About this property

Aloha Russian River

Update! This is a quiet retreat and not a place for noisy parties. Noisy guests will be removed. Stars and sun! Dogs welcome. This home from 1947 sits on a large, private, sunny half-acre. There is another small rental cottage on the property with a year-round tenant who is very quiet and usually not there. The property is within walking distance to the Russian River and the town of Guerneville. Many upgrades have been made to the home while most of the original charm remains and there is a sunny deck with outdoor dining for six people. The large sunny front yard is a magical place to stroll and observe the many native plants, fruit trees and herbs. Note: due to the drought this year we will not be watering the grass. Behind the house is a woodland area with a giant olive tree and redwoods. There are several great, large sandy beaches nearby that only the locals know about (just ask). The property is great for stargazing . This is an old farm house style home, some of the surfaces are new and sparkling and some of the surfaces are historic and rustic. The home is especially clean with new dishwasher, new LG washer/dryer, new towels and sheets, great charm and natural light throughout. Guests will have access to the entire property except for a small caretakers cabin. The caretaker is usually not there and always very quiet. This home was built in 1947 for a widow by 2 local craftsmen carpenters. Please respect this historic old home like the old lady she is. Original artwork by local Guerneville artist Mark Lifvendahl is on some of the walls. UPDATE: this is not a party house, please observe quiet hours, no noise after 10 pm. The homeowners association, the Sonoma Conty Sheriff and the host now have a zero tolerance policy for noise after 10 pm. This is a place for quiet retreat. The home owner will be off property but lives in nearby Monte Rio.

Great stay in Guerneville
Mark was very accommodating and really enjoyed our time at his place. It was close to town, with a quick drive or even a walk. Nice, quiet place with everything we needed.

Great visit with family
Mark's house was spotless and well-equipped for our family stay. The deck was perfect for family dinners and the property is well-located for a quick walk to the local playground (for my nephew) and downtown for food, etc. Mark was easy to contact and responsive to inquiries and requests for advice on how to enjoy the area. We would definitely stay at his house again.

Beautiful peaceful place
Quiet and beautiful house located in a magical yard with an edible landscape and flourishing trees! We loved this little spot and wished we could stay longer. Gorgeous art on the walls (the owner just might be the artist?), a sweet deck, clean, spacious and comfortable. Great privacy, happy vibe and within restaurant delivery service!
