This house is truly a little piece of paradise. It is very peaceful and private with everything you need. There is a fantastic stereo system which makes the relaxing environment even better. We enjoyed sitting on the deck listening to all the birds and when it rained we sat inside gazing out toward the river watching the fog come and go. The house was very clean, our two little dogs were greeted with dog bowls, and Jay was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to questions. We will definitely try to book it again if we come to the area

Relaxation on the River

This house is stunning - created with a sophisticated eye for design. It's close proximity to the Russian River makes you appreciate Northern California beauty while being close to many amenities and attractions. We also loved the proximity to Korbel. We would love to stay here again.

Lovely Well-Appointed Cabin

The cabin is tastefully decorated with art and textiles. Well lit, with lots of windows facing the river. Landscaping is lush, and I’m sure bountiful in the summer months. The decks and spa are perfect for relaxing after a fun-filled day. Centrally located for adventures in the redwoods, Pacific Ocean, wineries, quaint little towns, as well as the river. Nice, well set up kitchen with Viking stovetop.

The house has a nice kitchen and a good heater. The BBQ would not light. Beautiful view but not of the river. The house has a musty smell and no screens on the windows.

Great hideaway

We enjoyed our stay. The river cottage has style, and is located in the middle of wine country. Cleanliness was an 8, so generally good without being exceptional. The only regret we had was the river view and access. There is no river view, as the 'lush landscape' has been allowed to become a jungle. Needs a good brush clearing to regain a visual and easily accessible connection with river. Yard great for dogs, area felt a little rough, so nice to have a sliding gate on driveway for privacy.

Uncomfortable

The location and proximity to the river was great! Everything else was not. The owner stated we could check in early but upon arrival, he was at the property. Talk about uncomfortable. Speaking of, nothing in the house was comfortable. The bed is old and soft with no support, the couch is a terribly uncomfortable futon which we eventually just laid flat and every piece of outdoor furniture lacked any sort of cushion and was unusable. (I will note there are some lovely wood chairs but how long can you sit in a chair?) The house looked clean upon arrival, and we understand it’s located in the woods, but this place is CRAWLING with spiders, bees/hornets and ants. We did not use the hot tub as it was crawling with ants. When I went to sit on an outdoor chair in the yard, I focused on the ground for a minute and it was vibrating with spiders. Forget laying on any hammocks. Hornets or bees of some sort were also entering holes in the house! Worst of all, the trail to the river is fun (my two dogs loved it and the beach) but really needs to be cut back. My wife got horrible itchy legs for weeks after going through the spider infested tall grass. Stay at your own risk!

Response from VrboOwner on 20 May 2022
There is virtually no flora or fauna in the house. We work hard to escort any unwanted bugs out the back door. We have a gentleman's agreement; the humans get the indoors and nature gets the outdoors. The backyard is a native riparian ecosystem. We leave it alone except for the removal of non-native invasive plants. This creates natural habitat for all sorts of critters. The bugs pollinate the trees and feed the fish and birds. The trees feed the deer, bugs, birds and squirrels. The birds live in the trees, eat the bugs, fish and squirrels and sow seeds for the trees. The deer eat the trees and plants. The mountain lions eat the deer and an occasional feral cat. The feral cats eat the rodents. The rodents eat the bugs and the neighbors feed the cats. When all is in synch, the river is full of fish, the sky is full of birds, the trees are ginormous and bursting with fruit and the damn deer don’t eat the beautiful flowers. Note that there are virtually no mosquitos, fleas, flies or ticks here because the spiders, birds and fish all eat them and because the Bay Laurels and Redwoods repel them. This is a good place to experience the circle of life and all that. If one finds that sort of thing itchy and gross, I suggest staying at the Marriott near the Walmart in the Rohnert Park suburbs. They work hard to keep the grounds sanitized for your protection using herbicides, pesticides, traps, poisons and concrete. The only living things are plants on artificial life support. Unfortunately, we don't provide psychedelics or blacklight posters, so if you want to experience the ground vibrate with spiders, you’ll have to bring your own. I prefer not to drop names, however; the “futon" is a gazillion dollar Ligne Roset convertible sofa. The mattress is a McCroskey. The linens are Calvins. The pillows and comforters are eurotrash goose down and the salt is Himalayan. Also, the cushions for the outdoor furniture get sheltered when it is raining. It typically does that a lot in the winter and spring. As mentioned above, this is a temperate rainforest ya know.

Very Best Location

My husband, myself, and our 2 labradors stayed a week at this property, and could not have been more pleased. The location, especially if you have dogs that swim, is the very best. Lots of amenities on the property to enjoy. Great and very informative communication from the host. Thank you so much for opening your home to us. We look forward to staying again in the future.

Relaxing long weekend

This place was fabulous. It was perfect for just my husband and I on our first covid getaway. We loved being able to walk right down to the river to enjoy the peace & quiet in the morning. We spent a couple days doing the area wineries and a day we drove to the coast and our location was perfect for doing both. Plenty of amenities to cook for yourself but also not too far away from restaurants. The hot tub was an added bonus. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Relaxing riverfront home nestled in greenery

We had a wonderful one week stay at the Cosmo River Sanctuary. The home is not large, but the outdoor decks and large property it sits on provides everything you'd need for a relaxing vacation with plenty of privacy. The house has a lot of personality and is clean and very well stocked. Our favorite things to do were: dining on the outdoor deck with candlelight, waking up to the natural light and lush greenery, swimming at Hacienda Beach, listening to music, soaking in the hot tub, visiting the many quaint stores and restaurants in the area, a 10 mile paddle on the river with Burke's canoes, bird and wildlife watching. Jay was helpful and responsive with lots of great suggestions for things to do in the area. The house is stocked with lots of little extras to make you feel right at home. A wonderful place to relax, unwind and commune with nature.

Jay's place is pretty magical — we enjoyed slow mornings on the deck and relaxing days floating on the river. We loved all the details of Jay's place and felt very welcome there. We can't wait to come back!

Great Location. Very relaxing.

This property is about as Zen as you can get. You feel like you are in your own private garden. The fruit trees are beautiful and fragrant adding to the overall relaxation feel. With 2 decks, a nice seating area under a tree, and two hammocks, there are plenty of places to watch the wild life and enjoy some quiet moments. Even on the hottest day there was a nice breeze that helped to keep things comfortable. The cabin is small but crafted beautifully in wood as the pictures show. Two people is the ideal number. We had a third person join us for a couple of days. It was a cozy, but totally doable. The bed is very comfortable. The cabin is centrally located for wine tasting and hiking on the coast. Jay is a very attentive host and great to work with.
