Beautifully decorated home! The highlight was definitely the yard space and the covered hot tub. Nothing like it while looking up at the redwoods on a rainy night. Comfortable couch and nice dining space. Bedroom is cozy and great space if you have a dog.
Fantastic house with everything we needed for a full week exploring the area. The fire pit was a perfect way to relax after a long day. The kitchen was stocked with everything we could need. Loved snuggling in and watching our favorite shows on a comfy couch with a big tv. We absolutely loved this house.

Comfortable, good amenities, small bathroom with slippery shower tub.
The Vlack Nest was perfect for our weekend getaway. Close to the river, the city, and hard everything we needed for our stay. For anyone wishing to stay, highly recommend this place and the price point was perfect for our needs. Please note that there is a closet in the bedroom, it's behind the curtain haha!
Had the pleasure of staying at this property for 3 nights with my spouse. We LOVED our time here. The house is a perfect size, cozy, and in a great location. We spent the weekend exploring the towns nearby, as well as, the Mendocino coast. We have already talked about staying here again!
My husband and I booked a two week stay here, the property was absolutely amazing! Great interior design, the exterior gardens were also elegantly put together and serene. We enjoyed the fantastic hot tub in the evenings. Plus, it's all conveniently just a mile away from everything in downtown Guerneville. Will definitely stay again!
The Black Nest was above and beyond expectation! The location was great and the house impeccably decorated and very comfortable. Definitely our first choice on our next stay!
the house was very small but was cozy and comfortable. The outdoor space was lovely, especially the hot tub. It was a bit noisy with neighbors right above and next door at times. We felt it was a bit overpriced for the size and location but we would be happy to visit again. the house was nicely appointed with thoughtful amenities for guests.
Black Nest is conveniently located and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the property. The hosts were welcoming and had a small bag of supplies for s’mores which our kids really enjoyed. Though the property is small, it’s well equipped and we had everything we needed. It’s conveniently located with easy access to downtown and the beach. Our kids specially enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor heaters that made for a fun evening activity with s’mores.

We live in San Jose and visited for the weekend. We were immediately struck with how beautiful and well appointed this rental was. Everything was decorated very nicely and we enjoyed every minute. We had a down pour of rain while there, but don't let that make you decide not to go. We enjoyed our wine and the hot tub even while it was raining because they thoughtfully covered the hot tub area with a canopy. Highly recommend staying here!

The Black Nest stay was simply amazing. The home had everything needed for our getaway. So cozy. The neighborhood was so beautiful. The environment was so peaceful. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and everything was so simple and easy to get into the home and begin our vacation. The location is amazing! The town was beautiful and friendly! 10/10 recommend staying here for a cozy weekend vacation! Thank you for everything!
The overall size of the Black Nest is perfect for a 2-person romantic getaway. Though, many would call it cozy, I feel I would say it had no wasted space. It was just enough for two adults to have a romantic weekend: not too small, not too big. 4 adults? Not so much, unless you are rarely there or are very close.
Well-appointed, with a gorgeously appointed kitchen. Everything was black and gold, and the utensils for cooking were plentiful. Enough pots and pans and mixing bowls and cutting boards for us to cook dinner and breakfast.
The bed was comfortable, with great sheets and bedding. Soft and quality. The overall bedroom was small, but again, well appointed in a minimalist sense, and it felt so vary romantic. We could lounge there for hours, and it felt luxurious and unique.
The bathroom could use a shelf or place to put your makeup bag, but overall it was cute, quality, and had great water pressure. I also like that it is at the back of the house, and away from the bedroom and main area.
The gas fire pit was nice in the evening.
Parking was across the street, and a bit limited. If you have a giant full-sized truck, you may be reaching the limit of parking in the two stalls provided.
Such a cozy oasis that provided everything we wanted and needed! Wine Country to Coast are wonderful hosts, and their thoughtful touches are evident throughout the space. Highly recommend!

Good location, cute cottage, clean with necessary items. Bathtub shower was slippery.
Beautifully decorated, perfect location to downtown Guerneville. The hot tub was a nice bonus. My best friend and I stayed here for a Bestie getaway weekend and we didn’t want to leave! Great place for two friends or a couple.
Having stayed at many a short term rental, there are three simple yet crucial things that make a stay go from good to great: clean digs, comfortable beds, and quality linens. The Black Nest has all of these things and much more. The location is serene, the amenities are quality (hot tub & fire pits especially), and there’s plenty to do in and around the area. We had a wonderful stay for our mini honeymoon in Sonoma County. Choose the Black Nest for your next Russian River getaway - I know we will!
