The Attic At The Red Chateau - Russian River Wine Valley


In the heart of the Russian River Wine Valley -The Attic at the Red Chateau is located on the top floor of an old river cottage with a private entrance. Upon entry, you feel as if you have stepped into a charming tree-house in the woods. With over 600 square feet (plus a generous sized sun deck) ) , and modern amenities, the space boasts unique angles, interesting design, many windows with views of the forest and waterfall including beautiful old “running glass” rounded windows. Highest speed internet. Although not a chateau and no longer red, the name has remained since 1929. The space invites you to curl up in the corner window seat with a book or sip wine in the sitting area in front of the stove for cozy winter relaxation. For those warmer months there is a private deck and a trail close by that leads you to a sandy beach on the Russian River where swimming, kayaking and sunbathing are popular– about a 7-10 minute walk through Steelhead Beach State Park and lazy river raft - inflate your raft at the park. The ideal location allows you to venture any direction for an abundance of wineries, great restaurants and lots of summer fun and activities. Electric car charging station at parking area.

A very happy secluded find. Just as the pictures depict. Clean and comfortable. Well-appointed with everything you might require. Reasonably close to excellent wineries and restaurants. Russ, the host, is friendly and kind. You will be happy you made this choice.

Slice of Heaven

We loved our stay at The Attic celebrating our 48th Wedding Anniversary. You feel as if you’re in a beautiful, well appointed, cozy tree house in the middle of a forest. Loved the furnishings and decor. Your every need has been well thought out and provided. Russ is a fantastic host and is available if you should ever need him.Enjoyed two wineries in particular that were about 20 min away: Wilson and De La Montanya. Picked up deli sandwiches at Big John’s market in Healdsburg and picnicked at DLM—very beautiful gardens! Nice to have The Attic to come home to. My new favorite place to stay!

Beautiful Space

'The Attic' was a beautiful place to stay. We didn't arrive until after dark. So when we woke up in the treetops the next morning, it was an amazing surprise. Their was plenty to do in the area and the restaurants were excellent. I would definitely recommend staying here

Perfect Stay at The Attic!

What a cool little spot - the unit is outfitted with everything you need, and nothing you don't need. The location is awesome, it's right near Steelhead Beach and a few miles from both Forestville and Guerneville. The unit does get a little hot being on the top floor, but a few fans and open windows make it perfect in the evening. Was even able to cook a few meals there. Absolutely 10/10 and will definitely return. Thanks Russ for the communication and assistance during the stay, can't wait to come back!

Our Favorite So Far!!

Charming-Magical-Adorable Nice setting in the trees with views and beautiful old windows. Nice job was done with the décor with special touches throughout – So cozy and comfortable. We loved the location close to wineries, river, and little towns to explore. Our host Russ was so helpful providing us with recommendations for wineries and restaurant. This is a good one! The worst part of our stay was having to leave, but hope to return soon.

cozy in the treetops

The Attic was a cozy place and just right for the two of us. It felt like we were sleeping in the trees. Russ wasn’t there but he made sure everything was ready and we had his neighbor’s contact info in case we needed anything (we didn’t).

Fun Space in the big Trees!

Warm inviting and thoughtful. Easy place to organize your belongings and prep a little food. Gorgeous tile double shower head bathroom with vented skylight. It is almost like being in a treehouse. I want to borrow Russ as my interior designer. Loved taking advantage of the EV charging station.

Being completely honest

I really wanted to love this place. Getting there was rough. Even though I had to printed instructions, I went in circles. Turned out my gps was correct. Parking was very tight and I had to block in a car that I didn't know was staying put. The Home i nice and very clean BUT, the kicker for me was the step inside. The bedroom, bathroom and living area are all a step down. That means, if in bed, you step up walk to the bathroom and then step back down. This is a HIGH step. Im 5'2" so stubbed by toe multiple times. I had booked the location thinking I was close to Sebastapol and comfortable driving distance from San Francisco while also beign on the river. That is not true. San Francisco is a 2 hour drive. Additionally you can not see the river from the house. You have to drive to it. My last issue was the privacy. There are lots of windows which are beautiful but there are no coverings so it felt very revealing. It looks to be a wonderful apartment and I can see it being comfortable for a person but, myself with my 18 yo son, we were not comfortable.

A nice weekend away

The place is and surroundings are beautiful. The bed was comfortable and the place was very clean. The supplies offered (hand sanitizer, etc..) were a nice touch. When we noticed there were no coffee filters, we reached out to the owner (just to make sure we were looking in the right place) and he responded very quickly. Unfortunately, there were none and it was too late in the day, and we were feeling too lazy, to run to the store. We figured we'd manage and improvise the next morning with paper towels. Lo and behold, that morning, a neighbor friend came over bearing the gifts of filters. The owner was unavailable to bring them to us himself, so he rang her up and she brought us a brand-new pack. She was lovely to talk with and we appreciated the owner and the neighbor's attention to our need. The one-way road is a bit interesting, but by the second or third time going around, it was a snap. We have a newer Camry- and had plenty of room to park. We look forward to the chance to stay again!

Relaxation in the Trees

A hillside gem! A few steps up to the sunny deck before entering the quaintly appointed pied-à-terre. Windowed on all sides give view to lush treetops. Trickling water from the koi pond below adds to its charm. A short drive to Healdsburg!
