Inside, the open-concept great room is filled with natural light from eight skylights and features beautiful wooden beams overhead. A cozy wood-burning fireplace anchors the living area, ideal for cool evenings. A spacious dining area and fully equipped kitchen provide the perfect setup for meals and time together.

Up to six guests can sleep comfortably across three inviting bedrooms. The primary suite features a king-size bed, loveseat sofa, private TV, and ensuite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms offer queen beds with adjustable bases and built-in massagers. Each room includes room-darkening shades, fresh linens, and calming décor to ensure restful nights.

Other things to note
HOT TUB: Please DO NOT get directly in the hot tub after coming from the river. Algae will almost certainly get in the water from your hair and clothing and the hot tub will have to be emptied and cleaned. We ask you to please shower and wear a clean swimsuit in the hot tub.
DRIVE SAFELY: Please keep your speed to 10 MPH or less when driving up or down the gravel road. There are some cliffs along the way, so take your time and drive cautiously.
TRAVEL INSURANCE: We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment. If you select the "Non-refundable" option, please note that this policy will be strictly enforced. However, if you need to cancel your reservation, we will offer a refund only if the property is successfully rebooked.
TICKS: Important Note About Local Wildlife:
While our property offers beautiful, natural surroundings, we want to inform guests that ticks are present in the area, especially in wooded or grassy areas. To ensure your safety, we recommend wearing long sleeves and pants when hiking or walking through the woods. We also suggest checking yourself and pets for ticks after outdoor activities.
For your peace of mind, we take extra precautions to minimize ticks around the property, but it's always a good idea to be aware of your surroundings and take preventive measures when enjoying nature.
Please note that guests are responsible for taking necessary precautions against ticks during their stay.
FLIES: While we do our best to keep the house fly-free, many flies may still find their way inside. We're unsure of the source but apologize in advance if you happen to notice any during your stay.
WILDLIFE AWARENESS: This property is surrounded by incredible wildlife, including raccoons, squirrels, jackrabbits, coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, deer, skunks, foxes, golden eagles, red-tailed hawks, spotted owls, and more. The Russian River watershed is home to many species, including some that are endangered or of concern.
To help protect these animals and the ecosystem:
- Avoid feeding or touching wildlife.
- Keep a respectful distance.
- Store food and scented items securely to prevent animals from being attracted to the house or property. Meaning, don't leave anything out on the porches/decks.
- Enjoy the natural beauty and serenity, but please be mindful of your surroundings for everyone’s safety—including the wildlife!
