The kitchen was great! Plenty of dishes and utensils…. I would add a new skillet or two. Downstairs shower is hard to use for anyone under 6’2”…way too high to reach or change shower head. We loved the light, location, and cleanliness. All beds were comfy.

Perfect Spot for a Relaxing Weekend in Guerneville

We spent a long weekend at this home with two families, 4 adults, 3 kids, and a small dog, and had a fantastic time. The house is well-designed, with ample space for everyone to relax comfortably. The kitchen was a highlight: well-stocked, functional, and perfect for cooking and hanging out together.The location is excellent. It's just a short, scenic walk to downtown Guerneville and a great beach on the river. It was easy to explore the area without needing to drive much, and we appreciated being able to stroll into town for coffee, meals, and shopping.Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a relaxed getaway with friends or family in a beautiful part of Sonoma County.

Easter weekend on the Russian River

Loved the location of the house, a lovely walk to town, and short easy drives to many parks and recreation areas. The home was welcoming and had everything needed for us. We were two families consisting of three kids ages 6-13, one grown up kid, and three adults and we were accommodated well. A minor issue with the hot tub was quickly resolved. Clare was accessible and attentive. Thanks for a lovely visit!

Ah. Where to start? Of course the Russian River area is a beautiful place from the vineyards, to the Redwoods, to the cool swimming and paddling waters, right down to the estuary at Jenner. And this home is set up beautifully for an extended family or cheerful group of friends. Easy to get in, EVERything stocked up well: kitchen stuff, bath stuff, and lots of beds. The deck extends right from the living and dining room and was great for hanging out and chatting. The hot tub/spa is maintained impeccably and we followed the protocols to keep it that way as we used the spa daily for a fun luxury. Clare was easy to touch base with for any questions we had and her vivacious personality permeates this relaxed, fun home through its decor and amenities. You can't miss if you stat at Perfect Location.

Lovely retreat near the Russian River and Guerneville

The house and location were superb for our group of 7. The house had plenty of space to gather as a group, but also have space to yourself for reading a book or napping. The kitchen was well setup for cooking a meal of any kind. The owner was very friendly, proactive, and responsive. We had an absolutely lovely weekend and look forward to returning!

Great family location

Our family (infant, toddler) met up with sister's family (2 kids) and had a lovely time. We stayed upstairs with the young kids, older kids had their own room as did their parents. Good open plan. For the price point, it was a great site. While some things may be a bit dated, the oven comfortably cooked a 20lb turkey for us :) and the dining table sat everyone for meals. Oh, and my sister's dog had a great time, well sealed yard for her to get out. Would recommend for folks looking for a similar kind of get together.

Hidden gem for groups and pets

Clare is a gracious host who offers an amazing home for people and pets! We were pleasantly suprised at the accomadations during our holiday get away and it was truly refreshing to find an offering where we could bring our 2 large dogs in such a nice home, lots of care and love has gone into maintaining this property. The location is great as its located on a quiet street yet its just a short walk to town where you can find some wonderful restaurants and shops. You are also just a short scenic drive to many wineries which we particularly loved. We would highly recomend this hos and home and will hopefully be planning trips in the future!

Wonderful family time!

This is the only VRBO we’ve been to multiple times - it was our third visit and we will be back. We keep coming back because we play games on that big table, make cookies for ice cream sandwiches in the wonderful kitchen, enjoy a leisurely morning on the couches with a peaceful treetop view and the dogs smile as they run in the yard. The location is perfect- we enjoy taking advantage of the yummy restaurants and fun put put golf. But the home and yard is why we keep coming back. It rained half of our visit and we were perfectly happy and cozy. Thank you Clare for sharing such a special place with us.

Beautiful and comfortable - feels like home!

My family and I had a fantastic time while staying at Clare's property. The beautiful house has a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and a hot tub. We couldn't ask for more! Clare was great at communicating and quickly replying to any message we sent. One very small thing, if you're planning on having picnics around Russian River, the house doesn't have Tupperware/food containers to transport your food, so bring those in case you need.

Fantastic Find

We enjoyed our stay at this fantastic find. So close to Town, just a short walk over the bridge. Peewee golf place wasn’t open nor did it look like it had been for years. Very run down. The redwood park was stunning and we enjoyed many walks there. Our walk through town was fun and although we were there during off season many merchants were open. We will definitely return to this wonderful place. The property manager was amazing and always responded so quickly. Thanks you gain for the wonderful stay.
