The house was as promised with lovely views. It was well furnished and in a quiet country location. All three bedrooms and both baths were downstairs with an open kitchen/living area above. Both levels had great decks. We enjoyed our stay!

Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting and took advantage of the decks on both levels—the views really are something special. It’s great to hear the layout and furnishings worked well for your stay. We’d love to host you again anytime!
The outdoor area was great and it was nice that there was a propane fire pit and grill for use. The upstairs of the house is perfect for a group setting with its open floor plan. Location is great. Easy to get to the coast and the wineries. Only downside to the house was the bathrooms. There are no bathrooms upstairs in the main area. The bathroom with a tub is tiny and hard to move around it. Beware, the tub is super slippery too. The bathroom with a shower is bigger so you can actually move a bit, but man that shower is tiny. I am by no means a big person and I could barely cram myself into the shower. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
The property was clean and well stocked. Everything one needs is provided. I’d recommend driving to the river/beach locations as the walk is on a main highway road. Would definitely recommend to others for a nice little getaway.
We had a great stay - the beds were small but comfortable. The stairs are a little hard to manage with small children and elderly but otherwise great - and you can access from the outside.
Great kitchen, A/C, and walking distance to the amazing Hacienda beach. Perfect distance to the wine country, Thanks!

We enjoyed our stay at Cosmo Retreat except it was too short!! The Kitchen was a nice size and we cooked while there. The living and outdoor areas were so nice and got to enjoy them at night. The rooms and bathrooms were also comfortable and only recoemd to refresh the pillows that were a little flat. It was close to ocean and wine country!! Will book again for sure.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming house tucked away in the hills of the Russian River Valley. The area offers a wealth of activities, and the house itself is well-equipped to meet your everyday needs. It also has a great selection of games, both inside and out, perfect for relaxing moments. Our only minor issue was with the beds—they were comfortable for a night, but we found them a bit challenging for a longer stay of four nights. Overall, it was a delightful retreat!
