The pictures don't do this property justice! The house itself is similar to other houses we have rented along the Russian River, with multiple levels and bedrooms, but the amenities are all updated.

The river is just down from the property and they have a kayak, row boat, and intertubes, you will see other people on the river but its all your beach. Nice to come up to the house to take a break from the sun and in the evenings we bbq'd and cooked in the kitchen with awesome farmhouse sink, gas stove and full fridge. I could easily see having other relatives up here for Thanksgiving.

There is cable tv, plenty of books and games, and plenty of places to hang out for solo time.

I would recommend kayaking with El Rio, they take you 10-15 miles up river and its incredibly relaxing.

The hosts are great, everything was easy to figure out, the heater, locks etc. They also are generous with the kitchen items, it was nice to not have to bring olive oil etc.

Its also close to town if you need to run to the store for anything or have friends over that live nearby.
