LOCATION
Little House on The Creek overlooks Austin Creek. In the rainy season, the creek can be full and rapid. In the summertime, the creek is perfect for wading, swimming, berry picking, and sunning on the rocks. One of the cleanest waterways in California, this year-round creek is home to protected steelhead, great blue heron, egrets, kingfishers, ducks, and playful river otters. (Creek access is seasonal, as the bank can have loose sand or rocks -- enter during the summer at your own risk, no winter access.)
The house is located 14 minutes from the ocean, 17 minutes from Guerneville, 10 minutes from Monte Rio. It is close to many wineries, bakeries, restaurants, kayaking, and biking.
Nature enthusiasts will love exploring the paths of Austin Creek State Recreation Area. Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve offers amazing hikes amid a towering canopy of trees.

I was looking for a laid back getaway with our dogs. This property was exactly that! Loved having the secured fenced property where the dogs could roam while we relaxed by the fire-pit. I wish the path to the creek was not so challenging, but we still managed to get down there everyday. We were amazed at how clear the water was. We will definitely come back.

Great value
Price is what you pay, value is what you get. Not the cheapest rental I’ve been in, but everything worked, looked great, and the Vacasa staff bent over backwards to make sure everything was first rate!

Little House on the Creek
Nice little cabin on the creek short walk to 2 different swimming holes. Dog friendly with a nice landscaped and fenced in yard. No poison oak in site which was a first for any trip to Cazadero. We will most likely try to stay here again when are back up that way. All of the popular streaming services were provided so we did not have to use our logins. The only real issue was the down bedding which was and allergy starter, but there were other blankets so no muss no fuss.

Wonderful property, with one thing to fix
We just spent three blissful days at Little House on the Creek. The property is beautiful and not done justice by the photos. The yard features tall redwoods and apple trees, a fire pit, and lots of room to picnic or play. It is large and enclosed and great for a dog. The view of the creek from the deck is sublime, and we spent a lot of our time there having coffee or wine, reading ,etc. There is is zen feel to the whole thing that is delicious. The creek at this time of year is shallow and safe for anyone--human or animal. The gurgling sounds lull you to sleep at night.
The house is very clean and well equipped. Everything you would want to cook (note: It would be nice if they supplied some coffee and condiments--we had to make an extra shopping trip for these.) or entertain yourself. The bed is comfortable and the walk in shower appreciated by us old folks. Lots of equipment for beach play. Note that the path to the creek is quite steep in spots and not suitable for some with mobility issues.
All in all, a wonderful place to stay. On the other hand: Check out at 10am is outrageous, and puts a damper on a great vacation. We have rented VRBO homes all over the world for more than 20 years and have never heard of such a thing. There is no reason, especially since they don't let the next guest check in until 4pm.
That said, we enjoy the place so much, we would love to stay again. Check-in/out policy needs to be fixed, however. Pronto.

Caz trip
We loved the location and the delightful creek view and cozy home
We loved the location overlooking the river in the Redwoods. Close to several spots like Jenner and wine country.
The yard itself could use a bit of work, also a DVD/Bluray player would have been a great addition. Checkout at 10am seemed a bit early to us as well.

Access Code for Keypad did not work more than four out of five times
If you want to be stressed about whether you will be able to get back inside this lodging every time you return from an excursion, this place is for you. And why would anyone think a ten-digit keycode is needed? Besides that there were no screens on the bathroom windows and the toaster oven barely worked.
It is a magnificent property nestled in the middle of Redwoods. The house was tastefully decorated. The only challenge was that the door code did not work when we came in. This was a problem because there was no easy way to reach out to Turnkey because there is no cell service in that area. Luckily, the cleaners were around and they let us in. We were able to make contact with Turnkey for a new code after we were inside the house because they had a landline. Turnkey promptly responded and it was all good from that point. Thanks! Ellora

Amazing Place
The home was so cozy and out little one LOVED all the kids toys and games. We loved taking evening walks along the river and swimming in the swimming holes during the day. The home was very clean and we can’t wait to return!

Beautiful secluded place
Well équiped with all essentials.
The creek access is the highlight of this place.
One easy fixable problem is the air conditioner on the second floor.
The bedroom upstairs gets super hot in the evening that it is not possible to sleep without conditioner. The portable AC in that room is big and old and LOUD. My daughter ended up sleeping in the living room because the sound of that device was rattling through the whole house.

Peaceful and quiet
The yard is not very well kept and the pictures look way better then what it actually looks like. We pulled out the hide a couch and it was very dirty. We had to re wash a lot of the dishes. Other then that we enjoyed our stay very much. Did not want to leave.
We had a nice quick trip. Great place for dogs with the fenced yard. Location is nice and quiet to just relax. Could have just say and listened to the creek all day.
This worked great for traveling with a baby. The place was stocked with baby gear and even a few toys.

Access to Creek challenging if ur older. No place for luggage or clothes , closets filled with items
Setting peaceful, property private. Short trips out take you to Jenner and Duncan Mills with fun shop. The set up of first floor bedroom should be reviewed. Closet space and bed against the wall should be reconsidered.
The house offered perfect accommodations for the various weather conditions. Rain - enjoyed the indoor fireplace and playing boardgames. Sunshine - enjoyed relaxing by the creek.

We loved staying here! The property was fantastic and we were very comfortable.
This is a great little place with everything one could possibly need. Located on Austin Creek amidst the redwoods. Great location, close to Duncan Mills, the river, and the coast. Very cool yard with fire pit, Adirondack chairs, etc. Really a nice peaceful spot with all of the comforts of home. Would most definitely visit again.
