Clean rooms, amazing property, close to the areas we were visiting. We will come back next year. Only recommendation and if I missed it I apologize but a big push broom to clear off the steps, patio and hot tub area. We tried our best to keep the home clean and leaves, debris out of the hot tub but a garage style push broom would hwv helped. Again if I missed it my bad. Can't wait to come back next year!!!

Family Thanksgiving in the Redwoods

This property was very beautiful, comfortable and well-appointed for our family Thanksgiving. Many thoughtful touches made it even better, like a turkey roasting pan and baster waiting on the countertop. Everything was just perfect. Many family members said it was the best house we've ever rented. Thank you, Wright family, for many happy family memories to cherish!

Beautiful setting. The home was very relaxing with lots of seating areas to read. Loved the way the early morning sun filtered through the living room windows. The home had everything we needed to enjoy our short get away. We would reserve again when coming back to the River.

Beautifully decorated property

A quaint, cute, well decorated property. The hot tub and yoga studio were a big bonus, and well utilized. The bedrooms were a little small (no room for suitcases) and the beds were a little hard for our taste, but overall it was a wonderful property.

Wonderful stay, tween loved the casita

Everything about this rental was charming, and our tween loved having the casita to themselves for independence. We saw California quails hanging out in the little courtyard, and lots of hummingbirds. It was really nice having the dedicated off-street parking spot too. We had some plumbing issues (a major leak) in the kitchen and prop mgr was responsive and timely to address, though we were left with a mess to clean up. We'd definitely stay here again nevertheless. Quiet and relaxing.

Cozy river home perfect a weekend getaway

My family of 5 (3 young kids) and I stayed here for Xmas weekend and it was a great getaway. We had everything we needed, were comfortable and loved the quiet serene neighborhood setting in the woods near the river. There were a couple small things that needed improving but overall a great rental, even with a hot tub and separated guest house that my kids enjoyed. We would come back!

Great getaway for friends/family

The house is adorable! We came in March for a quick getaway for my husband’s bday. We brought our 2 year old and Doodle. Although the sun was out it was a bit chilly to sit outside but the camellia tree was stunning and the yoga room was a cute addition. We only used the main house but there is an entirely separate casita where you could probably fit another small family. FYI you have to drive to downtown.
