_________________
Jujube has been a much loved vacation rental for over 20 years.
Recently remodeled, Jujube has a brand new kitchen with high end stainless appliances, an updated bathroom with a marble top double sink vanity and a glass walk in shower.
Other updates inside and out: new larger flat screen televisions in the living room and bedroom, lots of new furniture, a new high efficiency convection wall heater, soft goods (curtains, bedding, towels and more), a new river view hot tub deck with seating area and two new kayaks.
Most recently we have added a private outdoor shower.
We are dog lovers, and the property is super dog friendly. Unlike most vacation rentals, we do not charge a pet fee. We've been able to continue that policy for OVER ten years now because our guests have consistently been very responsible dog parents!
Our general rule is two pups under 50 pounds. There is some wiggle room, as long as your pups are low impact on the property.
______________________________________________
Jujube is a stylish, light and airy one bedroom for two people only.
She is a thoughtfully remodeled and updated vintage cottage on the banks of the Russian River with river access (typically safe May to October) from the yard and down a metal staircase to the seasonal dock. River access is seasonal and never guaranteed.
______________________________________________
It is important to note that the Russian River is not safe for swimming or kayaking from November to April. The river level fluctuates constantly depending upon rain amounts, and the currents can be extremely dangerous.
______________________________________________
After parking in your dedicated off street parking space, you enter the property through a private garden and head down the right side of the house to the sunny riverfront deck, where you will find your outdoor seating area and wood-burning chiminea fireplace, gas grill, hot tub deck, lawn and river access with two kayaks.
There are no houses across the water from you, so it’s just the river and redwoods. Cocktails on the deck, a soak in the hot tub, swimming or kayaking in the river, or just enjoy the sun and scenery.
Entry to the house is via keyless entry code through the central pair of three French doors that open to the deck. Once inside, you will find a spacious one bedroom cottage with river views from the living room, dining room, bedroom and bathroom and a garden view from the kitchen.
Read a book, watch a movie on the large flat screen television or just relax in the living room in front of the wood burning fireplace, in the leather lounge chair or in the vintage rocking chair.
The open kitchen is well-equipped for your stay, ready for morning coffee and toast on the deck or a gourmet meal for two at the river view dining table.
The sun sets over the river and redwoods you see from the comfy, cozy bedroom. There’s plenty of storage, extra blankets and pillows, and another flat screen television.
Off the bedroom is the bath, with a marble double vanity, walk in glass door shower, extra towels and a separate exit to the deck.
Back outside where most guests begin and end their days at Jujube, the river changes hour by hour and season by season, from placid mornings to sunny afternoons to starry nights, which tend to be cool year round.
Light a fire, enjoy a glass of local Pinot. And welcome to Jujube.

6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
I rented this home for its river access and the sunny deck shown in the photos. Overall, it’s a pleasant property with a clean, warm hot tub, amazing private deck with river views, and a great stove. However, the deck didn’t get sun until nearly 4 PM, which was disappointing since I planned to spend time there with my senior dog who can’t stay by the river all day. The river access was pretty but too heavy with algae for pleasant wading. The deck also has wide gaps between boards, which made it unsafe for my dog’s feet. I had our large beach mat out to help with that but she still fell through quite often. She’s 20lbs. Wouldn’t be suitable for a much smaller dog. The kitchen floor was quite dirty on arrival, and the fridge hadn’t been wiped down—it was full of crumbs and sticky spots. The kitchen was very basically stocked; there wasn’t a pan suitable for baking brownies or making pancakes. Every morning was extremely cold, and I needed all the extra blankets on the bed to stay warm.There was also a large sign stating no dogs on the bed unless you bring your own bedding, which would have been helpful to know in advance (maybe I missed it in the info?). Luckily, I had an extra blanket in the car.Unfortunately, cigarette smoke from neighboring properties drifted over frequently, which was the proverbial straw that impacted our stay enough that I left a night early.Despite these issues, the house has many good qualities and I would consider staying here again.
