Why This Home Stands Out Heart of the River brings wellness, nature, and Russian River fun together in one unique Guerneville getaway. Walk to the river, start the morning in your private yoga studio, soak in the hot tub, or retreat to the detached guest casita for a little extra space. A peaceful garden setting and chef’s kitchen make this an especially inviting home for reconnecting, relaxing, and slowing down.
Living Spaces The bright, inviting living area features comfortable seating, peaceful garden views, a Smart TV, and cozy gas fireplace. Warm natural light and an easy indoor-outdoor flow create a relaxing home base after river days, redwood hikes, and Wine Country adventures.
Kitchen & Dining The chef’s kitchen features granite counters and generous prep space for everything from casual breakfasts to special dinners at home. A large dining table surrounded by windows creates a welcoming gathering place, while the gas BBQ and outdoor dining deck take meals into the garden.
BEDROOMS & SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS Bedroom 1 — Queen Bed A peaceful Queen bedroom surrounded by the redwood setting.
Bedroom 2 — Full Bed A comfortable bedroom filled with warm natural light.
Bonus Bedroom / Office — Twin Bed A flexible sleeping space with a Twin bed and dedicated workspace.
Guest Casita — Sofa Sleeper A separate detached space with a sofa sleeper and arcade game, giving guests an additional place to sleep, play, or spread out.
Bathrooms One full hallway bathroom serves the main house with a comfortable, functional layout. An outdoor shower adds another refreshing option after river adventures or a soak in the hot tub.
Outdoor Living Heart of the River is designed for slowing down and enjoying the outdoors. Soak in the private hot tub, practice in the yoga studio, dine outside beneath the trees, grill dinner on the gas BBQ, or rinse off under the outdoor shower. Peaceful garden surroundings and multiple outdoor spaces create plenty of opportunities to relax and reconnect with nature.

We had a lovely stay. I was initially worried about not having AC because the weather was very warm but the place stayed cool and had several fans. We did run into a minor ant issue but it was promptly taken care of. We would stay here again.

Pros: Loved this home. Everything was neat and clean and beautifully decorated. The snacks left on the table were enjoyed. The cottage with the game table was a plus that my grandson loved (his mom loved the ms. pac man). I would definitely book here again.Cons: We could not really use the couch under a large holly tree. It gets very dirty from the tree. Hot tub was relaxing but it did not seem to heat to the temperature. It may be because the cover was ill fitting.Overall Love!

We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay over all and would love to host you again!
Generally had a lovely stay and the home was cute and comfortable. Beds and linens were very nice. Property listing was a bit confusing/inconsistent in listing as a 2 or 3 BR. Third sleeping area is in an outbuilding without a bathroom. Some dishes needed to be washed/rinsed, and the outdoor area needed a little cleanup to enjoy easily. Just needed a little seasonal freshen up, but otherwise the space was nice and we enjoyed our time.
Clean rooms, amazing property, close to the areas we were visiting. We will come back next year. Only recommendation and if I missed it I apologize but a big push broom to clear off the steps, patio and hot tub area. We tried our best to keep the home clean and leaves, debris out of the hot tub but a garage style push broom would hwv helped. Again if I missed it my bad. Can't wait to come back next year!!!

Heart Of The River really has it all! I truly couldn't have enjoyed my stay any more — the property is gorgeous, well stocked with everything one might need, and the management overseeing the rental were professional, kind, and readily available whenever I had a question or needed something. I had a relaxing and restorative getaway, and absolutely plan to be back.

Reviewer Comments:
A total 5star home. Not a house but a home away from home. From the moment you walk in you can see and feel the love that went in to make your stay memorable. Everything and I mean everything top of the line. You need to bring only your food. It was more than a stay it was an experience. The spice draw was amazing and so unexpected. Guerneville is another experience all to itself. Ocean sunsets a short drive away. I will definitely be back again and again. I’m not good with writing how I feel so should you’d like to contact me I’d be happy to talk with anyone. Rental service knows how to get in touch with me. Remember you need bring nothing but yourselves and food.

A quaint, cute, well decorated property. The hot tub and yoga studio were a big bonus, and well utilized. The bedrooms were a little small (no room for suitcases) and the beds were a little hard for our taste, but overall it was a wonderful property.

This property was very beautiful, comfortable and well-appointed for our family Thanksgiving. Many thoughtful touches made it even better, like a turkey roasting pan and baster waiting on the countertop. Everything was just perfect. Many family members said it was the best house we've ever rented. Thank you, Wright family, for many happy family memories to cherish!

Beautiful setting. The home was very relaxing with lots of seating areas to read. Loved the way the early morning sun filtered through the living room windows. The home had everything we needed to enjoy our short get away. We would reserve again when coming back to the River.

The property is good but not well maintained. Super dusty, ants everywhere along with cobwebs as soon as you enter. Would not recommend or come back.
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Feb 2026
We are sorry that we did not get the 5 star experience that this house has kept for the last years we have had it. The house gets cleaned right after renters depart along with getting checked by an inspector. As for the cobwebs they can be built over night and ants are something that any house can occasionally get when it rains heavily. Again this house is a 5 star house and we are sorry that it did not meet your expectations.
Thanks,

My family of 5 (3 young kids) and I stayed here for Xmas weekend and it was a great getaway. We had everything we needed, were comfortable and loved the quiet serene neighborhood setting in the woods near the river. There were a couple small things that needed improving but overall a great rental, even with a hot tub and separated guest house that my kids enjoyed. We would come back!
