We absolutely love this cabin and its easy access to our favorite beach on the Russian River! The beautiful wood cabin is warm and inviting, with wonderful decks in both the front and back. It’s incredibly cozy, and the fireplace warms the entire house, making it the perfect place to relax. We had such a wonderful stay and can’t wait to come back!!

Property was spacious, clean and pretty well equipped, we liked it a lot. And additional benefit was the private neighborhood beach just 5 min walking away, which we enjoyed. All 5 stars! And we plan to come again next year.

Amazing property and great energy. Its a cozy cottage with lots of areas to soak in sun, relax, visit, etc. River access was amazing as well, since it was a weekday, we had the whole area to ourselves!

It was the cutest little cabin. It rained but we were able to stay warm by the fire. The walk down to the river was pretty easy. Tons of stuff to do nearby. We had a great time! I hope to come back again sometime.

We just spent the weekend at the sweetest little river house on the Russian River for my dad's 84th bday and it was exactly what we needed. It wasn’t a fancy, brand-new place it was older, rustic, lived-in, and full of character. You could tell it had been a real family home at some point, and honestly that made it feel even more special and comfortable.The location was absolutely beyond. So private, peaceful, and tucked into nature. Morning coffee on the deck. , paddle board wars on the river and fun bbqs, and the kind of place where everyone instantly relaxes and slows down.Sometimes the most memorable places aren’t perfect , they just feel good. This one definitely did.

Great weekend getaway by the river

The hosts were very accommodating for us on a last minute booking and we had a lovely time in the cottage. Access to the river was a big plus. A lot of history and charm in this place, would definitely stay again.

Such a lovely birthday getaway

De's cottage was the ideal spot for our escape from the fog and as a setting for a family birthday. Tucked away but close to so much. We really appreciated the semi-private cove.
