing. The main living area features a Smart TV, wood-burning fireplace, portable AC, and direct deck access, while the lower-level game room gives the group a separate place for ping pong and play.


Kitchen & Dining
The fully equipped main kitchen offers generous prep space and dining for eight, making group meals easy. A lower-level kitchenette adds extra flexibility, while the gas BBQ and outdoor dining area invite everyone outside for relaxed backyard dinners.


BEDROOMS & SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Primary Bedroom — Upper Level — King Bed
A comfortable King bedroom on the upper level.

Bedroom 2 — Upper Level — Queen Bed
A welcoming Queen bedroom located near the primary bedroom.

Bedroom 3 — Lower Level — Two Queen Beds + Twin Bed
A spacious dorm-style sleeping area that works well for kids, teens, friends, or additional family members.


Bathrooms
Three bathrooms—one on each level—make group stays more convenient. The upper-level bathroom includes a tub/shower combination, with additional bathrooms on the main and lower levels.


Outdoor Living
The large fully enclosed backyard gives everyone room to enjoy the outdoors—including the pups. Grill dinner on the gas BBQ, dine outside, play seasonal yard games, gather around the gas fire table, or relax beneath the fruit trees. Direct access from the lower-level game room makes the backyard a natural extension of the home.

Overall, a great place to stay with young kids. The location is excellent, we could easily walk to the beach, downtown shops, and restaurants, and Safeway is also just a short walk away.The main downside is that, because it’s so close to downtown, there can be quite a bit of noise and music from nearby bars and hotels. My kids are deep sleepers, so it wasn’t a major issue for us, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re a light sleeper.The place is a little dated, but it was still comfortable and made for a great stay.

Relaxing Spring Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and ideally located in the center of town, providing easy access to everything. The backyard was a standout feature, complete with a lemon tree we picked from and a cornhole game my kids loved!! All adding to the overall enjoyment of our stay.Stacey was an excellent host—highly communicative and attentive, ensuring we had everything needed for a seamless visit. I would 100% return and highly recommend this property to others
