Located within a mile of downtown Guerneville and the Russian River, Valley Vista is a secluded forest bungalow perfect for a family or couples get-away – or even a scenic work retreat. Towering redwoods surround this home, which has been fully renovated with contemporary furnishings and up-to-date amenities even as it retains the feel of a picturesque river cabin.

Valley Vista delivers an experience of the Russian River Valley’s enchanting landscape in a setting both luxurious and highly private. With the home set atop a wonderfully landscaped slope, the views extend for miles to the West across the rolling hills. The backyard cascades down the hillside over three distinct levels, each with generous seating areas and a combination of sun and shade. On the main residence level is an expansive deck with a professional-grade gas grill, a teak dining set, an outdoor heater, and a full outdoor living area. Down one flight of stairs is a hot tub with room for six, as well as chaise lounges for relaxing after your soak. And one level below the hot tub is yet another patio offering the shelter of an expansive pergola, as well as a picnic table and a pair of hammocks. Whether hosting a family reunion or break-out sessions during a work retreat, this multi-tiered backyard invites a larger group to circulate as more intimate conversations and small-group activities emerge in the various seating areas. 27 solar panels and Tesla battery back-ups let you continue the fun even in the event of a power outage. We welcome up to two well-behaved dogs under 50 pounds to enjoy this property with you. Book your stay today and elevate your getaway with the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and serenity.
The immediate area offers a panorama of activities for your enjoyment. In addition to the Russian River and downtown Guerneville within walking distance, Valley Vista is a short drive from the Pacific coast, scenic hiking trails, golf courses, and celebrated wineries where you can savor the Russian River Valley and all Sonoma County has to offer. After a day spent enjoying this fabulous region, the comforts of Valley Vista will welcome you back to total relaxation in your home away from home.

Nice getaway in Guerneville
We had never been to the Russian River before, really, and we enjoyed getting away. The house was nice, family friendly (we had our 10-year-old with us), and very comfortable. We made use of the games, and we enjoyed being together in a relaxing environment.

Too far from the river
I got the impression from the pictures that the property was near the river. It was at the top of a hill, steep drive to the top, sheer drop-off in the forest behind the property. It was beautiful, literally living in a forest, but it was remote from the river and the ocean. We did love seeing the Armstrong Redwoods and they were just a few minutes from the property.

Very nice property with a tranquil vibe!
We found the property clean and comfortable. The A/C worked well to keep the temperature very consistent, and the backyard is huge and feels very private. While the property is very close to Guerneville downtown, it's a pretty steep hike for the last quarter mile. Note that the 220v car charging receptacle is NEMA 14-50. Many common 220v EV charging cables will be NEMA 14-30, and the plug will not fit. (the bottom prong will be straight for 14-50, and an L shape for 14-30--common for electric clothes dryers)

Clean, comfortable getaway
We had a nice stay in Guerneville. The home was clean and well appointed. We did notice there appears to be an apartment underneath the home which we didn't see on the listing, but it was locked and no one was there. Also, the A/C works however by default it is set to turn itself off when you leave the home, so when we got back after a long day away the house was very hot and took most of the night to cool down. We were able to change the setting for the second day and everything was fine. Overall we were very pleased with our stay and would come back again. Thank you!

Relaxing Spot Near Downtown
This was the perfect spot for a family get away. My wife and I had my parents and brother out for a visit in the bay area and wanted a getaway to unwind. The house was well equipped for cooking dinners, relaxing, and catching up with our loved ones. It was close to downtown and the redwoods for a choose your own adventure type hike. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Blend of Comfort and Privacy
This property is a hidden gem, offering a perfect blend of privacy and comfort in a picturesque neighborhood. The property has top-notch amenities and a cozy, welcoming ambiance. It was super clean and thoughtfully arranged, making it feel like a home away from home. The best part was the well equipped kitchen and plush living areas added to the comfort. The surroundings contribute to a restful and rejuvenating visit. There are a lot of vegetarian options around the town. It is an ideal retreat for those seeking tranquility with modern conveniences. I highly recommend it and eagerly await my next visit.

Beautiful home, great location
Even though there are neighbors on either side, the homes are scattered and the landscape provides a privacy barrier. The views are nice and the property was laid out well. Hot tub was nice in the cold night. We brought our dogs and they loved running all around. The neighbors next door have dogs that bark and snarl like they want to find a way through the fence. It scared me at first but my dogs ignored them (just something to be aware of). The Redwoods are 3 hours away and the coast was just a short 30 minutes. We would definitely stay here again.

Great house and Location
The intent of this trip was for wine tasting and I will say, in that regard, it is a bit of a winding road drive to the wineries. The house is older but very clean and updated (but still squeaky floors and door stops needed). The deck view is wonderful! Plenty of space, beautiful redwoods. The gate was a little challenging (it would use wheels on the bottom) but it did keep it secure and safe with pets. The road to the house is steep, so use a low gear. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would stay there again.
