Would have given 5 stars if it weren't for the uncomfortable beds. Especially in the primary bedroom, it's caving in the middle, groans loudly when there's any movement, and is smaller than the normal queen. Caused a major kink in my neck/shoulder that I still haven't worked out! Enjoyed the house otherwise - great hot tub with beautiful views to the trees and the cozy fireplace were highlights. Would come back if they upgrade the beds.

Great stay in Guerneville
This house was clean and well appointed. The beds could use a refresh (mattresses not the most supportive and bed frame was noisy) but overall this was a great choice for our group of 4. The setting is beautiful, in a quiet neighborhood of other well-kept homes, but it is a bit of a walk on a busy road to get into town. Would stay here again if i needed something in the area.

Perfect Getaway
Four longtime girlfriends and I stayed here for three nights to celebrate a birthday. Overall, the stay was perfect. The house is just as advertised, the kitchen was well stocked with details like sharp knives (something you almost never find in vaca rentals!) and enough dishware for everyone. The location is great and close to things like the grocery store. We especially loved the hot tub! The one thing that threw the experience slightly off was the repeated house rules around towels. I know that sounds strange, but it's stated in several places to take care of towels; otherwise, you will be charged. Thankfully, they did warn you to bring your own towels for the hot tub as they are not provided, so we brought a bag of several extra towels that we ended up using for showers and the hot tub. Sounds like the owners might have gotten burned by guests and how they treated the towels in the past! Just bring your own towels and you'll have a wonderful time.

Great stay at Lazy Bear
We had a lovely time here! Cozy, big gas fireplace in living room, comfy thick mattresses, nice hot tub. House is in a little hilly neighborhood, but once you’re inside the house you would never know anyone else was around you. The property is beautifully and cleverly landscaped for privacy, and the back of the house backs up to a lush and woodsy hillside. Very green, shady and pretty. Near to town and the redwoods. We would return for sure.

Highly recommend!
We’ve stayed in several rentals in Guerneville but this was one of our favorites to spend time with family. Can’t recommend it enough and hope to be back! Perfect amenities with everything we needed for a great weekend. Well stocked kitchen, cable TV, fireplace, AC/heat, grill, jacuzzi, office with monitor, board games, and plenty of bedrooms and bathroom. Beautiful location in the trees with a nice walking loop in the neighborhood for getting some steps in. Very friendly community. Short drive to town, Johnson’s beach and Korbel. Nice areas both indoor and outdoor to relax. Only wish there was a bit more seating in the living room but we were able to bring some chairs from the other room no problem. Also was confused about where to deposit compost once kitchen bin was full. Booking, check in, checkout and communication with hosts was a breeze. 10/10 Recommend Lazy Bear Losge!

Nice House
I hesitate to write this review. We love VRBO and have used them for both domestic and international properties. But the management company for this property was not helpful. The house had many instructions (including cleaning) and we tried to follow these such as the garbage expectations, etc. While we were told to contact the management company it took the them two days to answer our questions and this was after we called them again. The house was nice and well located but the TV box is outdated, they did not provide enough garbage bags, and supplies such as no coffee (we left some with filters for the next occupant). We enjoyed our stay but will never rent from a third party management company again. We will make sure the listing is managed by VRBO.

Nice Redwood/Costal stay
This was our first time visiting Guerneville. The town is nice and quaint— cute shops and local restaurants to eat, and only a short drive to the coast with lots of hikes and beaches that were dog friendly. The house itself is gorgeously tucked against the redwood forest. It is a nice modern home with all the amenities you would want. We absolutely loved the deck and hot tub. Property management was quick to respond as our reservation was booked only the day before.
