This is a very nice home which has everything one might need, and the beds are insanely comfy, we slept like logs. It is away enough to be very quiet and close enough to everything to be still convenient. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Great spot
Loved this spacious house that was really conveniently less than 10 mins from several beach spots and restaurants!
The house was wonderful, bigger than it looked on the pictures, really loved the neighborhood, super close to Santa Rosa but it felt far away. Biggest surprise was how amazing the mattresses are on the bunk beds.

Cozy & quiet
Very comfortable and nice. Loved the insect sounds and stars at night and the birds and deer in the mornings. I only stayed 2 nights but would definitely return and stay several more.
Beautiful house with off the beaten path location but easy to find. Well maintained property and very clean. Check-in was super easy. Comfortable stay. Fully stocked kitchen which we didn’t really use. It would have been nice to have some tea/coffee in the house

Raj, thank you for the review. We are so glad you enjoyed our beautiful home! While the kitchen is stocked with all the cookware and utensils needed to prepare meals, food and other pantry items like coffee and tea are not typically stocked in the home. We encourage guests to plan ahead if they anticipate needing additional items during their stay. We hope to have another chance to impress you in the future!

Great house by the river
Very comfortable home for our family (4 adults and a 1 year old). Recent total renovation of an original "river house". Super comfortable beds and quality linens. Well stocked kitchen made it easy to entertain. Great outdoor BBQ on the enclosed back deck. Close to Mother's Beach and Speers Market for a quick shopping trip. Very quiet neighborhood made for a very relaxing stay. Highly recommended!

Ideal place to stay in the Russian River area/Sonoma
This unit far exceeded my expectations. It was spotless, everything was new, all worked as it should. The instructions were thorough. We used the front and back decks for meals outside. The yard was huge and the location is private and quiet. I didn't want to leave but am looking forward to booking the unit on our next visit. A very very nice stay!!
We booked this stay after Christmas with the hopes of enjoying some wineries and hikes, but we were totally rained in! This house was very comfortable if you had to be stuck though :) The only thing we were surprised about was the tiny one lane roads that lead up to the house - but luckily we didn't run into any other cars and made it safely. All in all, it was a great (very rainy!) stay.

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us! We're delighted to hear that you found the house spacious and enjoyable, that the home met your expectations, and that you had a comfortable stay. We appreciate your feedback about the drive to the home and have noted it for future guests. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. Your input is valuable. We hope to welcome you back for another wonderful stay in the future!
The house inside was nice and clean. Had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable. They had lots of movies and games. The yard was not super amazing and I wouldn’t call it an orchard. More of a house with 3 apple trees in a neighborhood. But Steelhead beach was only 5 minutes away and Bodega Bay was only 40 minutes so it was a great location for what we wanted to see. Check in and out was easy.
this property has not been maintained properly and was very dirty when we arrived. we did not stay there actually. when we contacted Vacasa about it they apologized and sent cleaners out who then argued with us about their inability to clean it properly. We were also toldthe dishwasher didn’t work properly. The couches and rugs have not ever been properly cleaned, there was hair in the beds and the lawn has not been mowed all year which concealed piles of dog poop. We received no response from the property manager other than the Vacasa representative and have requested a refund as a result.

Forestville visit
this was a very, very nice house. clean Comfortable, great kitchen, bedrooms and decks. the disappointment was it has a wood burning stove which we looked forward to using. however when we arrived there was a sign on it, ' important not for guest use'..
disappointing. no closets or dressers but otherwise a lovely house.

Hello Betty, thank you for your review. We sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced during your time with us. Please know that your feedback is essential, and we had passed on these concerns to our local operations manager and got an update that this issue had been taken care of. We hope to have the opportunity to better impress you in the future!
When we got off the highway on a dirt road which leads to the house we were wondering what have we done. That we are very surprised. I have an updated clean, comfortable house. The house is out in the country and you can hear the birds saying all day long. It’s not far from Forestville or from Guerneville, so location is excellent.
This dog friendly rental was extremely comfortable and convenient due to good floor plan and furniture. Close to everywhere we wanted to go. I think it would be very difficult to find a better place in this price range. The apple trees are in bloom and the birds sing all day even if it rains. Be sure to follow the entrance directions or you’ll end up on a one-way road on the side of the mountain in the forest.
We are seniors and had trouble figuring out how Vacasa works when booked through VRBO. You must check-out, you are billed by Vacasa. We didn’t know if we were supposed to put out the garbage (no) or take off the sheets (yes) until we received a text, I couldn’t find it on their website.

nice home with some issues
the house itself is nice, good amount of AC and fans (as it was very hot when we were there). 5 min drive to the beach, cant walk there as it is a very busy road. One bedroom is not soundproof, which was a problem. Big issue was communications- very hard to reach Vacasa, had trouble getting my questions answered. And after we left have been trying to reach them and have not been able to.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your stay, Ellie! We are very sorry for the any miscommunication with our guest services team. Unfortunately, the items that you left behind were not found. We're very sorry for any inconvenience this caused you and we look forward to hosting you again!
Not far from main road but quiet and woodsy feel. Apple tree was full of deep red fruit so I made apple sauce and baked apples so it didn’t go to waste. Still plenty on the tree. Loud chirping of crickets was sensational at night. Private second floor deck nice for dining, reading relaxing. Nice home, good layout. We played autumn fireplaces on youtube for ambiance, almost as good as the real thing (their fireplace not for guest use even though it features prominently in the photos..bit of a bait and switch). Definitely two bedroom if you’re wondering (barn door style for second room). Bathroom open onto deck if you like to be one with nature when nature calls!

Weekend Stay
I stayed here with my family over the weekend and we really liked the place. However, there were no instructions about the heating anywhere. When we checked in in the evening, the house was super cold and when we tried to switch on the space heaters, the plugs in the living room weren't working. Calling guest services to get help was also not an option because there was no service in the area. It took a while until we figured out the heating situation and the house warmed up. Since there are multiple rooms and limited space heaters it would have been nice if there was a more centralized heating system. Even a few more stronger space heaters (one per room) would help.
Besides this, the property was really nice and a cozy getaway for some family time.

Nice house, lacking a few things
Overall the property inside is attractive , clean and modern. Upon further inspection, we realized that there were NO closets, wardrobes, dressers to allow us to place our clothes. Lived out of suitcase for 3 days. Was not what I was expectiing.
The Cable was intermittent, and constantly buffering., The WiFi however,was good a We we able to watch some entertainment on my lap top with limited intrerruption.
The several room heaters were a bit challenging, and only on the last day did they start to work., It was quite chilly up there, so good thing we brought sweats.
The exterior yards presented as some what uncared for., Broken drieway light and fencing, and generally kind of sad compared to the house itself.
Overall, not too bad for a first time with Verbo. WE are booked into Las Vegas in November, so I will have a deeper dive into the condition of that property to see if we will keep it.
Thanks- J Jurancich
