Great location and very nice house. Unfortunately, upon check-in at 4 p.m., the house was not ready for us-the house was not yet cleaned. We returned a half-hour later and when we walked in, there were no towels in the bathroom, they were in the dryer still wet. We checked the sheets that were on the bed and they were still damp. We stripped the bed and finished drying the towels and sheets and remade the bed. This inconvenience caused us to be late to our dinner reservation. We discovered the next evening that there was no wine opener in the kitchen, which was disappointing because we wanted to celebrate my wife’s birthday with a special bottle of wine. Other than those issues we had a very relaxing time. We would like to return in the near future.

We had a delightful stay and highly recommend this property. The cottage is 'just right', with regards to comfort, appearance, indoor and outdoor amenities, location, proximity to many food and activity options in the area, cleanliness and especially the opportunity to bring our canine companion. Bridgette was very accommodating and timely in providing valuable information. We had a delightful 3 night stay...! Thanks, Bridgette

Great place to enjoy the beautiful Russian River! Clever layout provides great views from every room. The cottage is in the middle of a cute country neighborhood, but it felt very private. The kayaks and hot tub were a huge bonus. Well stocked with amenities and very dog friendly.

This was a wine country visit for us, and the place is very nice and convenient. While we didn't use the outdoor amenities they looked great and I'm sure would be fun. Proximity to Guernville and Russian River wineries is outstanding.

We enjoyed our stay in your well equipped house. The backyard is a green oasis and we loved breathing in the forest scents. And our dog loved it, too.

I was blown away by how lovely and cozy this property is - a warm and welcoming space with gorgeous views and incredible vibes. It offers privacy and all the amenities of home, and is just downright comfortable for a relaxing vacation. The house and outside areas are well-kept and clean. I was especially impressed with the kitchen. I usually bring some of my own kitchen tools on trips like this, but I didn't need them here, as this kitchen has literally everything you need, down to a microplane(!) and a multitude of cheese knives. Wi-Fi works great, and there are plenty of cable channels if TV is part of your vacation routine. We LOVED this place and hope to return. Also of note, the host, Bridgette, is awesome. A very nice person who clearly loves this property and is happy to be able to share it with others. Thank you, Bridgette!

House has all amenities and great neighborhood to walk our dog. We enjoyed our time along the riverfront. This is our 10th Vrbo rental. We would stay here again. We recommend the Armstrong Reserve to anyone who stays here. It is a hidden gem!

wonderful location on the russian river. Had kayaks, hot tub, and a great view. Walking distance to public beach that allowed dog. Property Manager is wonderful.

Our biggest complaint was spiders everywhere, but what do you expect when the house is in the middle of trees? The kayaks were fun. The hot tub was fantastic. The location was convenient. It was a sweet getaway from the hustle of life.

This place was absolutely perfect. We really enjoy being on the river so the access with our paddle boards was very simple and the part of the river that this house is located on is absolutely gorgeous. I can’t wait to come back. Loved the decor and kitchen is well equipped. Thank you for making on your wedding anniversary very special.

beautiful property! has everything you need

Bridgette's property is an absolute gem. I came by myself and enjoyed swimming in the river, having meals on the patio, and getting some writing done inside the lovely house. I thoroughly relaxed and can't wait to come back next year : ) Highly recommended : )

We loved that this home was dog friendly! The home was welcoming, well stocked and in a great location. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable getaway in a relaxing spot

My wife and I (and dog) had a wonderful time at this riverfront property! It has beautiful French glass doors outside of the family room and bedroom which can be opened for breezes and beautiful views. It has a fireplace inside and out, and they’re very easy to use. Plus, there are two kayaks, tied up down by the dock for paddling around the beautiful river. Our dog loved chasing tennis balls in the water and had as much fun as we did. Highly recommend it

Beautiful view is stunning. Enjoyed cooking in the up to date kitchen. Dog was very happy too.

We had a wonderful stay at Bridgette’s place. It had all the amenities of home, plus a lovely deck w/hot tub. With direct access to the river and two kayaks, you’ll have everything you need to enjoy your holiday.

Best word to describe our stay is “relaxing.” The deck was perfect for kicking back with a beer or book or just enjoying the river view and peaceful surroundings. Cottage was very comfortable and charming with the updated kitchen and bathroom. Looking forward to coming back.

A wonderful place to rest in nature. The view of the river from many vantage points to the aesthetic tastes of the decor made for a very special vacation. My only regret is I did not learn until after booking that no one could stop by for a glass of wine or visit briefly with no exception. I understand and respect limits to no parties or large groups. I was confused that there was contradictory information ℹ️ n the guest book, saying one could have 1-2 visitors drop by. But all else was wonderful.

We loved everything about this property. The dogs would lay on the deck for hours and we had a great connection to the river. We felt secluded but short walks to town made the location perfect.

Was just what we wanted. Cottage in the woods and river access. Kayaks we’re available which was so nice. The jacuzzi was great at night. Beautiful view. When we asked for an umbrella the manager brought one to property as it was a hot weekend. Nice deck to sit on read and look at River.

The upper deck has a nice view of the rivers, comfortable chairs and a table. The house has nice art. Kitchen and bath have been remodeled and are like new.

Jujube is our favorite place on the planet. Comfortable, well stocked, and beautiful setting. We'll come back every year.

Many thanks to Bridgette for a lovely stay at Jujube! The back deck is well-appointed and large and we really enjoyed the chimenea at night. The hot tub and outdoor shower are perfect after paddling on the river. Such a lovely spot!

The cabin is very cozy. The kitchen has excellent appliances and was very usable. The view from the deck of the river was great. We enjoyed sitting on the deck with the fireplace in the evenings. The location was excellent. We enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous location, charming cottage. Great host.

We had a comfortable and relaxing stay in this cottage by the river. We hope to stay again in the future.

We had a fantastic stay at Jujube for our anniversary. What an amazing little gem. Perfect size for two people! Loved having river access right off the small lawn area. House was clean and comfortable, kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals at home.

Perfect long weekend. Cozy, foggy mornings breaking through to brilliant skies. The deck begs for you to sit and relax and be mesmerized by the calming river passing by.

Each year, we rent a house or cottage for our anniversary. We usually stay on the coast - either Bodega Bay, Dillon Beach or Pacific Grove. I had not booked a trip this year as I have been really sad after the loss of multiple pets in one year. I just didn't feel like celebrating anything. My sweetheart encouraged me to book something and I decided to book something out of the ordinary to have a change that wouldn't remind me of previous trips with our beloved pets. First, the pictures do not do the property justice. It is stunning. . . you enter through a wooden gate and follow a gravel path to stairs that are surrounded by tall redwoods. As you round the corner, the property opens onto a deck surrounded by tall redwoods, the river and a riot of wildflowers and plants - that first viewing is magical! The house is immaculately clean and well stocked. The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom is large with a shower that has the best water pressure ever! The kitchen is beautifully equipped with high end appliances, good pots, pans and utensils. . .you could create any meal! There is a small microwave, blender, coffee grinder, French press, toaster, and Mr. Coffee Coffee Maker. Note that the refrigerator is cleared completely after each rental and the there are limited spices and random items in the pantry cabinet but little else. We had many plans to go out to eat but loved Jujube so much, we cooked because we didn't want to leave. There is also a lovely, clean and well maintained gas grill outside. I recommend planning your meals ahead and shopping in Guerneville or elsewhere- there is a large, well stocked grocery store in town but it is very spendy. The deck and backyard space is such an oasis. . .between the beautiful outdoor shower, the chimenea (bring your own wood, it is not porvided), the wonderful hot tub and lawn where our pup, Amelia, enjoyed rolling in the grass we just never wanted to leave. Amelia decided she is not a waterdog but we enjoyed time on the sandy river beach and dipping our toes in the river. There are kayaks available as well. Jujube is a warm, welcoming space full of happy energy. There is a spirit of generosity in this home that shines through in every detail. I really feel better after spending time here - I hope to return very soon!

Had a wonderful time from hiking to relaxing in the backyard. It’s a beautiful please and very tranquil. I will be back!

We had such a nice weekend to relax and unwind. The cabin by the river was so cute. We loved the hot tub and views that went with it! The kitchen and bathroom have been beautifully updated and the kitchen was a nice space to work in. The neighborhood was quiet and we took our doggies on a nice little walk. Thank you Bridgette for your hospitality!

Perfect location to visit Sonoma. Stunning views and super cozy home. Love the decks, wood burning stoves. We didnt want to leave! We recommend this vacation home 100%
