Place was beautiful. Fully stocked like a home would be. Only complaints were there were a lot of ants and it would have been nice if it was more baby/childproof, especially with the glass and knives in the drawers and the stairs.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We’re really glad to hear you found the home beautiful and well stocked! We’re sorry to hear about the ants during your stay. Being in a rural area, they can occasionally make an appearance, but we do have regular pest control in place and will absolutely follow up on this right away to address it more thoroughly. We also appreciate your note about childproofing. While the home isn’t specifically set up as a childproof space, your feedback is very helpful, Thank you again for staying with us and for sharing your experience!
What an amazing cabin! Absolutely beautiful and exactly as described. The hosts added so many unexpected touches that were really appreciated. Beds were so comfy and the hot tub was perfect. We also loved the second deck to hang out and have a glass of wine and coffee! This cabin is up 4 sets of stairs which we had no trouble with but just pointing out in case stairs are a problem for you. Guerneville was also unexpected with restaurants that served tasty food. I highly recommend!
Amazing stay in the beautiful treetop retreat. The cabin is beautifully decorated and appointed. We had everything we need for a relaxing, peaceful, sunny weekend getaway. Already looking forward to returning!
Like being in a tree house. The property is well maintained and quiet. Excellent stay.

Clean, updated house nestled in a green forestry setting. We enjoyed the hot tub while relaxing outside. The property is down the street from the river.(chairs and tubes provided) Two min drive to Safeway. Bodega Bay is close by in one direction, and wineries such as Korbel are close in the other. We had a good time. Thanks!

They were not playing when they mentioned they’d be a lot stairs but the privacy and views were absolutely worth it. Everything about the house and location were perfect. The hosts were also easy to get in contact with and incredible friendly. We wished our stay was longer and will absolutely be back in the future.

We really enjoyed this place. We've staying in short term rentals in the Russian river area before and this one is our favorite so far. Clean, beautifully appointed, nice treetop vistas, nice hot tub, very dog friendly and good communication from the management company. Very nice creek across the street as well. 2 thumbs up.

The Best Vacation Homes in the Russian River Valley!
We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! The biggest pro is how secluded it felt being up in the trees while still being close to town. It rained during our stay but we still enjoyed the hot tub and how well stocked the kitchen was. We did have issues with the Apple hub device which controlled the outdoor lighting and had trouble communicating with property managers due to not having service. Owners offered to come in person to fix but we declined due to it being our last day. Would definitely stay again!
Sydney’s river retreat is an amazing cottage/cabin hidden in the hills and trees. There are a few stairs to climb to get into the property but reviews had let us know this ahead of time so we came with bags prepared to walk the short walk up. We arrived in the dark later in the evening and the stairs are on a timer which helped us see in the dark.
The property was very clean and tidy and the kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could need. There is a Safeway not far away for anything you may have forgotten. We also used the bbq which is just outside.
The bathrooms were clean each bathroom has a shower, toilet and sink.
Both balconies are beautiful in their own right and we really enjoyed sitting listening to the stream and birds in the morning and sitting in the hot tub on the other.
We did have an issue but the property manager was very quick to come help. After a long day hiking we really appreciated the quick response time.
There are so many state parks close by and the beach is only 20 mins down the road we loved exploring everything it had to offer and would love to visit again in the future.
