About this house rental
Outside Inn is your own personal mini-resort & play-land that sleeps 10 guests comfortably. Come enjoy a very private & magical property to share some unforgettable memories with your family and friends.
Inside and out, this modern, spacious, and recently fully remodeled home is designed for your comfort and enjoyment. Step out to a private deck, hot tub, gas grill, and an outdoor living and dining area overlooking the peaceful and large backyard and pristine redwood forest. A canopy shades half the deck if you want to read or watch the clouds slide by on a warm afternoon, or recline in one of the lounge chairs if you’d rather work on your tan. The lush backyard is a private world unto itself, surrounded by Russian River fauna yet with enough open space for a game of soccer. Walk a short trail of less than 100 yards through redwoods just a half block from the house to the huge neighborhood beach where you can spend a hot summer day swimming, lounging alongside the river, or taking the house’s kayaks on a river adventure.
Two Flats & Two Cottages
The Outside Inn is a comfortable home with two separate-entrance modern suites, each with two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen. There are also two cozy cottages on the property: one is the perfect fifth bedroom and the other is a serene studio that can be used for meditation or as a child’s play room.
Upstairs Flat
Featuring the main gathering area of the home, the fully remodeled upstairs flat has a large lounge with a media center and comfortable sofa seating, large chef’s kitchen with everything you need to prepare a gourmet meal and a huge amount of counter space, dining seating for eight, and two queen bedrooms and a bathroom. Sliding doors in one bedroom and the kitchen lead to the private deck with outdoor-dining seating for 10 or lounge areas where you can enjoy your morning coffee.
Downstairs Flat
The recently fully remodeled lower level flat features a private entrance, fully equipped kitchen perfect for creating breakfast or coffee, bathroom, family room, and one queen bedroom and one double bedroom.
Bedroom Highlights
All bedrooms feature comfortable beds with down comforters and high-quality linens and are quiet and spacious, with bedside tables, reading lamps, and ample storage space in dressers and closets.
Bathroom Highlights
Bathrooms are modern and clean with comfy towels, and a hair dryer in each.

After a day’s long adventure on the river and a perfectly grilled dinner, gather your family and friends in the lounge to enjoy movies, sports, or TV shows on the 50-inch High-Definition TV. Open your Netflix or iTunes account to watch thousands of movies and TV shows. The TV is also equipped with a DVD player, over 250 channels via Comcast, and a DVR so you can record your favorite shows while on vacation.

Our friend group loves this property, its river accessibility, the kitchen and especially the big back yard with its big table and beautiful surroundings. We were happy to see that the owner has sanded or refinished the table outside since our last visit. We enjoy playing table games and it was perfect.

We love this Russian River home near the beach! The beautiful backyard is perfect for kids, and we really appreciated all the big shade trees on the warmer days.

We loved staying at this home! The proximity to the beach was phenomenal! The kitchen was well equipped. The bedrooms were comfortable. The backyard was fantastic and well suited to family bbqs. You could easily fit two families here with room for an extra friend/couple or teenager. My kids enjoyed the foosball table and the pee wee golf joint nearby. We would love to return!

The remodeled areas are fabulous. The backyard is what I love the most. Great access to river and having kayaks there was the best. Such a great town. Hit a couple of breweries and wineries. Every place (except a few wineries) were dog friendly. Parking easy.

This is our second time in this house and 2nd time was even better bc parts have been upgraded. Main house and in-law are clean and nice. Plenty of heating sources (which we needed). We didn’t use hot tub but it looked nice and clean. Beds are comfortable. A minor suggestion would be to upgrade some of the pans and to have a working light over the countertops for cooking. Thanks again.

Place was well located, parking was easy. Cleanliness was OK, but bottom unit wasn't as clean. There were also some dishes and sheets that were dirty upon arrival. Can't get from bottom to top unit directly without going outside first. Thst isn't a real problem unless it's raining or cold (which unfortunately it was).

Good for Our Gang
The property worked for the nine of us (4 adults, 5 kids) and our dog (a Lab). Easy walk to the community beach on the Russian River and 2 kayaks were available for use. Also a nice hot tub on the property. Backyard was fenced and very private, and gave the dog a place to run around. All in all, a very good fit for our group.

Outside Inn
We enjoyed our stay at this property! Great location close to the river and not far from downtown Guernville. The house is nicely updated inside and the outside has a cabin like feel. Nicely separated up and downstairs units and loved the outside small cottage. This property has everything you need; bbq, spa, hammock, big open space in backyard with beautiful deck and plenty of seating areas. We would love to come back when the kayaks are accessible at the river May-Sept! The owner Achim was quick to respond to questions and made us feel welcomed.

Lovely home. Great space for kids downstairs. Gorgeous yard. Cozy extra cabin in backyard. Short walk to river. Short drive to redwood forest and ocean. Ideal getaway- we loved it!

Fabulous
We had a wonderful time and found the property to be ideal for our family. Everyone had plenty of space and we were able to enjoy the backyard for meals and downtime. The location right down the street from the river was amazing and we would love to go back in the summer.

Birthday wine trip
We had a great celebration for my daughters birthday and lots to do and see in the area. The house was well stocked with everthing needed for our chef to cook a birthday dinner meal. A very comfortable home. We werent able to use the cottage outside for sleeping as it was too chilly and one person slept on the couch instead. My only suggestion would be a sofa bed in case its needed. Also some plug in outdoor string lights for the back yard as the solar lights were not working. There is a beautiful lemon tree on the property. I have never tasted better lemons. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Guernville
This home is located in a quiet neighborhood about less than 2 miles from Pee Wee Golf. The home is cozy. Nice kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. The downstairs is a great area for kids or extra guests. Private. The backyard was lush and green. Nice hammock and picnic table
Location is near many wineries. Healdsburg is about 35 minutes away. Windsor about 20. Jenner is about 30 minutes
Main Street Bistro is great. Music at night and food is good. Rivers End in Jenner is more upscale with great ocean views
Enjoy!

Good updates, location, outdoor dining & yard space
My family stayed here with another family and a friend in February. Five adults, five 9-13 year olds and a dog. Kids loved the yard space and hammock and playing foosball and watching TV in the downstairs unit. Adults enjoyed the upstairs kitchen, deck/outdoor eating area, and hot tub. Super easy walk to the river and convenient to the Guerneville area. Host was very responsive.

Good times
Our party of eight found the property to be very charming. Kitchen was indeed very well equipped and we used it a lot. The separate entrance for the downstairs bedrooms lend it a bit more privacy which was nice. All in all I’m sure this property would be wonderful in the summer with some sun. It rained most of the time we were there and we still enjoyed the hot tub and had a good time touring wine country and beyond.

I spent a lovely Thanksgiving holiday with friends at Outside Inn.
We made good use of the kitchen and the hot tub. It was too cold to really enjoy the Russian River or the back yard but Healsdburg provided lots of shopping and lunch opportunities.

Wonderful location and beach
Our family had a wonderful visit. The house had many nice features, including a beautiful backyard that we enjoyed immensely. The house had lots of space for our extended family and was nicely laid out. The private beach is a short walk and we went multiple times a day. The beach had a long shallow entrance which was perfect for our young children. We especially enjoyed the kayaks included with the rental. The location is very quiet, a cute community, and close to downtown Guerneville. We would love to stay again!

Perfect Fit For Us
This is a great place for the right fit. We had two families of four, (the children were all under 6) that stayed in this place. The house is remodeled nicely and the location to the beach is great. We would come back in the summer to truly enjoy the river but the weather was nice enough for us to enjoy it some and we utilized the back yard for our entire trip. Each unit is on the smaller side even though the overall space is plentiful. The owner has done a nice job of giving you everything you'd need. The back yard might be muddy if not in the middle of summer but we were prepared for that and it didn't bother us at all. Look at the other reviews and be aware of the space constraints, (or message the owner with questions) so you know what you're renting but if you understand the property, it can be a perfect fit for the right family.

Pretty yard, comfy sleeping quarters
We had a really fun stay in the Outside Inn despite the air quality from the fires. The yard is so spacious we could play badminton and the inside was modern, clean and cozy. The lower apartment is cooler and quiet with a TV and foosball! The neighborhood had many friendly people walking their dogs and the beach is 1/2 block away and easy walk. The owner answered my questions right away and is friendly and welcoming. We hope to return!

quiet cul-de-sac
The house was amazing. had a beautiful big yard that was nice to sit in. very well equipped and close to supermarkets without being in town. my girls enjoyed wild blackberry picking in the surrounding area. Close to a private beach, where we swam and kayaked daily. My girls were obsessed with the rope swing just up from Drakes beach. Good times.

Girls trip
We came out just after the fires. I was very worried about what we were coming into, but Aichiem was reassuring and understanding. The house is laid out a little strange but it was perfect for hosting 6 girlfriends. The backyard is beautiful, just wish we could have enjoyed it more.

Great yard, divided units
Great enclosed yard for dog and two toddlers. However we could not enjoy it all because the sprinklers made the yard very wet and muddy. The house is remodeled and clean. We did not realize top and bottom floors has separate entrances (downstairs room had 2 beds but not fully enclosed bedrooms). The outside barn listed as bedroom did not have good insulation and was cold; not comfortable for sleeping. The separation worked out but wish it was described as such more clearly in the description. The deck is awesome, but the side plant attracts so many bees. We could only relax with drinks, could not eat outside because there were so many.
The private river area walking distance was nice! There is also a playground for kids a short drive away.
There were few times I had to contact the owner (turn off main water to sprinklers, turn on fireplace, locate heater, light bulbs , etc), the response was quick and helpful so my overall rating is 4.
