Gorgeously tucked away in a grove of soaring, fragrant redwoods, this cottage provides a peaceful retreat in the artistic hamlet of Villa Grande. This woodland oasis, which sits 500 feet from a beach on the banks of the Russian River, offers an open living space with custom woodwork and lovely touches of vintage architecture, a beautiful deck and gas grill to enjoy beneath a canopy of trees, and a wood-burning fireplace to curl up to on chilly Sonoma County evenings.

This home sits within a short stroll of a community beach on the Russian River, one mile northwest of the amphitheater and the riverfront park. The Northwood Golf Course is less than two miles east, and the tiny community of Duncans Mills is five miles west. Take a drive to explore the eclectic shops and restaurants in downtown Guerneville, six miles east, admire the rugged beauty of the ocean at Sonoma Coast State Park, 10 miles west, or spend a day (legally) foraging mushrooms at Salt Point State Park, 27 miles northwest, before catching the sunset at Timber Cove on the way back.

    We had a great time grilling over the holiday weekend and spending time at the river. Great location for cycling with Occidental and Cazedero within easy distance. Thanks for a great stay!

    We liked the house & the area. My primary issue was the washer & dryer that was listed under amenities was not available to use. Be aware if renting. We had problems with the keyless entry. Although the house was very clean, the dishes were not, we bought paper & plastic.

    A very cozy and clean home. Perfect for our girls getaway and fur babies.

    I gave a 4 star due to the run-down furniture otherwise it’s a beautiful area.

    A nice house. But not well cared for. We planned to have meals on the nice deck. We knew in advance that the oven did not work. But we couldn’t even use the BBQ grill because it was missing the electronic starter. And then only one burner would light manually, and not adequately enough to cook our planned meals. Silverware in the kitchen drawers were not clean. No screens on windows. The back screen door was crumbling apart and the screen itself was partly detached. The steps going up to the front door were partly rotten. The neighborhood is basically like Tobacco Road. Would never stay here again. Vacasa, the management company, responded to my messages about the issues, said they were sending out the local “team” to fix things, but no one ever showed up or called. We just left a day early out of disgust. To top everything off, the front door key code lock would not function on the last morning before we left. Luckily the back door was unlocked at the time. In summary - don’t trust Vacasa managed properties.
