Beautiful peaceful vintage cottage located 2 blocks from Russian River
Cozy Vintage Cottage in the Redwoods – Walk to the Russian River
Our 3-bedroom, 2-bath vintage cottage is the perfect place to relax and unwind in the heart of the redwoods. Just two blocks from the Russian River, it’s ideal for a weekend getaway or a longer stay.
The house is cozy, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything you need—whether you're cooking a meal, enjoying a lazy morning with coffee on the deck, or heading out to explore. You're only 5 miles from Sonoma Zipline Adventures, and close to great hiking, wineries, and charming towns like Guerneville and Occidental.
It’s peaceful, surrounded by nature, and a great home base for whatever kind of trip you're planning—whether that's adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both.

About the host
Hosted by Dan & Shelly
We’re Dan and Shelly, longtime Bay Area locals who fell in love with the Russian River and decided to create a place where our family—especially our kids and grandkids—could slow down and enjoy time together in nature. This cottage is our little escape from the everyday, and we're happy to be able to share it with guests who are looking for the same kind of peaceful retreat. Whether you're here to explore the redwoods, paddle down the river, visit nearby wineries, or simply relax on the deck, we hope you feel right at home.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it’s the perfect mix of peace, nature, and convenience. Tucked away among the redwoods, it feels quiet and secluded, but it’s just a short walk to the Russian River and close to great little towns. We love how relaxing it is here, you can spend the morning kayaking or hiking, then grab a coffee or enjoy wine tasting in the afternoon. The neighborhood has a welcoming, laid back vibe that makes it easy to slow down and really enjoy your time.
What makes this property unique
What makes our cottage unique is the cozy, vintage charm combined with thoughtful touches that make it feel like a true home away from home. One of our favorite features is the beautiful sunroom, where you can enjoy morning coffee or unwind with a book while soaking in the natural light and views of the redwoods. The house comfortably sleeps up to 8 people, making it great for families or groups wanting to spend time together. You get that peaceful, tucked-away feeling, yet you’re only a couple of blocks from the river and close to all the fun activities, wineries, and restaurants the area offers. We’ve worked to create a space that’s welcoming, comfortable, and full of heart.
