Lovely home with beautiful grounds and fun activities. We loved the hot tub and the outdoor shower, and we enjoyed using the ping pong table and the old school arcade. Wonderful hosts!
This property was very beautiful, comfortable and well-appointed for our family Thanksgiving. Many thoughtful touches made it even better, like a turkey roasting pan and baster waiting on the countertop. Everything was just perfect. Many family members said it was the best house we've ever rented. Thank you, Wright family, for many happy family memories to cherish!
Beautiful setting. The home was very relaxing with lots of seating areas to read. Loved the way the early morning sun filtered through the living room windows. The home had everything we needed to enjoy our short get away. We would reserve again when coming back to the River.

Reviewer Comments:
We had a great time at Mi Corazon! Clean, well-stocked, and had a gorgeous outdoor area to enjoy.
Everything about this rental was charming, and our tween loved having the casita to themselves for independence. We saw California quails hanging out in the little courtyard, and lots of hummingbirds. It was really nice having the dedicated off-street parking spot too. We had some plumbing issues (a major leak) in the kitchen and prop mgr was responsive and timely to address, though we were left with a mess to clean up. We'd definitely stay here again nevertheless. Quiet and relaxing.
We absolutely loved this property! The kitchen has everything you need to make great meals. The black out shades in the bedrooms are wonderful. We slept so well! Everything in the house is in perfect working order. Pac Man and ping pong were fun. Love the jacuzzi and outdoor seating area. We would 100% stay here again!
The house is adorable! We came in March for a quick getaway for my husband’s bday. We brought our 2 year old and Doodle. Although the sun was out it was a bit chilly to sit outside but the camellia tree was stunning and the yoga room was a cute addition. We only used the main house but there is an entirely separate casita where you could probably fit another small family. FYI you have to drive to downtown.

We really loved staying at Mi Corazon. The location was very peaceful. Sitting in the hot tub felt tucked away in nature, surrounded by the home's gardens and the redwoods of Russian River. Everything in the house was clean, functional and well cared for. The beds were comfy and the combo of the wall heaters and lots of bedding kept us warm on a couple cold spring evenings. We would definitely stay again! My kids are already asking if we can go back.

Family came from Los Angeles and some from the area, this house was the best I could have chosen, my 14 year old cousin was about to have her own space, teach me how bad I am at PAC Man. The spa was wonderful, my aunt enjoyed it so much. The dining room was wonderfully spaced and stocked for our thanksgiving dinner. My 3 year old son realized that yoga may be to relaxing for him. It all together was so amazing and the property management was 110% there for everything. I will totally stay again with some family!!

Reviewer Comments:
The property was so serene and peaceful. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood along the Russian River. River acces was a short walk away. We preferred just spending the day at Johnsons Beach with the kids as it was a little but safer for our kids. The kitchen was great for cooking family meals. The beds were comfortable too. We loved the outdoor space under the patio lights and spent a great deal of time in the hot tub after the cool air rolled in at night. An easy drive to the coast, Armstrong Woods and wine tasting. I would highly recommend booking this property. Just be aware that there is only 1 bathroom but a great outdoor shower available too. And there are only 2 bedrooms and a pullout sofa bed inside the main property. Bonus sleeping arrangements are in the second house across the courtyard but no bathroom in the guest house.

Amazing property! Comfortable beds wonderful house and garden. Kids loved the extra house with arcade. Really close access to river. Super comfortable. Definitely coming back to this one. five stars all the way.
We really enjoyed this rental! The house was very well stocked, the beds were comfortable, the hot tub was great, and the location was perfect for our day trips into Jenner. Such a nice yard too! Definitely would recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in this area!
Great property with everything we could have asked for. Very nice touches throughout to make the stay very hospitable and feel like those extra fees were all worth it!
A quaint, cute, well decorated property. The hot tub and yoga studio were a big bonus, and well utilized. The bedrooms were a little small (no room for suitcases) and the beds were a little hard for our taste, but overall it was a wonderful property.

It was a girls trip and we had a great time, the house was perfect and the area was sunny.
My family of 5 (3 young kids) and I stayed here for Xmas weekend and it was a great getaway. We had everything we needed, were comfortable and loved the quiet serene neighborhood setting in the woods near the river. There were a couple small things that needed improving but overall a great rental, even with a hot tub and separated guest house that my kids enjoyed. We would come back!
