About this property

The Tiny Tipsy Turtle

This delicious nest is both right downtown (behind Main Street and two blocks up from the river beach) and made delightfully private. by full enclosure. The interior space is tiny but fully equipped: microwave/convection oven, induction hotplate, coffee maker, toaster, 75" TV. Fully enclosed, roomy outdoor deck with furniture and BBQ expands the living area. A very special urban nest.

A very special little spot. The high privacy fences, and the security make for a very comfortable stay. Shops, galleries restaurants all the next block over. A five minute walk to the gravel beach and a nice swim in the warmish freshwater Russian river. NICE!!!!

The Tipsy Turtle was adorable, clean, tastefully decorated and had plenty of opportunity for fresh air. We grilled both nights we were there & the little deck & grill were just perfect. It was a great location to wander through town & to drive to Armstrong Redwoods for our hike. Just perfect!

Very charming place. Extremely clean and very well appointed. Within walking distance to the Russian river and many good restaurants. It only takes about 30 minutes to get to the coast and enjoy a beach day. Felt very safe and secure in this friendly little town.

Why they chose this property

My partner Rob and chose Guerneville because it is a beautiful place to live in every way. It is a very small and very gay community and thus sooooo friendly. Being surrounded by river and redwoods and good people. What could be better?

What makes this property unique

The Tipsy Turtle is both completely private and in the middle of town. The perfect combo!
