The stay
The scent of redwoods drifts through your windows as morning light filters through the forest canopy. Bring your dog to explore this unique retreat with its vintage knotty pine interiors and private fenced yard. Room for 4 across three distinct sleeping spaces. Just 200 feet from the Russian River and a 10-minute walk to downtown Guerneville's restaurants and shops. Cozy up to the gas fireplace after floating the river — this is the forest escape you've been craving.
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. Striped upholstered furniture wraps a wooden coffee table; a gas fireplace with stone tile anchors the room beneath exposed beams and built-in bookshelves. Painted cabinets and ample counter keep the kitchen simple. A wooden dining table with spindle-back chairs draws the group together for the slow Russian River dinners the cabin is built around. OUTDOOR LIVING Step outside to your private enclosed yard where two gray Adirondack chairs and a small table create an intimate seating area on decomposed granite, bordered by rocks and surrounded by wooden privacy fencing. Mature redwood trees provide natural canopy overhead. Fire up the gas grill and take your meal out to the deck, where a swing bench invites you to linger long after the plates are cleared. The enclosed yard is for your dog to safely explore. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS Three distinct sleeping areas spread across the two structures give your group flexibility. The main bedroom envelops you in warm knotty pine paneling with a comfortable queen bed. A bunk room features a twin bed, also wrapped in that signature pine. The studio space provides a double bed and an additional twin, with carpeted floors and multi-pane windows letting in filtered forest light. The home sleeps 4 guests.

Neighborhood
You're perfectly positioned to experience the best of Guerneville and the Russian River Valley. The Russian River flows just 200 feet from your door — perfect for morning walks with your pups or afternoon swims. Downtown Guerneville's eclectic dining scene starts with Saucy Mama's (0.8 mi) for soul food and the famous Guerneville Taco Truck (0.9 mi) at Safeway. For date night, try ZENSHI Handcrafted Sushi (0.9 mi) or grab sandwiches from La Bodeguita Panino (1.0 mi). Stock up on groceries at Safeway (0.9 mi) or find organic options at Bartlett's Market (1.9 mi). Wine enthusiasts will love the proximity to Korbel Winery (2.8 mi) for champagne tours and Porter-Bass Winery (2.4 mi) for biodynamic wines. Hike among ancient redwoods at Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve or rent kayaks for a lazy river float from Johnson's Beach. The charming downtown offers antique shops, art galleries, and that welcoming, inclusive vibe Guerneville is famous for.
Guest access
Pad out to the private outdoor seating area among the redwoods, fire up the gas fireplace once the sun drops, and let two structures' worth of cabin spaces — original knotty pine throughout — handle the rest. You've got the whole property, dogs welcome, with an enclosed yard so they can roam. Punch in the keypad code on arrival, and park in the driveway.
Things to know
The vintage knotty pine interiors create a wonderfully nostalgic atmosphere — lean into the retro cabin vibe! While there's no air conditioning, the redwood canopy keeps the home naturally cool even on warm days, and you can create cross-ventilation by opening windows on opposite sides. Your dog (50 pounds max) will love the enclosed yard — just note that Armstrong Redwoods trails don't allow dogs, but the Russian River beaches welcome four-legged friends. The primary renter must be 21 or older. Take advantage of both structures to spread out — kids often love claiming the bunk room as their own space. The swing bench on the deck is perfect for morning coffee among the redwoods. Cell service can be spotty under the trees, but the home's internet keeps you connected when needed.
From past guests
Verified reviews from guests who stayed in this home.
“Great house with a very cozy feel! Close to town, spacious interior and yard, and a beautiful fireplace!”
“The house was spotless. Compliments to the cleaners. Kitchen was well stocked. Bathroom was clean with lots of fluffy towels. There were 3 bedrooms though one had no doors. The place was very comfortable and had just about everything that was needed. All of the upgrades were appreciated (electrical, double-pane windows, etc.). The deck and the yard were nice. It's a short drive to downtown.”
“Home on the Range is located in Guerneville. It is a cute cottage that was perfect for our stay on the Russian River. Great live music throughout the town, close to Redwoods hiking trails, wineries, and kayaking. I would recommend staying there.”
