Castle Crag is a place to relax from the bustle of cities and freeways, yet is still within a short driving distance to the finest experiences offered in California. On a protected hillside behind Jenner, this home offers incredible views of the river and the ocean. Excellent stargazing can be viewed from the upper deck (bring binoculars and/or telescope). A short walk to the ocean reveals resplendent wildlife including a seal rookery, blue herons, pelicans, seagulls, cormorants, sandpipers, ospreys, snowy egrets, hummingbirds, and many more. This beach house offers 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The master bedroom features a Queen bed and en- suite bathroom. The second bedroom offers a Queen bed and the third offers a Queen bed. These bedrooms share a bathroom. The fourth bedroom offers 2 Twin beds, and has a shared bathroom down the hall. If needed, a double futon is in the sunroom. Two decks provide space for a barbecue and a large hot tub. The main living area on the upper floor is a spacious sunny area with connecting living room, sunroom (family room) and fully equipped kitchen. All of these rooms offer incredible views of the Russian River estuary. Located in the quiet and quaint village of Jenner, Castle Crag is less than two hours north of San Francisco. It has magnificent views of the river valley, estuary and river's entrance to the ocean. As the village is somewhat sheltered from ocean breezes, pleasantly warm weather is the typical climate for most of the year, with occasional sea mists. For those interested in visiting wine county, this home is only a 30 minute beautiful drive along the river to the Korbel Champagne vineyards and many other world class wineries. There are excellent restaurants all along the river and the coastline between Bodega and Jenner. Swimming, surfing and sailing are 15 minutes south at Salmon Creek and Bodega (made famous in the Hitchcock movie The Birds.) Excellent hiking trails and horseback riding are only minutes away, as well as canoeing and rafting on the Russian River.

A/C: The house does not have air conditioning. Being near the coast, the night time temps drop and just opening some windows is usually enough to cool the house.

Unfortunately, we broke a cup and the Mr. Coffee coffee pot. We're happy to pay for this. Also, my wife may have left her bathing suit in the upstairs twin beds bedroom. If she did, could you mail it to us. We'd pay for that, too. Beyond that, we're very happy with our stay at castle crag and look forward to returning next year. Ira Phillips 510-367-6008 ##### Ira P.

Jan 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Jami W. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael R.

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. ##### mary w. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Karen H. Jun 24, 2022 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Karen H.

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! ##### Colleen O. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Judith B.

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. ##### Stacy D.

Feb 10, 2017 #### 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! ##### Janaya C.

Jan 17, 2017 #### Bachelorette Weekend We stayed here for my bachelorette wine tasting weekend with 10 women. The view cannot be described--it's simply unbelievable! Pictures do not do it justice! There was more than enough room for all of us, both sleeping quarters and just lounging in the house. With three full bathrooms, there wasn't a problem with everyone getting ready; the number of communal spaces provided everyone to both be social and the rooms provided a retreat when we all needed a minute away. The hot tub was fun, though the temperature needed to be turned up when we got there. The kitchen is functional, and we enjoyed being able to cook breakfast and dinner here--we even brought in a private chef the first night! Clean and well laid out. There's no cell service, and even the WiFi is spotty; but we didn't miss it! Would highly recommend, and we all think this isn't the last time we will be back. ##### Megan P.

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! ##### Suzi H.

May 16, 2016 #### 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. ##### mary h.

Mar 30, 2015 #### Another great weekend at Castle Crag A group of eight of us was back at Castle Crag for at least the fifth year in a row. Though generally modest, it has been nicely updated; it is clear the owners are taking good care of the property. We'll be back again next year. ##### David W. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Indian-Wells-Resort-Spa.h16130.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas I](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-I.h661796.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntington-Beach-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Huntington-Beach-Resort-And-Spa.h890502.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h23876.Hotel-Information) > > [Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Miramonte-Indian-Wells-Resort-Spa.h16768.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Embarc-Palm-Desert.h328421.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Mission Hills Resort & Villas for COACHELLA 2020 (1st weekend)](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Cochella-Stay-At-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Resort-Villas.h34078793.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Anaheim, CA](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Anaheim.h14910044.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, Indian Wells](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Renaissance-Esmeralda-Resort-Spa.h12274.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Omni-Rancho-Las-Palmas-Resort-Spa.h1703.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradise Point Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Paradise-Point-Resort-Spa.h3731.Hotel-Information) > > [Agua Caliente Casino Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Agua-Caliente-Resort-Casino-Spa-Rancho-Mirage.h2020169.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Half-Moon-Bay-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h602927.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Golf-Resort-Spa.h4124.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Orange County](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Orange-County.h15965.Hotel-Information) > > [San Diego Mission Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-San-Diego-Mission-Bay-Resort.h25598.Hotel-Information) > > [Ace Hotel and Swim Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Ace-Hotel-And-Swim-Club.h22864.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn By Marriott Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Palm-Desert.h201084.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Mission-Bay-Spa-And-Marina.h858.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Oasis-Resort.h1180912.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Anaheim Garden Grove](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Anaheim-Garden-Grove.h519819.Hotel-Information) > > [Solage, Auberge Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Calistoga-Hotels-Solage.h1640078.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas II](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-II.h57218.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Anaheim South](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Anaheim-South.h662857.Hotel-Information)
