About this house rental

Beautiful 19-acre one-of-a-kind riverfront retreat at the confluence of the Russian River and Big Creek in the Sonoma Wine Country’s Alexander Valley of northern California. Several private beaches offer fantastic world-class river swimming in clear, relatively warm comfortable water (about 9-degrees warmer than most California rivers) with a reasonably mild current, all in a wonderful natural setting teeming with wild life - - the trout fingerlings will nibble at your toes! Downstream towns like Rio Vista and Guerneville, while charming, offer less ideal river swimming conditions because they are often located in cooler redwood forests and the water isn’t as clear.

The comfortable, clean 3-bedroom (all with walk-in closets) 2 ½ bath house (sleeps 6 + 2 sleeper couch = 8) includes a 7-person hot tub/spa, TV (all cable channels), DVR, Wi-Fi, propane BBQ, decks, fire pit, fruit tree orchard and separate Horse Barn game room/beach clean-up station with pool table, darts, horseshoes and badminton, basketball hoop and an outdoor shower.

The peninsula property is located in Cloverdale, 3 minutes from downtown, only 20 minutes from enchanting Victorian Healdsburg and surrounded by 40 notable Alexander Valley vineyards including Rodney Strong, Francis Ford Coppola, Ferrari Carano, Dry Creek Vineyards, Fritz and Geyser Peak. Just 80 easy freeway miles north of San Francisco. Enjoy a perfect summer day with wine-tasting in the morning, beaches in the afternoon and fine dining and hot tub under the stars at night. In summertime, it’s fabulous swimming and hot, dry weather (limited floaties provided for guests). A great road trip includes small river towns nestled in redwood groves like Monte Rio and Forestville, then on to the Pacific where the misty rock pillars of Jenner tower majestically in the sea. Don’t miss old Fort Ross, the early 19th century Russian empire fur trading post, and magical Mendocino, the Victorian gem atop the cliffs overlooking the ocean. Sorry no pets; non-smokers only. Check out our Sunday night special for $550! Have a great trip!

SUGGESTION: Stay all day at Two Rivers as a “destination” resort: Excellent river swimming at 6 private beaches; downriver floating; hot tub; fishing (license required) and cray-fishing (no license required – Owner will lend Guest a crawdad trap upon request); game room with pool table, darts, badminton, basketball hoop, ping-pong / beer pong table, etc.; camp fire pit; property exploration over 19 acres; riverside and in-river lounging; BBQ; star-gazing under Cloverdale’s renown summer night skies; and birding -- best areas are at the confluence of 2 streams at Two Rivers Beach and also the woodpecker colony at entrance on Big Creek.

From reservation to check out everything was wonderful! Steve was. Fantastic host and made sure we had everything we needed for the house and the river. As it was an exceptional hot week he even brought us some fans. Kids love the fishing nets and catching crawlers. Adults loved the sitting and relaxing in the river and the beauty of it all! Stay here! You won’t regret it.

Tubing on the river was fun. Tubes were provided. There is a hot tub to warm yourself in after the cold of the river. We enjoyed our stay.

Two years ago, we ventured to this property with another family and had an absolute blast during the summer. So, we decided to return to celebrate my daughter's birthday. The transition from summer to spring brought a whole new perspective to our visit. We were able to gather around a massive campfire and bask in the beauty of Mother Nature as the colors changed and the grass turned lush green. Our hosts, Tova and Steve, truly made our stay unforgettable with their warmth and hospitality. Steve even treated us to a delightful bird-watching excursion, which we all thoroughly enjoyed. This hidden gem has become our go-to spot for family and friends looking for a tranquil getaway. I can't recommend it highly enough to anyone seeking a memorable retreat.

This was our second time at this property and we hope to return again in the future. If you are looking for a peaceful place to relax but still have plenty of fun things to do as a family this is it! We spent most days on the river and also enjoyed the hot tub and activities at the horse barn. The beds are so comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped for cooking. It’s clean and very well maintained. I would not change a thing about this place, we love Two Rivers!

The property was pretty much perfect for our family of five. The house was clean and the owners had thought of practically everything. Our family really enjoyed the river. Besides that, it is conveniently located to downtown Cloverdale and other activities. The caretaker, Steve, is an awesome host. Check in and out was very easy. Overall, a great spot!

I booked this house for 8 members of my family visiting for a reunion and did not stay here; I and the rest of our group stayed nearby. The family loved the venue, especially the access to the Russian River. This review is not 5 stars because the owner says she misunderstood the fact that I and my 7 family members in the nearby house wanted to spend some daytime hours enjoying the river access with the rest of our family who were staying at this house. We had travelers from as far away as Texas, and we selected our 2 vacation houses many weeks in advance. Spending time together was a top criterion. My booking specifically explained our desire to visit only during the day. The booking was confirmed. I paid the entire amount the day we booked. Later, I received the 11-page Hold Harmless Agreement, which requires initials and signatures, One provision states that the property capacity limit is 8 for the house; 2 more can visit but not overnight, subject to the discretion of the owner. I emailed the owner, reminding her of our desire for as many as 16 to be on the property during part of the visit. She cancelled our booking, saying it didn't meet our needs. She sent an email apologizing for her misunderstanding, but it arrived in the late afternoon on a Friday when we were away, and she had already started refund procedures. Very stressful, as there were no similar venues nearby. We were able to re-book, but could not gather on the property, which was a big disappointment.
