_________________

Jujube has been a much loved vacation rental for over 20 years.

Recently remodeled, Jujube has a brand new kitchen with high end stainless appliances, an updated bathroom with a marble top double sink vanity and a glass walk in shower.

Other updates inside and out: new larger flat screen televisions in the living room and bedroom, lots of new furniture, a new high efficiency convection wall heater, soft goods (curtains, bedding, towels and more), a new river view hot tub deck with seating area and two new kayaks.

Most recently we have added a private outdoor shower.

We are dog lovers, and the property is super dog friendly. Unlike most vacation rentals, we do not charge a pet fee. We've been able to continue that policy for OVER ten years now because our guests have consistently been very responsible dog parents!

Our general rule is two pups under 50 pounds. There is some wiggle room, as long as your pups are low impact on the property.

______________________________________________

Jujube is a stylish, light and airy one bedroom for two people only.

She is a thoughtfully remodeled and updated vintage cottage on the banks of the Russian River with river access (typically safe May to October) from the yard and down a metal staircase to the seasonal dock. River access is seasonal and never guaranteed.

______________________________________________

It is important to note that the Russian River is not safe for swimming or kayaking from November to April. The river level fluctuates constantly depending upon rain amounts, and the currents can be extremely dangerous.

______________________________________________

After parking in your dedicated off street parking space, you enter the property through a private garden and head down the right side of the house to the sunny riverfront deck, where you will find your outdoor seating area and wood-burning chiminea fireplace, gas grill, hot tub deck, lawn and river access with two kayaks.

There are no houses across the water from you, so it’s just the river and redwoods. Cocktails on the deck, a soak in the hot tub, swimming or kayaking in the river, or just enjoy the sun and scenery.

Entry to the house is via keyless entry code through the central pair of three French doors that open to the deck. Once inside, you will find a spacious one bedroom cottage with river views from the living room, dining room, bedroom and bathroom and a garden view from the kitchen.

Read a book, watch a movie on the large flat screen television or just relax in the living room in front of the wood burning fireplace, in the leather lounge chair or in the vintage rocking chair.

The open kitchen is well-equipped for your stay, ready for morning coffee and toast on the deck or a gourmet meal for two at the river view dining table.

The sun sets over the river and redwoods you see from the comfy, cozy bedroom. There’s plenty of storage, extra blankets and pillows, and another flat screen television.

Off the bedroom is the bath, with a marble double vanity, walk in glass door shower, extra towels and a separate exit to the deck.

Back outside where most guests begin and end their days at Jujube, the river changes hour by hour and season by season, from placid mornings to sunny afternoons to starry nights, which tend to be cool year round.

Light a fire, enjoy a glass of local Pinot. And welcome to Jujube.

______________________________________________

Your total booking cost will include the nightly rate, a cleaning fee, occupancy tax (same rate as a hotel room) and a refundable security deposit. VRBO now also may charge a service fee.

We had a delightful stay at Jujube! The cottage was comfortable and well equipped with extra touches throughout (an electric tea kettle, clear instructions about the televisions/media, and tips for local restaurants and things to do). The outdoor space was excellent and had plenty of seating and multiple levels for wildlife viewing or stargazing. We had a quiet and restorative stay, and we definitely hope to return in the future.

What a delightful stay. The house was very clean with all of the accoutrements. The bed was super comfortable. The location is nice and private yet close to local activities. We look forward to staying when the weather is warmer, but in the cold, it was cozy and just what we needed to relax before the holiday rush. The hot tub was a welcome sanctuary.

We really loved this cozy cabin. We loved the views and really enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the evening with a fire in the chiminea. We also enjoyed the kayaks. The location on the Russian River was great. We walked to the Monte Rio beach with our dog every morning. Also, the bed was so comfortable, which is huge for my husband and I. We would definitely recommend.

My wife, our dog, and I had an amazing adventure at Bridgets river front cottage. She was a great host who made sure we had all we needed, even recommendations for dinner. The Rivers End in Jenner is amazing for dinner at sunset by the way. The cottage has it all for a one of kind experience in the Russian River. Fall was a perfect time to be there. We hope to come back again. Thank you Bridget.
