Wine Country Visit

Fabulous property that backs up to a delightful creek that ultimately feeds into the Russian River. Easy access to dozens of wineries, a gorgeous old growth redwood forest, and quaint diners and restaurants. The owners were exceedingly nice, very helpful regarding things to do, and fully committed to a terrific experience. Amazing flower gardens all around this property!

Very hospitable hosts and lovely house. The house is very close to downtown, the kitchen is appointed with every thing you need. Hot tub next to the river is very relaxing. We were even welcomed with a delicious banana bread and a bottle of wine - what else do you need ? Thanks for such a wonderful stay in Guerneville & the Christmas light show. We would definitely come back

Relaxing, cozy home away from home!

We had a wonderful long weekend getaway thanks to Bryan and Richard! We were greeted by the host on arrival and check in was a breeze. The little touches meant so much to us - because we don't drink, the host subbed the customary wine with banana bread and local honey, which was so thoughtful and delicious! Bed was comfy, hot tub was a godsend, as well as the soaker tub. The house was spotless with the most amazing decor, especially in one of the bathrooms...! Loved our time spent there and hope to stay here again!

Hidden Gem

My wife and I were wrapping up our two week California/ Oregon trek. We were not ready to go directly back to San Francisco so we did a 2 day lay over here with Bryan and Richard. The house is perfect. Decorating and furnishings we immaculate. They thought of everything. We agree this is the best short term place we have ever stayed. If coming back to this area it will be our go to.

Charming, quiet, clean, and lovely

Side by side cottage is a perfect getaway for people who would like a little quiet time in Guerneville. The house is appointed with everything--as if your favorite uncles gave you their house for the weekend, but cleared out all their clothes so you had room for yours. It's really a home, not a boring hotel room, with full kitchen, comfortable living and dining room, and two great bedrooms. Also, 2.5 bathrooms make getting ready easy. And the neighborhood is quiet! A gem in the redwoods.

My stay was wonderful. The house is amazing and I found the owners to be the nicest people, thank you for the tomatoes. Sorry I had to run out early but I had a D.R. app. It is my wish to stay again before the end of the year.

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful home during our annual first grade planning weekend. Bryan and Richard, the owners who live next door, were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful—greeting us with homemade banana bread and a bottle of wine, which was such a special touch.The house itself is peaceful and relaxing, with a stunning garden in the front and a serene river view from the back balcony. Everywhere you look, there’s unique and beautiful artwork that gives the space so much character.It was the perfect spot for both getting work done and recharging. We truly hope to return again next year!

Perfect Vacation!!

We stayed at Side-by-Side for 7 nights in October. This was our favorite VRBO rental of all time (and we've done quite a few, including another rental in Guerneville). Bryan and Richard could not have been nicer or more accommodating- starting with the booking process, through check-in (complete with a bottle of wine and homemade banana bread baked by Richard), and throughout our stay. The house was impeccable- beautiful, clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything that we needed to enjoy our stay. It was also centrally located, which was helpful on our excursions not only to the vineyards, but also out to the coast. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation in a beautiful place!! We will definitely be back.

Staying here felt like an escape to a whimsical, magical place! After sampling the homemade banana bread waiting for us, we wandered through the beautiful rose gardens and relaxed in the hot tub beside a small stream. I love it when a house has personality, from the quirky decorations and Tiffany lamps to the clawfoot tub. An outstanding little sanctuary in a great location with an attentive host. Perfection!

We had a divine two days at this property-soaking in the hot tub, walking in the redwoods nearby, and having what we all agreed were extraordinary deep sleeps. Thank you Bryan and Richard for your hospitality including the wine and delicious bread. The roses in your garden are gorgeous!

Nice weekender

Lovely cottage close to the river and the town, everything exactly as described, and owners were great with booking, check-in, etc. We had kind of a busy weekend so didn’t spend as much time at the cottage as we might have liked, but all the time we did was great.

Wonderful Side by Side

Side by Side is a beautiful house not that far away from downtown Guerneville. Richard and Bryan are fantastic hosts who made sure we had a perfect stay. We were treated to champagne and homemade banana nut bread on our arrival. The house is nicely laid out and has all that you need for your stay. The hut tub was perfect in the evenings afer fun on the river. And the stars at night!! Just a wonderful stay.

Home away from home

This VRBO has become my favorite getaway spot. The neighborhood is quiet. The beds are so comfy. I could sit for hours relaxing in the front garden. This house is perfect for recharging from the busy rat race pace of real life. Can’t wait to return next summer!
