Surrounded by tall redwood trees, with a sprawling grass lawn and direct river access, Riverwood Cottage has everything you need to enjoy a relaxing and refreshing riverside vacation. As a guest of Riverwood, you can: \* Enjoy indoor-outdoor lounging with a 650 square foot deck overlooking the river \* Relax in the hot tub nestled in a stand of redwood trees \* Whip up a delicious meal in the fully-equipped kitchen \* Picnic on the lawn at the picnic table on the grounds \* Cross the footbridge over the seasonal creek as you meander down to the river \* Bask in the sunshine on the loungers or Adirondack chairs \* Bring your kayaks or canoes (or rent them nearby) to explore the River \* Roast S’mores and stargaze around the firepit at night \* Cast a line during fishing season \* Drive, bike or kayak to the coast at Jenner-by-the-Sea \* Watch on as the river rolls by and swells in the winter Arriving at Riverwood Cottage, you will find a cozy (700 sq. ft.), two-bedroom home with large grounds running right to the river. The living room is equipped with a comfy couch, a gas fireplace and a wall-mounted TV with cable. Sliding glass doors lead to an expansive, wrap-around deck with a dining table for six. The deck has numerous other seating areas and nooks for you to enjoy the sights and sounds of the Russian River flora and fauna. The kitchen is well-stocked with all the pots, pans and accessories you need to create a home-cooked meal, including service for eight. There is a friendly grocery store approximately a quarter-mile away and you can find a Safeway and health-food store in Guerneville, about 10 minutes away. Don’t feel like cooking inside? BBQ on the Weber and dine on the lawn or the deck. There’s a prep sink and bar area on the lower level, accessible from the lawn, for your convenience. A second bathroom is on this lower level too and is accessible from the lawn only. Enjoy a cool drink while you watch the children play. The lower level shower/bathroom is ideal for rinsing off after a hot day or washing the river off the dogs! Once you’ve snacked and basked in the sun, it’s time to wind down. Head onto the deck and soak in the hot tub while the stars come out overhead and the sound of the river rushing by lulls you in the warm water. The hot tub is tucked into the corner of the deck, surrounded by redwood trees with a view of the river. Relax the muscles you’ve used to swim, paddle, and bike through the day. Gather the family around the fire pit, tell stories, roast marshmallows, and let Riverwood Cottage help you enjoy your time together. When it's finally time for bed, you’ll sleep well on the pillow-top mattresses. Each bedroom has a queen-sized bed stocked with down comforters. The upper bathroom has a claw-foot bathtub complimented by plush towels and rugs for your comfort. Please note that the tub has high sides which may prove difficult for those with mobility challenges. Maybe someone in your group prefers to have their recreation on terra firma. Tennis anyone? The Monte Rio Tennis and Basketball Courts are a ten minute walk away. In the same center you'll also find a skatepark for the kids. Or, drive five minutes to the Northwood Golf Club where you can golf on a gorgeous 9-hole course designed by Dr. Alister MacKenzie, of Augusta National and Cypress Point fame. Please, no events or parties. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Smoking allowed outside only. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the sea - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Golf - Tennis - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, stovetop, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/22000000/21870000/21865800/21865713/a8df648b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casa Luna \~ Charming Vintage Cabin Retreat on the River, Spa, Dog Friendly!

The house is small but very comfortable and well-appointed. The owner was very responsive when I had a question. We especially appreciated the fireplace, view, and gorgeous dog-friendly yard. It rained a lot but we were very cozy in the house and loved watched the river rise. There is even a small store in walking distance. The oven is tricky so bring foods that are for stovetop cooking. ##### Deirdre P.

The grounds are huge and pristine, with a little path that winds down to the river. We brought stand up paddle boards and it was relatively easy to get out out on the water. The river is calm and great for kayaking, SUPs, etc (at least in late August). The house itself is very small, but well appointed and clean. You can walk to a local market, or across the bridge and explore Monte Rio. Sangeeta was a wonderful host. Highly recommend! ##### Corey W.

Jun 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An Oasis First, let me admit that I'm in the hospitality industry. In my travels, I'm always 'sizing things up'! This property is a sanctuary - a cottage set amidst massive redwoods and open, sun-drenched lawn on the river's edge. The cottage is immaculate, highly efficient yet comfortable. Everything necessary to a wonderful stay is provided. And Sangeeta is the best! She's always in touch, clear & concise with her messaging, and with warmth that has made me feel like I'm staying in the home of a friend. I just departed and will soon be booking my return. My "thank you" to all who make this possible. \~ Nancy xo ##### nancy l. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara H. Jul 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing Anniversary Getaway We really enjoyed our stay here! The owner was the most responsive person I’ve ever dealt with at a rental. She checked in to make sure we had everything we needed and responded to our inquiries immediately. The house is clean and has everything you need. The bed is also very comfortable. Our favorite part however was the outdoor area. There’s a great deck with beautiful views that is completely enclosed which was very convenient since we brought our dogs. The backyard is amazing! There are mature trees throughout and lots of great places to sit and relax and enjoy the views. There is also a fire pit and the owner left us a s’mores kit that we made on our first night. On the left hand side of the yard is a bridge surrounded by beautiful landscape that leads to a pathway you can take to walk down to a really nice private beach right on the river. We set up chairs at the water’s edge and loved watching all of the birds including a Great Blue Heron feeding and all of the ducks with their babies. We will definitely be back and hope to stay longer next time! ##### Sara H. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca H.

Where to begin….from the first time I reached out to Sangeeta all the way through the booking process and the end of our stay, she was helpful, kind and gave us all the information we needed to know. The cottage is clean, very well-stocked and even though it’s small it would be perfect for entertaining as the vast yard and deck allow for all the space that anyone needs to see, breathe and feel the peace that this property provides. We brought our paddle boards and walked them down to the river access. I understand that it may not be the most ideal put-in, as it was a bit muddy…but you’re about get into the water, so not a big deal. The river was fairly low at this time, which was fine, but the view from the house was just only a tiny less than it could’ve been. We didn’t use the hot tub, but how cool is that??? Sitting in a hot tub, watching the stars, smelling the redwoods??? Our only warning is, depending on the time of year probably, but bring some kind of mosquito spray and candles. We got eaten, badly, within minutes of going outside to make s’mores. And we should’ve know better. Overall, it was the perfect relaxing getaway to celebrate my birthday and spend quality time with my Mr. Wonderful. Thank you SO much Sangeeta!!! I love how everything was labeled and all the info in the binder was so helpful! This is a place where we’ll come back to. ##### Rebecca H.
