There is an award-winning 9-hole golf course nearby, redwood parks for hiking, and many fine Sonoma county wineries and restaurants in close proximity but there's really no reason to leave Grandma's property! Grandma's House has seven large rooms including a very large kitchen, a large living room with fireplace, and a games room. Three bedrooms have King beds, one with a queen bed. there is also a sofa bed in the game room, 4 full bathrooms (en suite). Grounds include 1.25 acres of lawn, garden, redwoods, and two separate beach areas. A large two-level deck wraps around the back side of the house overlooking the river. Other amenities include a pool table, standup video arcade game with 10+ favorites such as pac-man, galaga, space invaders frogger etc, a closet packed with board games, video and book wall libraries, a piano, accordion, tamborine etc for the musically inclined, a stone fireplace(wood shed stocked)., and huge hot tub for your enjoyment. A canoe, two kayaks, paddle boat, as well as numerous water toys stored in a room on the lower level under the house are ready for a fun filled summer day on the river.

Sleeping Arrangements:
Two bedrooms each have a california king bed and a sofa bed. These two rooms have a view of the river and access to the main back decks. Two rooms on the garden side of the house have kitchenettes.

The spacious kitchen is fully equipped with most every kitchen gadget imaginable to prepare delicious homemade meals like Grandma used to make! The charming decor is reminiscent of your Grandma's house, with handmade quilts, Bluewillow china, etc. The living area reminds you of Grandpa's hunting lodge.

    Wonderful stay at Grandma's House. Host was great at communicating promptly, check in easy, great location on river with lots of amenities. Plenty of inside and outside space to be together or separate. Kitchen was stocked with amazing assortment of pans, and spices. Pool table, piano and arcade game was icing on the cake. Some things need looking into for repairs like fridge bins, some windows and doors don't slide well. Would definitely recommend staying here.

    We spent 3 days on the property. The location is excellent with easy access to the river for both people and 2 dogs. We spent a lot of time on the river swimming and kayaking. The property has large bedrooms and is clean. Please note that the property has a lot of miles on it. Many things need maintenance such a leaky toilets, ceiling fan that doesn't work, kitchen appliances in need of replacement, and beat up outdoor furniture. The location is great for time on the river so you'll have to weigh out what really matters to you.

    Grandma’s House is a lovely facility. Good separation of bedrooms from common spaces. Also, each of the four bedrooms is large, well equipped, and has a private bathroom. The house location could not be better! We spent a lot of time on the private beach and dock. Our children enjoyed playing in the water and befriending the local ducks. We would definitely stay here again.
