Casa Panama's spectacular setting is overlooking the Russian River Estuary and the Pacific Ocean with breathtaking views and sunny living areas. This well-appointed property is surrounded by thousands of acres of parkland and open space. A haven for restorative retreats, reunions and family gatherings, and for the activity minded, there is bird watching, hiking, biking and kayaking at your doorstep. Four bedrooms and a high-end sofa bed allow you to sleep 10.

The owners unit at Casa Panama is occupied by Toni and your privacy is her highest concern. Entrances and outdoor spaces are entirely separated and privatized. Inside the home, a third of the space between her space and Casa Panama is left unoccupied for soundproofing between the units. Noise is really sincerely never an issue so feel comfortable to not worry about that. There is a very friendly mature miniature poodle in the owners unit along with an indoor cat but neither animal ever has any access to the rental inside or out.

Please always call on Toni if you need anything at all. She has been in this business for over 30 years and sincerely enjoys hosting her guests. She delights in helping you plan your stay while taking pride as a long term resident with experience in the area. You will find a well researched Welcome Book in the house with restaurants and things to do plus everything you need to know about how things work at the house. You can also refer to our new Guide Book on this site.

The neighborhood is small and quaint and you will be delighted to know the roads have recently been repaved! This is a seaside town on the hill overlooking the Russian River as it makes its way to the sea. Most of the homes are smaller second homes. Casa Panama stands out as being one of the original homes in the area and is one of the most formidable in size and location. Be sure to visit the coffee shop on the river as you come into town where besides great coffee and sandwiches you will be entertained by local musicians on the outdoor stage. Next door to the coffee shop is a new wine tasting business, the Visitor Center and the Post Office.

At Casa Panama, the fenced decks which, include the spa are for your private use. The driveway is shared with the owner but it’s large enough to accommodate several of your automobiles and it does not face the owners unit or disturb her in any way.

A majestic setting overlooking the ocean and scenic Russian River in Jenner. 4 bedrooms 3.5 bath "Casa Panama" sleeps two to ten. Casa Panama is located on the hill above scenic Hwy 1, ten miles north of Bodega Bay and 10 miles from Guerneville. This area is marketed as an ecotourism destination because it is surrounded by over 10,000 acres of open space and plenty of nature based activities this region has to offer: walks on the beach, hiking, kayaking and canoeing, swimming, surfing, bird watching, horseback riding, zip-lining, fishing, golfing, paragliding, mountain biking, skate boarding, wind surfing, sea lions and whale watching, fine dining, or just sitting listening to the sea while reading a good book!

As you wander around the terraced decks gazing at this acre of paradise, you will experience both the peace and the drama of the Russian River as it meets the sea. The neighborhood is isolated and quiet yet close enough to plenty of fun activities that will keep you coming back for more. Don’t miss the Jenner Headlands just recently opened, with 14 miles of hiking trails a short walk up the hill.

This eclectic home is designed for your comfort, privacy and indoor/outdoor panoramic enjoyment.

The hardwood floors, imported carpets, furnishings, and fine art create a luxurious ambiance worthy of a king. Bathe yourself in soothing gold hues in tiled bathrooms with large showers.

The professional kitchen looks beyond the dining room to spectacular views of the mouth of the Russian River as it meets the sea. The gourmet kitchen has all new appliances: large gas stove, family-size refrigerator, two stainless prep sinks, microwave, toaster, blender, coffee maker, and gourmet cooking supplies. We suggest dinner on the patio for evening gatherings or on the expansive deck overlooking the dramatic river and ocean views.

Fine dining nearby; adorable coffee/ lunch shop just down the hill; shop local boutiques and eat at wonderful restaurants in Duncan's Mills; go wine tasting in Jenner or find numerous wineries up to 30 minutes away, drive up the coast to Fort Ross or beyond or drive down the coast to Bodega Bay or beyond to Point Reyes.

Mornings are a great time to stroll down the hill to Aquatica Cafe for coffee and pastries or a delicious sandwich and salad. Sit outside listen to music on weekends or just quietly sit and watch the river flow past.

While you're down at the river consider reserving a kayak or a kayaking tour i.e. star gazing or a bird watching trip around Penny Island. Be sure to visit the Jenner Visitor's Center just next door to the cafe. Another option is to head up the hill from the house a short walk to the back gate of the Jenner Headlands or drive just 1.5 miles north on Hwy. 101 to the Headlands Trailhead main gate.

I’m pretty sure wine tasting might not be considered an ecotourism activity but for all of you interested, we suggest you check on line for wineries or tours in West Sonoma County. This is also wine country!

The area is well known for Levi’s GranFondo bike race. This event was the brainchild of professional road cyclist Levi Leipheimer who used to train here on these roads which is how his tough training route became a famous event that finishes dramatically coming down Hwy 1!

We all need family getaways maybe more now than ever but we need to feel safe. Here's the extra precautions we are taking to advance our 5* cleaning service for our guests and family and friends.

Since viruses die faster in sunlight and in high humidity, we immediately open the house hours before your arrival and air it out completely. At Casa Panama we are fortunate to have the benefit of full sun from sun-up to sundown with a little higher humidity. Couple that with fresh air and sea breezes and you will likely agree this atmosphere can revitalize both your health and your spirit.

As a proactive precaution we are wiping down all hard surfaces including floors, cabinets, counter surfaces, appliances with a bleach solution. Since the best defense against active viruses remains frequent hand washing we make sure there is plenty of soap, paper towels in all kitchens and bathrooms for your use. All bedding is changed and washed washed between guests. We want to thank you for your patronage and let you know how much we care about your families’ welfare and your experience here.
