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!

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.

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.

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.

The place was easy to find and perfectly fit the description. Property very well maintained and comfortable. It was poor cell phone reception in the house, but worked well outside. Wi-fi worked well. Neighborhood was quite during our stay. It is short walk to the center of Guerneville.

We stayed here with some friends for my boyfriends' 30th birthday. We rented both the upper & lower suite and it fit us great. We loved that it had a well stocked kitchen and was so close to the river. The only complaint we had was that there was no air conditioning in the upper suite & it got really warm. We put all the fans out & it helped a lot.

We spent 4 days in the Lower Suite and enjoyed our time. The apartment is clean, spacious, nicely furnished, and has the amenities needed for a very comfortable stay. The house is in a residential area, yet is in a wooded area on the edge of town, making it feel somewhat secluded. You can also walk into town and there is a bar / restaurant close by. The only issue we had was that when guests were in the upstairs unit, it was quite noisy downstairs. Unfortunately, these upstairs guests were up very late at night, making sleep challenging.

The place was very well kept and clean, comfortable beds and had some nice amenities. It was a nice place for a get away!

The place was exactly as described. It was clean, with comfortable beds, and all the necessary amenities to make our stay very pleasant. I loved how it was surrounded by nature and trees. The patio was lovely. The location was great, near downtown Guerneville. The host was very responsive, so all in all, I am very happy with our experience and can't think of anything negative to say.

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!

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.

Pete's retreat was a wonderful little treat! Hosts provided detailed and accurate directions to the home which was much appreciated for our midnight arrival. Cute guest house with all necessary amentities!

What a lovely little getaway, with everything as good or better than described. It's quiet, cozy, clean, private, and fully appointed. Watching a hummingbird flitter and perch every morning from the shower was a bonus! This is a perfectly located launching point for Wine Country.

What a great place to spend a weekend! If you're looking for a romantic getaway look no further. Private, comfortable, clean, well stocked, quiet and in a great location. The FGH is next to the main house, but it is screened for privacy. The property is large enough and secluded enough that you don't need to worry about privacy from neighbors, either. Beautiful gardens provide for a lovely atmosphere. Peter and Ana welcomed us warmly, and were great hosts. They were not to be seen or heard of after we arrived (unless we needed something, and in both cases they responded within minutes), so you could tell they take privacy seriously. The hot tub is roomy and comfortable and perfect for relaxing. Nice comfy robes are a huge plus. Shower is nice with good water coverage and water pressure. Lounge area in the loft is great for watching movies (of which plenty of DVDs are provided). The only tip I'd share is that there is not a stove (as is made clear in the photos), so if you plan on cooking a dinner prepare for using a grill (which does have a single burner in addition to the grill area). The kitchen supplies are very well stocked, however. They include nice dishware and silverware, great pots and pans, plenty of knives, cutting boards, a water boiler, coffee maker, toaster oven and more. When we realized we forgot our toiletry bag we were pleasantly surprised by their backup supplies in the bathroom. Thanks, Ana and Peter. We had a great time.

Great hideaway and loved the use of the pool and hot tub! Ana was great with her correspondence and I hope to rent there again for a quick get away soon!

They were extremely pleasant - great stay, fantastic pool, hot tub and garden!

Pictures don't do Pete's Retreat justice. The space is so adorable. Ana and Peter are great hosts who have filled their guest house with thoughtful details - we felt very taken care of despite the fact we never actually met them. The kitchenette had everything we could need for our trip (to include a much appreciated water filter), the wifi was strong, and relaxing in the hot tub after a day of wine tasting was just heaven. As mentioned in the listing, this retreat is a little off the beaten path but we had no problem getting Ubers during our stay. Forestville was also a convenient homebase for many wineries and great restaurants. We would absolutely love to come back!

We had an awesome stay at the Forestville Guest House. We just came for the weekend from SF, but I could have easily stayed for a week! We actually did not get a chance to meet Ana and Peter during our stay. The guest house is very private. We used the hot tub and sat by the pool for a little bit one morning. They have beautiful gardens that we walked around. We ventured up to Healdsburg and surrounding wineries and then took a day trip out to the coast. Such a beautiful area. I hope to make it back to this Airbnb location again!!

As described and shown. Sometimes you don't get exactly what you see, but this time you will. The privacy we wanted, with the amenities we were looking for. I'd recommend this place if you're heading up for a float on the Russian river or wine tasting excursion and looking for a place to stay the night or weekend.

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!

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.

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.

Irina was very responsive and lovely to work with in getting the details for this space. Very clean and cute for our gals getaway.

We had a great weekend

The outside space is wonderful. It's large but very well-fenced to keep children & pets from wandering off. The hot tub & fire pit are lovely, and each unit has a nice outdoor eating area. The downstairs unit is surprisingly spacious (each of the '2 bedrooms' has a separate walk-through space). The host is lovely - always helpful and very responsive. Rio Nido itself is a great community. You can't walk to the river, but being able to walk to the roadhouse and hang with the friendly neighbors makes up for that.

Listing description was accurate and we love the neighborhood. It was also nice to be informed of the toilet sensitivity issue. It worked like a charm and no reset was required.

Irina was very responsive and made our last-minute vacation really wonderful. We'll definitely be back.

Irina is an attentive host who made sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay, despite cold and rainy weather (which is beyond the control of any host). The setting amidst the redwoods and beside the Russian River make this a memorable destination.

This unit is a welcome respite for a quiet stay close to the Russian River and the charm of Guerneville. Newly remodeled and neatly kept, the photos here are accurate and give you a sense of just how much space you'll have to spread out and enjoy your stay. Communication with Irina was easy and straight forward. Upon confirming our stay, we received detailed instructions that included everything from tips about the drinking water (bring your own) to laundry and parking. I suspect any questions left unanswered would have happily been answered by Irina personally. Enjoy your stay! We did.

We found this to be a lovely spot in the Russian River. Our only regret is that we came for a wedding, so didn't have much of a chance to really settle in to GVille for the weekend. A recommended getaway! Irina was friendly, prompt, and the place was excellent.

This is a true gem! The property is large and sits on a beautiful, semi-private beach next to the river. I'd definitely recommend this space!

Kris was a very nice host! She was there when we arrived. There was everything we needed in the studio, even beers and sodas in the fridge and a bottle of wine on the kitchen table. We met the cat "Minou": lovely nice cat too! The studio was beautiful as described, maybe more. Surrounded by redwoods, the place was really quiet and beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay and wanted to stay more days there but our planning was already made. A place strongly recommended!

Really wonderful little retreat in the redwoods! Kris adds some really nice touches that make it feel like a true BnB, rather than "some extra apartment I have downstairs that I rent out every once in a while". As a repeat Airbnb'er, I'd easily rank this as one of the top places to stay.

Perfect quiet home in the middle of the woods for a tranquil weekend. Our host was out of town but just a quick message away to help us out and we had a tremendous time. Thank you for a perfect weekend.

Kris made my very first airbnb experience a very positive one~ she responded to my questions so quickly and with the friendliest attitude. When I met her on the day I arrived, she greeted me warmly and made sure I had everything I needed for my stay. Though, it was actually Minou (the cat in the picture) who first greeted me when I arrived~ he is the sweetest and most curious cat! As for the studio, it looks exactly like the photographs! It was extremely clean & comfortable and stocked with snacks, wine, and everything you need in the kitchen - including a coffee bean grinder (and beans!). It was also pretty easy to locate with my GPS since I used (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) street view prior to my trip to make sure I knew what I was looking for. There wasn't AC but the studio remained surprisingly cool even though it was 90 degrees outside. There were a couple of big spiders but you're out in the woods so it's to be expected. The surrounding area is very peaceful and beautiful. I brought my bike and had the best time riding through the winding tree-lined streets. The river was also very close and Kris told me about a great hiking trail with an amazing view that wasn't far away from the studio. Overall, it was a great experience and I hope to return!

Kris is a top notch host. She is wonderful, very friendly and very easy going. I caused a damage in her studio accidentally and she was extremely understanding. The studio is comfy and clean. It's in the middle of redwood trees! 5 stars all around.

The place was amazing, and Chris was so sweet and welcoming to myself, my boyfriend and Clyde (my dog). The place was exactly like the picture, get spot close to the river and ocean. Everything was clean and neat. We really loved our stay. This is Just and FYI, it did not bother use: there is a stair case into the upper part of the house ( it is completely locked off, so no one is using it) but it allows you to hear muffled sounds from up stairs.

This was my first airbnb experience and it was FANTASTIC! I have never even had a hotel experience this great. The room was very comfortable. The decor and homey touches, the bed (OMG), and the renters definitely helped me relax. Kris couldn't have been a better host. I really hope I get to go back next year!

The drive up off the main road was pretty narrow, especially driving up at night, but once we got to Kris' studio it was so cozy and comfortable my boyfriend and I couldn't have been happier with it. Kris left an adorably full gift basket for us with little snacks and the bed was very comfortable. We brought some groceries and the little kitchenette was perfectly capable for breakfast omelettes with fruit. All in all it was a really cozy weekend stay and Kris was super hospitable. There were even some puppy treats for our little terrier. 3

Our stay was very comfortable and was the perfect weekend away. We'd definitely stay here again next time we need a relaxing retreat.

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the retreat in the redwoods. Paul and Sheila were very accommodating, friendly and warm hosts. The house was the perfect escape from the city and groceries, shops, etc. were in close proximity. We enjoyed the goodies that were given to us. They were a wonderful surprise. We look forward to staying at the retreat in the future.

Waking up among the trees was magical, and Paul and Sheila were completely welcoming, thoughtful, and warm. They were able to accommodate our last-minute reservation request and did so very graciously. Cazadero is tiny and beautiful, and I'd come back in a heartbeat.

Paul and Sheila are wonderful people, they made us feel very welcome and we'd be happy to recommend their lovely Redwood house to anyone who wants to experience nice people and a beautiful setting. Make sure you don't miss Friday night at the Bakery with pizza and live music!

We loved staying at Paul and Sheila's secluded retreat. My friends and I found the apartment to be beautifully furnished and outfitted with everything we could possibly need. I was at first worried about the kitchenette, since I typically love to cook when I go away on retreats, but found that with the hot plate and all the dishes, utensils, and serving platters, there was nothing we couldn't make. Plenty of towels in the bathroom, and a hairdryer and complimentary soaps were provided. Paul and Sheila were even kind enough to offer to let us use their barbecue so we could grill on the Fourth of July—we didn't end up doing so but appreciated the gesture all the same. The basket of fruit, and the gifts of milk, OJ, sparkling water, wine, coffee, and tea, were all greatly appreciated and unexpected. The local little creek was marvelous to take a quick dip in, and we loved the bakery just down the road. All in all, a fantastic hideaway, which I'd be glad to revisit.

Paul and Sheila's place is like a treehouse, high up among the trees. It is beautiful to look out the window, and it's a short walk to the creek or the cafe, and a short drive to downtown Cazadero.

The relaxing retreat in the redwoods was the perfect getaway location that we needed. It's close to Guerneville and Healdsburg while also feeling secluded and located in the middle of the forest. The accommodations were perfect and Paul/Sheila are extremely attentive.

This is a beautiful retreat in the woods. A nice walk from the bakery and Cazadero Performing Arts Camp. Clean, very nicely decorated and comfortable. Love eating on the little terrace, and the fruit, DVDs, books and general welcoming vibe of our lovely hosts who were friendly, easy-going, allowing for privacy, and helpful. We LOVED it and would stay again in a heartbeat.
