Stroll to the banks of the Russian River in a matter of minutes from this lovely home among the redwoods in Guerneville. This is a beautiful escape for swimming, wine-tasting, hiking, and golfing, with a private hot tub and a spacious, tree-lined deck waiting to welcome you home each day.
This woodland home is located in the Rio Nido community of Guerneville, about 500 feet from an under-road pathway that leads directly to the river. You'll be mere steps from HOA tennis and basketball courts, Rio Nido Pee Wee Golf, and a restaurant, entertainment center, and seasonal pool (available for a daily fee) at the Rio Nido Roadhouse. Also within a quick and scenic drive are downtown Guerneville, the Northwood Golf Club, and a variety of world-class wineries.
Whether you're planning to explore the Russian River Valley or simply relax in a peaceful forest setting, you'll find the perfect spot to begin and end each day on the expansive deck. Take afternoon naps in the hammock, grill and dine alfresco with a view of the redwoods, and breathe in the fresh air as you soak in the hot tub or tell stories by the fire table.
The home's interior boasts a wonderfully open layout, allowing you to spend time with your loved ones as you cook, play card games, and watch movies. Enjoy a well-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar, a dining room table overlooking the forest, and an inviting living room featuring a fireplace and smart TV with Apple TV.

The Perfect Reboot Remedy!
This is the perfect place to reboot and recharge! Thank you for providing such a warm and comfortable home to enjoy nature at its best! We truly enjoyed every moment here unwinding and meditating with the serenity and beauty of nature. Thank you!!
This home turned out to be such a perfect spot for our visiting family! Easy check in, perfect setting in the redwoods, and fun to experience the Rio Nido atmosphere! It was clean and well stocked with everything you could need. Everyone was comfortable with plenty of space for hanging out by the fire pit on the deck, cooking a meal together or relaxing in the hot tub. My out of town family says they want to stay here again the next time they visit. 👍
It was truly fun to return to my childhood summer memories! I’m grandmother owned a cabin on Canyon7. It was sad to see the changes to the center and no bridge over to the beach. The good news is that it seems to be getting a renewal. I just love it there. I’ll be Back!!!

Love the house , great features! Lots of spices and well stocked. Unfortunately we were given wrong code for lock box. We understood late check out was added but chat line failed to do their job. We will not use Vacasa again

I got a email from Vasca giving me the wrong code to the property. I had to call the888 number and was on hold for 45 mins . Finally someone answered and gave me the right code to get into the rental..

Perfect Location & Deck!
The house and property are perfect and located super close to town for a 5-minute drive to food and groceries and a quick drive to one of the beaches too. The deck is adorable and the grill works like a charm! My only gripe is because this house is hosted by Vacasa, it was impossible to get in contact with the host and I had sent a total of three messages during our stay and only heard back from someone at Vacasa a day after we had checked out. The methods of contacting someone were either through a chat or calling a 1-800 number, so it doesn't feel like you have access to a real person who can help you if you need. Aside from that, perfect place to stay :)

Great house; Vacasa messed up big time
The check in process was a nightmare The codes didn't work because they didnt match what was on site. No wifi or caliing made communication with Vacasa even more difficult and tense. It too 3 attempts and as many customer service reps to communicate the trouble on site and the solution. Very insufficient rebate from Vacasa. The house was great and as advertised, but the check in trouble ans lack of sufficient renumetation makes us think twice about booking with you again.

Almost Glamping
Positives:
1. Beds were decent
2. Centrally located from my events.
3. Massive deck to entertain guests.
Negatives:
1. Fridge/freezer don’t work so I wasted over $200 on food that went bad because fridge don’t work and freezer couldn’t cool off a bottle of water.
2. Hot tub don’t get hotter than 91 degrees. It’s like taking a lukewarm bath.
3. The house smells really bad maybe from other renters had pets there?
4. Stove missing knobs so couldn’t cook on them.
5. There are no fire/smoke and CO2 detectors anywhere in the house.
6. The second shower do not work as it wil give out hot water for a moment then straight to freezing water so could not shower in that bathroom.
