The Russian River flows just below your private deck at this cozy cabin, where kids play in the sandbox below. Soak under the stars in your hot tub after wine tasting at Joseph Jewell (2.3 mi) or paddling from Steelhead Beach (0.6 mi). This 3-bedroom cabin sleeps 4 in forest serenity. Fire up the gas grill for dinner on the multi-tiered deck while kids play in the sandbox below. Your redwood retreat sits just minutes from Forestville's tasting rooms and the river's best swimming holes.
The space
Spend mornings on the deck as mist lifts off the Russian River, afternoons floating the river or visiting Korbel and Joseph Jewell tasting rooms, and evenings on the deck with the day's bottles.
The open great room opens off a stone gas fireplace and wall-mounted TV — a sofa and leather armchairs with nailhead trim arranged for fireside evenings. Built-in shelving holds books for rainy days, and ceiling fans turn beneath the soaring wood-paneled ceiling. A gas range with hood and a window framing forest views above the sink set the cook at the heart of the galley, and the dining table is just steps away. The Russian River drops away beyond the deck.
OUTDOOR LIVING
Sliding glass doors open onto a multi-tiered redwood deck with a child safety gate. Fire up the gas grill beneath string lights while river views filter through the trees, then slip into your private hot tub for a starlit soak. Below, a sandbox with colorful canopy awaits young adventurers.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Three bedrooms sleep up to four guests. The king bedroom offers dark wood floors and modern furnishings. A queen bedroom provides a peaceful retreat. The bunk room features light blue accent walls with decorative tree cutouts and twin-over-twin bunk beds.

Cute cabin. The interior was pretty clean minus some spider webs. The deck was a mess, but they sent someone out quickly to blow it off. The outside property was not as maintained. Overgrown with lots of down branches. No access to the river and really no river view as it is to overgrown. Gorgeous redwoods in the back.

It was a great cabin and we really enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately there wasn't any river access due to erosion so we had to drive to the river. And because there wasn't river access there weren't any river toys available. The deck in the hot tub are absolutely wonderful and it's got great air flow throughout the house. We always enjoy the Russian River.
