The stay
Sunlight filters through towering redwoods as you sip morning coffee on the wraparound deck overlooking the Russian River. This dog-friendly retreat sleeps 8 with three bedrooms and an impressive outdoor kitchen complete with dual grills and smoker. Your private neighborhood beach sits right in the backyard — launch kayaks or simply wade into the gentle current. Just 5 minutes from downtown Guerneville's restaurants and 2 miles to Armstrong Redwoods. The river calls, and your cabin awaits.
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 around the firepit with the day's bottles. The living room rises to vaulted ceilings with exposed dark wood beams. Sink into the sectional beside the wood-burning fireplace, queue something on the 50-inch smart TV, or pour a drink at the antique bar. Stainless appliances — French-door fridge, gas range — line the galley with a small island for extra prep, and a sliding glass door opens straight to the deck. The dining table seats six for the long, slow Russian River evenings the home is built around. OUTDOOR LIVING The wraparound deck is where the magic happens — three umbrella-shaded dining tables and a high-top for two nestle among the redwoods. In the fenced backyard, an outdoor kitchen with dual gas grills, range, and smoker surrounds a grand table for alfresco feasts. End the evening around the firepit, then rinse off in the outdoor shower. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS Three bedrooms sleep up to eight. The first two each offer a queen bed. The third has a queen plus a twin-over-full bunk — for families. A pocket door connects the second and third bedrooms.

Neighborhood
Your cabin sits in a prime Russian River location, with your own private neighborhood beach right in the backyard — perfect for launching kayaks or cooling off on warm afternoons. The famous Korbel Winery is just 0.9 miles away for champagne tastings, while The Farmhand coffee shop is practically next door at 0.2 miles for your morning caffeine fix. When hunger strikes, La Fogata Taco Truck is a mere 0.1 mile stroll, or drive 5 minutes to downtown Guerneville where boon eat + drink (1.2 mi) serves seasonal California cuisine and Coffee Bazaar (1.1 mi) offers hearty breakfasts. The magnificent Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve awaits just 1.8 miles away — walk among ancient giants on the Pioneer Nature Trail. For groceries, MD Liquor and Food is 1.2 miles away, though Safeway (1.3 mi) offers a fuller selection. Your dog will love Bruno Farnocchia Dog Park, just 0.7 miles from your door.
Guest access
Step out to an elevated deck on the redwoods' edge, valley and forest fanning out, then come back inside this knotty-pine cabin where built-in bunks line the kids' room. You've got the whole home, dogs welcome, with a balcony off the main level and outdoor dining wrapping around. Punch in the keypad code on arrival; up to two cars fit in the carport, with two more in the driveway.
Things to know
The high-speed internet (350 Mbps down) keeps you connected when cell service gets spotty in the redwoods. While the home has efficient mini-split AC units and space heaters, the towering redwoods provide natural cooling shade on warm days. Take advantage of the incredible outdoor kitchen — with two gas grills, a gas range, AND a smoker, you can create feast-worthy meals. The outdoor shower is perfect after sandy river adventures. This is a true cabin experience with authentic knotty pine throughout — embrace the nostalgic Russian River vibe. The primary renter must be 25 or older. Your private beach access is a rare amenity — most properties require driving to river access points.
From past guests
Verified reviews from guests who stayed in this home.
“We really love the deck and the fully stocked kitchen. Also, most of the beds were very comfortable and we were really happy with the choice of pillows. Parking there is easy. We plan to come back!”
“This place was perfect for a weekend with old friends. The sleeping situation is not the most glamorous (loud bunks) but that's really the only drawback. The porch view of the river, the majestic redwoods, the private beach and access to both a private offshoot of the river and the full river, the outdoor kitchen... it was bliss.”
“The beds were all comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need. We spent a lot of time outside on the deck when not enjoying the private beach. The trees kept the deck and home cooler on hot days and the air conditioners all worked well. We would definitely return. Great place for a family get together.”
