May 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### River Cabin Getaway Enjoyed well appointed and equipped cabin with beautiful views and privacy. Nestled in the woods with huge redwoods around the deck. Good for two couples + a kids room (which we did not use). Right off the River Road! Take care exiting the driveway onto the River Road! ##### William D. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert C. Dec 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome Private Hideaway Cottage Had a very cozy and private time in this property. Everything was as described, hot tub was excellent, kitchen was excellent, chill area couch was excellent. Small house is dramatically nestled into a set of giant redwood trees.A few things that weren't clear from the listing :- There is no management on premises, it is a standalone unit, not an ADU.- The master bedroom/living room/kitchen are heated by the fireplace in the main room, whereas the other bedrooms have their own temperature control.- There really isn't full access to the river, it's overgrown/blocked off. But there is a very nice view of it!Location was very convenient to Sebastopol, Santa Rosa, and other surrounding towns. ##### Robert C. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leonid K. Jul 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pretty Sweet Getaway Me and my partner stayed for 8 days, the place has cozy wood cabin vibes, pretty spacious, and super quiet at night. There's a fully stocked kitchen which we appreciated as we made dinner a couple times, the bed was very comfy - just the right amount of firmness, and the hot tubb was a nice touch which we made good use of almost nightly. The area was ideal - private driveway that steers a good distance from the road, and a 15-20 minute drive from local restaurants, which were superb (def check out Boon Eat + Drink and Mainstreet Bistro). The river is very close too, and there are a few beaches all within driving distance, def recommend you go river rafting, but make sure to bring water shoes as the beaches are all rocky. All in all a very pleasant and relaxing stay, highly recommended! ##### Leonid K. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lexi C. Mar 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quaint & Quiet Get-away I stayed with my significant other for a couple days. The driveway/entrance comes up suddenly and dips down, so I would definitely recommend taking a vehicle with higher ground clearance. The local cell service was poor (as communicated), so we just downloaded driving directions using the WIFI before leaving and we didn't run into any problems. There is not much in the immediate area and it is not "walkable", so I would recommend having a personal vehicle or rental. We did, and we loved how close we were to the surrounding Vineyards. We had an amazing time. It was a relaxing, quiet, and romantic atmosphere. ##### Lexi C. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Roger P. Jun 13, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Shut out They cancelled 1/2 hr prior to check in. Shouldn’t be allowed. We had just finished a 7 hr drive and we were very upset. Not professional and shouldn’t be allowed to do that with your service. ##### Roger P. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Linda K. Aug 7, 2024 Disliked: Communication, location, listing accuracy #### Too many stairs It would have helped if there had been information on how many steps into the building My husband and I both have arthritis in our knees There was no information about the volume on the TV so we had to skip programs that we would have liked to watch The blanket on the bed was extremely heavy ##### Linda K.
