I highly recommend the cabin. Nicely updated while still has a great cabin feel. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. Close to town and nice hikes.

Hello Siru, We are elated you enjoyed your stay at Sunshine Grove! Thank you for being amazing guests :)
Nice small historic cabin with some upgraded modern conveniences and a short drive to downtown Guerneville. Property did not have air conditioning and got very hot during the day but cooled down quickly at night with the use of fans. Great outdoor patio space with a comfortable hot tub.

Hello Andrew, We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for being great guests :)
Cute and comfortable cabin in the woods. The community was quiet and welcoming. The house had a lovely gas fireplace, hot-tub and comfortable beds. It was clean and well appointed. We did not use the upstairs which had steep steps as others have mentioned. But the rest of the cabin was very nice.

Hello Linda, Thank you for being such great guests! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We loved hosting you and hope to see you again soon :)
Great location, hot tub was awesome!! Fan in the bedroom was broken, needed a masters in engineering to figure out the fan in the living room. Great little yard to chill and have a beer in. Bed was way too soft for me but I usually expect that because I use an extra firm bed because of my back. Overall pretty great stay!!

Hello Chris and David, We are sorry about the trouble with the fans! We do appreciate you letting us know after your stay and are glad overall you enjoyed Sunshine Grove. Thank you for being wonderful guests :)
This is an older property that has been upgraded with all the expected niceties. Not luxurious so guests need to be okay with a bit of sagging in the furniture. Stairs to second bedroom are narrow and second bathroom is main floor, not near this bedroom. Hot tub was well maintained. We would stay here again. Quiet area with no road noise from River Rd

Hello Susan, Thank you for your review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and we appreciate your feedback. You were wonderful guests and we would love to host you again :)
Sunshine grove is tucked within the huge redwoods. Quaint lovely neighborhood, so quiet and peaceful. House was super clean when we arrived. Our granddaughter claimed the loft immediately- ideal room for a tween. Took a while to figure out how to get the hot tub warmer- but other than that, the temperature was perfect. We walked our poochie everyday, the neighbors were welcoming and friendly. Narrow road, just be cautious as vehicles snuggly pass-by pedestrians and their k9s at a speed of 10-15 miles per hour. Safeway and other stores- conveniently located a 5 min drive away. We are coming back for sure. Thanks for the excellent communication VRBO.
Funky quiet friendly neighborhood on windy narrow road. Artsy cute cottages. Attractive accomodations with small private yard. Great for keeping dogs secure, but no grass or area for them to play due to elevation and rocks. Nice kitchen. Be aware that low is medium high on most gas stoves. Bring your own food storage containers and wrap/foil. They did offer to resolve, but stay too short to bother. Slat was missing on bathroom blinds. Wonderful dinner at Main Street Bistro. Overall, very comfortable accomodations.

Hello Patricia, Thank you for your review and your feedback! We would have loved to help/resolve any issues/concerns you had at the home during your stay. We are so glad you enjoyed Sunshine Grove, and we hope to have a chance to impress you in the future.
We had an excellent stay. The place was quiet and clean. It wasn't like staying in a hotel where there isn't much privacy. We definitely want to stay at the same place again next time.
There was only one very small issue while we were there. We started cooking on the grill and the gas ran out. There was a second tank there but the blue tag showed it was new but it was empty because the valve was turn open. We just went and got another tank ourselves at the gas station near Safeway because we had already started cooking. This really wasn't a big deal as we all had a good time and hope we are allowed back again.
Thank you, Ellen.

Hello Frank, We are elated you enjoyed your stay! We are however sorry to hear about the empty propane tank! We have more in the office and could have exchanged the empty for you, at no cost!
Thank you for being a wonderful guest :)
Well appointed without being overly designed to the point of tchotchkes crowding your every move. Home is cozy yet roomy enough for a decent dinner party. Gas fireplace was wonderful and worked well for heating up the entire place. We had a wonderful time staying here. Bring ice!
2 reasons we may not be back:
Stairs to loft are slightly difficult if you’re pushing a certain age. Hot tub is modest in size.
We had a lovely stay at the sunshine Grove cottage. The accommodations were lovely and the outdoor area was amazing. We enjoyed grilling and dining outdoors as well as the hot tub. We would recommend a stay at this location.
