Russian river house
Upon checking in, we immediately wanted to book our next trip to this house. It has been beautifully updated. Lots of natural lighting, seating and a wonderful kitchen. The bedroom was beautiful and even had a reading nook with a view of the Russian river and redwoods. The hot tub exceeded our expectations. Sitting under the trees listening to nature in a hot tub…. Nothing beats it. The large deck has a breathtaking view of the river. We did encounter a couple issues during our stay. The code to the detached laundry room with an additional bed did not work.We also could not get the fireplace to work. The owner offered to send someone over during our stay, but we didn’t find it necessary. Only major downfall was the water. All the running water seemed to smell of rotten eggs. I couldn’t even brush my teeth, shower, or wash my hands without smelling it. Hopefully that was just a fluke, because the rest of the house was magical!
