Modern and well-appointed, this Forestville retreat is a prime home base for wine-tasting, exploring the Russian River, and finding relaxation in the Sonoma County sunshine. No matter how you spend your days, you'll come home each afternoon to a tree-lined piece of property with ample space for lingering outdoors.

The front deck is outfitted with Adirondack chairs and a bistro table, while the back deck provides a gas grill, a large dining table, and a wonderful setting for an evening glass of wine. Enter the house by way of the living room, where you'll find a comfortable sofa, a flatscreen TV, and a collection of books and board games to enjoy. To the other side of the living space is an open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a prep island with bar stools for four, and a dining room table with seats for four more.

After a day spent floating the river or meandering through the Russian River Valley AVA, you'll be treated to a private washer/dryer to refresh your wardrobe, free WiFi to keep you connected, and direct deck access from two of the three sleeping spaces.

Beautiful house with off the beaten path location but easy to find. Well maintained property and very clean. Check-in was super easy. Comfortable stay. Fully stocked kitchen which we didn’t really use. It would have been nice to have some tea/coffee in the house

The house was wonderful, bigger than it looked on the pictures, really loved the neighborhood, super close to Santa Rosa but it felt far away. Biggest surprise was how amazing the mattresses are on the bunk beds.

Very nice stay
We booked this stay after Christmas with the hopes of enjoying some wineries and hikes, but we were totally rained in! This house was very comfortable if you had to be stuck though :) The only thing we were surprised about was the tiny one lane roads that lead up to the house - but luckily we didn't run into any other cars and made it safely. All in all, it was a great (very rainy!) stay.

Great house by the river
Very comfortable home for our family (4 adults and a 1 year old). Recent total renovation of an original "river house". Super comfortable beds and quality linens. Well stocked kitchen made it easy to entertain. Great outdoor BBQ on the enclosed back deck. Close to Mother's Beach and Speers Market for a quick shopping trip. Very quiet neighborhood made for a very relaxing stay. Highly recommended!

Forestville visit
this was a very, very nice house. clean Comfortable, great kitchen, bedrooms and decks. the disappointment was it has a wood burning stove which we looked forward to using. however when we arrived there was a sign on it, ' important not for guest use'.. disappointing. no closets or dressers but otherwise a lovely house.

We are going back.
When we got off the highway on a dirt road which leads to the house we were wondering what have we done. That we are very surprised. I have an updated clean, comfortable house. The house is out in the country and you can hear the birds saying all day long. It’s not far from Forestville or from Guerneville, so location is excellent.

Beautiful forest escape
This dog friendly rental was extremely comfortable and convenient due to good floor plan and furniture. Close to everywhere we wanted to go. I think it would be very difficult to find a better place in this price range. The apple trees are in bloom and the birds sing all day even if it rains. Be sure to follow the entrance directions or you’ll end up on a one-way road on the side of the mountain in the forest. We are seniors and had trouble figuring out how Vacasa works when booked through VRBO. You must check-out, you are billed by Vacasa. We didn’t know if we were supposed to put out the garbage (no) or take off the sheets (yes) until we received a text, I couldn’t find it on their website.

Nice house, lacking a few things
Overall the property inside is attractive , clean and modern. Upon further inspection, we realized that there were NO closets, wardrobes, dressers to allow us to place our clothes. Lived out of suitcase for 3 days. Was not what I was expectiing. The Cable was intermittent, and constantly buffering., The WiFi however,was good a We we able to watch some entertainment on my lap top with limited intrerruption. The several room heaters were a bit challenging, and only on the last day did they start to work., It was quite chilly up there, so good thing we brought sweats. The exterior yards presented as some what uncared for., Broken drieway light and fencing, and generally kind of sad compared to the house itself. Overall, not too bad for a first time with Verbo. WE are booked into Las Vegas in November, so I will have a deeper dive into the condition of that property to see if we will keep it. Thanks- J Jurancich

In woodland, secluded and peaceful
Not far from main road but quiet and woodsy feel. Apple tree was full of deep red fruit so I made apple sauce and baked apples so it didn’t go to waste. Still plenty on the tree. Loud chirping of crickets was sensational at night. Private second floor deck nice for dining, reading relaxing. Nice home, good layout. We played autumn fireplaces on youtube for ambiance, almost as good as the real thing (their fireplace not for guest use even though it features prominently in the photos..bit of a bait and switch). Definitely two bedroom if you’re wondering (barn door style for second room). Bathroom open onto deck if you like to be one with nature when nature calls!

nice home with some issues
the house itself is nice, good amount of AC and fans (as it was very hot when we were there). 5 min drive to the beach, cant walk there as it is a very busy road. One bedroom is not soundproof, which was a problem. Big issue was communications- very hard to reach Vacasa, had trouble getting my questions answered. And after we left have been trying to reach them and have not been able to.

Weekend Stay
I stayed here with my family over the weekend and we really liked the place. However, there were no instructions about the heating anywhere. When we checked in in the evening, the house was super cold and when we tried to switch on the space heaters, the plugs in the living room weren't working. Calling guest services to get help was also not an option because there was no service in the area. It took a while until we figured out the heating situation and the house warmed up. Since there are multiple rooms and limited space heaters it would have been nice if there was a more centralized heating system. Even a few more stronger space heaters (one per room) would help. Besides this, the property was really nice and a cozy getaway for some family time.

Nice Stay - dog friendly
The house inside was nice and clean. Had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable. They had lots of movies and games. The yard was not super amazing and I wouldn’t call it an orchard. More of a house with 3 apple trees in a neighborhood. But Steelhead beach was only 5 minutes away and Bodega Bay was only 40 minutes so it was a great location for what we wanted to see. Check in and out was easy.

Ideal place to stay in the Russian River area/Sonoma
This unit far exceeded my expectations. It was spotless, everything was new, all worked as it should. The instructions were thorough. We used the front and back decks for meals outside. The yard was huge and the location is private and quiet. I didn't want to leave but am looking forward to booking the unit on our next visit. A very very nice stay!!

Quiet, secluded, homey
We loved our stay at this home. It felt like we were staying somewhere people actually lived. So homey and comfort table. Great linens, thoughtful touches, and a fully stocked kitchen made for a convenient and cozy comfort table stay. Wish we could have used the wood stove but it wasn’t the end of the world since they had amazing HVAC systems.

Cozy hideaway in the woods
We stayed here with our 2 children (baby and toddler) and loved it. Our toddler loved the toy room and yard. It’s close enough to Guerneville and the town of Forestville, also close to Sebastopol. We had everything we needed during our stay and are already thinking about when we can come back to stay again!

Rustic Rural Retreat
This updated rural cottage is moments from hiking and canoeing entrances to the Russian River. It is a quiet and “dark sky” place to, as the sign says “ relax and unwind”. Spotty GPS and dirt roads to the place attest to its quiet ambience. The beds are extremely comfortable, the appliances and Kitchen cookware are great for a weekend or a week or more of cooking. We brought our own coffee which worked out on the first morning as foodstuffs such as coffee and other condiments needed for the initial morning that we have found in other rentals were not available but then a 12 cup coffee pot rather than a Keurig was much appreciated. Cabin itself was comfortable. The bathroom was roomy with warm water. A closet and/or place to hang clothes would be an important addition … a few shelving units available but filled with bedding and no hooks or clothes rods available in the sleeping quarters. A book which contained the instructions for checking in and out, when garbage pickup was, internet instructions and nearby takeout and delivery options would be helpful although an app with nearby attractions was sent at check out and I suspect will be available on checkin in the future. Check in and checkout process simple and response to issues in the place were rapid and satisfying. Definitely a place to chill out and because of its distance from town the ability to grill out useful. The apples falling onto the deck several times a day took some getting used to … lol.

Nice location in the Russian River Valley
We enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and comfortable. A couple of suggestions: you could use a new non stick skillet for preparing eggs. The bath towels:we were provided only 4 which was inadequate and the towels themselves need replacing. I was surprised that our cell phones (ATT) had no service at this location and that there was not cable TV. The bunk beds make a ton of noise which made it impossible to rest well (my 17yr old slept on the living couch instead-not ideal). I suggest swapping those out for something that is quiet. Thanks for a nice stay!
