Riverfront Cottage in Wine Country - Seasonal River Access - Dogs Stay for Free!

Jujube has been a much loved vacation rental for almost 20 years.

Recently remodeled, Jujube has a brand new kitchen with high end stainless appliances, an updated bathroom with a marble top double sink vanity and a glass walk in shower.

Other updates inside and out: new larger flat screen televisions in the living room and bedroom, lots of new furniture, a new high efficiency convection wall heater, soft goods (curtains, bedding, towels and more), a new river view hot tub deck with seating area and two new kayaks.

Most recently we have added a private outdoor shower.

We are dog lovers, and the property is super dog friendly. Unlike most vacation rentals, we do not charge a pet fee. We've been able to continue that policy for almost ten years now because our guests have consistently been very responsible dog parents!

______________________________________________

Jujube is a stylish, light and airy one bedroom for two people only.

She is a thoughtfully remodeled and updated vintage cottage on the banks of the Russian River with river access (typically safe May to October) from the yard and down a metal staircase to the seasonal dock. River access is seasonal and never guaranteed.

______________________________________________

It is important to note that the Russian River is not safe for swimming or kayaking from November to April. The river level fluctuates constantly depending upon rain amounts, and the currents can be extremely dangerous.

______________________________________________

After parking in your dedicated off street parking space, you enter the property through a private garden and head down the right side of the house to the sunny riverfront deck, where you will find your outdoor seating area and wood-burning chiminea fireplace, gas grill, hot tub deck, lawn and river access with two kayaks.

There are no houses across the water from you, so it’s just the river and redwoods. Cocktails on the deck, a soak in the hot tub, swimming or kayaking in the river, or just enjoy the sun and scenery.

Entry to the house is via keyless entry code through the central pair of three French doors that open to the deck. Once inside, you will find a spacious one bedroom cottage with river views from the living room, dining room, bedroom and bathroom and a garden view from the kitchen.

Read a book, watch a movie on the large flat screen television or just relax in the living room in front of the wood burning fireplace, in the leather lounge chair or in the vintage rocking chair.

The open kitchen is well-equipped for your stay, ready for morning coffee and toast on the deck or a gourmet meal for two at the river view dining table.

The sun sets over the river and redwoods you see from the comfy, cozy bedroom. There’s plenty of storage, extra blankets and pillows, and another flat screen television.

Off the bedroom is the bath, with a marble double vanity, walk in glass door shower, extra towels and a separate exit to the deck.

Back outside where most guests begin and end their days at Jujube, the river changes hour by hour and season by season, from placid mornings to sunny afternoons to starry nights, which tend to be cool year round.

Light a fire, enjoy a glass of local Pinot. And welcome to Jujube.

______________________________________________

Your total booking cost will include the nightly rate, a cleaning fee, occupancy tax (same rate as a hotel room) and a refundable security deposit. VRBO now also may charge a service fee.

Great Property on the River
Property is cozy, private, and on the river. Everything met our expectations, and the location is a great jumping off point for the area. Bridgette was attentive at check in and throughout. Hot tub and dog friendly are a huge plus!

Monte Rio- Jujube
Great stay, all the amenities were available. We enjoyed the quiet of the property and the local beach area where we brought our dogs. We would try and go later in the year so that we could take advantage of the river access right from the property as we arrived in April too early for direct river access ( no kayaking this time) we enjoyed the great water pressure in the shower and hot tub under the stars.

Peaceful place near Russian River
Me and my partner enjoyed our stay over there. Bridgette was very responsive for our questions and the house included all the amenities for a joyful stay. Mindful design of the house and beauty of the nature over there are the things we enjoyed most.

The house was absolutely what we had hoped and we loved every bit of it. By far the cleanest hot tub we have ever enjoyed in a short term rental. The kitchen was well stocked and left me wanting for nothing. The bed was very comfortable and the views and privacy indoors and out were outstanding.
