About this house rental

Castle Crag is a place to relax from the bustle of cities and freeways, yet is still within a short driving distance to the finest experiences offered in California. On a protected hillside behind Jenner, this home offers incredible views of the river and the ocean. Excellent stargazing can be viewed from the upper deck (bring binoculars and/or telescope). A short walk to the ocean reveals resplendent wildlife including a seal rookery, blue herons, pelicans, seagulls, cormorants, sandpipers, ospreys, snowy egrets, hummingbirds, and many more.

This beach house offers 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The master bedroom features a Queen bed and en- suite bathroom. The second bedroom offers a Queen bed and the third offers a Queen bed. These bedrooms share a bathroom. The fourth bedroom offers 2 Twin beds, and has a shared bathroom down the hall. If needed, a double futon is in the sunroom. Two decks provide space for a barbecue and a large hot tub. The main living area on the upper floor is a spacious sunny area with connecting living room, sunroom (family room) and fully equipped kitchen. All of these rooms offer incredible views of the Russian River estuary.

Located in the quiet and quaint village of Jenner, Castle Crag is less than two hours north of San Francisco. It has magnificent views of the river valley, estuary and river's entrance to the ocean. As the village is somewhat sheltered from ocean breezes, pleasantly warm weather is the typical climate for most of the year, with occasional sea mists. For those interested in visiting wine county, this home is only a 30 minute beautiful drive along the river to the Korbel Champagne vineyards and many other world class wineries. There are excellent restaurants all along the river and the coastline between Bodega and Jenner. Swimming, surfing and sailing are 15 minutes south at Salmon Creek and Bodega (made famous in the Hitchcock movie The Birds.) Excellent hiking trails and horseback riding are only minutes away, as well as canoeing and rafting on the Russian River.

Know Before you Book:

Maximum Occupancy and Quiet Hours: The maximum occupancy at Castle Crag is 10. Quiet hours are from 10:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. Outdoor amplified sound is prohibited at any time.

Parking: On-site parking is permitted for a maximum of 4 vehicles. RVs, trailers and campers are prohibited, per the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance.

Heat Source: Central heat, fireplace (no firewood or kindling provided).

A/C: The house does not have air conditioning. Being near the coast, the night time temps drop and just opening some windows is usually enough to cool the house.

Wireless Internet: Castle Crag has a ViaSat modem with unlimited data, which allows guests to stream television on the SmartTV or their personal devices. Because this is a Satellite service, there could occasionally be service outages, or data speed slow downs, but these should only be temporary and they should be self resolving. For a long time Castle Crag was unable to provide any internet service in our rural location, so we are very pleased to offer guests this option and welcome you to use the internet during your stay.

Location: Jenner, walking distance to the Russian River, Pacific Ocean, shops and restaurants

We had a wonderful stay at castle crag. The proximity to the trails is fantastic and so beautiful. The house was spacious and comfortable and outstanding views. We were disappointed that the hot tub was not functional.

We loved this well laid out and spacious house. The views were spectacular and well worth the early rise to see the sunrise.

Sweet place to stay with an amazing view of the river and beach. Plenty of rooms and lounge areas. Enjoyed watching the pelicans riding the thermals from the deck. Only issue we had was one of the downstairs bedrooms had a bug issue, from a hole at the base of the door. Other than that, it was lovely.

Dazzling views all around, many rooms, but a bit of unique downstairs rooming layout. An incredible new deck and nice hot tub. A bit warn but a good value.

My group of friends LOVED staying at Castle Crag for a long New Year's weekend. My husband had some initial concerns after reading some other reviews here, but he wrote to Russian River Vacation Homes to ask about things like the safety of the deck, and he got a comprehensive response within a couple of hours - we were blown away by the customer service. I'm happy to say the house was clean, cozy, and perfectly safe. The hot tub and the view from the deck and sunroom are the two most awesome features here - pics don't quite give you a sense of how lovely the view over the Russian River is! The location is great too - you can walk down the hill to a convenience store/gas station and the charming Cafe Aquatica. Depending on your fitness and mobility level, you might be able to walk to beaches from here, but when a friend and I attempted it with her two dogs we wound up turning back after enjoying a beach view at one of the turnouts high up on a cliff - the narrow highway was a little too dicey for us to continue. All in all this was a fantastic stay. I'd love to return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!

The house was difficult to get in and out of because you had to use stairs everywhere, and the stairs weren’t very safe for example no railings on the initial steps to get into the house. The carpets in the house were filthy, and I felt like I had to wash everything in the kitchen before I used it. The hot tub was lukewarm so as adults could not use it. Overall it was a bad experience and I would not recommend this place.
