About this farm stay rental
Originally built in 1857, situated just across River Road from well visited Sunset Beach, and surrounded by an established apple orchard, is Petunia's Place. Owned by the same family for over 160 years, purchased in 2021 by a neighbor who saw the opportunity to restore the farmhouse from the foundation up, this is a true piece of Russian River history. Like a life size doll house straight out of Cosmo, chicly furnished by way of up cycled treasures and sparkling new amenities, being part of this home's story is a gift. Keeping to the original footprint, the main level is smartly planned to include a bedroom, good size living space with direct access to the back yard, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with shower and laundry area with stackable washer & dryer. Up the flight of wide plank local walnut wood stairs is the second bedroom, known as the Gingham room ( queen size bed ) and third bedroom, known as the Polkadot room ( 2 twin size beds ). Conveniently located across the hall from the bedrooms is a full bath with an amazing black and white tiled shower with rounded glass door. At the end of the hall is the Primary suite which offers ample space, tons and tons of natural light, and its own ensuite bath with a pristine shower. The Primary suite also has access to the New Orleans style covered porch which looks towards the vineyards and redwood forested hillside. The very private back yard, accessed off the dining room, has a hot tub, wooden deck, gas BBQ ( with spare tank ), and short staircase off the deck leading to the separate Foosball Funroom bedroom. The Foosball Funroom bedroom has a new fold out bed ( double ), homage to King Kong, a vintage game table for four and of course, a Foosball table.

We loved our stay at Petunia's Place. The house comfortably held our 3 generations. We loved the porches and decks and how seemlessly one could go from indoors to outdoors. We cooked all our meals and the kitchen was well-equipped. The kids loved the hot tub, and we loved the proximity to Sunset beach. It was a wonderful place for our very special gathering.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay for a quick weekend paddle boarding trip. Check in was easy, but my mapping app located this house incorrectly; the owner’s driving instructions are much better! We had no trouble with hot water in the showers, but the kitchen hot water was a little tricky. The kitchen had a nice layout, with all the pots, pans, baking dishes, utensils and serving dishes we needed. The grill was in good shape and we used it both nights. The beds were comfortable; everyone slept well and the road noise was not a bother, especially with AC. The futon in the foosball room was made into a bed for us, but one guest in our group didn’t come, so no one slept there. The foosball table was loads of fun.Bonus: the house is seriously cute!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2025
I'm going to start with the positives. The home was gorgeous and beautifully decorated, the beds were comfortable and the location was perfect for our needs. The many AC units made the house extremely comfortable on a very hot weekend.If you're planning on cooking you will need to bring everything you could possibly need as the house is not stocked with any kitchen pantry essentials, outside of salt and pepper. There were no trash bags( I had to call to get bags) or labeling of the outside cans to know which was garbage and which was recycling. The road is extremely busy, preventing you from having any windows open to enjoy cool nights as its simply too noisy and it never ends. The home sleeps 10 but only has living room space for 5, our party of 8 had to sit on the floor or at the dining room table. The water pressure was not great and several members of our party took cold showers because the hot water heater could not sustain even 6 showers. Showers were taken over a couple hours in hopes of preventing this and we were unsuccessful. If its pet friendly, its small pet friendly and the pet would have to be leashed at all times as the yard is not fenced.I did appreciate the late check out on our last day given to us as a courtesy for some of the inconveniences.
