The 4 Moms enjoyed a weekend away. Kitchen was well equipped and the hot tub was spacious. Quiet and no one to pick up after except ourselves. We enjoyed cooking, wine, and chatting. The perfect place. We will be back.

Beautiful property to spend time surrounded by the redwoods and the Russian river.

We enjoyed our mini getaway to Zin and Zen. The house is lovely, well-appointed and surrounded by trees which makes you feel like you are nestled in a forest. To enjoy the river we walked down the stairs to the dock and laid out some towels. From there we enjoyed watching the water and plentiful birds; we jumped in the river for swims and took the kayaks out for lovely paddles!

Our family of 4 loved our stay at this house. The house was very clean and private. It was extremely well stocked with all of the towels, beach items, paper items, etc we needed. We loved the huge picture windows looking out over the river and spent a lot of time in the hot tub. The outdoor space was wonderful and relaxing. The area is very quiet and cute. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and looking at all of the interesting houses. We also enjoyed exploring the beaches at each end of the road which are available in addition to the dock with the home. I would highly recommend this vacation rental.

We had a great time staying at this house. The kitchen had everything we needed, including a stash of kitchen essentials like cooking oil and spices. The sheets were soft. The bed was comfortable. The hot tub felt great. The shade of the California redwood was even better. there were kayaks and lifejackets, as well as boardgames and bikes, tons of fun activities just at the house the river was refreshing in the current. The first few days of June was surprisingly fast and deep. a little ways up from the house, the river widened and was easier to cross, but right by the deck of this house the water was very quick. I am an excellent swimmer, and the current pushed me pretty far when I was crossing just through swimming. I wouldn’t allow my boys to swim so we did enjoy the kayaks! Loved that the house had bath towels and beach towels! Recommend bringing river shoes. Also enjoyed grilling on the deck and there was a nice Bluetooth speaker that we were able to take out on the deck and enjoy while we soaked in the hot tub. Thanks!

We loved this house! Our small kids could play outside safely on the deck, take hot tubs and enjoy the amazing views! We will definitely be back in summer

The property was exactly as advertised. Loved the hot tub overlooking the river.

Our family enjoyed a cozy winter weekend with a fire and s’mores. We also explored the coast and Armstrong State Park. We highly recommend this house with a great host!

This was such a lovely little home! We loved that it was tucked away from the local towns and felt nestled in the woods, yet was so easy to get to local hot spots for wine tasting and shopping. I went with a group of four best friends, and our weekend was dotted with rain, so we didn't get to enjoy the river. But it was a lovely spot for a cozy rainy weekend, too! We found delight in the wood burning stove, hot tub in the drizzle, and plenty of board games to entertain ourselves. We watched a lightning storm through the giant back deck windows and felt cozy delight. We love to cook so we usually bring our own knives and measuring cups, but we were delighted that this kitchen was truly FULLY STOCKED - most rentals are not! So much care and attention went into this great little home. We are definitely putting it on our favorites for a return visit. It would also be good with a family, since there is a bunkbed room. :)

The pictures do not do it justice! Stayed here with my wife for our anniversary- a quiet weekend on russian river. Zin & Zen was CLEAN, COZY, AND COMFORTABLE! it's right in the water, wonderfully decorated, even when we weren't out and about in guernville, jenner, or Duncan mills, we were perfectly happy just sitting in the house with a cup of coffee or glass of wine watching the weather through the huge windows. We hope to return this summer with our kids! Five stars, thank you for sharing your home with us, Suzie!

Wonderful home in a great location!

We loved the large picture windows overlooking the beautiful river view. The house was bright, well decorated and has nice furniture. We would like to return.

What a great property! It was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor shower so much as well as the water front deck and kayaks! Surrounded by beautiful scenery and cozy environment was the perfect place to create fond memories!

Pros - 1) great location in a quiet neighborhood, on the river, and close to town; 2) the house is very cute and well-kept; 3) the outdoor areas are wonderful, multiple locations to sit outside, relax and enjoy the view (I especially love the deck off of the main bedroom); 4) I didn't use it myself, but two of my friends said the outdoor shower was fantastic; 5) house was well-stocked with everything you might need; 6) the owners were quick to respond to any questions I had and were very helpful with information about the area. Cons - 1) only one bathroom; 2) the river isn't dammed yet, so we weren't able to go far in the kayaks as the water is only a few inches in some places; 3) kayaks were dirty; 4) the stairs down to the dock are pretty steep and could be very difficult for some people to get up and down; 5) we were there Mon-Weds and quite a few of the restaurants and shops in town were closed, so keep that in mind when choosing your dates. Overall, my friends and I very much enjoyed our stay at Zin and Zen.

Zin and Zen was the perfect place for our family to spend a week in the Russian River Valley! The location is terrific as it is just a short drive to many vineyards, the coast and Armstrong Redwoods State Park. Since we had a 17-month-old with us, we also spent a lot of time at the house. Suzi's place is gorgeous and there is so much space to relax & have fun. We made use of every outside area, the kayaks, the hot tub, the dock, and the many games they have available.......this place has it ALL! We have already recommended it to my sister and her family for a future trip. We really did feel privileged to stay in this home for our vacation.

lovely location overlooking the river!

We had a great vacation weekend at the house. The back deck was a delightful spot for a glass of wine or outdoor meal and the house is well appointed and cozy. The noise from the highway across the river was a bit of a bummer, but overall, we'd definitely come back.

We absolutely loved our stay at Zin and Zen. The house was immaculate and the reviews of a well-stocked kitchen were very accurate. We loved kayaking on the river and relaxing in the hot tub. The owners were very easy to get in touch with and very accommodating. Our family had a wonderful visit and we look forward to returning in the future!

This was an awesome rental! Everything was clean and exceptional thought went into making our stay perfect! The view was outstanding, the fire pit was a great way to end the day and of course the hot tub was amazing. There are 3 levels (barbeque area - hot tub area, down to the firepit and then the dock - access to the waster. The kitchen was well stocked and there were 2 sets of washers and dryers. Short drives to many wineries. We all would stay here again. Thank you!

Perfect friend or family getaway. It is beautiful, comfortable, and well-equipped. This should be the spot for your next gathering. We are very grateful to have chosen Zin and Zen on the river.

A wonderful, quiet, serene home - this is a place that anyone should find very relaxing and extremely peaceful and private. Great bedding, hot tub, fire pit, dock, kitchen with everything you need, and cable with most channels - a real plus as more and more VRBO's are relying on guests to use their own HULU or other provider. Doesn't work for non USA guests like us. A Safeway nearby which is a huge plus so you don't have to load up in Santa Rosa or Costco - short drive to the Coast and more wineries nearby than anyone would ever need. Guerneville is a very small community, others like Bodega Bay, Jenner, Occidental not far away. We stayed in at nights as it was soooo relaxing with the modern and clean hot tub.

We had a great time at Zin and Zen. The house was comfortable and cozy, with lots of nice touches. The hot tub was wonderful along with the view/access to the river. This is a terrific house for a family get-away. We really loved our time at Zin and Zen and look forward to returning in the future.

This house was incredibly clean and well stocked! Communication with the owner was easy! Would definitely stay again!

My kids and I stayed at Suzi & David house for thanksgiving we loved, the house had everything we need to cook our meal for thanksgiving I was surprised to find everything that I needed when I was cooking the turkeys. Very good knife too. The hot tub is awesome and really private. Thank you so much for letting us staying at you house we can’t wait to go back on the summer time and go JUMP IN THE RIVER :-)

Let me just start out by saying this was the best experience.. the view, location, amenities!!! My friends and I had the best most relaxing stay for my b day.. it was clean had everything we needed to cook everyday ! We did yoga we went hiking we enjoyed every moment. I highly recommend!! The neighbors were friendly and kind! I can’t wait to come back

The house was clean, perfectly located and well-stocked with everything you need for a Russian River getaway.

wonderful house with spectacular outside spaces. the steps down to the water are a bit "hairy" for us 70 year olds, have to be very careful to not fall. could use a second bathroom upstairs. but I would still recommend the place for vacationing

Charming home with everything you could want for a family vacation. Kayaking , hot tubbing and sitting around the firepit making s’mores under the redwoods . . Fully stocked kitchen and comfy beds . We will remember our time here . Thank you David and Suzi 😃

This place was the perfect getaway from the city humdrum. Thoughtfully & tastefully decorated with great conveniences - jacuzzi (under the redwood tree), firepit, swing on the deck overlooking the river, the kayaking experience & indoor fireplace. There is only 1 bathroom (although the shower inside is not bad at all considering the prior reviews I read). I loved the extra towels. The outdoor shower was great! Unique experience. The bedrooms were super comfy (rooms were old fashioned & tastefully done up). I recommend eye-blinds for those who are sensitive to morning light. Suzi extended an amazing hospitality by allowing us to extend our stay by another day. She also connected us with David who helped us connect our music to their Bose speaker. The kayaking experience was great. Neighboring kayakers were helpful in getting us first-timers onto the kayak & the neighborhood was quiet & respectful. I loved the serenity & will be back here again! It’s a perfect getaway for a family looking forward to a nature oriented outing with well thoughtout conveniences. Thank you, Suzie & David.

The house is perfect for families, has everything one would need and is close to so many activities. The husband was able to work remotely with an amazing view while the rest of the family enjoyed kayaking and swimming from the private dock, walking the neighborhood - everyone is friendly, and short trips around the area. At night we enjoyed roasting marshmallows by the fire pit and star gazing from the top deck. A perfect, relaxing vacation in a well stocked home with excellent communication from the hosts! We hope to return in the future!

Charming house! It was me and my friend, and 2 teens, 1 tween. We never used the indoor shower, only the outdoor one which is under the redwood tree. Other highlights were the hottub on the deck, the kayaks waiting for you at the private dock, and the firepit halfway down toward the river. I cooked alot and kitchen was easy and well set up.

House we fully stocked like you were studying at home. Wonderful experience.
