Vacation rentals with a kayak in Wine Country

Stayed here for anniversary surprise for my husband. My husband said this is great, this is awesome over 50 times during our stay. Thank you babe, thank you babe, you’re the best wife. He seemed like a kid in a chocolate factory. The river reminded him of fishing as a boy with his father. The back of the home (deck area is shaped like a ship) very unique. The deck is partially over the water. My husband is a fisherman and this is why I chose this place. This home is inviting and family oriented. Peaceful, quiet, private and serene surroundings. My husband already wants to return when weather is warmer. Great place for a champagne brunch with mimosas, wine, salmon and lox, and soft jazz in the background. Fun for kayaking, swimming, biking, and counting the stars. Lots of wineries in the area. I was so relaxed, I felt like I had a spa day! Highly recommend! You won’t regret it.

We had a great time at the Villa and would highly recommend it. The hosts gave lots of helpful advice and were available whenever I had a question. They were very generous hosts, proactively offering us early check-in and providing a home that was full of everything we needed, such as lots of towels and robes, blankets and pillows. The house is an easy walk to river access or downtown Guerneville, in a quiet wooded setting without traffic or neighbor noise. House amenities like the hot tub and grill were top quality. The river was too high for us to use them, but the house also came with a very impressive number of kayaks, canoes and paddles. It was great for a Misty spring retreat, but would be an amazing summer spot too!

I was so sad to leave the River House! It was peaceful and private even with hosts on the same plot of land. The house is beautiful and full of thoughtful details, and we loved spending slow mornings reading and playing piano taking in the natural surroundings. We originally chose to stay here because the house itself looked amazing and like a lot of fun for our dogs to play in the River, then we fell in love with Ukiah too. We hope to come back and kayak when it’s warmer out. Thanks for having us

My family and I stayed at Kim’s place for several nights, and it rained almost every day, but the airbnb was so clean, organized, and comfortable that we fully enjoyed staying in each night, playing games and cooking food. It feels very spacious in the main shared living room/kitchen area, so everyone can spread out. We also brought 2 family dogs, who felt right at home too. The location of this Airbnb is great too because it’s only about a 30-minute drive to both the Bodega Bay Area on the coast and the Santa Rosa wine country area. Highly recommend this airbnb, and would come back again!

Awesome place for a weekend away. Had a golf trip with 10 people, and were able to comfortably.

Jodi and Dan's house is cute, clean and comfortable and we had the loveliest stay. The kitchen is set up perfectly and makes staying in for meals very convenient. The beds have nice linens and are comfortable and the master bathroom is particularly beautiful. There are speakers around the house that make listening to music easy and everything in the house is easy to find. Getting the kayaks into the river is a bit of an adventure with the marshy area, but it is worth it once you are out enjoying the river. The river really is the highlight of staying here. I also apprecaited the outdoor shower with warm water to clean up from the river. We hope to stay again because this house is a true gem. Thank you, Jodi and Dan!

Truly a unique and fun stay. We don’t live too far away but decided on a last minute staycation with the kids for spring break. Really wish I could have booked longer. We had so much fun crabbing and fishing off the amazing deck and watching the oceanic wildlife there is completely mesmerizing. Matthew was so responsive and helpful- clearly a pro at being a top Airbnb host. Hope to be back very soon!

The house was beautiful and a restful place away from the city. I agree with other reviews and it was super clean. My small family thoroughly enjoyed the house and its proximity to hiking trails and Healdsburg downtown.

We stayed for 2 nights here and we really enjoyed it. The weather was a bit cloudy and rainy when we were there but we still had a good time. The rain caused a few issues with the heater but Jason and Elaine were very prompt in getting it fixed asap. The place is very peaceful and beautiful. We felt very relaxed and comfortable. We would definitely visit again during the summer months when the weather is better.

House matches pictures exactly - well worth it for a nice getaway. The road is typical for the area - it is narrow towards the last bit but it is fine. People were driving large SUVs up the hill with no issue. It was nice that this Airbnb is dog friendly and doesn’t have crazy outlandish rules like others in the area. The only feedback I have is I don’t like when Airbnbs have extensive checkout rules. I always find it odd to pay a cleaning fee but also be required to do a lot of pre cleaning in advance like loading the dishwasher and stripping the beds. Other than that, no complaints. Would definitely come back again as it’s convenient for the area and close enough but still feels quiet and secluded.

We recently stayed at the lake house and had a great experience. The house has 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 downstairs with separate entrances. Perfect for groups of people who would like a little bit of privacy from each other. We had a great time enjoying the beautiful view of the lake and the deck was amazing for morning coffee and dinner at sunset.

absolute gem of a house with everything you need to do and use. One of the best hospitality I had

We enjoyed our time here. It is very rural, quiet and peaceful. Laytonville is a small town so the grocery store is very basic. It is only about 10 minutes away and open until 11. We were traveling with small children and arrived later in the day. The kids were hot and hungry and we had not had a chance to get food. The woman handling check in had a plate of fruit and was incredibly gracious to share to help keep them going until we could run in and grab groceries. She also called ahead to confirm how late they would be open. (4th of July) The walk to the private lake is not difficult and there are multiple kayaks you can use. In addition, it was during an incredible heatwave and there were regular check-ins to make sure all was well and everyone had water. There is no air conditioning but there are many fans that helped it cool off at night. Any issues or concerns were dealt with timely and appropriately. The service was truly above and beyond.

My partner and I enjoyed a lot this dream Airbnb. We had a very relaxing weekend and the place was very well decorated, cosy and surrounding by nature. We can't wait to come back

We had a great stay at the Waterfall house. The location can't be beaten; it's secluded, the views are great and it is within walking distance from all of the Jenner hot spots :) Baked goods and drinks from Cafe Aquatica were the perfect way to start our mornings. We also had a great time kayaking on the river with the seals! The kitchen was stocked well enough for all of our needs as a group of 5, and the porch and deck spaces were great for hanging out. The sofa bed wasn't super comfortable but it was good enough for our needs. The other beds were all very comfortable and we slept well! The hosts at the Jenner Inn were super responsive and helpful. We'd definitely stay here again!

What an amazing place ! We really loved our stay here ! Great location , super clean , comfortable beds , amazing views & right on the river, this place is a true gem & we can’t wait to return . Everything was clear & easy to access , we loved its proximity to both Guenerville & Duncan Mills for fun little day trips along with the convenience of nearby eateries & a market .

Great relaxing home. The beds are comfortable and the interior is well appointed. Location is right on the river and has a great view of the redwoods and the river. Home is a bit older and kitchen supplies (knives and such) are a bit run down but nothing major to complain about. All in all a great stay and nice property.

What a wonderful spot! Comfortable beds, clean kitchen and bathroom, lovely deck, easy river access and all the toys. I very much appreciated the EV charger!! Thora was helpful and responsive. Can’t wait to return!

If you are looking for a cozy space where you can wake up, walk down a few flights of stairs and be in the water, this is it. It is clean, cozy and wonderful. They have one kayak, which we used and appreciated (bring a second kayak so you can cruise around together - or some inner tubes). The only challenge is parking. There is one parking spot and our Tahoe was sticking out into the road a bit (we almost drove off the cliff trying to make it work). We highly recommend.

The place is exactly like in the photos and description. Quiet spot with everything you need for a short getaway. Thanks, Madison!

Beautiful, peaceful and lovely stay. This was a fantastic place and one of the best Airbnb stays in my experience. Paulette is a friendly host and has included so many extras in her rental. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you would need and she has stocked the bathrooms with many extras. The location is beautiful with decks and windows that view the lake. The completely fenced back yard with the private beach really was beautiful and relaxing. We could let our dogs run free and they loved it. There are California buckeye trees there so I picked up the fruit that had dropped so my dog wouldn't chew them. There is a nice pergola on the beach so we could sit in the shade while the dogs played. Do try the Crestview walk listed in the binder. We drove to the dirt road, parked and had a really nice dog walk. We also walked the Redbud trail off of Hwy 20 which was enjoyable. I would definitely stay here again.

This river cottage was amazing! Quintessential Sonoma county living. We had a great time relaxing by the river and enjoying all healdsburg has to offer. The house was well appointed, all of the furnishings were very comfortable. WiFi was great for working remote. We wished the windows upstairs had real screens, but the curtains helped let us get some air in at night. Hope to visit again soon!

Cherie was a fabulous host and was very accommodating for any request we had. The Cabin is exactly as described and it was the perfect getaway to visit some vineyards. The courtyard is very private and was perfect for enjoying the hot tub. Be sure to stop in at the Rio Nido Lodge for amazing Cocktails and the food was so good with really reasonable prices! 5 star stay all the way!

great spot, very comfortable, lots to do nearby. would stay again.
