What an amazingly beautiful house! My daughter got married in the Armstrong Woods. This house was the perfect place for for my husband and I along with our daughter's grandparents and siblings. Huge beautiful kitchen and so many other amenities we didn't even have an opportunity to use. Our host was extremely friendly and reached out when we had a question. Hope to come back again!
Everything was lovely. Do need to fix the chandelier in the dining room; existing lighting was not bright enough. It rained everyday and was cold so we couldn’t really enjoy the porch which looks very cozy. Very close to many activities and grocery store. Every bedroom had its own bathroom. Great!
Beautiful home! Perfect location and arrangement. Our family of 12 loved it. The amenities were perfect for us! Check in and out was very easy. The one big gripe I have to say is that the bathrooms need remodeling badly. There’s a mix of hot and cold with mold in the showers.

Roomy older home
It was a nice big older home with lots of room. Kitchen was nice! Extra beds are rollaways with limited linens. Beautiful location and decks.
My grown children and their families spent Christmas here. There was plenty of space for everyone. The large, well-stocked kitchen was also very nice. Everyone enjoyed the sauna and hot tub as well
Property and house are lovely. Despite running out of propane and warm water and being cold, we made the best out of it. The owner refunded some money back and was responsive andprofirewood, which we used up.
I stayed in this beautiful property with some family and friends to celebrate my birthday. There was room for everyone, it was in a beautiful location, and the house had everything we needed. Would stay again!
The home was charming. We wish the mold in the small shower in the room connected to the library had been cleaned off.Also, the pots and pans in the kitchen really need to be replaced . The food stuck to them and they were hard to clean.Otherwise everything was nice. Our large family had a good time!
We celebrated our daughter’s elopement and hosted a family gathering at the house. The house was spacious and had plenty of rooms for us. We enjoyed dinners out on the side deck and our dogs enjoyed their stay as well. The place was clean except for the hot tub- we were hoping to use the hot tub but it was dirty and while the maintenance person did come on our second day, it was still not ready to use. Other than that, the house was perfect for our celebration.
This property was the perfect setting for a friends gathering. The house is spacious, unique and homely. We all agreed it was the best weekend made by the incredible property. Thank you
We had a great stay. Thank you. Cute house. We had no response from the host. We are still unclear if the cottage was included or not. Possible miscommunication.
I brought a dozen friends for the weekend, the house was great, we had a great time indoors&out. The 5 bedrooms each have a queen bed and a bathroom and a fireplace. The wraparound deck has great views of trees and birds and sky. We especially enjoyed the hottub, sauna,
Our family had a wonderful time at Santa Nella House. The house had everything we needed, it had enough space for everyone to spread out, the wrap around porch was spacious, we ate our meals outdoors every day, the hot tub and sauna were awesome, and the fire pit at night was a wonderful added bonus so that we could sit around making s’mores and sharing stories. We’ll be back!
My family and I had a wonderful get-together at the Russian River House. We especially liked the historical nature of the house. The close proximity to the Sonoma County Airport was very convenient to out-of-state family. The house location was close to the Sonoma coastline as well as surrounding towns, wineries, and other sightseeing. The house was well-equipped with necessities. One kitchen item wasn't operational and the host will be providing a replacement. The kitchen and bathrooms had dish and hand soap. We brought our own bath soap and shampoo/conditioner. The large porch with tables, chairs, and swing, was very comfortable during the day for meals and relaxation. We also appreciated having 6 bedrooms with private ensuite bathrooms. All of us enjoyed our stay!
Fabulous house. Very comfortable and perfect for five or ten. We had five of us so we each had our own room And Bathroom. Hot tub was great. Everything is close. Seems like everything was no more than twenty minutes away from the ocean to wineries to great bicycle trails in Forestwood to a great breakfast in Graton at Willow wood market. And watch The Birds movie and then go to Bodega Bay!
We had our extended out-of-town family stay here for our late October wedding-- our parents, sibs and families, and our kids. it was a fantastic choice. Lots of flexibility with the different bedroom configurations, comfortable beds, places for kids/adults to hang out separately, hot tub. The house was clean and well cared for, and the yard was nice too. Short drive to downtown Guerneville with a Safeway, and Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve with beautiful old growth redwoods. A great find!

Extensively renovated and modernized, the stately structure boasts five bedrooms and five and half bathrooms. Each room is tastefully furnished with antiques, features its own fireplace and a modern bathroom. The spa area (hot tub and sauna) is located in the midst of a redwood grove and seats six.
