About this house rental

Whether you're new to the Russian River or stayed here a hundred times, you will love Racer Five and its modern, yet comfortable, décor and vibe!

Delightful new construction and a complete remodel (2014/15) resulted in a home for friends and family to getaway to wine country, play at the river and enjoy each other's company. Racer Five is a very tall three story home with the open gourmet kitchen, living and dining rooms, one bedroom and full bathroom on the upper level. A large deck houses the propane BBQ and outdoor seating for everyone. On the back of the house, facing a small creek, is a smaller deck with café seating for your morning coffee or afternoon glass of wine and a book.

A custom made spiral staircase allows guest to travel between the upper and middle levels without stepping outside, but there are exterior stairs as well and a second large deck on the middle level with additional outdoor seating. The remaining four bedrooms, full bathroom and laundry room are on the middle level. The bathroom is off the hallway so there's no need to cut through a bedroom. There's plenty of room to spread out in the house or outside!

A few words about cooking at Racer Five - it's an amazing experience! And building this gourmet kitchen was a labor of love. There are new stainless steel appliances and a professional grade Thermador range with 8 burners, double oven and barbecue/griddle on top. Top notch accessories throughout the kitchen and exceptionally good lighting make this the perfect place to make and share a meal with your best buddies and family.

Kids, well-behaved dogs and adventurous chefs will love the fully fenced yard as well! With a third of an acre of majestic redwoods and new landscaping including a separately fenced veggie garden, you can't go wrong. Pick veggies and herbs to cook with during your stay. A tree fort and hammock will keep the kids occupied while adults fire up the outdoor wood fired pizza oven. There's ample seating by the outdoor grill and adjacent fire pit - don't forget the marshmallows!

Everything you need is within walking distance! Across the historic walking bridge you'll find oodles of restaurants and cute shops (less than half a mile), Johnson's Beach (0.6 mile) with the best river access and sandy beach, and Riverkeeper Park (0.4 mile) featuring native plants and habitat with educational markers. On the south side of the river (same side as the house) you can walk to the Guerneville River Park (.3 mile), Pee Wee Golf (0.2 mile), and a kid's playground (0.3 mile) with tennis and basketball courts.

Light sleepers, folks with kids and dogs should be aware the neighbor has a boisterous group of dogs. They will announce your arrival at the house and other, especially unfamiliar, noises.

The location was top-tier and the accomodations were very nice. Only two issues were that the wifi was spotty and the dogs who lived next door barked non-stop all night and morning. We would stay here again.

We had a wonderful time with our medium-size group. You cannot beat the location so easy to walk into town. Just to note, it’s off a lightly trafficked street and across from an RV park but given the house is four stories high you do feel away from it.

Home was beautiful, had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and location was perfect. Easy drive to the vineyards and walk to the town for dinner. Thanks for everything!

We love this property. It is the second time we have stayed at this property and have enjoyed our stay. This property is in a great location within walking distance to just about everything. Just a stone’s throw from restaurants, bars, wine tasting, mini golf, river, Johnson’s beach, kayaking, etc. 30 minutes by car to the gorgeous Sonoma Coast and 20 mins to historic Duncan Mills or The Wildflower Bakery in Freestone. The house has most everything you could need including a gourmet kitchen with and amazingly large island to gather around, several decks, fire pits, tree house, garden, fantastic gas grill, outdoor tables for eating on the deck, huge wraparound sofa, and majestic redwoods right in the completely fenced yard. We LOVE this pet friendly home. We had lots of family fun and so happy to make memories with our loved ones roasting s’mores and having a ping pong tournament and just chasing the dog in the yard. The property is well kept, clean, and spacious. It is an absolute gem.

The Racer Five was an excellent lace to stay. Lots of room. Great sights from the windows. “Extras” on the property were great. (Tree house, Hammock, Pizza Oven, Fire Pit and garden. Be aware, there are four flights of stairs to get into the home totaling 50 stairs. There are only two bathrooms for five bedrooms. Although all the extras outside and inside far outweigh these two things.

We enjoyed the nearby river beaches, and the easy walk to town, and the wonderful fire pit with a circle of chairs in the evenings. If you want to tube downriver, your best bet is to rent a real innertube, rather than purchase a cheap one. If you're just playing at the beach, the toy tube from one of the stores in town is fine. Sweet town.
