Great property! Description is correct.

The place was clean, comfortable and perfect. We would love to stay here again!

We stayed three nights as a party of three adults and three kids between the ages of 6 and 9. The adults slept in the cozy bedrooms and there was plenty of couch space for the three kids in the living room in sleeping bags. The whole house is beautifully updated and sparkling clean, and the kitchen was perfect for preparing meals. We enjoyed eating on the balcony and playing board games in the living room when we weren’t relaxing at the river or paddling around in the canoe. The river floats and other amenities provided were icing on the cake. Everyone had an amazing time, the kids never once missed their iPads, and we will 100% be back! Thank you for sharing your beautiful retreat with us.

Our lil family of 3 (2 adults+10yr boy+dog) absolutely enjoyed staying here. Our son enjoyed at night playing on his Oculus using the Internet. And as a family, we did a short 5 min walk across the island to get to the deeper waters and had fun playing in the river! Afterwards, it was really nice to have a hot shower, wash our clothes/dry, eat dinner on the table with the fireplace going and end the evening with a nice glass of wine, relaxing on the balcony or just watching TV. Would like to mention just 2 precautions: #1 about the stairs leading down to the river, it is VERY VERY STEEP, so please hold on tight to the railing as you make your way down SLOWLY. #2 The outdoors fire pit has too much vegetation growing around it and some were dried up vegetation. We did not feel comfortable starting a fire in the ground level fire pit as it is not deep at all even though there is a garden hose at reach but that's just us (novice).

We had a lovely time at the redwood butterfly. It has everything you need to enjoy the river and have peace and quiet. Very clean and the host Sally had great communication. Would stay here again.

Accommodations were very comfortable with modern kitchen, bathrooms, nice beds and TV with huge cable selections. Loss of 1 star for vegetation debris all along path to front door and rear deck. Also, treacherous footing/incline to reach stairs for access to river. Not safe for those with leg issues. Would stay, again, when in Monte Rio next time.

Beautiful house right on the river. The location was ideal and the deck was amazing. Fantastic little market a short walk away had everything we needed. Not 100% wheelchair accessible but we had brought some ramps and were able to make it work for our short stay.

House overlooking the Russian River, which runs past the back yard. Everything is as described. Dog friendly; although the back yard isn't fenced, there's a steep hill up to the street, so we could let the dogs off leash down there. The street is a little busy and has no sidewalk, though there are enough pedestrians that drivers know to watch for them.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the Redwood Butterfly. It definitely exceeded our expectations. The home was clean and well kept. Thank you Sally for being responsive to our inquiries leading up to our trip and we look forward to visiting again in the future!

Sally's place is spacious, clean and light. The kitchen is perfect if you plan on doing some cooking. It was cold and rainy while we were there and yet we were warm and comfy. Sally is easy to get ahold of. We will return! Thanks for a great getaway!

Easy, comfortable, functional, clean, well stocked with almost everything needing. Only a couple additions would have made this an ideal wheelchair accessible property: a ramp that met the height of the front door threshold and a handicapped height toilet. The possibility of arranging for other handicapped accessories would be icing on the cake. All and all, I would most certainly stay again in a heartbeat.

This is the second time I rented this cabin for the year. My family and I love this place and it's location. Look forward to coming back !!!

We had a wonderful time and being right on the river was delightful. We explored Patterson Point Reserve right down the street and had a great time canoeing.

We would like to spend our last week of summer vacation playing/working away from home and felt like Russian River was a good place to go. We liked this rental. It was clean and comfortable and within a walking distance to some good eateries. We enjoyed roasting s’mores in the fire ring in the evening and cozying up around the vintage fireplace at night. The view from the balcony was very peaceful. The owner was very responsive to our questions. One less star for the location on the river currently if you want to access the water from here. The canoe was here but the water was so low and stilled on this side of the island with lots of vegetation and algae. Also lots of cars driving by very fast on Moscow road. So if you stay here be careful walking around.

Perfect place to enjoy the surroundings

My sister and I rented the Redwood Butterfly cottage in celebration of our birthdays. We loved our stay-it was lovely and relaxing. Just what our souls needed:) Thank you Sally!

The fireplace needs service... a simple durflame log smoked out the evening.. The black mold in the shower... does the house keeper actually clean or just charge you for the service ... The kitchen sink that back up... the last three days we were there.... It was nice online. The initial walk in was nice until we got comfortable. The access to the river was not clear. The website is down or not functioning

This is a great property. There’s everything you could need. Great view. Very quiet. I recommend this place very highly.

It was a relaxing stay. We had lots of fun there.

This clean, bright & comfortable cabin has fabulous views right on the river. The process was easy. Thanks for a lovely stay!

The privacy, the location near the water, the exceptionally clean home, and the kindness of the owners all add up to an amazing stay. Want relaxation? This delivers! We will be back.

A comfortable and serene home to relax by the river. The home had everything you could want and was very comfortable. We hope to return again.

Great property

We had a lovely relaxing weekend in your well appointed home. Sitting with our coffee, watching the ducks in the river on a misty morning was so tranquil. We hope to return soon!

We had a perfect time in Butterfly Cabin; The house is very clean, comfortable and the perfect size for 3 people.

We had a wonderful stay, the home was cozy and warm on cool late November evenings (especially with the retro pot belly fireplace), and mid century decor was perfectly minimalist for our little ones to crawl around and explore after long days on the coast and at the river beaches.

Loved it here, hope to stay again. Enjoyed watching herons and ducks just below us while eating on the back deck. Pro tip for the front door lock: hit "key" button before and after combo.

We spent four nights at Sally's Butterfly home on the Russian River and loved every second. There is a wow factor from the moment you open the door. The atmosphere is clean, calm, uncluttered..a bit Zen-like. We loved sitting on the spacious deck watching birds, reading and enjoying the redwood ambiance. I enjoyed my morning walks on the twisty streets, never knowing what is around the corner. Both of us couldn't have been more happy with this property and look forward to our next visit.

Good location. Canoe, river and fire pit place are great!

This is such a beautiful location! We had a wonderful stay. The house is bright and airy, the kitchen is incredible and the access to the river is so much fun!

The pictures do not do this place justice!!! We couldn't have asked for better accommodations for a much needed rest and relaxation. We did not want to leave!!!
