Holiday rentals with a kayak in Wine Country

What a perfect place for a weekend getaway. We were 8 women celebrating a birthday. While it rained the entire visit, it was the perfect place to be snuggled in together. Some managed a walk among the redwoods in the neighborhood, others rested on the spacious couch, and others made art at the dining table and chatted with the folks cooking in the kitchen. The two bathrooms worked for sharing among us at unplanned and staggered times. The kitchen was largely well-appointed and a pleasure to cook in (no crockpot, salad tongs, batter spatula, pie server); cupboards and drawers were well-labeled and a selection of coffee, tea, spices were available (no olive or cooking oil when we were there). We didn't use the back deck but it looks like great fun for a sunny weekend to BBQ, play darts, and hang out. Beds were reportedly firm but not uncomfortably so. Water pressure was great (at least in shower in primary bathroom). Plenty of games and warm touches. We'll be back.

Leslie was very considerate and had provided literally everything for us; trash bags, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, cooking items, blankets, pillows and basic necessities that we had forgot to pack. This was extremely helpful was we didn’t need to make an extra trip to the nearby Walmart 15 minutes away! It was all prepared which is a reflection of her amazing character. This time we didn’t get the chance to use the paddle board due to the weather in the Winter but nonetheless, my family enjoyed it here. Every night my husband and daughter would play the Connect 4 game and the house hosted a warm, comforting environment. Highly recommend, will definitely come back again in the Summer time to fish and enjoy the lake!

Overall, this was one of the best Air B&Bs I've stayed in across the states. The pictures are exactly what the home looks like all the way down to the furniture. The neighbors were friendly and personable. Our host, Ms. Sheri was very responsive to any questions we had and left no stone unturned when it came down to details on how to enter the home, enjoy the home, and leave the home. Everything was clear and precise. We had a wonderful time enjoying the water sports as well as all the amenities the home has to offer. Thank you again. 10/10 most definitely would return.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at The River House. The house is beautifully architected, the property is serene, and we had fun with the games and kayaks on site. Nancy is a gracious and helpful host.

My family and I stayed at Kim’s place for several nights, and it rained almost every day, but the airbnb was so clean, organized, and comfortable that we fully enjoyed staying in each night, playing games and cooking food. It feels very spacious in the main shared living room/kitchen area, so everyone can spread out. We also brought 2 family dogs, who felt right at home too. The location of this Airbnb is great too because it’s only about a 30-minute drive to both the Bodega Bay Area on the coast and the Santa Rosa wine country area. Highly recommend this airbnb, and would come back again!

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!

House is great and very nice being right on the water. Right next to the beach is a huge plus. Only downside is parking and garage is only good for short vehicles.

The house was pet friendly which eases so much stress when getting away. The bathrooms were clean and toilets were heated. The heater worked very well. There was something to do at all times; a pool table, ping pong table, connect 4, other games, fishing poles, kayaks, a yoga room, an upstairs entertainment center, and the host is signed into all entertainment accounts so you don’t have to figure out any old passwords. Keep in mind that this space is pet friendly and it is noticeable that pets are allowed, and that this place is used as such. As a pet owner and lover that was not a problem to me. The back is not completely fenced in so we kept ours on a leash anytime we were outside.

Miguel is a great host and have a beautiful Lake house. It is very clean and organized property and everything is very well maintained. Kitchen in well equipped. I would highly recommend her house for great Airbnb booking for future bookings. Thanks Again for having us Miguel !

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!!

Very cozy and beautiful place, quite neighbourhood, accessible lake. Slept great!

The home has good accessibility and was easy to find. Lynette is responsive and helpful. We enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed our time here. It is very rural, quiet and peaceful. Laytonville is a small town so the grocery store is very basic. It is only about 10 minutes away and open until 11. We were traveling with small children and arrived later in the day. The kids were hot and hungry and we had not had a chance to get food. The woman handling check in had a plate of fruit and was incredibly gracious to share to help keep them going until we could run in and grab groceries. She also called ahead to confirm how late they would be open. (4th of July) The walk to the private lake is not difficult and there are multiple kayaks you can use. In addition, it was during an incredible heatwave and there were regular check-ins to make sure all was well and everyone had water. There is no air conditioning but there are many fans that helped it cool off at night. Any issues or concerns were dealt with timely and appropriately. The service was truly above and beyond.

A wonderful place to disconnect and enjoy nature. We loved walking up to the beautiful surroundings. Not much more to say as all the great reviews are spot on. Would definitely stay again.

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!

Had a relaxing weekend stay at this cozy cabin. Great views from the deck, while enjoying sunset in a hot tub. Nearby restaurant had a great tasting dinner, we were able to get essentials from a near by market and a tasty breakfast from near by Cafe.

Lovely house in the woods, everything as expected. Thank you for the great stay and communication we enjoyed it a lot, it was lovely. Highly recommend this airbnb.

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.

We came here for a birthday trip and had so much fun. The place was beautiful and looked exactly like the photos. The inside is modern and it was super clean. Hot tub worked perfectly and the host would reply quickly and was super nice.

We loved our time at Paulette’s place! We had so much fun being next to the lake and the house was well stocked with essentials. We never “needed” anything. The beds were comfy, bathrooms clean, kitchen was functional. 10/10!

This river cottage was amazing! Quintessential Sonoma county living. We had a great time relaxing by the river and enjoying all healdsburg has to offer. The house was well appointed, all of the furnishings were very comfortable. WiFi was great for working remote. We wished the windows upstairs had real screens, but the curtains helped let us get some air in at night. Hope to visit again soon!

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!

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!
