We loved the area!

Cozy, clean and quiet. Very comfortable and had everything we needed for a weekend get away. Kathleen put together a very informative binder that even includes the history of the house. We hope to be back,!

The Redwood Cottage was the perfect escape from our busy city life. It was tucked away in the trees of a delightful neighborhood. Kathleen provided plenty of suggestions for what to do in our visit and we were lucky enough to stay during the annual block party. We walked into town and had a delicious, romantic dinner at boon. We'll definitely be back!

Kathleen's place was terrific. It was the perfect retreat after a long day of hiking. The grounds are beautiful and the home is cozy with a great sitting area in the bedroom. We walked to dinner and to breakfast the next morning, both to charming restaurants. This far surpassed a sterile hotel environment and I only wish we could have stayed longer!

Kathleen's cottage is cozy and close to everything I wanted to do in Guerneville, and she's a gracious host. I highly recommend.

Kathleen was a terrific host who made us feel right at home. The studio was clean, comfortable and cozy and had everything we needed. It was very private and a short 5 minute walk to all of the town's eateries and attractions. She even went so far as to prepare a well organized binder full of pertinent info on the area including restaurant menus, a history of the region and even listed her favorite hikes. This was our first Airbnb bookingand we could not have asked for a better host and experience. We hope to stay here again soon!

Clean, quiet, cozy. The studio has everything you could possibly need during your stay including very thoughtful recommendations and the areas history. Beautiful neighborhood and town. Try to stay multiple days because there is much to do!

Lovely place- clean, comfortable, peaceful, great location.

The garden studio was right by the river. Our host Ursula has a canoe and few kayaks for us to use. We hopped on a canoe and paddle upstream, and swam in the river in the sunny afternoon. It was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. We love the river. The studio is cozy. The garden is beautiful. We grilled vegetables for diner and ate at the garden table. We ate brunch in a warm Sunday morning. The warm sun and the garden are definitely a highlight of our stay in Guernville. Our host is super friendly and gave us good tips about enjoying the area.

.

My sister and I stayed at Ursula's little apartment for 2 nights. Ursula was a gracious The garden is lovely and inspirational, and the river was beautiful as well. The apartment was clean and very comfortable. I especially loved the sounds of her chimes making music in the breeze.

Good directions, easy to find. Ursula is a charming host and her garden level studio space is nicely appointed. The garden is so sweet and has direct access to the river. Her attention to detail is evident throughout, I will definitely be back.

Ursula was very nice and welcoming and was flexible about arrival time after we got stuck in traffic. The house was in a fairly crowded neighborhood but she had a lovely private garden. We weren't there during the day so we didn't get to see what it was like then. Didn't feel like we were in our own place as we were right underneath her but we did have our own entrance and bathroom, etc. Overall a pleasant stay.

We had an excellent stay over the weekend with Ursula at her beautiful garden studio. We enjoyed use of the two kayaks and spent most of our time in her beautiful, sunny garden. The studio was very clean and had everything we needed for cooking and comfort. We can't wait to visit again!

Ursula's place in Guernville was fantastic. It was exactly what we were looking for. Quiet, Charming and not right in the center of town. We loved chatting with her and exploring her gorgeous garden. If the river was a little higher we would have kayaked as the place is right on the river. We would recommend this place to anyone.

his was an incredibly clean studio space next to a patio garden. Ursula was a great hostess, very accommodating. The room and bathroom were nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. I had a restful experience in her home. I highly recommend this listing. This was my first time using airbnb and everything went very well. I highly recommend the room!

Great stay in Guerneville! The apartment was just as described and was clean and very convenient. Being surrounded by redwoods was awesome. Thanks, Irina!

We had a relaxing and stress free experience! The apartment is clean, cozy, comfortable in a beautiful setting. Irina is a great host - easy to communicate with and clear instructions on everything.

Loved the location in the Redwoods! Cute place - very comfortable for a couple and had a very peaceful first night. The second and third nights were a little less peaceful since the adjacent unit and downstairs was also occupied and you could hear and feel that. That's life - and thanks, Irina, for being super responsive to all our questions! Trip highlights - Korbel winery & deli, Armstrong State Reserve and kayaking (with Burke's) down the Russian River.

The apartment offered what we were looking for, and the kitchen was fully stocked. It's close to the town of Guerneville. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. The picture is absolutely accurate, and the home has a homey feel to it. The confirmation mail stated to bring your own drinking water. I would recommend you follow this suggestion, as the tap water did have a slightly metallic taste. Other than that everything was as expected. We got to spend a great weekend in one of our favorite little towns and enjoy the sun by the river shore.

This place is perfect for relaxing in the Redwoods. The space is very comfortable, clean and easy to enjoy. There was plenty of space for the 3 of us and the Murphy bed was excellent. The host was easy to get a hold of but there really wasn't any need because everything is right there.

The place was fantastic! Secluded, in the woods, and everything was as described. Would definitely recommend this place.

Irina was really welcoming when she accepted our request. She sent detailed, clear instructions on how to get set up at her place so check in was smooth. The view and fire place make it really cozy. There were a couple board games and coffee already there which was a treat since it was a stormy weekend. It's a great, affordable place for anyone wanting to relax and have th ease of getting into downtown Guernville. It's just down the road!

Great condo in the redwoods! We spend very nice time at Russian River and felt like home! The neighborhood is nice and quite. Pictures and descriptions provided by Irina are very accurate and detailed. Thank you, Irina, for making our first Airbnb experience so special! We fell in love with this place and will come back in the future.

Cute place and clean!

This property and location is a total slice of heaven! M&V are incredible hosts and the cottage is beautifully decorated and immaculate. Very close to the main street of Guerneville with great restaurants and public beaches. We can't wait to come back and stay here again!

We had a great stay! The place was very comfy and seemed to be brand new. Definitely recommended.

We had such a wonderful time at Marvin's place. The space was clean, nicely decorated, and offered all of the essential amenities. I would recommend this home to anyone!

We enjoyed staying at this place. It's a nicely furnished apartment with a small outside deck. However, space is limited inside so there is no dining table and only limited kitchen equipment to cook dinner. The couch is very comfortable and a small beach is in walking distance.

Marvin and Vanessa were really warm and welcoming, making it really easy to check-in and make sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. They were such great hosts, and even went out of their way to help us when got stranded in the area, from a dead car battery. The neighbourhood is great - it's tucked away in a quiet area but a very quick drive to downtown and the grocery stores, liquor stores, etc.

We were greeted so after our arrival by the owners. Super friendly and helpful. Nice car for sale in the front too! Place was very nice, as advertised. Lot's of light.

Marvin was great, and this beautiful little home is the best! It is cozy and perfect for a weekend getaway. Very clean, well-maintained, and great for a couple. Also, Marvin and his wife are perfect hosts, they took care of everything and were very friendly. Can't recommend enough!

We had a great stay! We never met Jason, but arrival was smooth, and text communication was clear and convenient. The place was very clean and comfortable. Having both a bathtub option and a hot tub option made for the perfect water-filled weekend. It is an easy 20 minute walk to town, although I recommend bringing a flashlight for the walk back after dark. During the day on Saturday, we drove in. Parking on both sides was easy. We will definitely be back!

This place absolutely fulfilled our expectations and hopes. I totally recommend it! The absence of a cell phone signal is a distinct advantage - and the instructions we were given were great, plus Jason even arranged for a near neighbour to be on call as needed while he was abroad. Also, Guerneville is a small and really friendly town within easy walking distance from the property

Justin & Kim are very welcoming & have great recommendations.

Jason was very welcoming. His place has everythng you need for a perfect stay. We even had the chance to taste a great homebrew! His guesthouse his right between Sonoma/Napa Valley and the route 1... approx 20 min from each places! In the middle of redwood trees up on a hill, it's a very cosy place. We recommend it anytime!

The guesthouse was exactly as described. We had a great time BBQ'ing on the deck and enjoyed the hot tub SO MUCH! Thanks for everything, Jason!

Had a good time in Guerneville with at the Redwood guesthouse. The Softub was nice to soak in and the room/studio was clean and well organized. We appreciated the fruit and wine being set out for us. Jason was accommodating and helpful. All in all, great stuff.

Jason and his wife were really awesome hosts. Jason met me when I arrived and showed me the place and walked me through everything. They had wine & beer, snacks, coffee, tea & fruit for us. When my friend arrived we all had a drink and some laughs on the deck and Jason gave us some tips about the area.The place is a small studio but very well arranged. The bathroom is very nice with a jet tub and plenty of room to move around. Kitchen is fully equipped if you want to cook. The highlight though is the deck area which has a table to sit at, hot tub, reclining chair and a portable fire pit with plenty of wood. The location is great too, just a few minutes from Guerneville and easy access to the coast or wherever you intend to go. I will definitely come back and I highly recommend the guesthouse. It's a great value.

This is the second time we've stayed at the guesthouse. Jason and Kim are awesome hosts, very friendly and accommodating but respectful of your space. They stock the kitchen with necessities (coffee, cereal, milk, fruit...) and Jason left a couple of bottles of his home-brewed IPA. The deck with the hot tub is perfect for relaxing under the redwoods. Bathroom has a great tub too and the bed is super comfy. Great value for all the amenities. Surely we'll be back again!

Conveniently close (by car) to downtown, serene surroundings, amazing amenities! Fully stocked kitchen with all the basics. Lovely host (from the two minutes of interaction). There was a bottle of red on the table and even a bottle of Jack Daniels in the freezer, which was a nice touch. Also, towels for days. All the towels you could possibly need. The coffee table seems like it's a puzzle, but after 15 minutes of flipping it around trying to figure out how to open (what seemed to be) a drawer, my partner and I concluded that it is just a coffee table with a mysterious box that can't be removed. Perfect for a weekend getaway to Guerneville. I'm at my lame desk job in the city wishing I could be back there.

Everything was great would definitely recommend this place!

Had an excellent two nights here. Very comfortable bed- an all around cozy place. We took advantage of some of the restaurants recommended in the description and they were right on. Lovely area too.

We had a great two night stay at Ocean's cozy studio! It was just as described and everything we could have asked for. Super clean, great location, privet and a super comfy bed! Thank you Ocean! Hopefully we will be back soon!

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Ocean and his mom were great hosts. The wireless router crashed, and they had it replaced immediately, so the internet was back up and running within the hour. Thanks again for that, Mina! I recommend a visit to nearby Armstrong Woods to walk among the giant redwoods.

Host welcomed us on arrival.

About the hosts: they responded quickly, were flexible and tried to accommodate us (though we weren't able to take them up on their offers because of our own schedule). About the place: I ended up not being able to go at the last minute due to an emergency so my husband went alone. He says it would have been a nice, cozy place for two people with a great location. However, he found the studio to be very unclean. So much so that it made his stay pretty physically uncomfortable. He didn't share with the host during the weekend for fear that it would make for an awkward remainder of the stay. Upon his return we did communicate in detail about these issues and the hosts were very responsive. It is almost impossible for us to be able to get away so the condition of the home did make for a disappointing experience especially at the price we paid.

Had another lovely weekend trip to the tree house. Enjoyed seeing the farm growth since our last visit. Highly recommend!

Privacy shade and a hot tub in the redwoods in the back; sun and comfortable socializing area in the front to visit and sample delicacies. Beautiful apartment. Solid. Comfortable. Clean. Big. Nice bed. Really sweet place. We highly recommend you take the tour and spend time learning the farm: we are now thinking about converting our outdoor space to permaculture. Everything about the facilities and Steve and Pamela is top shelf.

Pam and Steve are really nice and have a beautiful farm. We only stayed for one night and it was raining, so we didn't get a chance to get the infamous tour from Steve, next time! If you want to wind down from city life and enjoy nature, then this is the place to go. Thank you, Pam and Steve!

Pamela and Steve made us feel so welcome, and spoiled us with home brewed beer, fresh farm treats, breakfast and a wonderful tour of the farm.

This was my second visit - we had such a great time on our last trip, I brought my farmer friend this time so she could also experience Pam and Steve's warm hospitality and wonderful vision of regenerative farming and Permaculture Design. Another great stay!

I had the most relaxing time. It was exactly what I was hoping for. I will definitely be back.

One of a kind experience with one of a kind hosts. We enjoyed our stay and have already recommended the tree house to all of our family and friends. We will be back!

Treehouse was perfect for a serene weekend getaway from the city: charming, eclectic, rustic and idyllic. Pam and Steve were gracious hosts from the initial booking to our departure with helpful recommendations, passion for sustainability and fabulous farm to table breakfast. We enjoyed our stay and loved this unique and enlightening experience.

We had a great time. Mars is really helpful and nice. Cooking facilities and bed were great

It was close to town. Cute studio and it had everything we needed. Marz was very friendly and welcoming. Great place to stay.

great location. had everything i needed for a week at the river.

We stayed at marz's studio for 3 nights,very cozy and nice studio. The location is great,close to the armstrong redwood park and Russian river.

Marz is a gracious and warm host who seemingly loves people. From the get go he was very receptive to our messages and even well as accommodated our late arrival with a key lockbox. Once inside our room, the tiredness of the long drive from Oakland melted away. My wife and I immediately felt at home. The Russian River Studios are exactly what AirBnB is all about. You'll totally feel the warmness and tranquility of being at home, and not the cold sterility of a motel. Bed linens and towels were clean and seemed new. The furniture was vey comfortable, particularly the most important part of any stay, the bed. I'd say it was the most comfortable bed I've slept on in a while, not including our own at home. The kitchen was well stocked with all manner of utensils and dish ware. Our interactions with Marz during our stay were relaxed and informative, due to his vast knowledge of the area. However, this review would not be complete without mentioning Marz's trusted companion, Bruno. We're glad we received this delightfully cute Yorkie's approval after a good sniffing once over. While he was very verbal upon our first meeting him, we didn't hear a peep from him the remainder of our stay. He's definitely a very respectful co-host! I literally cannot fit all the good I'd like to say about our stay. Please experience the Russian River Studios for yourself. You'll have zero regrets.

Nice, clean lodging in the perfect location for out door lovers. 10min drive to the redwoods and about 15-20min to the ocean. Would stay here again. The only hiccup in our trip was after sending an email, message and text message a couple days before/ and day of our arrival to set up a time to get the keys Marz was not responsive. We eventually got a hold of him but as a visitor that is the last thing you want to worry about. Everything worked out but responding to a message through air bnb to easily facilitate a visit is much appreciated.

Marz is a great guy. Friendly, easy to talk to. Communication prior to or arrival was excellent, and once we were there, he had great recommendations for us of places to eat and things to do. Thank you Marz

A great stay! Marz was courteous and friendly. We didn't arrive until late, but he had a lockbox for us, so no issues with that. The room was newly updated and comfortable. Love that a kitchenette was included as well! Everything was so easy, I will definitely stay at Russian River Suites next time I'm in Guerneville!

Bill and Ben were fantastic hosts. The house is cozy and in beautiful setting. We had a great time. Highly recomend.

The sunset manor had a beautiful patio and more than enough room for the three of us. Ben greeted us warmly and gave us a lengthy tour of the property. The neighborhood was calm and peaceful. Our only issue was that the water had a sulfur-y smell, which made my showers brief. Otherwise, great location close to shops and restaurants while still being secluded.

My husband and I took my parents (who were visiting from Minnesota) to the Russian River for the weekend. Bill and Ben were generous and attentive hosts. They welcomed us even upon our late arrival, giving us a thorough tour of Sunset Manor and making us feel welcome. The views from the unit are incredible, and all of Guerneville is within easy walking distance. Bill and Ben gave us plenty of privacy, even though they live upstairs. The place was great for our two doggies, with a large fenced in back yard separate from the front yard. We cooked a LOT while staying here, and the kitchen (although small) had everything we needed. Bill and Ben even provide freshly ground coffee for their guests. Since the unit is in the basement, and Bill and Ben said there was a water spill recently, it was very musty when we arrived. However, the smell dissipated after a day of cooking and lighting a fire in the fireplace and it ended up not being an issue for us. However, if someone in your party has severe allergies, this may not be the place for you. This unit isn't fancy or luxurious, but quaint and cozy. For the value and comfort Sunset Manor has to offer, we would definitely stay here again.

A very cute place with just enough space for our group of 6. We had such a fun time. The place is set up with as much technology as you need. and is close enough to walk to everything on the main strip of Guerneville (if you don't mind an uphill walk back.) If you're concerned that the owners live above the rental unit and you can't relax like it's your private space, DON'T BE. Bill and Ben give you the utmost privacy. We were able to stay up late all weekend with our cocktails and card games. I was afraid we'd bother them staying up late but they said nothing. This was our little place for the weekend. Such gracious hosts!

Host greeted us as soon as we arrived. He explained "need to know" things about the unit but there was also a well done pamphlet that covered guest information, including excellent internet and cable connections. Sunset Manor is close to downtown but up hill all the way. We never actually walked to town, mostly because it was very cold when we stayed there so didn't make use of the deck either. During the day we explored Armstrong Woods and ventured out to the coast. Hiking the Kortum Trail was actually warmer than being in the redwoods - a perfect fall day!

The Sunset Manor was a comfortable weekend getaway. Four of us stayed here over a long weekend to do some wine tasting. Unfortunately for us, it rained near the entire time we were there. With that said, this was a great little lower-apartment for the weekend in the rain! While we were gone the majority of the time, this quaint unit is located below the owner's on the 1st floor - you do enter through a private door. The drive up to the house is a fun one-lane road (SUV recommended in poor weather) but the house has 2 very easy parking spaces for the guest unit. The place is very well heated! As long as you turn it on, the heat is incredible! They also have a wood-burning fireplace - which was great while we were there (especially when the power went out! - which, was due to a fallen tree in the area and was back on within a few hours; and truly was pretty fun for us). There is a propane BBQ outside that you can use, nice big dining room table, smaller kitchen, but totally great for the weekend, and nice TVs - WiFi was great too (clearly a technologically sound host)! Bill and Ben really did a nice job of greeting us and communicating. They gave us space, yet communicated with us very appropriately regarding the power outage and additional amenities that they offered. They sent a message down to the printer that is located in the guest level that we could have the SF Chronicle and that it would be at our door (and it was), they also left a nice note on the door when we were gone that due to the time change (daylight savings) that we could check out an hour late the following day. They had a lot of personal touches that really showed their professionalism and caring about the house and us as guests.

We had a great time here. Its only about a 10 minute walk to the main strip, and everything was just as advertised. Would definitely stay here again!

Bill and Ben's place was a great value. Comfortable and peaceful, the house was a very easy walk to town but tucked in the hills with a lovely view. Bill and Ben run a very organized listing, with easy communication and thoughtful attention to detail. They seem genuinely interested in you having a pleasant stay in the area.

Our group of four had a wonderful stay at Foothill Flats-Upper Suite. Very spacious and clean flat with large living space and kitchen including outdoor living space on the deck. Check-in and check-out was straight-forward and easy. Only a few minutes drive to downtown Guerneville. Would recommend to others and would stay again when in town!

Leti & Mike's home was the perfect spot for a girls weekend getaway. I went with a few girlfriends & we loved everything about this place from the private patio with a fire pit as you walk onto their property, to the open living space inside. For starters, you truly feel like you're secluded in the forest because of the trees & greenery in the neighborhood, every window offers a beautiful forest view & you can barely see any neighbors although they are close. The neighborhood is nice & peaceful. We were lucky enough to be able to get an uber to take us downtown to a few bars on a Saturday night, it was a 20 min wait for the uber to get to us because they are all in Santa Rosa area, so keep that in mind. The river was a 5 min drive, all in all a great location. The home was well equipped with enough towels, wash cloths, beach towels, extra blankets, some games, all kitchen items needed, basic spices & such. They have a great layout & beautiful home & I would definitely return.

We had a wonderful weekend at Leticia and Michael's place - their place is impeccably clean, tucked into the trees (and so stayed cool on a warm spring day) and was more than comfortable for four adults. Location was ideal for exploring the area, and the house was well stocked. Check in and check out were very easy.

Leticia and Michael's home was lovely--well situated between the river and at the base of a mountain, and perfectly placed to explore the coast or wine country. The outdoor patio was a wonderful way to spend the evening. The home was clean and well-stocked, and I wouldn't hesitate to stay again!

This was a wonderful space! Modern, cozy, clean and well stocked! Totally comfortable for our group of two couples, each with a 1 yr old. Location was perfect for easy access to nearby wineries and river beaches.

We had a great time exploring the Russian River area. The studio was very clean and comfortable. It is great to have a full kitchen and bbq since we cooked the first night we were there. We tried out the jacuzzi and it was clean and very relaxing. My son couldn't get over the Murphy bunk beds and enjoyed checking out both upper and lower bunks. Irina was great at responding to questions quickly and we wouldn't hesitate coming back to this unit. Thanks again Irina for accepting our first airbnb adventure, we really appreciate it!

Irina was as responsive as they say - the entire time. A circuit breaker went out the night we got there but she mobilized somebody within an hour to fix it. It put a dent in the night (35 degrees inside and out) but can't say it was anyone's fault. Pros - nice kitchen, well stocked, you'll lack for nothing - double headed shower with great output, warms the bones - quiet both nights, even with a party going in the adjacent apartment - hot tub, but we didn't use it Cons - Basic cable, no DVD players that we saw - it's a studio, so you get semi-loud white noise all night with the heater (mandatory) and the Fridge - nice medley - bathroom light is weak for those that need it (think make-up) - Murphy Bed is a twin, not queen - the wife and I we're somewhat cramped There is a small dog park 5 minutes walking from the unit, which was a nice bonus for our mini-schnauzer.

Irina place was as described in the photos. Good central point to discover the coast and Sonoma wines. Houses are very close together so be prepared to meet the neighbors.

Place was soo much fun, walked to stumptown brewery. If you plan on cooking a lot bring your own pots. Gas stove was great to have! Over all I will definitely rent again over summer!

Irina was extremely responsive and provided a detailed packet of information for our stay including instructions for everything and recommendations for things to do. The beds were easy to pull out - and we did not have to put them back! Parking was easy. The hot tub was huge and delightful - very relaxing. One thing to note is that there is a large skylight in the studio - so if you are sensitive to light you may want to bring an eye mask if you are hoping to sleep in. The studio is well shaded and has 2 ceiling fans which keep the place cool. Rio Nido has a convenient tunnel to access the river. Both Stumptown and the Rio Nido Roadhouse are within walking distance. If you want to walk to Guerneville, use Old River Road - much less traffic, but pitch black at night! I would stay here again and would recommend it. I think it would be a little tight for 4 adults, but we were a party of 3 adults and felt the space was just right.

The house was awesome. We loved staying there. Its a fun place and really near where we wanted to be. Great hot tub and surrounded by huge sequoia trees.

Lovely little space, very neat and stylish! Perfect for a couple or small family that wants to hike in the redwoods or play on the beaches.

Me and a couple of girlfriends stayed at Irina's cabin and had an amazing time. Irina was an amazing host. The cabin was clean and well stocked. Would definitely stay here again.

The room is best described as a nice motel-style suite. We were given a different room than the one pictured, but same layout. The apartment was clean. The floors were linoleum. The bed was big and comfortable. The headboard furniture/decoration piece was made of painted plywood. The kitchen was large, and properly equipped, included a full-sized fridge. The bathroom was clean. The shower was big enough for 1 person. Arrival was smooth. We got in late, but that was not a problem since our keys were in a lockbox. The host was easy to communicate with via text before checkin. He provided an iron and ironing board in the room by request. He also assured us that there was a hairdryer in each room. Overall, nice place to stay and very polite host.

The room was exactly as described, and we liked it ! Bedroom had pleasant decor, comfortable bed, nice medium firm pillows, comfortable blankets, with thoughtful amenities and supplies everywhere. Fairly good sized kitchen and bathroom, both private. Kitchen had big refrigerator, microwave, stove, etc, all of which we liked. Bathroom did not have exhaust fan, but this was not a problem for us. Room heater worked perfectly. The suite was located in a quiet neighborhood, and we could not hear our neighbors, so that was also good. We were able to check in late at night which is good. All suites are on elevated floor, so there are about 12 steps to climb which was not a problem for us. Parking was free.. in fact you can park right in front of your suite. The location is close to many attractions such as Genner, Sebastopol, Bodega Bay, Fort Ross and Salt Point State Park, all within 30 to 40 minutes drive. Guerneville is a small town, but it has a Safeway, gas stations, fast food chains and ATMs, so you won't feel left out while still being at a remote location. Our suite had wifi, and our cell phones had pretty good reception too. Certainly a better option to consider compared to, say, Santa Rosa which increases your commute time to the above attractions. It is a perfectly safe place to stay in spite of a few homeless folks you might find here and there in town. No need to stand in line to check in and out. Just grab the keys from lock box or from the host, and hand over the keys back, that's it ! We met our host Marz on our first morning, and he greeted me warmly by calling my name and with a big smile. Marz was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. He is also very prompt in responding, and answers his phone every time. If we revisit these areas, will definitely consider staying here again.

This is a darling little place to stay. Marz was a warm gracious host. I couldn't have asked for more.

This is the second time we've stayed at the studio apartments in Russian River and it was just as wonderful as the first time. There's pretty much no reason for us to stay anywhere else when we're in the Guerneville area unless we want a more rustic experience. It sounds cliche but when we're there, they make us feel as though we're the only guests. It was my birthday and I opened the door that day to find a small bottle of Korbel, orange juice and chocolate! That's a true story. Pool in the back, free wine and cheese at 5, and all the local recs you can stand. Clean, cozy, close to the town center, we're never left wanting. Next time we're there, we're staying here.

We had a great stay! Marz was super friendly and helpful, and the apartment was very clean, well designed and had everything we needed. Great location just across the main road from the river. We would definitely stay again!

I originally tried to book the studio a week ahead of my stay and found out that it had already booked up. Marz reached out to me when a cancellation came through and I was able to stay the nights I needed. The studio was exactly as described and in a perfect location with easy parking right in front. I was so glad it had a full size fridge as I had appetizers for a party the next day and was able to keep them cold. Even though I was coming in a bit late and had a lock box waiting for me on the door, Marz came out and greeted me and helped me with my bags. Thanks Marz! I will definitely recommend the Studios to friends.

We very much enjoyed staying at Marz place! The unit was very cute & clean. Marz was very helpful and responded quickly to our needs. Good location by the river & close to the downtown area. I would definitely stay there again.

My husband and I were in town for a triathlon, and found Marz's place. He has several small studio apartments for rent. Each apartment seems to have a particular color scheme/ theme. There is also an art gallery in the downstairs of the building. The studio that we stayed in was clean and comfortable for 2 people. In addition to a bed/tv/ table area, there was also a small kitchen with an oven, fridge, sink and coffee maker (very important); as well as a bathroom. I loved how each apartment is unique. The gallery, and outdoor sitting area across the street with is fruit trees also contribute to creative and laid back vibe of the place. We also got to meet Marz. He was very flexible with our check in time, and very knowledgable of the Gureneville area. We will definitely be back!

The owner was around for part of the weekend, and lives in the unit upstairs - they were nice and accommodating. The house also comes with 2 kayaks and has a great dock for river access. Dog friendly and kid friendly - we had a great stay.

Beautiful place. The pictures do not do it justice! Very cute. The beds and the linens we luxurious and the gas stove in the living room cozy. Kitchen is very functional and stocked with most basics, despite the lack of counter space (we used the table for extra). The week we went was very cold and while the living room was cozy, the second bedroom, kitchen and bathroom were cold. The provided down comforters and extra heaters were much appreciated! Bring your slippers! Very convenient location. We went to Guerneville, Sebastapool, Armstrong Redwoods, Duncan Mills and traveled home down the coast. Bucolic rolling hills and gorgeous coast!

It was a very pleasant place to stay. It's on the bottom floor of a house so you don't get a ton of sunlight in the place itself, but the backyard looks out onto the river and it's very quiet. Great place to relax. It's walking distance from the main part of Monte Rio and the beach. The beach is dog friendly and there is a great breakfast place with a dog run attached. In general a very dog friendly location. The place was clean and the kitchen was very nice. We really enjoyed our stay.
