Nice Accommodations

The house was very nice and clean. The view was very nice. My greatest concerns came about up on arrival. First, there is no mention of the extremely narrow street and no dedicated parking. My son drives a large diesel truck that had to be parked far away. They have a 4 month old that had to be walked in the rain. Secondly, the steps were mentioned on the booking site but the steepness was not mentioned. I have very painful knees and walking up and down these stairs was painful and dangerous.

Stunning views but

Our stay was disappointing. We had come to the Russian River to celebrate my birthday. We soon discovered upon arrival that we were not alone. What we thought was a private home actually had a tenant living downstairs and another tenant in the guest house. We could hear the downstairs tenant talking, coughing, singing, playing music and showering. I'm sure she could hear us as well. From the guest house, we could hear music, could smell and feel the hot air from the clothes dryer vent in the courtyard when it was being used. The shutters to the guest house would be open and closed at various times and the tenant downstairs told us that someone was living there. There was a sign in the house asking us to observe a quiet time from 10pm to 9am so as not to disturb the downstairs tenants. I could find nothing in the online description for this house that included information about a tenant downstairs or an occupant in the guest house. There was a license posted at the front door of the house stating that this property should only have 1 tenant. Renting this home for 3 nights was not a small investment and our expectation was that it would be private. I think we were sold something that was misrepresented.

My wife and I had a very pleasant stay at this wonderful home. The house is tastefully furnished with everything we needed, to include a full kitchen, for a quiet getaway. We especially enjoyed the close proximity to Armstrong Redwoods State Park and downtown Guerneville, which was less than five miles away. Also, there is a free EV charging station less than 4 1/2 miles away from the home.

Great stay

A wonderful, spacious house with a great kitchen for us to cook meals in. Many thoughtful touches and you can tell that the hosts have made a lot of effort to meet all the needs of guests. Jeannie was communicative and friendly. A great house for a little getaway.

Monte Rio Russian River

Very comfortable nice home in Monte Rio overlooking the river. We stayed 3 nights and really enjoyed our mini-vacation at the Russian River Area. The kitchen was well equipped, so was the rest of the house. The owner was very helpful. Will definitely try to stay here again.
