Step out the door into wine country — this dog-friendly cottage overlooks a picturesque vineyard yet sits a short walk from the Russian River, with Armstrong Redwoods 4.5 miles away. Two queen bedrooms plus a sofa bed sleep 6, and an open-air atrium connects the two buildings under a perfect view of the stars.
The space
Spend mornings with coffee on the private front patio as light filters through the redwoods, afternoons walking down to the Russian River or driving 4.5 miles to Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve, and evenings stargazing under the open sky after a round at Northwood Golf Club (5.4 mi) or a tasting along the Westside Road wine corridor.
Step through the open-air atrium — essentially a great room with a perfect view of the stars — that links the cottage's two buildings at its center. It's the kind of in-between space that turns a quiet evening into a long conversation.
Settle into the cozy living room on the cool side of the day, where French doors open straight to the courtyard and a decorative telescope angles toward the skylight for stargazing. The vaulted ceiling and bright windows keep the room feeling open even when you're curled up with a book.
Cook a proper dinner in the compact kitchen with everything you need for the day's wine discoveries, then carry plates to the eat-in dining nook with its rustic hutch and views back out to the patio. Lots of light and windows make every corner of the cottage feel bigger than its footprint.
OUTDOOR LIVING
Sink into wicker seating on the terracotta-tiled patio, shaded by a market umbrella over a small dining set for al fresco meals, with redwoods rising overhead.

Guest access
Throw open the French doors, and let a giant redwood right against the cottage frame the deck. You've got the whole cottage, dogs welcome, with outdoor dining and meadow views from the bedroom windows. Grab the key from the lockbox; pull one car into the driveway.

• Please keep them off the furniture, never leave them unattended, wipe their paws when coming inside, use a mat under their water bowls, and always pick up after them in the yard.
• The unique two-building design connected by the open-air atrium creates a special indoor-outdoor living experience — embrace it!
• The wood stove in the living room provides cozy ambiance on cool evenings.
• High-speed internet is available throughout the home.
• The property's proximity to both downtown and nature makes it ideal for experiencing all that Guerneville offers.

Amazing cozy cabin!
Our stay was fantastic!
The location was quiet and peaceful. The house is located in a cute neighborhood. Everyone was very friendly, we felt completely safe during our stay. Cozy relaxing cottage perfect for a weekend getaway. Beds were super comfortable. I could have laid in the hammock for hours looking up at the redwoods. Great location, close enough to town, but tucked away in a cute neighborhood.
