The home was beautiful and fun. We loved hanging out in the vaulted living room and enjoyed the hot tub. This was a wonderful place to stay but I do recommend having a car with you. It was a bit challenging to get rides into town. Overall would stay again!

It was by far one of the best vacation we have had in a VRBO property. The house is magical - artfully decorated and maintained. We traveled with my aging parents and was initially concerned with the steps but I had nothing to worry. They were easy to climb up and down and the hot tub was a great addition. I highly recommend the property, amenities and the views from almost any windows

This gorgeous house was well stoked and more beautiful decorated than you’d expect for a vacation rental. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and wanted to cook all our meals and we enjoyed the space and all the puzzles and games. The hill getting there is tricky and I’d be a little nervous o go here if you want to go out and experience a lot of the night life but for our purposes it was perfect.

What a wonderful house. The floor plan is a little wild when you first see it, but it works perfectly. It was close to the river, the redwood park, and the beach. Just perfect! I would come again and stay in the beautiful house!

Our party of 4 had a wonderful get-a-way - we loved being up in the trees with the birds! We practiced yoga on the patio, swam in the pool, gathered in the hot tub, ate in the kitchen, and on the veranda and in the dining room - it was all so inviting! We rented kayaks at Johnson's beach one day and hiked at Armstrong on the other. I have a personal goal of returning to this house!!!

It was FANTASTIC - the views are even better than the photos let off. All the beds were clean and the atmosphere was incredible. This is definitely a place I would like to stay again and for a longer time!-Only note for people staying is make sure your car can clear the dip if you want garage parking. We were in a super low car (Mustang) and it would not make it in garage, but the area feels extremely safe and we didn't worry 1 bit.

The property was very clean and well maintained. A very well stocked kitchen with some spices and other cooking necessities, which was great. The best part of the property are of course the views, pool and hot tub. It’s magical- we never felt the need to leave the house. Air conditioning in the upper floor was great since the house gets hot in the day. The downstairs stayed really pleasant. We would definitely come again!

About the host

Hosted by Naomi Smith

Host profile image
After years of working in the short-term rental market, I took a leap of faith and began working for myself in 2021. I truly enjoy hosting visitors in the Russian River area, a place I have called home all my life. My goal is for every guest to leave with a smile and consider returning for a future stay.

Why they chose this property

Managing a home in Guerneville with such a stunning view of the Russian River provides a wonderful opportunity for reflection while visiting Palazzo Marzino. Once at the top of Summit Avenue, the unobstructed river views, the pool, and the hot tub make it difficult to ever want to leave.

Furthermore, the property owners are truly remarkable individuals. Their dedicated advocacy for animal rights is inspiring, and I am proud to call them my friends.

What makes this property unique

Everything.
