Great stay at castle crag
We had a wonderful stay at castle crag. The proximity to the trails is fantastic and so beautiful. The house was spacious and comfortable and outstanding views. We were disappointed that the hot tub was not functional.

Spectacular Sunrises and Sunsets
We loved this well laid out and spacious house. The views were spectacular and well worth the early rise to see the sunrise.

River retreat
Sweet place to stay with an amazing view of the river and beach. Plenty of rooms and lounge areas. Enjoyed watching the pelicans riding the thermals from the deck. Only issue we had was one of the downstairs bedrooms had a bug issue, from a hole at the base of the door. Other than that, it was lovely.

Beautiful view
Dazzling views all around, many rooms, but a bit of unique downstairs rooming layout. An incredible new deck and nice hot tub. A bit warn but a good value.

Wonderful cozy home, fantastic view, excellent customer service!
My group of friends LOVED staying at Castle Crag for a long New Year's weekend. My husband had some initial concerns after reading some other reviews here, but he wrote to Russian River Vacation Homes to ask about things like the safety of the deck, and he got a comprehensive response within a couple of hours - we were blown away by the customer service. I'm happy to say the house was clean, cozy, and perfectly safe. The hot tub and the view from the deck and sunroom are the two most awesome features here - pics don't quite give you a sense of how lovely the view over the Russian River is! The location is great too - you can walk down the hill to a convenience store/gas station and the charming Cafe Aquatica. Depending on your fitness and mobility level, you might be able to walk to beaches from here, but when a friend and I attempted it with her two dogs we wound up turning back after enjoying a beach view at one of the turnouts high up on a cliff - the narrow highway was a little too dicey for us to continue. All in all this was a fantastic stay. I'd love to return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!

The house was difficult to get in and out of because you had to use stairs everywhere, and the stairs weren’t very safe for example no railings on the initial steps to get into the house. The carpets in the house were filthy, and I felt like I had to wash everything in the kitchen before I used it. The hot tub was lukewarm so as adults could not use it. Overall it was a bad experience and I would not recommend this place.

Dirty and dilapidated
We were very disappointed by the quality of the accommodations at Castle Crag. The property is overgrown with ivy, the deck scary wobbly, the window and door screens torn and missing. The carpet was filthy, covered in large puddle stains and disgusting. The downstairs smelled like mold. All of the the windows were cobwebby. and the skylights were filled with webs and dead bugs. The toilet seat was broken in the upstairs bathroom and the trash was filled to capacity prior to our arrival. All of the bed covers look like they are from the 80's, worn out and need replacing. When we expressed our disappointment to the management we were offered a $100 discount - this was insulting. The house is in a serious state of disrepair and neglect. The only redeeming quality was the stunning view from the main level. Oh, and the cushions in the main sitting room need replacing. Very disappointing.

Wonderful house for an unplugging vacation!
This is our second year booking this house in a similar time of year for a post-holiday recovery session. There were 6 of us total, although there were room for a couple more, plus one four-legged companion. We love that there are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate us all easily, no uncomfortable sharing of rooms or careful planning of shower schedules. The dining/living areas also more than accommodate a group of 8-10 and are so comfortable for relaxing/chatting/reading/napping/relaxing. We definitely used the hot tub, and enjoyed time on the porches soaking up the views. Location is great, we went to the beach for sunset, did some shopping in nearby Duncan Mills, and headed into Healdsburg for some wine tasting--all were an easy drive away for quick day trips. The house is clean, comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked with tools, and we love that the check in and check out process is very simple, very customer friendly with easily accessible keys and an easy check out process. Last, but definitely not least, the booking process is easy, the house contacts very accessible and responsive, and great to work with. We will likely be back next year and for years to come!

My family enjoyed their stay. There were a few minor problems.
My advice is to bypass VRBO and contact Russian River Vacation Rentals directly.

Beautiful setting! Outstanding views.
Very comfortable home. We lived the privacy and quiet. Driveway a bit trucky to maneuver, but once you get the hang of it, no problem. Shop before you get there as grocery shopping is very limited. Goat Rock beach is a must see--go on your first day because you WILL want to go back with a picnic lunch.

Beautiful river and ocean views- peaceful.
Spacious 4 bedroom home with a well appointed kitchen and three bathrooms. Jenner is a beautiful town, with outdoor river opportunities, and wonderful drives north and south to coastal destinations, and east to the wine country. Wonderful family get away!

Know what to expect and you'll have a great trip!
I've gone back and forth on this review. I had to go with 3 stars, even though we had a great time in this house, because it needs a lot of TLC from the owners and it's pretty clearly not on their priority list. The pots and pans are wharped and won't sit on the flat top stove. Tomales Bay is around the corner, but the only oyster shucker in the house is a contraption from the fifties that doesn't work. There are tons of flashlights though! The deck is kind of falling apart and the furniture is definitely falling apart. Don't plan on using the grill. Half of the grates are corroded. The other half are missing. For future renters, every bit of information you need is in the reviews and the description. Do not expect anything more. The driveway is indeed frightening (but if I can make it, anyone can!) The views are spectacular. The house is old. And well worn. I'm pretty sure the Golden Girls had some of the same furniture. We didn't have a problem with the wifi/satellite signal at the house, but there's no signal anywhere else in the area so download the maps you need before leaving the house. That is all part of the charm of this town, though. Jenner is a sleepy little town where everything is slow and behind by a few decades. If you can accept that, you'll enjoy your stay. We kayaked the Russian River. We hiked the redwoods at Armstrong. We ate fish and chips in Bodega Bay. We saw seals and fabulous sunsets. It is a beautiful area of California and we all appreciated our location. The property managers are super easy to deal with and very responsive. I would highly suggest to them that they remove all of the nitpicky signs throughout the house. Telling me not to wear shoes on the thread bare and heavily stained blue carpet from the sixties only tells me that the owners don't want to put any money into the house, not that it needs to be maintained.

Gorgeous Views, Lots of Space
We had a party of 10 over New Year Weekend and we truly enjoyed Castle Craig. There was plenty of space to spread out, with enough room to find quiet space if one needed. The views from every room were breathtaking; we enjoyed sitting at the patio table on the deck in the mornings and having coffee. Waking up to the view of the sunrising over the river, from the lower bedroom, was a wonderful way to bring in the new year. We loved being able to use the hot tub. And we used the fireplace every night, which made the house warm and cozy. We'd definitely stay here again!

Everything we needed
This was the perfect house for our family Christmas. The location is amazing - beautiful views of the river, ocean, hills, and sunsets - and just a short drive to beaches and hikes along Route 1. The house came stocked with everything we needed and more, from books and games to firewood to a well stocked pantry. Russian River Vacation Homes provided great service and was quick to respond to all my questions, even the silly ones. Next time we'll have to stay more than three nights!

Breathtaking scenery, very clean, great space for all
More than enough room for 8 adults. We all enjoyed our stay. It was almost refreshing to not have phone service all the time (easily accessed down the road). The views town and scenery were enjoyed by all.
