The place is laid out very nicely to accommodate two families, the kitchen is big and well-equipped, and the grounds are beautiful. The location right on the river is superb. The kids loved the rope swing on the opposite shore and everyone enjoyed the various watercraft. The only issue we had was that the beds could be made more comfortable with an upgrade of at least new mattress protectors (they are lumpy) and a variety of pillows (we needed thinner ones). We are hoping to come back and can definitely recommend this place for a summer getaway. ##### Andrea C. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda B.

The house is fully equiped with everything you need for indoor and outdoor activities. Beautiful deck that looks out at the river below. Access to the river is not easy for people with infants or anyone with any physical limitations. That being said we had a great time on the river. The house needs some loving care. The owner, Stephen, is very responsive and personable. All in all everyone in our group enjoyed their stay. ##### Linda B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Melanie C.

Beach access and privacy were highlights for sure. I also appreciated how many bathrooms there are- no waiting! The kitchen is very well stocked. A few things that need work: when we arrived at checkin time, the house was still being cleaned. It wasn’t that big of a deal; we just walked down to the river but I think our presence rushed the cleaning staff. The bed my husband and I used did have a sandy feel. I know it is probably tough to get rid of it all, but that was a bit uncomfortable. The ice maker was visibly dirty. The kayaks and canoes were very fun but were not in 100% working order with missing seats/straps for seating. I would suggest getting rid of the small table in the kitchen and replacing it with pantry storage. We didn’t have a lot of room to put our purchased food that didn’t go in the refrigerator. There were a few ants here and there as well. Overall, this is an excellent property, beautiful grounds, and a spacious vacation spot I would recommend. ##### Melanie C.

He made certain that our repeat stay was delightful! ##### AMT J. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### K R. Aug 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We spent 3 days on the property. The location is excellent with easy access to the river for both people and 2 dogs. We spent a lot of time on the river swimming and kayaking. The property has large bedrooms and is clean. Please note that the property has a lot of miles on it. Many things need maintenance such a leaky toilets, ceiling fan that doesn't work, kitchen appliances in need of replacement, and beat up outdoor furniture. The location is great for time on the river so you'll have to weigh out what really matters to you. ##### K R.

Kitchen extremely organized and complete with all items needed to prepare our Thanksgiving feast. Steve had cleared the property of rain debris and managed to coax the sun into a full glorious display. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorie M. Jul 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Everything a family could want is here. The house has plenty of room for family of eight. Kitchen is equipped with so many cooking and baking items. Lots of spices, pots and pans. Also inside the fridge are many bottled sauces, and jelly. Beds are comfyThe outside of the house has many flowers and flowering vines. Tall redwoods too. There are two decks to sit on or eat on the tables which you can enjoy and watch the Russian River go by The’re canoes and other floatable provided. A big area of grass Also a pool table inside, many games. And an older Atari game machine. Host is very responsive to questions This I believe is our third time here ##### Lorie M.

This place is so welcoming and fun. We loved the river access with a rope swing right across the river. The home is spacious and fun, and the outdoor areas are wonderful. Stephen was so helpful with everything. The house is full of local history and quirky in a good way! It's a wonderful place for a peaceful retreat or a fun silly weekend. We did both in the same week, with friends and family rotating through for visits on the lawn and dinners on the porch. ##### Sophie H.
