19-Acre Russian River Wine Country Retreat, Private Beaches, beautiful house

Sunday night Special $400, 3 night minimum. Beautiful 19-acre one-of-a-kind riverfront retreat at the confluence of the Russian River and Big Creek in the Sonoma Wine Country’s Alexander Valley of northern California. Several private beaches offer fantastic world-class river swimming in clear, relatively warm comfortable water (about 9-degrees warmer than most California rivers) with a reasonably mild current, all in a wonderful natural setting teeming with wild life - - the trout fingerlings will nibble at your toes! Downstream towns like Rio Vista and Guerneville, while charming, offer less ideal river swimming conditions because they are often located in cooler redwood forests and the water isn’t as clear.

The comfortable, clean 3-bedroom (all with walk-in closets) 2 ½ bath house (sleeps 6 + 2 sleeper couch = 8) includes a 7-person hot tub/spa, TV (all cable channels), DVR, Wi-Fi, propane BBQ, decks, fire pit, fruit tree orchard and separate Horse Barn game room/beach clean-up station with pool table, darts, horseshoes and badminton, basketball hoop and an outdoor shower.

The peninsula property is located in Cloverdale, 3 minutes from downtown, only 20 minutes from enchanting Victorian Healdsburg and surrounded by 40 notable Alexander Valley vineyards including Rodney Strong, Francis Ford Coppola, Ferrari Carano, Dry Creek Vineyards, Fritz and Geyser Peak. Just 80 easy freeway miles north of San Francisco. Enjoy a perfect summer day with wine-tasting in the morning, beaches in the afternoon and fine dining and hot tub under the stars at night. In summertime, it’s fabulous swimming and hot, dry weather (limited floaties provided for guests). A great road trip includes small river towns nestled in redwood groves like Monte Rio and Forestville, then on to the Pacific where the misty rock pillars of Jenner tower majestically in the sea. Don’t miss old Fort Ross, the early 19th century Russian empire fur trading post, and magical Mendocino, the Victorian gem atop the cliffs overlooking the ocean. Sorry no pets. Have a great trip!
