    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was the perfect home base for a fun-filled weekend in Guerneville. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the sweet scent of the apple tree in full bloom—it was pure magic walking into the courtyard!The house itself is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable. The kitchen is amazingly well-stocked, making it easy to settle in and feel right at home.There were three of us this trip, but there’s plenty of space for a larger group. I also housed some of our Women’s Weekend staff here and was so glad to have placed them somewhere so thoughtfully cared for and well-appointed.There are so many extras throughout the home that made it feel special—and next time, we’re definitely playing the arcade game in the casita!Highly recommend. We’re already dreaming of our next stay.

    Perfectly uplifting and full of comfort.
    8.0 / 10.0
    Everything about this rental was charming, and our tween loved having the casita to themselves for independence. We saw California quails hanging out in the little courtyard, and lots of hummingbirds. It was really nice having the dedicated off-street parking spot too. We had some plumbing issues (a major leak) in the kitchen and prop mgr was responsive and timely to address, though we were left with a mess to clean up. We'd definitely stay here again nevertheless. Quiet and relaxing.
    10.0 / 10.0
    This was a perfect rental for our family

    10.0 / 10.0
    This property was very beautiful, comfortable and well-appointed for our family Thanksgiving. Many thoughtful touches made it even better, like a turkey roasting pan and baster waiting on the countertop. Everything was just perfect. Many family members said it was the best house we've ever rented. Thank you, Wright family, for many happy family memories to cherish!
