The Good: The bathroom and kitchen were great. The bed was also great. The Disappointing: The online photos showed the living area bright and light. The deck had no sun on it until 4pm each day, and there were only small lamps in the living area so it was dark, with the exception of the bedroom and the bathroom. The kitchen had good lighting. I was grateful for the heater as the house was cold, and you're required to provide your own wood. No coffee filters, but we found a cafe filtre that worked. We were disappointed mostly in the lack of light and left early so as not to spend another dark evening.

This is a cute bungalow for sure with some caveats. First - When we checked in we found a pile of small pale squishy things on the end of the bed on the window side. There was also a pile of brown 'sand' like dust against the wall right there next to the bed as well. With further investigation we discovered they were termite eggs! And the brown 'dust' is wood dust/termite poo. I looked up and sure enough on the ceiling (which is painted wood) you can see remnants of dead insects and cob/spider webs. Second - The cottage is directly on the river which is awesome, but on the other side of the river is the 116 main road and so there is traffic noise pretty much most of the day and evening. So sitting out staring at the river you don't get a quiet peaceful soundscape, you get traffic noise. Third - As some have noted, the wi-fi is pretty weak. In the living room, sometimes, and especially in the bedroom, the television had trouble streaming consistently, which again, not a problem if you don't watch TV at night, but it was the Olympics so... Just be aware. Fourth- The only fenced area is a very petite from garden area. There is irrigation in this small gravel covered front 'yard', which comes on automatically around 8:30 am. Unfortunately the pipes have come looses and spray water at you as you walk by, it was quite a surprise, but it was warm that day so no big deal... There are pros: The bed was reasonably comfortable, the outdoor shower wonderful, kitchen well equipped.

spent our anniversary in this magical spot. We hiked, kayaked, swam, sat in the hot tub, showered outside, cooked, read and relaxed. Watched the ospreys in the tree across the river. Had everything we needed. Very comfortable. Wished we could have stayed longer. Thank you Bridgette!

We really loved this spot. It’s dog friendly, there is a yard for them to play, kitchen was nice, bed was comfortable. They have access to the river and kayaks so we took our dogs out. We had a great time! Would stay here again!

A very nice place. Although next to other homes, the place feel very private. Beautiful scenery.

This was our second time staying at the cottage, and my wife me and Mac our dog loved it! It’s great being right on the water, having an outdoor fireplace, a beautiful new deck on the river, two kayaks, and an outdoor shower! Need I say more.

We both loved the property, the access to the river, everything we could want was close by. The house is very cozy and had everything we could want. We also drove to the ocean a few times to let our dog run on the beach. Bodega Bay and Jenner are close by. The house and property are very private and tucked into the beautiful tall redwoods. We liked the neighborhood and all in all we had a lovely time. We would go back.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. The home was clean, in a good location, and in a nice walkable neighborhood. We had a lot of fun using the kayaks. I would recommend the home for a relaxing place to stay on the river.
