About this house rental



Welcome to 'RiverWest', a little piece of 'Paradise' on the Russian River. At our place you will discover the true meaning of “on the river” with what may be the best combination of panoramic views and easy access to the Russian River. This truly is an idyllic setting! And our reviews reflect that fact. Perfect for a romantic getaway, or vacation for the whole family.

Our Location:

In the redwoods, above the wide, lazy curve of water, with the tree-lined ridges fading to the west, our vacation home offers a tranquil and private setting for relaxation and that 'getaway feeling.' The north and west walls are almost entirely glass, which creates a light and open atmosphere, giving you a sense of freedom and flight as you gaze at the the osprey, gull, and heron. Through every moment of your day you’re surrounded by this expansive view of the river and mountains that few other places have. And, when looking is not enough, step down the stairs to the riverbank to use the four single kayaks, or row boat (in season) to enjoy the wild, scenic lower river from Duncans Mills to the ocean.

The home is located about a 3/4 mile from Duncans Mills, a quaint little town with coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping for art and collectables. "Gold Coast" the coffeeshop with daily fresh baked pastries, as well as Cape Fear and The Blue Heron restaurants offer full dining. The ocean, and all the great Sonoma Coast Beaches are about seven miles west. On hot summer days, when the rest of California is 100 degrees or more, the soothing ocean breeze cools our place into the 70-80's.

Our Home:

The two-story home is nested on the side of a hill overlooking the river. The top floor is 950 sq. ft. with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, living room and kitchen. One bedroom has a queen bed and a beautiful view of the river and mountain, and has its own 8X16 foot deck. The view is like being on the bow of a ship at sea. The second bedroom has a bunk bed for the kids and also has double doors leading to its sunny morning deck. The bathroom has a Kohler corner shower with curved glass enclosure and a sink from France. The living/dining room is open an airy with large picture windows and doors to the deck. The remodeled kitchen has stainless steel and black granite countertops with new appliances. The 1st floor studio offers 650 sq. ft. with a bedroom, bathroom, and combined living, dining, and kitchen area. There is a comfy queen bed in the spacious bedroom that also has a 8X16 foot deck with bistro table and chairs outside the French doors. The beautifully tiled bathroom has a separate tub and shower. The kitchen has is equipped with the basic utensils and dishes for preparing your meals.

Together, both floors offer 1600 sq. ft. of living space with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and two kitchens! The house will sleep 6. The lower flat is private. The floors are accessible by two sets of stairs on the outside of the house. There is no stairs inside the building from floor to floor. There are numerous decks and two terraces with patio seating. This makes a perfect setup for vacationing with Mom and Dad, extended families, or friends.
Encircling the home on two levels is 700 sq. ft. of barefoot-friendly Trex decking with bistro table and chairs. Another terrace has a Weber 3 burner gas grill and more patio seating, and a fire kettle. All decking, stairs, and patio areas have railing or fencing to safeguard young children.

THE IMPORTANT HOUSE RULES BEFORE BOOKING :

BRING YOUR OWN BATH TOWELS. Bath mats and kitchen towels are provided.

THERE IS NO SMOKING IN THE HOME.

PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED.

6 PERSON LIMIT (ANYONE OVER 2 YRS. OF AGE) ON THE PROPERTY AT ALL TIMES. No other guests are allowed to visit during the day or night, no exceptions.

Grounds:

Beyond the decks, we have upper and lower terrace areas surrounded by the natural riparian forest - massive redwoods, maple, river willow and buckeye trees, with ferns, and sorrel beneath. We leave the vegetation in its natural state to support the redwood's ecosystem and the great variety of animal life that abounds in the area. We have no neighbors downstream; we look into the river forest as it continues to the west. Upstream, are two undeveloped lots filled with forest; so, we have great privacy and seclusion. There are masonry steps and gravel at the bank making it easier to get in and out of the water with the kayaks for young and old. Kayaks are available in summer and most likely in spring and fall, but not during winter due to high water and fast currents. With any question about conditions I determine the availability of the water craft.


Rental Options:

There is a 2 night minimum (3 nights on holidays) on all rentals.

Security Deposit - $500
Cleaning Fee - $180

This property was such a lovely spot on the river. We wanted a getaway from the city and be in nature. There are so many beautiful birds that constantly fly by the windows or land on the banks below the house. You could never leave the home and have a great time watching from the deck or big windows. You really feel transported somewhere else. The beds were comfortable and the home remained a nice temperature since it was surrounded by trees that kept it shaded on many sides. Cameron was very quick to respond to any question I had, which was much appreciated. The only thing I might need improvement was the downstairs living space that had a musty smell that needed ventilating a bit when we arrived. But overall we would recommend this place to others and stay again ourselves.

The views from all the windows are astounding. We had such a relaxing time kayaking, swimming, and playing card games. The house is very clean and close to town. It feels very private and there is no one close by. We had a really great time here and will definitely return.

This is an amazing property! It is the perfect house on the river for a group of friends or two families. Kitchens are stocked, plenty of refrigerator space. The beds are comfortable. Super clean. The access to the river is incredible. The boat and kayaks were lovely! Cameron communicated clearly and quickly. We celebrated our 50 year birthdays here. It was so sad to leave because it was amazing. Highly recommend and will book again!

The most idyllic setting with fantastic split-level accommodation which exceeded out expectations. You're immersed in the riverside experience and wildlife-watching (seal, otters, herons, osprey, deer, etc).
