EARLY CHECK-IN / LATE CHECK-OUT * Until further notice, early check-in / late checkout not available due to cleaning requirements.
Early check-in and/or late check-out may be available depending on my cleaner's schedule. If available, I generally charge a fee equal to about 4.2% of your nightly rate per hour (basically 1/24 of your nightly rate.) So if you want 2 hours early check-in and you paid $500 per night, the fee would be $42. Please let me know asap if you are requesting early check-in or late check-out so I can check with the cleaners. I charge this fee because I usually pay the cleaners more for the tight cleaning window and because it is extra work for me to coordinate it with cleaners, etc.
PETS:
Pet fee is $35 per night per pet and $200 per week per pet. You are required to notify me if you are bringing a pet and/or select the pet option when booking to have the fee added automatically. (I can adjust the fee before or after booking for week+ rentals.)
CLEANING *We are following all recommended cleaning requirements for vacation rentals to prevent virus transmission. This includes: disinfecting of all high touch surfaces, providing a minimum time between guests, masks and gloves worn by cleaning staff and laundering linens per recommendations.
CLEANING FEE:
My cleaning fee includes the maintenance of the hot tub, which is serviced frequently and drained/cleaned/refilled regularly. The cleaning fee also includes the normal cleaning and the special recommendations/protocol for Covid-19.
RIVER LEVELS: Summer dams are installed from mid-June to mid-Sept. When the dams are in, the river level rises and covers the grey rocky beach seen in some of our photos. During the summer dams, we have a gangway down to our floating dock. In FALL, WINTER and SPRING, there is a huge grey rocky "beach" which is lovely for a walk along the river and the river has a slight current. Kayaking and boating is available usually March through November, depending on rainy season. We bring our kayaks and paddleboards up to store during the winter rainy season and take them back down in March usually. When the summer dams are not up, you have to carry the kayaks or paddleboards across the grey rocky beach to the edge of the river.

Great river access . Property very clean inside and we stocked

We had the idea of a lazy summer river hang and this house was it. Right on the Russian River. Kayaks for your personal use...tons of places to spread out both inside and out... can't wait to come back to the Russian River...

A beautiful home overlooking the Russian River that is quiet and relaxing. We loved our stay.
5.0 / 5.0
We loved our stay at the Riverfront! We were looking for a relaxing place to stay during the long holiday weekend and this place checked all the boxes! The location from downtown is great and easy to go explore or catch a dinner reservation. We loved how the house was right on the river and equipped with plenty of kayaks to enjoy the water for the whole crew. Hot tub was great for the evening and kids loved it! Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home!

Great location and loved the fenced in yard for the dog. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Loved the fireplace. Unfortunately, it rained most of the time so we didn’t get to enjoy the decks and riverside seating but the rain made for a cozy experience. A short jaunt to Goat Rock Beach and the redwood forest. The only disappointment was no cable for the TV which limited local channels. We would definitely revisit this property but maybe in the summer when we can enjoy River activities.

This was the perfect house for us. Living space with a remodeled kitchen open to the living space was great. Beautiful area right on the river.

We loved our stay in this cozy place by the Russian River. The new kitchen had all we needed to prepare many of our own meals, and the beds were comfy. We thoroughly enjoyed lounging down by the river for our first cup of morning coffee and evening drinks. Thanks for hosting a memorable visit with our adult kids whom we rarely get to see together!

Few things beat a house on a river bank with a dock and boats ready to go.

For a last minute trip to the Russian River I found this property had vacancy for 2 nights during the week. I thought the listing was well organized with information. Jaysa the owner was easy to communicate with and made the booking very easy.
The house itself sits riverside and is as advertised. The nice thing about this house is that it’s not just a rental, but clearly used by the owners - so it’s in much better shape than other properties we have rented in past years.
You can tell a lot about a homes cleanliness by looking at the bottom of your feet after walking around the interior. In nearly 100 percent of rentals the bottoms of feet are black with dirt. Not here! This property is properly cleaned.
It is furnished comfortably and attractively. The kitchen is well stocked with ample utensils, appliances, etc. Although I brought my own sugar and spices etc - it was nice seeing that the pantry contained ample amounts of those items.
There were plenty of towels and plenty of toilet paper (have stayed at many places recently where they give you one roll!)
The outdoor areas are well kept. The deck by the river is very nice. We enjoyed using the kayaks, stand up paddle boards and the pedal boat.
I highly recommend this house. I think it’s an excellent value, incredibly clean and well managed by the owners.
5.0 / 5.0
We spent a lovely three nights on the Russian River. The cabin was clean, well maintained, and well equipped. The house is comfortable and the outdoor spaces are inviting. The house is next to the river with well maintained watercraft to enjoy. The kitchen has everything you would want for cooking, and there is a gas grill on the deck. Guerneville and Armstrong Redwoods Preserve are minutes away by car. We hope to return!

We love this property. It suits us perfectly. We're best friends / family who come to enjoy the serene beauty of the river. We play games, laugh, and have old fashioned fun telling stories from the past & enjoying each others company. Thank you! It's been 4 years so far and look forward to many more. We appreciate your property to relax and live life to the fullest.

Great rental in a great location!
This is a great rental with a nicely renovated interior, fenced yard, and direct access to the river with lots of water toys. The house was comfortable and clean, with a nice deck with views of the river, and a great location. There were a few issues with the rental including a few kayaks with cracks that were not usable, though the owners did offer a partial refund and quickly ordered new kayaks, and a dishwasher that left the dishes with brown stains. Communication with the owner was a bit slow at times, but she was easy to deal with and very graciously let us stay later on checkout day.

Russian River
Excellent location right on the river. 5min drive to downtown Guerneville. Great yard for kids and dogs. House has everything you need kayaks, paddle board, life vest, and lots of towels. Kitchen is well stocked for those who love to cook like we do. Host was great at providing all the information needed for our stay. Would definitely rent again.

Lovely comfortable home, centrally located.
We were in Guernville during the storms and got to watch the river rise in warm, lovely surroundings. Very close to tow, great river vies and access. Clean well appointed kitchen. Overall, wonderful.

Everything I wished for and more
Will I be returning to this property next year? Absolutely!
I was happy for the entire duration of my trip! The surrounding views were beautiful. I felt so relaxed and truly blessed. Communication with the owner was easy, the house was very clean, and my daughter was so in love with the house that she asked me if we could stay forever.

Cozy cabin, great views
We stayed here for a week and really enjoyed the house. The kitchen is dialed, they have every gadget you can think of, even a food processor and blender. The BBQ grill is awesome. The view from the deck is really peaceful and private. The only thing I didn’t love is the house gets very little sun. Perfect house for your doggie. We went in late September when they removed the dams so the water level was just a couple of inches and few feet in some areas. Nice neighborhood!

The perfect getaway!
I rent a house on the river every year and this house is our favorite! We especially love the big deck by the river and the peddle boat, so fun! The house was so cozy, I loved cooking in the nicely remodeled kitchen enjoying the river views. Such a fun getaway!

Blissful stay on the Russian River
This property was so excellent for our extended family and a pet! we loved kayaking on the Russian River, and the zen-like peace of the redwood forest in the area. The home exceeded our expectations in so many ways….it was very thoughtfully provisioned, and convenient to town.

Russian River Revisit
We are happy that we chose this location for vacation.
The seasonal dams are in, and plenty of river sport equipment at this home.
The house is fully equipped cooking and entertainment.
A large balcony overlooking the river.
The nights are cool, with very few insects.
The hot tub was clean and well maintained.
I gave it 5 stars all the way!

Riverside Retreat
Beautiful kitchen, lovely family area... but the best thing of all is the view through the windows of the lovely Russian River. Bedrooms are fine, bathrooms ok, not upgraded but still very cozy after adventuring. The hot tub is perfect, gorgeous Redwood Trees towering. Grateful for our visit.

Great, peaceful stay
This is a great place for adults and kids. Amazing access for the river, outfitted for floating and paddling, and a great kitchen. There were so many outdoor and indoor spaces it was easy for everyone to take space and be together. Plenty of room for our toddler to make a mess with toys (and lots were provided at the house). Even black out curtains in two of the bedrooms, which helped with my daughter’s sleeping. All of this nestled in the redwoods! Thanks, Jaysa!

Wonderful family riverfront home
We had such a great week at this home. The inside of the home is comfortable and the outside is wonderful! It has a nice big yard that my kids and dog loved. The riverfront deck was also great to hang out in. Thank you!

Amazing riverfront home!
We had a great time at this house, which was beautiful in every way. The house itself was immaculate and has a beautiful, open floor plan. There is a deck for meals outside, a hot tub for some warm soaks, and plenty of Kayaks, stand up paddle boards, and tubes for use on the river. The private dock is just steps down the front yard and there is also a lovely deck just above it where we had drinks and snacks in the evenings. It's perfect for adults or families. We absolutely loved our stay here and hope to return many times!

Incredible house / experience!!
I couldn't recommend this property more strongly. It is stunning, with a massive deck overlooking the river, beautiful super hot jacuzzi, seconds long walk down to the beach and river, and minutes away from G'ville center (and yet completely secluded).
Jaysa is an examplary super-host., who made everything unbelievably easy, was flexible and kind. Our stay with cut short by less than 24 hours because of the Kincade fires up north and a voluntary evacuation. Jaysa somehow took this as her own shortcoming, though obviously wildfires are not Jaysa's fault, and refunded us for the final night (I wasn't even going to ask), as well as for some taxes on the property, effectively losing money due to an event that in no way reflected on her. Totally ethical, decent and - if anything - underselling this stunning, bucolic home. I hope to return and stay there again with my wife and kids on many occasions in future. Hard to forget such a stunning place, rich with amenities, lovely neighbors - that completely exceeded our expectations.

Beautiful and relaxing
Great place to spend time away. Right on the river, very lovely views and a short hike down to the water right from the property. The kitchen is very well stocked (there is even a burr grinder for coffee!) and there are plenty of games, books, DVDs and other indoor activities for inclement weather. It's easy to warm up the place when it was cold and cool it down when it's hot. It's a short drive into town to grab any necessities. It's definitely a great place for families; our dog loved running down to the water and checking out the ducks. It's not super private or secluded as it is right on the river and across from other houses, but it was still quiet a peaceful and relaxing place to spend a few days.
The owner was really excellent, communicating well with us before we arrived and while we were there.

Lovely spot on the River
The house was just as advertised: everything worked well, the kitchen was well stocked, the place was spotlessly clean, and four adult males who each needed a separate and comfortable bed were accommodated.
Jaysa, the owner, was helpful and prompt in replying to any queries we had.
We really enjoyed our stay here.

Hidden Gem
Our family had a wonderful time here. The Kitchen is one of the nicest ones I've seen, and the heated tile in the bathroom made showers and kids bath time during chilly days a pleasure. The host (Jaysa) is extremely quick to respond to any and all questions/concerns. I wouldn't hesitate about booking again and actually likely will do so during the summer months to enjoy the private river access.

Very relaxing
Best kitchen I’ve rented so far. Fully stocked. The place was clean and comfortable with great views of the Russian River. Most important I felt comfortable leaving my dog behind. The yard is fully fenced. The owner Jaysa responded quickly answering any questions we had. It was a wonderful experience. We will be back

Perfect for relaxing
My husband and I had a fantastic time celebrating our anniversary at the Riverfront Retreat! We especially enjoyed cooking in the well equipped, light and bright remodeled kitchen. Lots of room and counter space for food prep. We also spent time relaxing on the deck with the river view, either for morning tea or evening happy hour. We saw a large egret fly over the river - very cool. Our dog was welcomed and loved wading in the river each day. He’s really not much of a water dog but he wanted to be at the river all the time. It was easy with river access and a private gate. We checked out Armstrong Redwoods State Park and were amazed at the TALL trees and also how peaceful and quiet it was in the park. We were there on a Tuesday in the Fall so very view visitors. The cozy living room with gas fireplace and nice TV were much appreciated for watching sports. Thank you Jaysa for your hospitality!
