There is also a twin matress in a closet along with daybeds in each king bedroom that make good beds for young kids.

The fully remodeled kitchen is fully provisioned with gear by the owners who love to cook. You'll find all the accouterments necessary for whatever cooking you may wish to do. Gas range and oven, appliances, placesettings for up to 20, outdoor gas barbeque, and generous indoor and outdoor dining area.

This place is fantastic. The location was perfect. We had a family get together. You are 3 minutes from Armstrong Woods, 10 minutes from Monte Rio Beach if you want to go in the river (our choice over Johnson's), Safeway is a 3 minute ride the other way in case you need anything, and the pool is amazing. The house has plenty of bedrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed. The front room was cozy and the back yard is beautifully landscaped and offers many options to go sit as a smaller group and have intimate conversations. The street is quiet and private. When you are outside you hear nothing, except an occasional hawk screeching. And Chris and Lisa are exceptional hosts. They were gracious and were always available to answer any questions. We only wish we had done this sooner. Our niece's husband is already planning on booking this place again with a friend of his and their family. My wife and I have stayed at many properties like this all over the world, and this ranks right near the top.

We had a great long weekend stay in Guerneville! The house is perfect - well equipped kitchen, clean, lots of sitting areas and amazing windows and views. The outdoor space is beautiful, with so many spaces to perch to read a book or have a quiet conversation, plus a beautiful pool and pizza oven. We really appreciate having a place this nice where our dog could be included in our getaway.

Repeat visitors!

We've stayed at Chris and Lisa's house before and returned because we love it so much. House has lots of bed options for travelers with kids, and many separate sitting "nooks" that allow everyone to spread out. Communication from owners should be part of VRBO owner training, it's exemplary!

THIS HOUSE IS THE BEST

I do not wish to expound too much on this particular house because it will rent more frequently and I know we want to come back. It is a gem. The pool, the house itself, the kitchen has every little thing. There are three 'very large bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Large living room and dining room add to the charm. We really never left the property except to buy groceries.

This place is fantastic! Very well appointed and the hosts have clearly put much thought into anticipating needs every step of the way from the bathrooms to the kitchen to the indoor and outdoor conversation zones with blankets at arm's reach. The back yard was immaculately landscaped, private, with an abundance of seating and relaxation options. Last but not least, the bedrooms were very spacious and the beds were wonderfully comfortable. The hosts were very communicative, friendly, and very easy to contact. We very much hope to be back soon!

One of the nicest VRBOs I've stayed in

Where to even start with Chris's place - immaculately clean, great location, well-appointed (grill, hot tub, heated pool, fire pit, PIZZA OVEN??), well-decorated, I could go on. The pictures don't do it justice - there's even a nice hillside view from the backyard. Chris is lovely and responsive, and our dog had an absolute blast chasing balls in the backyard. We'll be back!
