About this property

The Attic At The Red Chateau - Russian River Wine Valley


  • In the heart of the Russian River Wine Valley -The Attic at the Red Chateau is located on the top floor of an old river cottage with a private entrance. Upon entry, you feel as if you have stepped into a charming tree-house in the woods. With over 600 square feet (plus a generous sized sun deck) ) , and modern amenities, the space boasts unique angles, interesting design, many windows with views of the forest and waterfall including beautiful old “running glass” rounded windows. Highest speed internet. Although not a chateau and no longer red, the name has remained since 1929. The space invites you to curl up in the corner window seat with a book or sip wine in the sitting area in front of the stove for cozy winter relaxation. For those warmer months there is a private deck and a trail close by that leads you to a sandy beach on the Russian River where swimming, kayaking and sunbathing are popular– about a 7-10 minute walk through Steelhead Beach State Park and lazy river raft - inflate your raft at the park. The ideal location allows you to venture any direction for an abundance of wineries, great restaurants and lots of summer fun and activities. Electric car charging station at parking area.

Such a darling place.

My partner and I adored this place! It's in a beautiful location, while still being close to many sites. The Attic is cozy, clean and comfortable, with all you might need. Plus you are surrounded everywhere by trees and it's so peaceful. It was a lovely way to spend our weekend getaway.

LOVE the Attic at the Red Chateau

Perfect place for a jump off point for the Russian River Valley. The Attic is nicely put together, cozy, and off the beaten path. Loved playing cards on the secluded deck. Russ was quick to respond when we couldn't figure out how to access Netflix:) Hope to maybe someday make it to Russ's rental in Mexico. Highly recommend the Attic in the Red Chateau!!

Like living in the treetops

Look in any direction and you’re looking at the upper branches of trees. In addition, the patio areas around the house are full of beautiful and well-maintained potted plants and flowers. Great location for access to wine country or the sea coast. Russ is a friendly and helpful host.

Perfect Stay at The Attic!

What a cool little spot - the unit is outfitted with everything you need, and nothing you don't need. The location is awesome, it's right near Steelhead Beach and a few miles from both Forestville and Guerneville. The unit does get a little hot being on the top floor, but a few fans and open windows make it perfect in the evening. Was even able to cook a few meals there. Absolutely 10/10 and will definitely return. Thanks Russ for the communication and assistance during the stay, can't wait to come back!
