We had a great stay! We were especially pleased with the kitchen as there were many items we don't normally see in a rental- a dutch oven, instant thermometer, and a good variety of cooking utensils were some of the most helpful items we usually have to bring ourselves. And when we needed more kitchen towels, the manager brought over a few more right away.

A fabulous house amongst the redwoods! Spotless and a terrific hot tub! However, in the materials for checking in, they should explain how there may be periodic electrical outages. We arrived in the dark and had no electricity, no Wi-Fi, no signal, only satellite. Nonetheless, we had a great time in the beautiful house.

We quite enjoyed our time at the Wood Chalet and its location nestled in the Redwoods. From the quite well appointed and provisioned kitchen, to the comfortable beds everything was as described. A short walk to the Russian River and a less than ten minute drive to Guerneville, this was a great jumping off point for our time in Sonoma. When on of my young nieces left her diary tucked under the pillow when we left, the owner personally drove over to the property and helped send it out to be reunited with its young author in New York.

in the trees

My family loved our stay at the Wood Chalet.. Every room feels like you are in a tree house (but with great beds), and the cathedral windows in the living area is magnificent. Not to mention to hot tub nestled in the majestic trees!!

Great spot in the redwoods

We had a great time and did wine tasting, shopping, a spa visit and ate terrific food. The house is literally in the redwoods and is spacious and clean. The beds are comfortable. The hot tub is a nice addition. The property management company was responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful getaway

The place was a great escape into a more natural redwood setting. We were surrounded by beautiful redwoods and the place itself was so clean and modern and very comfortable. The beds were surprisingly so comfortable. So close to downtown Guerneville and what the location has to offer.

Birthday Retreat

Planned a trip to the area for my birthday with a few friends and we had a wonderful time! We all enjoyed the house - it was a perfect home base between our outings. The natural lighting was beautiful and the 3 bathrooms were a bonus. Would definitely recommend a stay here - just be aware of the stairs and steep driveway!

Fantastic getaway nestled in the Redwoods

The Wood Chalet was a truly lovely place to host my out of town parents and show them a lesser-known, but beautiful, part of California. It was quite comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed, and the surroundings were beautiful. Extra props for dinner out on the deck and the hot tub out back.

Great stay at the Chalet

The Wood Chalet provided our family with a wonderful and comfortable stay, as well as total convenience being located just a few minutes' drive from Guerneville and the Russian River. The house is in a great neighborhood, which although populated, still felt very peaceful, private and quiet. The house was well stocked with everything we could have needed to enjoy our stay, including toys to entertain the kiddos, and a playground down the street. We ended up extending our stay by a few days because this was such a great space to hang in!
