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.

Wonderful holiday getaway!

What a great place!! We routinely leave our coast home to avoid subjecting our dog to all the illegal fireworks so we've been to Guerneville a few times -but what a hidden gem this is! Thoughtful upgrades throughout with a lovely private front deck and super close to Main St -not to mention how communicative the owners are -make this a top choice for anyone visiting here!

Sweet spot!

The Tiny Tipsy Turtle was perfect for our needs. Well designed to make use of a small space. As 2 adults and a large dog with a crate, we were just fine. The cleanliness and great use of space made our stay lovely. Having the deck/patio area was a nice bonus. Location was wonderful: walking distance to shopping, eateries and a beach.

The Tiny Turtle was a perfectly sized and located getaway for two adults taking a mini-vacation in Guerneville and the surrounding areas. The cottage had everything we needed, including high quality linens, furniture, appliances, hair care, etc, and a very nice and accommodating host, Inga. We loved being within walking distance of a great coffee bar/cafe plus bookstore, library, many cute shops and diners, and the main road in and out of town, plus up to the wonderful Armstrong Redwoods. The tiny outdoor patio with adorable fairy lights was a lovely place to start the morning and end the evening. We really cannot say enough good things about what a nice place to stay this was, how nice Inga was, or how great the location was. :)

Incredibly cozy weekend!

Had such a wonderful stay here. It felt like a private bungalow with a great little outside area right in the heart of town. We could walk to restaurants and shops, and then dip back in to rest. 10/10

Loved it!

We're already thinking about when we can go back. This was relaxing and private stay with easy access to shore, redwoods, wineries and restaurants...or to just stay and relax in the comfortable spaces inside and out of the cottage. Wonderful and very responsive hosts! Thank you

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!
