This place is fantastic! We stayed a weekend with 3 couples and 3 kids. The house is so beautiful and well appointed. Hot tub was clean. Beds were comfy. So easy to walk into Duncans Mills for a glass of wine. We will certainly return for a getaway weekend with friends. Thank you Karen!

The Duncan House could not have been more perfect for our family. The location is great, and is just a short walk to the cute village of Duncans Mills. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need (and about 6 ways to make coffee!). The beds are extremely comfortable and the bathrooms are roomy. We enjoyed the outdoors and spent most of our time on the deck. In fact, we ended up just staying at the house most of the time rather than venturing out. An added plus was hearing the great music being played at the rodeo grounds.

This is a truly exceptional, historic place to stay. Each room is special with art and antiques. The grounds and views are stunning. Extremely well stocked kitchen with all the items you need for making home cooked meals. Can't recommend highly enough.

Great interiors, historic layout, beautiful scene.

We will definitely stay here again. Really great location and a lovely place with a well equipped kitchen.

Beautiful Historic Inn. We had a great time.

I booked this so we (2 adults, a 21 year old, and 14) could get near the coast - even in the winter- from living near Sacramento. We could bring our dog which was important to us. Plenty of bedroom and sitting space, good kitchen , hot tub and a lot of character made this a great place. Yes , as other reviews state, Internet is weak, so not a heavy work from home, or stream place or a place to watch live TV- it won’t happen. If you need that , don't book here. House floors are cold so bring house slippers. Rooms have good hvac systems. It’s over 150 years old and better than many places 30 years old. Upper master is quant and great with many amenities. if your under 5’10, you will love it. I am 6’4” so I struggled in bathroom and hit my head a few times walking around. I like having a bathroom suite so I chose that over headroom :). Town is nice. Great little country store. Went to goat beach which was amazing. We will return.

Historic home with plenty of indoor and outdoor space near a quaint town. Enjoyed the place

We loved everything about out 3-night stay in this lovely, historic Duncans Mills home! We hiked, we kayaked, we explored the Russian River roadways, and the charming shopping village. This 1880's home was the perfect spot for our two families (with teen boys): wi-fi worked great, kitchen was beyond well-appointed, and the parlor room was perfect for playing card games in front of a fire. We'll be back!

Stayed here with friends, their children and a set of dogs...it was perfect. Quiet house, lots of land and set back from the street. We all had places to be alone and also enjoyed the welcoming communal areas, especially the kitchen. Highly recommend!

We’ve stayed here two years in a row and hope to come back again and again. The owner, Karen, is very friendly and helpful, and the house itself is uniquely beautiful and had everything we needed for our week long stay. Within walking distance to the shops and restaurants of duncan mills and just a few minutes from jenner, occidental, northwood golf course, the river… our family loves this place.

We had a weekend away with girlfriends in Duncans Mills - the house was perfect. Everything about it felt inviting, the hot tub was a nice touch for the afternoon, the kitchen was well stocked, the location was secluded and yet close to things. Loved waking up to the sound of cows!

Incredibly charming house. Meticulously decorated in an antique style, well stocked kitchen (eg hand beater for baking, good knives, baking sheets, etc), beautiful bedrooms & bathrooms, good seating area for conversation & games. It’s a <5 min walk to the adorable, tiny town of Duncan Mills. Do bring warm clothes — the house is very chilly at night! Really lovely stay!

The home was lovely, it was everything that was described. The location of the home to the beach was perfect. It was lovely to walk to the store locations and restaurants, we had so much fun enjoying what they had to offer. I would highly recommend this home if you want to shut down and disconnect and reconnect with yourself, your family or friends. It was so nice to shut off the phones, iPads and computers. Play games, just sit around and talk and enjoy each other's company. Highly recommend!

My friends and I had such a wonderful stay at the Inn. There were 7 of us total and we were very comfortable in the spacious and gorgeous home. We loved the unique and vintage design of the home. From the hot-tub to the piano, we enjoyed all the amenities. The inn is walking distance to a restaurant, bar and a few other fun businesses. We spent Saturday a short drive away on the river in Guerneville. We stayed in Saturday night because the house was so fun we didn't want to leave!

Historic house with charm Perfect for friends to cook hike and visit

The home is charming, well-appointed and well equipped for a several days stay. We were very disappointed by the fact there was no cell phone coverage at the property, and the wi-fi at the home was virtually nonexistent. There was a tv at the house however it could only be used by streaming. Because of the poor internet quality, it might as well of been absent as an amenity. The master bedroom had no closet or rack to hang clothes, also no window coverings, hence the light shone in the bedroom all night long! We stayed during the week of Christmas, we wanted to catch up on sleep and relax with a few Christmas movies, we noticed that 5G was able in this location, but not at Duncan House! Had the host/owner disclosed the lack of phone coverage and pathetic internet situation, we most definitely would not have spent our Christmas 2021 at the Duncan House.

This is a lovingly restored old house full of beautiful antique furniture. The kitchen and bathrooms are modern and well equipped. The house is set back from the highway and very quiet, but only a short walk into town. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely stay at this charming property. The host has gone to great lengths to assure that each room is sparkling clean, very comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing. The kitchen is well stocked with both cooking and pantry items. The many, many beautiful plants inside and outside provided us hours of pleasurable viewing. The hot tub was a hit. And the walking proximity to a small enclave of great stores and restaurants and a bakery further enhanced our vacation. Thank you very much for providing us with such a beautiful vacation stay!

We k ew instantly that Duncan House is special- to feel a part of such a perfectly balanced historic moment. The houses history, with the amazing antiques, artwork, views, town, forest, river, coupled with such kind and considerate hosting. Add in the stillness of evening fog, cows, killer kitty, and an evening glowing soak and history was made for us all. Each room has its own epic. Just beautiful in every way. If west Sonoma means anything to you, you can’t not spend some time here. It’s required :)

What an amazing house!!!! Thank you!!!

The house is very large with tons of space for everyone to gather, eat and play games. It is in a great location next to restaurants, shops, the Russian River, and the beach.

The Duncan House’s host, Karen, is very responsive and helpful throughout the rental process, though after checking in there wasn’t anything we needed from her because the House is so completely and beautifully appointed. It’s an old, charming building and everything works - plenty of hot water, the appliances are new, the hot tub and bbq in great shape, the towels soft, etc… The location allows for a quick walk to the shops and restaurants of Duncan’s Mills as well as a beautiful set of hiking trails off of nearby freezeout road, and goat rock state beach and Northwood golf course are a short drive away. Our family of five adults all love the place and hope to rent it again when we return to the River area next year.

Historic home with period decor that made the setting as if you were experiencing its history. So peaceful and quiet with all the necessary amenities. Easy walking distance to Duncan’s Mills with its unique shops and restaurants and friendly people. Easy access to beaches, trails, and Russian River activities. Owner was very accessible and helpful. Can’t wait to visit again!
