The entry was simple as was the exit. The kitchen wasvwell appointed. We were a party of three and the layout worked well. We appreciated how quiet it was.
We had a relaxing, comfortable stay at Valley Vista. The house is in a super quiet neighborhood, has great outdoor spaces to eat or chit chat, and was really clean. We will definitely stay there again some time.
We so enjoyed our time here! The house is clean, lovely and so well stocked, including the kitchen. Would definitely recommend and stay again ourselves should we be in the area again.
The house was great. We enjoyed the grill and hot tub. Wonderful weekend getaway. Our kids enjoyed kayaking on the river and the pee wee golf down the street as well.
Beautiful home very comfortable in a wonderful location
The home was beautiful very comfortable& clean.
Very conveniently located short drive to Armstrong, redwood forest and a Korbel and even the coast. Would highly recommend.
This was a great rental. The place was beautiful. We were two couples and we had privacy and great gathering space. The outdoor space was just as beautiful as the interior.
Great location in the trees, peaceful setting and comfortable house with every ammenity you could need. Close 3min drive to town. Quiet as a whisper. Property Mgmnt is very responsive and access is easy peasy. Will stay again in the future!
This was such a great rental! Self contained, peaceful and extremely private, this was just perfect. We only wished we booked a longer stay- next time!!!
The location was good for everything:the river, hiking, grocery etc. It was nice to be away from the city noise, and we enjoyed the quiet & beautiful nature right in their backyard. The owner was nice and prompt to respond when we contacted her during the stay.
Spent a few days at this “Forest Bungalow” with our daughter and granddog. Really enjoyed the closed in yard and driveway. Felt like we were in a secluded compound with wonderful views and lots of places to sit and enjoy nature.
This is an awesome place in a great location. Its a bit smaller than what pictures show, but very comfortable. The backyard and hot tub were great. Kitchen has good pots and pans, and decent collection of herbs and spices. Overall a very good experience and we would love to come back.
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.
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!
Beautiful home and very well appointed. The neighborhood was quiet and easy access walking to local shops. Lovely trees for tranquility in the back yard.
