Location and layout was GREAT! Many of the serving dishes, etc. were chipped and the poor house needs a decent set of knives! Would have also liked a fresher, bed situation with newer linens and comforter. You just can’t get away with grandma’s pillow pillows and throws anymore. Property owners need to step it up.

The house overall is very lovely! The deck and the access to the river right outside was what drew us to the property. It is a steep climb to get down to the river so be careful if it’s muddy as we slipped a few times. The carpets could use a freshening up. Maybe a dog had just stayed in the house? The living room and primary bedroom had a musty mildew/dog smell which was a little bothersome to some of us. The hot tub was lovely for the few colder days we had during our stay.

Unique space right along the Russian River

We enjoyed this house. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and all thst was needed for cooking big communal dinners. The house is quite beautiful, with an interior patio, outdoor deck, and hot tub area. The room with 3 beds was a bit cramped for several adults but workable. Overall, it's a.nice spot that's most enjoyable during the summer when you have direct access to the river.
