Holiday rentals with a kayak in Sonoma County

Place worked out well for our extended family of 8 allowing privacy and communal space. Game room with ping pong, darts and billiards a plus. Rained the entire weekend so did not avail ourselves of outdoor entertainment center/lounge nor use of hot tub which is just outside of master bedroom. This well maintained home with abundant cooking tools and supplies made for a very comfortable stay. Kayak and water activity supplies noted would make this destination a great place to be at to enjoy all of Russian River’s attributes.

I’ve stayed at this property many times. It’s feels like a home away from home, and the host responds immediately to my questions. I intend to continue choosing this place in my future stays.

Nice place! Room is spacious, good kitchen space, gated area, good parking spot too..

We stayed at Marianna’s place for my birthday weekend! This is our second visit. The house is quiet, there’s a beautiful view of the river off the deck and additional amenities have been added since our previous stay — like a hot tub to enjoy under the stars. The house is comfortable and we felt right at home. Whether you want to relax by the fire place and have a romantic night in or visit the many nearby sights like Jenner, Guerneville’s restaurants or hiking the nearby trails — Marianna’s place is lovely.

Jodi and Dan's house is cute, clean and comfortable and we had the loveliest stay. The kitchen is set up perfectly and makes staying in for meals very convenient. The beds have nice linens and are comfortable and the master bathroom is particularly beautiful. There are speakers around the house that make listening to music easy and everything in the house is easy to find. Getting the kayaks into the river is a bit of an adventure with the marshy area, but it is worth it once you are out enjoying the river. The river really is the highlight of staying here. I also apprecaited the outdoor shower with warm water to clean up from the river. We hope to stay again because this house is a true gem. Thank you, Jodi and Dan!

Susan and Dave were gracious hosts. They greeted us warmly upon our arrival, helping us to feel at home. Susan has thoughtfully attended to every detail, there is nothing we were in need of during our stay. Their hospitality extended to a continental breakfast to get our day started. The sitting area at the river's bank is so serene. We enjoyed napping in the hammock and reading a book after a day of running up and down the coast. We are very picky about mattresses, and found the bed very comfortable. We left a couple of items behind, which Susan and Dave were very kind to mail to us. Thank you Susan and Dave for adding to what was a spectacular vacation.

I almost hesitate to say how great this place was so that it stays a hidden gem that’s available to us for stay after stay. It has stunning views from every window, is more spacious than it appears in photos and exceeded all of our expectations. Particularly fabulous were all the stunning houseplants - including some two stories high - that were all healthy and happy. We could not believe this is a dog friendly place - there wasn’t any evidence that a dog had ever been inside. Immaculate. Ted was responsive and friendly. We hope to be back soon!!

Great spot for two families with littles (8mo to 6yo). There was enough space for all of us, a door to the living room that made it easy for parents to stay up after kids went to bed, lots of space outdoors, and nice views of the river. We didn’t use the cottage room since parents needed to be in the main house with kids. The house is rustic and will need some TLC (front door was hard to close due to age/warping, floors that slant/slope, etc.). We hope to stay in the summer sometime to enjoy the river in warm weather! Host was very responsive and helpful!

My fiancé and I love coming to Guerneville -this has been our favorite stay so far! The place was immaculate, so cozy and peaceful. The hot tub made the rainy weekend even more magical! Our two pups felt right at home as well. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone wanting a peaceful getaway!!

Adam’s place was perfect as a weekend getaway for our family of 3. The place is quiet and offered beautiful views with wildlife sightings. It was the perfect launching point for hiking and we loved coming back to relax to the great record collection. Would recommend!

We had a great stay at the Waterfall house. The location can't be beaten; it's secluded, the views are great and it is within walking distance from all of the Jenner hot spots :) Baked goods and drinks from Cafe Aquatica were the perfect way to start our mornings. We also had a great time kayaking on the river with the seals! The kitchen was stocked well enough for all of our needs as a group of 5, and the porch and deck spaces were great for hanging out. The sofa bed wasn't super comfortable but it was good enough for our needs. The other beds were all very comfortable and we slept well! The hosts at the Jenner Inn were super responsive and helpful. We'd definitely stay here again!

Beautifully decorated and cozy. Kitchen was well stocked with all the tools you would need. This place was perfect for the two of us. 4 people would probably find it a bit inconvenient since you would need to walk through the master bedroom or take an outside route to get to the second bedroom or a bathroom. The dock was a nice place to relax and glad we were there before they pulled it out for the winter. Didn't have a chance to use the kayak that was there which would have been fun. Jenner and Guerneville were an easy drive and fun to explore.

We had a wonderful time at this Airbnb. The house is beautiful and very well maintained, the location is great, and communication with Emily was so easy. Also, if you’re traveling with kids, the place is stocked with so many toys and books, which our toddler absolutely loved.

The place was very nice and was perfect for 2 people. There are technically 3 bedrooms but one of them is more of a loft style and might not be great for a taller person, but otherwise the rooms are all nice and the beds are comfortable. The house was clean and the kitchen was stocked with all the essentials which was nice. It is located in a quiet neighborhood that is about a 7 or so minute drive from downtown. There were space heaters in each room and a little electric fireplace in the living room which helped, but if you are staying during the colder months I would recommend bringing some warmer clothes as well. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back during the summer when we can really utilize the river!

If you are looking for a cozy space where you can wake up, walk down a few flights of stairs and be in the water, this is it. It is clean, cozy and wonderful. They have one kayak, which we used and appreciated (bring a second kayak so you can cruise around together - or some inner tubes). The only challenge is parking. There is one parking spot and our Tahoe was sticking out into the road a bit (we almost drove off the cliff trying to make it work). We highly recommend.

This cabin was the perfect spot for our girls' weekend getaway! The cozy log cabin vibe, stunning river views, and spacious living areas made it feel like a true retreat. We loved relaxing on the deck and soaking in the hot tub. It was a peaceful and rejuvenating escape — we can't wait to come back!

Stayed here for a quick get away in January. Everything was per the description. Nice, cozy and clean. Although the weather was not kind to us, the private inclosed courtyard looked perfect with hot tub, fire pit and outside dining. The lodge and Roadhouse are very close and convenient. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Loved this place! It is so cute and cozy. The hot tub was why we picked this place and it was so lovely in the redwood setting. We will come back again. Best Airbnb experience I have had.

We loved our stay at Otter House! The space was super comfortable and cozy. LOVED the hot tub surrounded by beautiful giant redwoods...especially the big fella' that hugged the wrap around porch. Cozy neighborhood, and in the summertime large back patio, and nearby river would have been lovely but we enjoyed it just the same. Tom was super flexible and accommodating. Close drive to Jenner and Bodega, as well as Guerneville restaurants and nearby wineries. We hope to come back again soon!

Top notch all around! This little cottage has beautiful views, is perfectly located on a quiet neighborhood that is super close to anything you might want. If that isn’t enough, the house is beautifully appointed and decorated, with comfortable beds, top-notch hot tub, and a kitchen that truly has anything you need. We like to cook and we often feel frustrated at other AirBnBs, but at Mystic Cottage there was everything we needed and more! Aaaand to top it all, Alex was not only extra nice in our exchanges, with fast responses when we had questions, but he also left us a welcome note and bottle of bubbles on arrival. 100% recommend!
