Vacation rentals with a kayak in Russian River

We had a great time at the Villa and would highly recommend it. The hosts gave lots of helpful advice and were available whenever I had a question. They were very generous hosts, proactively offering us early check-in and providing a home that was full of everything we needed, such as lots of towels and robes, blankets and pillows. The house is an easy walk to river access or downtown Guerneville, in a quiet wooded setting without traffic or neighbor noise. House amenities like the hot tub and grill were top quality. The river was too high for us to use them, but the house also came with a very impressive number of kayaks, canoes and paddles. It was great for a Misty spring retreat, but would be an amazing summer spot too!

I was so sad to leave the River House! It was peaceful and private even with hosts on the same plot of land. The house is beautiful and full of thoughtful details, and we loved spending slow mornings reading and playing piano taking in the natural surroundings. We originally chose to stay here because the house itself looked amazing and like a lot of fun for our dogs to play in the River, then we fell in love with Ukiah too. We hope to come back and kayak when it’s warmer out. Thanks for having us

I’ve stayed at this property many times. It’s feels like a home away from home, and the host responds immediately to my questions. I intend to continue choosing this place in my future stays.

My family and I stayed at Kim’s place for several nights, and it rained almost every day, but the airbnb was so clean, organized, and comfortable that we fully enjoyed staying in each night, playing games and cooking food. It feels very spacious in the main shared living room/kitchen area, so everyone can spread out. We also brought 2 family dogs, who felt right at home too. The location of this Airbnb is great too because it’s only about a 30-minute drive to both the Bodega Bay Area on the coast and the Santa Rosa wine country area. Highly recommend this airbnb, and would come back again!

Jodi and Dan's house is cute, clean and comfortable and we had the loveliest stay. The kitchen is set up perfectly and makes staying in for meals very convenient. The beds have nice linens and are comfortable and the master bathroom is particularly beautiful. There are speakers around the house that make listening to music easy and everything in the house is easy to find. Getting the kayaks into the river is a bit of an adventure with the marshy area, but it is worth it once you are out enjoying the river. The river really is the highlight of staying here. I also apprecaited the outdoor shower with warm water to clean up from the river. We hope to stay again because this house is a true gem. Thank you, Jodi and Dan!

Susan and Dave were gracious hosts. They greeted us warmly upon our arrival, helping us to feel at home. Susan has thoughtfully attended to every detail, there is nothing we were in need of during our stay. Their hospitality extended to a continental breakfast to get our day started. The sitting area at the river's bank is so serene. We enjoyed napping in the hammock and reading a book after a day of running up and down the coast. We are very picky about mattresses, and found the bed very comfortable. We left a couple of items behind, which Susan and Dave were very kind to mail to us. Thank you Susan and Dave for adding to what was a spectacular vacation.

The whole family had an amazing time. Kids cried when we left. We will be back!

Extremely clean house! The linens on the bed were pristine-clean, the bathrooms are the cleanest I’ve ever seen in an airbnb. The beds /pillows were comfortable. There were all necessary kitchen items and appliances to cook and clean. The house is right on the water. My kids caught 2 giant channel catfish (15 lbs each) and at least 10 brown bullhead catfish right off the dock using shad or hotdogs soaked in catfish nectar (sold at the local Walmart). They loved the rod holders on the deck and the giant net provided by the home. Fishing was awesome! We loved the proximity to clear lake using the kayaks. There is a book in the foyer that is helpful for local restaurants. The ping pong and games were fun. The arcade games were awesome too! Overall it was a fun and relaxing stay. We caught more off the deck than spending a whole day renting a boat in clear lake. The binoculars were available if someone needed, but the water fowl came right to the deck and were fun to watch! 10/10 rating!

We stayed for 2 nights here and we really enjoyed it. The weather was a bit cloudy and rainy when we were there but we still had a good time. The rain caused a few issues with the heater but Jason and Elaine were very prompt in getting it fixed asap. The place is very peaceful and beautiful. We felt very relaxed and comfortable. We would definitely visit again during the summer months when the weather is better.

House matches pictures exactly - well worth it for a nice getaway. The road is typical for the area - it is narrow towards the last bit but it is fine. People were driving large SUVs up the hill with no issue. It was nice that this Airbnb is dog friendly and doesn’t have crazy outlandish rules like others in the area. The only feedback I have is I don’t like when Airbnbs have extensive checkout rules. I always find it odd to pay a cleaning fee but also be required to do a lot of pre cleaning in advance like loading the dishwasher and stripping the beds. Other than that, no complaints. Would definitely come back again as it’s convenient for the area and close enough but still feels quiet and secluded.

We recently stayed at the lake house and had a great experience. The house has 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 downstairs with separate entrances. Perfect for groups of people who would like a little bit of privacy from each other. We had a great time enjoying the beautiful view of the lake and the deck was amazing for morning coffee and dinner at sunset.

absolute gem of a house with everything you need to do and use. One of the best hospitality I had

We had a great stay at the Waterfall house. The location can't be beaten; it's secluded, the views are great and it is within walking distance from all of the Jenner hot spots :) Baked goods and drinks from Cafe Aquatica were the perfect way to start our mornings. We also had a great time kayaking on the river with the seals! The kitchen was stocked well enough for all of our needs as a group of 5, and the porch and deck spaces were great for hanging out. The sofa bed wasn't super comfortable but it was good enough for our needs. The other beds were all very comfortable and we slept well! The hosts at the Jenner Inn were super responsive and helpful. We'd definitely stay here again!

What an amazing place ! We really loved our stay here ! Great location , super clean , comfortable beds , amazing views & right on the river, this place is a true gem & we can’t wait to return . Everything was clear & easy to access , we loved its proximity to both Guenerville & Duncan Mills for fun little day trips along with the convenience of nearby eateries & a market .

What a fantastic place! My husband and I enjoyed a long weekend and couldn't have been happier. The cabin is cute, cosy, lovely and very functional. It has beautiful old world charm with modern amenities like nest heating. The deck is large and was wonderful sitting by the firepit at night. The view of the river and the redwoods was captivating. The neighbourhood is quiet and lovely to walk around. Everything we needed was there and Amber was a delight to deal with and very communicative. We want to come back in summer time and think we found our favourite Russian River hideaway.

Our family of four with two kids (ages 10 and 6) had a wonderful stay. The house is cozy and perfectly well-appointed. We loved the hot tub and being surrounded by redwoods. We have stayed in a lot of Airbnbs and this was one of the best. We definitely felt at home. The kids loved the bunk room and had no problem sleeping in there-it was not too cold even with rainy weather. We just used a space heater to warm it up before they went to sleep. There is a fantastic bakery five minutes in both directions and it’s close to the ocean, the river, and the awesome little towns. Highly recommend!

Great relaxing home. The beds are comfortable and the interior is well appointed. Location is right on the river and has a great view of the redwoods and the river. Home is a bit older and kitchen supplies (knives and such) are a bit run down but nothing major to complain about. All in all a great stay and nice property.

What a wonderful spot! Comfortable beds, clean kitchen and bathroom, lovely deck, easy river access and all the toys. I very much appreciated the EV charger!! Thora was helpful and responsive. Can’t wait to return!

Had such a great time with this property lots to do during the day on the lake or near by activities! followed by peaceful quiet nights in the hot tub! Definitely recommend staying here if you wanna have a relaxing peaceful vacation.

If you are looking for a cozy space where you can wake up, walk down a few flights of stairs and be in the water, this is it. It is clean, cozy and wonderful. They have one kayak, which we used and appreciated (bring a second kayak so you can cruise around together - or some inner tubes). The only challenge is parking. There is one parking spot and our Tahoe was sticking out into the road a bit (we almost drove off the cliff trying to make it work). We highly recommend.

This river cottage was amazing! Quintessential Sonoma county living. We had a great time relaxing by the river and enjoying all healdsburg has to offer. The house was well appointed, all of the furnishings were very comfortable. WiFi was great for working remote. We wished the windows upstairs had real screens, but the curtains helped let us get some air in at night. Hope to visit again soon!

The absolute cutest little place! Felt like home away from home and the location is superb. Felt like you were one with Mother Nature in this cozy little escape. Amazing host!

great spot, very comfortable, lots to do nearby. would stay again.
