Adults, children and pets will enjoy the one-acre lawn and garden under the shade of the majestic redwoods. Follow a short private path a few feet from the lower deck down to the river and to the right to swim, play or launch one of the house kayaks. There are three sundecks on which to relax and read a good book, listen to the birds, watch the wildlife on the lazy river or enjoy the hot tub with spectacular views. Wildwood Garden has something for everyone. Wildwood Gardens is delightful and relaxing every season of the year. In summer, enjoy Monte Rio’s 4th of July fireworks from the hot tub, or from the spacious lawn. Build a campfire in the fire pit on the lawn and enjoy the long summer nights. Wildwood Garden is secluded from other houses in the area so you can enjoy your own private oasis. Fall still has warm days and nights and most of the tourists have gone home, but they miss one of the best times to enjoy the sunsets on the river that attract thousands of small jumping fish. Watch the birds as they migrate south. Winter is perfect time for a cozy and romantic weekend to enjoy the fireplace, a good book and a glass of wine while watching the wildlife and river float by. Take a long soak in the Jacuzzi tub and feel like all of your worries have washed away with the river. In spring, greenery abounds. This water front house has a short private path to the Russian river, just a few feet from the lower deck. Depending on river conditions, in the summer there is a small beach to the right at the bottom of the path. Guests may use any of the boats and life safety vests that Wildwood Garden provides. \[Boat use is prohibited in the high water winter months, usually between November and April.\]. Because the river is constantly changing our bank, we do not guarantee easy beach access. The house is rustic cabin but well appointed. Both bedrooms have queen size pillow top beds. The main bedroom opens to the deck area with a hot tub and river views. There is a small loft overlooking the living room for the kids. While our permit allows for six overnight guests, the house comfortably accomodates four people. The living room/dining room has vaulted wood ceilings and accent lighting. There is a flat panel TV above the fireplace, with streaming services, and a large sectional sofa. WiFi is available throughout the house. From the living room and bathroom you can access the river view redwood deck that spans the riverfront side of the house and a large picnic table and comfortable chairs expand your living space to the outside. The hot tub and BBQ are also on the riverside of the deck. The kitchen has everything you will need to feel at home. The bathroom has a Jacuzzi tub, separate shower and plenty of fresh towels. The house is equipped with an on-demand water heater so the last person in doesn’t have to worry about getting a cold shower and all of the rooms have recently upgraded heaters. For those staying extra days, a washer dryer is available. You can spend a leisurely afternoon wine tasting at nearby Martinelli and Korbel wineries or dozens of other smaller wine boutiques. Enjoy a 9-hole game of golf at the nearby Northwood public golf course or bring your bikes to explore the breathtaking road to the river’s end at the Pacific Ocean in Jenner. Cyclists from all over the world now explore the Russian River backroads. Antique shops, restaurants and art galleries await in nearby Duncan Mills, Guernevile, Healdsburg and Sonoma. A short drive takes you to the quaint hamlet of Occidental with old family restaurants in buildings dating to when the town was a booming railroad outpost. Please note for guests booking on a Thursday or Friday, our gardeners will usually spend about 1 hour mowing and trimming the lawn. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Golf - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing 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 ### General - Garden - Unit size: 900 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Contactless check-in available Minimum check-in age: 25 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions An adult age 18 or older must assume all liability for the booking You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Rules Quite Hours: Sonoma County Regulations mandate quite hours between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., no amplified music.
