Excellent rental, wonderful owner.

There was a hiccup between the platform and owner, to where the owner was unaware we had rented the home for this weekend. Kevin had to quickly rearrange his plans to accommodate us and did so without hesitation. I'm sure it was a huge inconvenience for him, but he was committed to making sure we were taken care of. The home is wonderful and just as advertised. Because of stormy weather we were forced to spend more time in the home than expected, but it was comfortable and had everything we needed. The hot tub is great and private. The home is on the third floor so be prepared to climb those stairs. We had no cell service when arriving at the property so have your access code and any other info before arriving. We had to drive a few minutes back into town to get service. The wifi works great once inside. Thanks again Kevin!

GREAT LOCATION

We stayed a week for a family getaway. Plenty of space, very clean and kitchen is fully stocked. Deck is nice with a big jacuzzi. Location is great. You feel away from it all but you are so close to town. Having our own private dock with the canoe, stand up paddleboard, kayak and floaties already on the dock for us was great. The only small issue was the jacuzzi (which is right off the master bedroom) goes off and on all night. I'm assuming it's filtering itself but it was hard to get used to and we had no way of turning it off. Other than that everything was great.

Great location and view

The house is in a great location, overlooking the river and about a mile from Guerneville. We appreciated the kayaks, paddle boards and canoe available at the dock - enough for our party of 5 to all go out on the river together. The house was spacious enough for our family/group. The large deck and view were wonderful - we enjoyed sitting in the hot tub, grilling and sipping wine out there. The host also responded quickly when we had questions about the house. Some suggestions for improvement would be to update the kitchenware, sheets and towels and to clean the grill - it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. Also, having 2 twin beds in one bedroom instead of a full-size bed in each bedroom could better accommodate groups and families (i.e. our teenage sons did not want to be in one room and one bed). I think the couch in the living room was advertised as a pull-out, but it is not. Overall, though we had a great vacation and wold return to this house, hoping that the minor improvements could be made!
