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.

The cottage is beautiful and welcoming. Kitchen is we’ll-stocked. Parking is harrowing, particularly if you drive a large truck.

We had a lovely stay with our family of 4 over Thanksgiving. Everything was cozy, clean, and comfortable. We especially appreciated the wood-burning fireplace since it was a bit chilly outside.

Adorable house with multiple areas for families to spread out. It was a lovely stay. You will have to drive about 5-7 minutes to monte rio beach. Walking is a steep climb.

The level of detail and care with each area of the "vintage cottage" home was quite a treat. ( including a Keurig downstairs by the bedrooms if one is a coffee drinker and doesn't want to walk upstairs in the morning.)You can tell there is a lot of love put into this home.There are many lovely nooks and areas for everyone to find a special place. The stand out room was the enclosed area in the trees. It really makes you feel like you are in the forest. (the first several pictures on the VRBO site)Some things to consider:-The stairs from the main level to the bedrooms are steep with shallow stair treads. They do have a sign stating to hold the rail however I can see it being tricky even for some able-bodied people. -The road to the home is narrow, especially depending on where cars are parked, There are only a few areas where 2 cars can carefully pass each other, which means one car will reverse down part of the hill in order for each to get by. Thankfully the road is not busy, everyone was neighborly and courteous, so it all worked out fine. If that makes you nervous perhaps avoid times when people are going to and from work and school.-The downstairs shower is nicely done and has wonderful water pressure.Enjoy.

About the host

Hosted by Dan & Shelly

Host profile image
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.
