Gorgeously tucked away in a grove of soaring, fragrant redwoods, this cottage provides a peaceful retreat in the artistic hamlet of Villa Grande. This woodland oasis, which sits 500 feet from a beach on the banks of the Russian River, offers an open living space with custom woodwork and lovely touches of vintage architecture, a beautiful deck and gas grill to enjoy beneath a canopy of trees, and a wood-burning fireplace to curl up to on chilly Sonoma County evenings.

This home sits within a short stroll of a community beach on the Russian River, one mile northwest of the amphitheater and the riverfront park. The Northwood Golf Course is less than two miles east, and the tiny community of Duncans Mills is five miles west. Take a drive to explore the eclectic shops and restaurants in downtown Guerneville, six miles east, admire the rugged beauty of the ocean at Sonoma Coast State Park, 10 miles west, or spend a day (legally) foraging mushrooms at Salt Point State Park, 27 miles northwest, before catching the sunset at Timber Cove on the way back.

Perfect little getaway
We had the perfect getaway here! We loved sipping on coffee while sitting on the deck and the short walk to the private beach was very convenient. The place was peaceful, clean, roomy, and comfortable. It had everything we needed for the weekend and we highly recommend it!

Beautiful and cozy weekend getaway
We loved the view of the stars through the skylight from the bed at night, and the sunlit sequoyas view in the morning. The lovely interior design full of natural light and the great lighting choices made the mood great throughout the day and at night. Many choices for trips in nature around - near and further, and great choices for eating out or grilling on the deck! Thank you very much for a wonderful experience!

Sweet!
Great little spot. Neighbor across the street is very nice. She just asked us not to park near her gate as she cannot get in or out. Was not a problem. Very clean. Big bathroom. Nice decks.
