Wonderful cottage on the Russian River

Wonderful rustic cottage with lots of space, beautiful woodwork inside, in a wonderful setting. Waking up to the sound of birds, then strolling down to the river on a tree covered path reinforces your feeling of well being. Kitchen well equipped. Good hot shower. One warning, there are lots of steps outside which were not a problem at all for me and I am over 70years old, but could be for someone else.

Cabin on the river

My daughter, dogs and I had a great stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the property as it was beautiful, quiet, and relaxing. The neighbors are very friendly and inviting.We had a little mishap with no power and lights in the bathroom and there could have been a little more attention to detail with overall cleanliness in the kitchen and windowsills.Never the less. . . nothing that would prevent us to come again. Thank you, Michael for sharing. We got the R&R we needed for our short weekend trip.

Comfortable and Cosy

Very comfortable home with lots of space to be cosy together or to find time alone. Great outdoor areas for both sunshine and shade. Big kitchen and living room areas with plenty of light. The shower was great - hot water and strong water pressure - very appreciated! We took walks around the neighborhood and could see/hear the river from the property (as expected, no river/shore access this visit due to recent winter rains.). We would definitely visit again. Thanks to our hosts for their hospitality and easy check in/out.

Was exactly what my teen and his friends were looking for. A cottage on the river for a fun weekend. Enough privacy and peace. All accomidations were met. Its far into a country-like neighborhood on narrow road so drive carefully.

Relaxing Four Day Stay in the Winter

We had a nice quiet stay at Dee's Cottage. Thanks to Michael for his communications and providing a very comfortable get-away. Even with the rains, we love traveling up to The River during the winter. We were able to stroll the neighborhood, walk down to the beach, and take some nice scenic drives, still allowing for a good deal of down time in the four days we stayed.

Easy, peaceful getaway

We had a very nice stay at De's cabin. It's a very short drive to the cute downtown and Safeway if you need it - and there is a nearby playground for those traveling with kids. Our toddler loved the short walk to the river behind the house to scoop rocks and watch the wildlife -- we saw ducks, cranes, and even a couple of otters. We stayed over Thanksgiving so it was chilly, but once we got the fire and space heaters going, we were cozy. We all slept well. There was a surprising amount of kitchen equipment for cooking. There was a hiccup with the cleaners not coming, but the host was very kind about resolving it. Overall a great stay. We will be back!

We love the place and the neighborhood. Only bummer this year was that there weren’t kayaks in the garage to borrow (maybe they were at the beach?). Otherwise perfect!

Amazing Weekend in the Woods

Great spot for a relaxing weekend with family. The house is delightful, the views amazing and the proximity to the river/beach a great plus! The house was well stocked with all basics / cooking appliances / gadgets. There are also lots of board games and between the beach, nature walks, cooking and games, we never turned the TV on. Even the teenagers left their phones to the side. Highly recommended!

Hidden in the trees

This is a nice property hidden in the redwoods beside the Russian River. The space is nice and open, uncluttered, and homey. The home is at the end of a dead-end road, so the neighborhood is quiet on this side of the river. The host was great with arrival notes and other communications. We had issues with the proximity of the stove to the smoke alarm, there is no ventilation so bacon and toast set it off. The home is off the beaten path but across the river from River Road, so the road noise was an issue on the back deck. The master bed is small, so be sure you like who you are sleeping with!

Great stay

Friendly host, easy checkin, good location w easy access to river beach behind home. Second bedroom - you have to cross through master bedroom in and out of room and for bathroom. Spacious great room area, deck in front and back of home. All 3 ladies wished there was a long mirror when getting ready - the only mirror was on a side wall above sink in bathroom (medicine cabinet); we tried to find one to buy and leave at the home but never did. Great having a washer and dryer on the property!

Cabin was cozy/No attention to Detail

While the cabin was nice and cozy we experienced a lack of attention to detail. The keychain had obviously been chewed by a dog. We discovered upon arrival there was no toilet paper. Called the 2 numbers provided but no call was returned so we had to go to store to buy some. The laminated note sheets were both dirty. No wood for fire as stated in listing. Food in refrigerator/freezer from previous guests. The listing pictures showed a charcoal grill but there was only a small propane grill. (Now we have charcoal that we cant use) . And the beach? Not really a place to go set up your chairs and hangout because no real flat area for that. So while overall we all had a relaxing weekend, not sure if this is a cabin we would return to.

Lovely retreat in the woods and in the river

This place was tranquil, inviting, easy to figure out. The bed I stayed in was firm and comfortable. Flannel sheets were a nice touch! It’s a lovely cabin, but honestly the deck out back where you sit and just “be” with the trees was exactly what my heart & soul needed. River is very close - so pretty! I think I should have known from the photos that it was all upstairs, as in there is no ground floor entry, everything has to be schlepped upstairs. Somehow I didn’t realize that though and I’m pointing it out because I don’t see in the listing where it says it either, though again, pictures of the front kinda show it, and people who have mobility impairment - this might not be the best choice of properties. Stairs were open slots and my dog was terrified of them - so she got to learn something new haha! (That doesn’t reflect on property of course, my dog is just a weirdo). The back area down to the river is not really secure. My 56 lb shepherd mix fit through the slats (one was broken off) fortunately she was going in from the river side, not trying to escape. The back fence is deck rail height and a bigger dog or determined escape artist could get out, so don’t leave your pooches unsupervised back there. As I said, my dog is a weirdo & never wants to leave me. It was wonderful to be able to bring my dog, though, & I always feel owners are responsible for their canine friends - just a warning is all. I highly recommend this property to the right party!

Retreat at the cabin

I had a wonderful time at the cabin the woods. For over 30 years, I have stayed at Bodega and Jenner every year until now staying in Guerneville- what a treat!while it was intended for a weekend away with spouse, due to work getting in the way, I came solo and the solitude allowed me to read, write, and spend time in nature. It gave me the ability to hike in the redwoods and at the ocean in just a 25 minute drive.( Don’t miss Armstrong Redwood State Preserve)- amazing experience. Then come back to the cabin and put my paddle board in the Russian River right down my own little path. The beach was used my neighbors also renting place but wasn’t a big deal they just used to beach their kayaks. Neighbors were kinda loud first night but 2nd night once they left so quiet. My only complaint, which is one that owners don’t have control over is road noise. I didn’t spend a lot of time at beach other than to have morning coffee which was great because it is quieter in early am and at dusk. Another perk is the car port behind gate to keep car and that my dog could roam around. He obviously felt comfortable as well because didn’t bark once the whole weekend. This cabin has absolutely everything, so cozy, and I will be back for sure ! Thank you so much for sharing this awesome place!

Such a lovely birthday getaway

De's cottage was the ideal spot for our escape from the fog and as a setting for a family birthday. Tucked away but close to so much. We really appreciated the semi-private cove.
