Great place to spend a weekend reuniting with old friends. The place is quite spacious with lots of areas to gather indoors and outdoors. Highly recommend.

Gathering of friends is a very special occasion indeed! We appreciate that when you were making your decision Paradise seemed to fit the bill, happy to see that we did not disappoint. Please come again.
Perfect summer forest getaway for our group! 5 adults, 2 infants, 1 dog. We had a blast swimming in the river and hanging outside in the hot tub. We'll be back!
Such a great property! We loved spending time with the family and enjoying the deep water dock. The house is very well done and feels open and spacious and open. We can’t wait to go back!

Repeat guests are the highest form of flattery one can have in this business. Thank you for continually choosing to spend your time along the Russian River with us at Paradise house. We look forward to your visit in 2027!
Paradise is a very nice, fresh and clean, modernized river rental. Our family loved it and was very comfortable for our 5 night stay. Well appointed with everything you could need!

Thank you so very much for your complimentary review of Paradise house! We have fun working together with the property owner and our housekeepers while preparing the home for each guest's arrival with the goal of a seamless stay. We would be most grateful if you would choose to return.
This place was perfect for our family vacation! We played games and did puzzles, BBQed and relaxed in the hot tub, swam and kyaked in the river, and hiked in Armstrong Woods and went out to the bars in Rio Nio and downtown Guerneville. It was all so fun and being together as a family!

Great seeing your photos of your time spent with us at Paradise house! From the looks of it, you took in all we have to offer both at the home itself, and while visiting Guerneville. I love the image of the little girl admiring the root structure in Armstrong Woods state reserve, I have photos of my girls doing the exact same thing. And thank you for leaving the citronella candles for us. Please come again!
Nice location on the river. We enjoyed the host provided kayaks and paddle boards on the river with dock access right behind the house. Also a nice view of the river from the spa. Overall a nice relaxing stay.

Thank you for your !10/10 review of your recent stay at Paradise! Being situated above the summer dam allows for slower moving and deeper water levels than those below us in high season (late June - late August). The property owner enjoys a long week each July at Paradise with much of that time spent either on the water or in the hot tub, thus extending her enthusiasm in both of the aspects. We hope you will return again.
A beautiful property in a beautiful location. Our family loved exploring up and down the river and preparing meals in the well-appointed kitchen, then hopping into the hot tub at the end of the day. The beds were very comfortable. Highly recommend!

Three deck levels to enjoy the river views any time day or night. Plus a hot tub that is a perfect way to relax at the end of the day.This is wonderful place for a relaxing getaway.

Prepping the home for each guest's arrival is very important to us. We take pride in caring for the home and each time a guest departs we hope their stay is enjoyable. It matters to us. We wait to see if they will share their thoughts on their experience and become so very happy when we read something like this. Thank you so much for making our day! Looking forward to your return.
The Paradise house was a wonderful place to spend the week with my family. Beautiful views from every window, lovely inside and wonderful patios and a riverside deck outside, with paddle boards and kayaks to boot! The host was very helpful and communicative. We would definitely stay here again. My only comment is to be aware that the bathroom in the master bedroom is "open concept." I have seen this in hotels and some other houses and I'm not sure I fully understand the thinking behind it. But overall, I highly recommend Paradise.

Thank you for choosing to spend some of your summertime with us a Paradise. We appreciate your compliments regarding the home and your experience with management; we strive to offer the kind of vacation experience that we would like to have ourselves, and we enjoy doing so! You are correct that the bathroom in the primary bedroom can be described as open concept, and while we do mention this in our property description, and on our photo library, it does surprise people from time to time. We look forward to your next stay with us.
We had such an AMAZING stay for our wine country trip! Beautiful views, clean, comfortable, walkable, and friendly contacts. Would recommend for anyone :)

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. One of the best parts of managing a vacation rental is reading our guests comments about their stay. Please consider returning in the warmer weather, relaxing down at the dock is quite wonderful.
We had a fun but relaxing girls trip. We enjoyed quiet morning coffee on the dock and soaking in the hot tub. We also loved playing games around the table and laughing at night. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

#girlstrip!!! Love the 10/10 rating, sounds like you all really made the best of what Paradise has to offer. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
The just was super responsive when I somehow lost my email with the details of check in. The house was so beautiful and exceptionally clean. Beds were really comfortable as well. We went for a girls trip and already are planning to go back. I would stay at this place over and over again.

We love how Paradise works for so many of our guests, either for their first visit, or a return of many. Will definitely pass our compliments on to our beloved housekeepers. Thank you!
We had a wonderful Mother’s Day trip at the house. It was clean and beautiful view of the river and the rooms were absolutely clean and enjoyed the kitchen. The only thing that needs to improvement are the stairs going to the river. My sister fell and hurt her legs on the sharp steps going to the river.. .A rail would help.

Thank you so much for sharing a review of your recent stay with us at Paradise. We are pleased to learn that you enjoyed your Mother's Day trip. We are sorry to hear of your sister's accident and appreciate you brining this to our attention. We are taking a look the steps leading down to the dock with a view towards installing a handrail where possible. We hope you will join us for Mother's Day in 2027.
Our stay at this riverfront home was wonderful. We were there on a rainy weekend in February, but the house was warm and sitting at the picture window watching the river roll by was what we were looking for. Sitting in the hot tub watching the river roll by was also very nice.

Your description of your rainy weekend with us at paradise sounds like a true 10/10. So peaceful to watch the river travel by from the inside and to be right above it while soaking in the hot tub. We hope to have you back again, and again, and again.
Thank you for returning to stay with us this August, and for securing your favored time frame for 2026! I have been fortunate enough to have known this property owner for nearly 12 years and have been her property manage for 4 years now, and honestly, nothing pleases me more than someone enjoying their experience enough to want to do it all over again. We are truly looking forward to you next visit. P.S. love the photos!!
Beautiful, open space. I loved all of the natural light coming through the house. I will have to come back in the summer months when we can take advantage of the dock and the river.

We appreciate you taking the time to share a review of your experience staying with us in January 2026. The picture windows in the sunroom make it the favored conversation space every time. We hope you have the opportunity to stay with us during the warmer months, our outside space is worth the return trip.
We had a wonderful peaceful New Year’s Eve stay. The house was spotless and the kitchen had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our time. Hot tub was a treat!

About the host
Hosted by Naomi Smith
After years of working in the short-term rental market and managing multiple departments, I took a leap of faith, earned my Sonoma County Property Manager certificate, and began managing properties independently in 2021.
As a lifelong resident of the Russian River area, I truly enjoy hosting visitors and sharing this region with them. My goal is for every guest to leave with a smile and the desire to return for another stay.
Why they chose this property
Managing a riverfront property in Guerneville allows me the excuse to take a break along the river banks each time I visit Paradise. Guests love the location for its' unobstructed views of the Russian River, its seasonal river access, 2 single kayaks, and of course, the hot tub.
What makes this property unique
This home is located just far enough out of town to feel removed from the local activities, yet close enough to enjoy a short walk for lunch, ice cream, or an early dinner.
Situated less than a five-minute drive from Guerneville, the property is perfectly positioned along the riverbank for easy access to all the area's recreation. The home features modern furnishings and an open floor plan, and is professionally cleaned between every stay.
