We had a great stay at Grandma's House! One of most well stocked and best laid out vacation rentals we have stayed at. Our group had kids from 7 yo to a 91 yo grandpa and everyone had something for them - games, an awesome old school arcade, pool table, lovely back deck looking onto the river. Even our senior dog was swimming and chasing ducks all day! All the rooms were huge and comfortable. The highlight of course was the river and rope swing right behind the house! The hosts were very responsive and kind when we had a problem with one of the room doors. Everyone in our party said we had to come back - great stay all around!

Grandma's House is a terrific house with a layout that allows older kids or families separate private spaces (hello bathroom in each bedroom) with nice shared spaces for hanging out. Steve was a great communicator and super kind to come over and unlock a door we mistakenly locked. We will be back!

Best family vacation

We go to the Russian River a lot and this would be one of the best places that we have stayed at. The location could not be better and the space provided fit our family perfectly. The highlight I would have say was the rope swing that was across the river on the other side.

As though you have an inn all to yourselves!

Spent a great Christmas holiday in Grandma’s House with our family. Plenty of space for 4 couples, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds. Easy stroll to the Boho Manor for cocktails around their fire pit. We had a great time!

Grandma’s House is a lovely facility. Good separation of bedrooms from common spaces. Also, each of the four bedrooms is large, well equipped, and has a private bathroom. The house location could not be better! We spent a lot of time on the private beach and dock. Our children enjoyed playing in the water and befriending the local ducks. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay at Grandma's House. Host was great at communicating promptly, check in easy, great location on river with lots of amenities. Plenty of inside and outside space to be together or separate. Kitchen was stocked with amazing assortment of pans, and spices. Pool table, piano and arcade game was icing on the cake. Some things need looking into for repairs like fridge bins, some windows and doors don't slide well. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Stunning property! Kitchen extremely organized and complete with all items needed to prepare our Thanksgiving feast. Steve had cleared the property of rain debris and managed to coax the sun into a full glorious display.

Creating memories at Grandmas house

This is our third stay at grandmas house. We love the property, easy access to the water, and amenities of the home. Truly all the comforts of home in a rental fit for family gatherings! Plenty of space for a group, but the rooms provide privacy as well. Host was highly responsive, helpful, and made our stay an enjoyable one. We will be back!

Wonderful stay!

This place is so welcoming and fun. We loved the river access with a rope swing right across the river. The home is spacious and fun, and the outdoor areas are wonderful. Stephen was so helpful with everything. The house is full of local history and quirky in a good way! It's a wonderful place for a peaceful retreat or a fun silly weekend. We did both in the same week, with friends and family rotating through for visits on the lawn and dinners on the porch.

Great time

We all had more than enough room. Everything was so nice. Lots of kitchenware, spices and condiments. Kids enjoyed the canoes and blow ups. The rope swing across the river was enjoyed by my grandkids and parents. Sitting on the deck with a cup of coffee in the morning was so beautiful and quiet. We’ll be back

Comfort on the River

Our extended family of 9 had plenty of room to spread out inside and out. 4 convenient en suite bed/bath rooms. Extra large eat in kitchen with all the equipment needed to feed a crowd River out the back door with boating and floating equipment. Eclectic decor with plenty of surprises to investigate. Above 90 temps weren't even a problem, as the house stayed cool and comfortable.
