Boathouse ~ On River, Deck, Steps to Beach, Family Dog Friendly!

Boathouse is a classic 3 bedroom, 2 bath, riverfront home featuring a two level deck with river views. It is conveniently located next to a large sandy neighborhood beach. Boathouse is a one level home (all rooms situated on the upper level) with wood floors, a living room with a fireplace, 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and a downstairs basement with a pool table and ping pong table.

Enjoy river views as you dine al fresco on the large back deck or relax on the upper sitting deck. Boathouse offers a yard area with river views and a brand new floating dock(photos of dock coming soon)! Additionally, it is just a short walk to a sandy, dog-friendly neighborhood beach. The home includes a double and 2 single kayaks (available mid-June through mid-September).

Know Before You Book:

Maximum Occupancy and Quiet Hours: The maximum occupancy at Boathouse is 7 people. Quiet hours are from 10:00 pm until 7:00 am. Outdoor amplified sound is prohibited at any time.

Parking: There is parking in the driveway for 2-3 cars. RVs, trailers and campers are prohibited, per the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance.

Bed Sizes: First bedroom: King bed; Second bedroom: Queen bed; Third bedroom: 1 Queen, 1 Twin bed

Heat Sources: Central heat, wood burning fireplace (no firewood or kindling provided).

Rec/Game Room: The game room is an unheated, uninsulated space. Temperature varies throughout the year.

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.

Docks and beaches are seasonal only and available from mid-June to mid-September providing the summer dams are in. Canoes, kayaks, paddleboats and rowboats that are provided in some of our homes are also available from mid-June to mid-September. The river is usually too swift for boating in the winter and many docks and beaches are under water until late spring.

Clean and comfortable with river access
We had a lovely weekend here with our pup, who of course loved the river. Quiet neighborhood, lots of water toys if you have kids.

Perfect Summer Getaway
Hands down one of our favorite family summer vacations. The cottage itself was stocked well and provided a comfortable spot for cooking, sleeping, and out of the sun activities (board games, cards, puzzles, pool, and ping pong). The real treasure of this property is the direct access to the river including your own little floating dock. We spent hours multiple times a day on the water. The hosts provide a variety of floating toys in addition to a couple of river kayaks. I really can't speak highly enough of our experience staying at the Boathouse. It was R&R at its best. Thank you!!

Great location on the Russian River
We loved our stay and hope to return. This house has great water access from a private dock and a large deck. We really appreciated having access to 3 kayaks for our use. We brought many bikes with us and it was great to be able to secure them in the garage (the property manager originally told us that guests didn't have access to the garage, but fortunately that wasn't true. One upgrade suggestion would be to add code key remote so the garage can be opened from outside, rather than only through the Recreation Room).

A wonderful retreat
Beautiful getaway right on the river. Kayaks and an expansive game room with ping pong and pool made for excellent entertainment throughout the stay. About a 20 min walk from town, we made the trek daily for coffee, a great way to wake up.

This home is perfect for a group of folks looking to enjoy the Russian River!!! The dog friendly property has the perfect attention to detail like locks to keep furry friends on the deck and outdoor shower to rinse sandy toes. We look forward to returning back!

Peaceful setting
Beautiful location on the Russian river. Quiet and peaceful surrounded by trees. Large fenced yard with two decks overlooking the river. Access to the river was down a set of stairs and a short steep bank or walk past the empty lot next door and down a path to a neighborhood beach. Some road noise across the river, but not enough to bother us. The house was large and comfortable and very clean when we arrived. The bathrooms are newly remodeled and the shower was great. Beds were super comfy. The kitchen was small but well stocked. A bit of a challenge for cooking with a tight layout and an oven that didn't work well, but that was a good excuse not to spend time cooking when we could be outdoors enjoying the river. Its only a short drive into Guerneville for groceries and take out, but we barely left the house as we had everything we needed right there.

On the river
Kitchen really in need of a couple of new frying pans. Handle on one ready to fall off. Lamp by front door needs a bulb. We all enjoyed hula hoops, ping pong and pool table.

Great get away
The Boat House is a great get away house. The location is great - quick walk to the beach, river view, and an easy stroll into town for coffee and the morning newspaper. The house itself is well-stocked, often unusual to find in a rental home. Having the kayaks, canoe, and rec room available really make this an enjoyable spot to spend a few days.

Great getaway
Had a great time. Took our 3 small kids who played safely on the large enclosed deck. Will definitely go back with friends next time so we can have "adult" time and relax watching the rafters go by on the river. Loved the BBQ! Michele W Turlock Ca

Clean and Bigger than it appears
We had a great time at the Boat House. We were a little worried the cabins interior was on the small side from the photos, one of our friends is 6'7", and other than the showers the cabin was perfect. The game room downstairs is also in better shape than the impression the photos give off. This cabin is great. The view and amount of space on the decks is spectacular, it felt like another living room looking straight at the river. River access is easy, entrance is just next to the house, and a short walk down. It only took us 15min to walk home from downtown. Really a spectacular cabin.
