Kitchen was well stocked. Generous supply of bathroom linens and extra blankets. We appreciated the space heaters for the downstairs bedrooms. Thoughtful spaces arranged inside and out for visiting, playing games, eating, reading, or enjoying the peaceful redwoods. Super location close to downtown and all the outdoor activities we enjoy. Overall excellent and would book again in a heartbeat.One request would be for standard size coffee mugs. The ones provided are darling, but one medium Keurig brew nearly overflows the cup.

A cozy escape in the woods

This house had everything we wanted: comfy living room furniture, a big dining room table, an open kitchen, comfortable beds. The windows look out into the trees for a relaxing and private view. The only drawback was that it rained, so we didn't get to take full advantage of the great outdoor space on the two decks.

Amazing property in the woods, so close to the river hangouts

Beautifully styled property in the woods. Very subtle touches throughout the home and very clean. It was super convenient for our family hangout in the Russian river area. Very accessible to the wine country as well. The walls & ceilings were too thin for our infant to be able to sleep without the noise carrying through - just a note if you are planning on traveling with a baby.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of six had a very enjoyable stay. The beds were all comfortable; the kitchen had plenty of essential gadgetry; and there were a variety of quiet corners (indoors and on the balconies) to sit aside and read or whittle. The place was just far enough off the beaten path, deeply nestled within the shade of the redwoods while still close enough to town for a rigorous walk.

Great home base for exploring Guerneville

Wonderful, cozy home conveniently located less than a mile from downtown. Comfortable beds and seating, well-equipped kitchen and two large bathrooms. We especially appreciated the wood-burning stove, stained glass window and views of the redwoods from the spacious decks. The spiral staircase leading to the two lower bedrooms was slightly challenging for some folks in our party but we got used to it and it’s a quick trip up and down. The property managers left a lovely welcome basket and were quick to respond when we had a minor issue. Would stay again and recommend!

Beautiful home surrounded by tall trees

This was a beautiful property. Very spacious. Nice decor. Surrounded by beautiful trees. Close to town yet still quiet. Nice amenities. My only concern was that the indoor stairs pictured in the photos are very narrow. The steps themselves are very small and the decline is very narrow. We are healthy but it was a bit dicey going up and down the stairs. treacherous. I just think it’s good to know that before you take that.

Absolutely loved the house. Beautifully appointed and everything we needed. The parking situation was very challenging. My full sizes SUV did not fit well. A neighbor parked in lower spot so we spent a fair amount of time parking at Safeway and transporting people. Kinda difficult and not expected, but the house was lovely and met all our needs.

Wasn’t bad but wasn’t great

It was clean and master bead was comfy. The dishwasher didn’t work. At one point the hot water heater stopped working although maintenance was quick to come out. Although 3bdrm 2 bath, the setup isn’t really suitable for more than one family or even for multiple kids. The one downstairs bathroom is in a small bedroom and the steep stair make it difficult to access the upstairs restroom late at night or early in the morning after one’s been sleeping. The parking isn’t really silky table for more than two cars. It may have been had it not rained so much while we were there.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was perfect!!! House was impeccably clean and well maintained!... However, it appears that there is an overzealous property owner who lives up the hill. She came down on our last day and basically accused my wife of either being an attempted squatter or planning to steal the furniture on site because we carried our dogs and luggage in a u-haul van...... This was incredibly uncomfortable, awkward and quite honestly could have turned out in not good..... Perhaps speak to the property owner and inform them that the situation could have been better handled with a simple phone call as both of our numbers were on file......Beyond this, the property and property manager were wonderful!!!

Nice house, unfortunately not cleaned well

The property was nice, in a good location and the pictures for the listing were accurate. Unfortunately we observed mouse poop as soon as we arrived, on the dining table and in the kitchen. We cleaned up, but clearly the mouse (mice?) returned during the night. Also, the house was not cleaned well between tenants. We found a toy and half drunk water bottle under the bed in the master bedroom. The dining table still had food stuck on it, which probably encouraged the mouse visit. And there was a significant amount of dog fur around the house, especially the living room carpet and side sofa. I understand the rental allows dogs, but it should be cleaned well between tenants especially for those of us who do not have pets. Although they may have assumed we were coming with dogs, because the welcome treat left for us on the dining table were two dog biscuits... The property management was very responsive and helpful, and moved us to a different rental after the first night because we had reserved for a week in Guerneville. We appreciated their kindness and support, and had no issues with the second rental.

Would not recommend due to safety stair issues and sloping issues

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, would not recommend this rental. We own several airbnbs and our experienced renters and owners. The Spiral stair case is a safety issue. Our son cut his hand on it and we notified management right away. The house also slopes alot going in different directions. To our knowledge, this was not disclosed. Parking is hard and we also spun out. It is not very walkable as it is dangerous to walk on freeway/highway without sidewalks, etc. The kitchen cabinets need painting in some areas and the cleanliness of the bathtub was also noticed on the siderails where the door is. Also, tv is super small for family room and recommend much bigger tv and instead of a lockbox most airbnbs these days are using keypads which is much more convenient. The management company did leave a nice treat bag which was nice. I texted after we left about leaving my computer charger and never heard back. We did like the Russian River area but would not recommend staying here.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Sept 2023
Unfortunately this guest damaged something in the home without reporting it to us and refused to accept responsibility for the damages. Summit Sanctuary consistently garners 5 Star reviews. Sadly, this review feels less about the home and more about the negligence of the renters. We have blacklisted the guests from renting with us again due to the unreported, unacknowledged damages.
