Great place to get away & relax

Our family has stayed here twice in 2 months & both times have been a wonderful experience. The house is a very relaxing place to stay if you are looking for a quiet get away or a home base for days trips to explore the area. It is close to the beach & town. Sitting in the hot tub watching the river is wonderful. My family & I will definitely stay here again.

Casa Lucia

We had a great stay at Casa Lucia - gorgeous views, cozy sunroom, hot tub on the deck, and lovely dining table for a large group. We love Duncans Mills - near the coast and Guerneville for excursions. I'd stay at Casa Lucia again for sure.

It was a nice home on a beautiful spot on the river. The hot tub and outdoor shower were lovely. Kayaks, life jackets and oars easily accessible. Wish we had more sunshine

Special weekend

We had a lovely time! It was the perfect home base for a long weekend. It is even cuter than the pictures, with a great kitchen set up. We really enjoyed the River view, hot tub, and kayaks. We were able to go for hikes in the redwoods and walks along the beach all within a short drive. Thank you for having us!

Beautiful setting on the river

We had a wonderful time staying at Casa Lucia during a weekend trip up to the Russian River. The house is equipped with everything you need, and we enjoyed the hot tub and made good use of the BBQ. The kids loved playing in the River Room, a sunny cozy spot to enjoy the view. Thank you to the great hosts!

Hot tubbbing under the stars

We had a wonderful time staying at Casa Lucia. Gorgeous scenery, peaceful location, and just what we needed to relax. We especially enjoyed hot tubbing under the stars, walking to Duncan’s Mills, and sitting on the dock in the rocking Adirondack chairs watching nature and sipping our drinks. We liked the house decor and all the available amenities. We hope to return soon.

Perfect get away

This trip reminded us of everything we appreciate about Casa Lucia. It was absolutely wonderful to be back, watching the Blue Herons float down the River looking for dinner and waiting for a deer to show up on the property. Several upgrades to the cottage were very nice to see. We hope to go back closer to Fall.

Great Getaway!!

This place is tucked away for a nice escape from city life. The river is basically your backyard and lounging in the spa on the deck watching and listening to that river is the best!!! The house is adorable and has multiple gas fire places to add to the charm. The house is right in the middle of Jenner and Guerneville so if you want to do some exploring it won’t take you long. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing stay on the Russian river.

Gorgeous views, cozy, clean and well stocked home, river access and ocean nearby, deers in the yard, quaint little town and our lovely and attentive hosts are just a few of the wonderful reasons to stay at Casa Lucia! I would highly recommend staying here if you love nature, peace and comfort all bundled into one amazing experience! We can’t wait to come back. :))

Great Property!

We had such a peaceful and relaxing weekend at this home! The house and the amenities were fantastic, the beds were comfortable and the location was great. We even got to watch the Starlink satellites on their journey into space from the hot tub! We did have one minor issue but Craig was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend this home!

Truly special

I’ve traveled the world and this is one of my favorite places to relax, go for walks, play in the river, and enjoy the lovely views. The rooms are artistically appointed and the entire experience has been inspiring. I will surely return... and soon I hope.

You'll never want to leave the house!

This was a gorgeous spot for a chill weekend with friends. The kitchen was well-appointed, and the lovely deck overlooking the river and dining room lent themselves to leisurely meals. Just a really easy place to settle into :). Note - write down the address and entry code before you get there, since you'll lose internet access a little past Duncan Mills.
