Photos and Description of the Russian River vacation house rental
House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1.5 Baths, (Sleeps 4)

Welcome to River Gardens, the remarkably versatile Russian River property that is just as suitable for a family retreat as it is for a honeymoon stay.

Say goodbye to stress and hello to peace, privacy, romance, and plain old fun on a very lush, fully fenced, 3/4 of an acre. Perfect for one or two couples, or a family.

Let the kids run and play on the large lawn while you enjoy a cocktail on the porch. Watch them swing under the shade of the huge bay tree while keeping your other eye on the otters swimming in the river. Wake up early and see a blue heron catch its breakfast.

Launch our canoe or kayaks from the private beach and paddle up to the town of Guerneville or down to the mouth of the Pacific. Cuddle by the fire when the fog rolls in. Relax in the jacuzzi bathtub and settle in for a night of comfort on premium mattresses and fine linens. Play a boardgame or grab one of our 150 books and dig in.

Location, location, location. Drive to Jenner and the ocean in 10 minutes (make sure to take our kite!), Bodega Bay in under 30, and Guerneville in 15 minutes. Renowned wineries dot the area and make for a wonderful afternoon of wine tasting and picnicking.

The driving destinations are plentiful, but it's what's in easy (and we mean easy!) walking distance that makes River Gardens the ultimate location. Located at the end of a country lane in Duncans Mills (on the town side of the bridge if you're familiar with the area), it's a breeze to walk to town where you'll find gourmet coffee and mochas, antique and specialty shops, wine and cheese tasting, the post office, brick oven pizza, and the popular Cape Fear Restaurant. You can also walk to the town's General Store for food staples, ice cream, or a nice bottle of local wine. It is entirely possible to leave your car in Park for the whole weekend and still find everything you need.

A beautiful setting. A beautiful house. It's all here, at River Gardens.

A dream come true

The pictures do not even come close to what this property has to offer. Peace, tranquility, closeness to nature, privacy - all in a well-kept, cozy home full of light. One can slip into this oasis and never feel as if one is in a rented place - it becomes home immediately. It is ideal for a personal retreat, for sharing unforgettable memories with a loved one, for relaxing and getting off the grid (almost). I am sure families would enjoy it, too, because the garden is expansive and the river access a delight. One can only wish that all visitors treat this exceptional home with the respect it and its generous owners deserve.

My girlfriend, myself and the pooch all had a wonderful time. The secluded area, the bright home and the wood burning fireplace kept us cozy. The kitchen is well stocked with whatever might be needed to prepare a nice meal. The small town within walking distance is a great place to visit after kayaking in the river.

Absolutely, positively FANTASTIC!!!!!!! We were looking for the perfect getaway for our 20th anniversary and after reading the other reviews and looking at the pictures, I've got to admit our expectations were pretty high... River Gardens FAR exceeded everything we could have hoped for! The house and property are GORGEOUS! It was just the two of us and our beloved dog... and I can't say who had more fun! The house is SO inviting and comfy and wonderful... there wasn't a single thing missing! And the property... WOW!!!! Barley had a BLAST romping around and checking out every square inch! We (and he) LOVED that he had so much room to run, but was safely contained by the fence so we never had to worry about him. And the river access was SO much fun!! We braved the canoe one day, then when we decided that the two of us and the dog in a canoe together was a bit too precarious, traded in the canoe for the kayaks. We felt MUCH more stable in those, LOL, even when Barley started out in one kayak and then decided the other kayak looked like more fun, so flung himself off to swim across the river to the other one! There was a CUTE seal that came to sun herself on a nearby log every afternoon, I got some great pictures of her!

The description of the property says you can put your car in park and still find everything you need... and that was completely true! We were there for 5 days and except for a one-day jaunt to Healdsburg to raft with Russian River Adventures (the best operation around!), we DID NOT LEAVE and were perfectly happy! We walked down to the coffee shop every morning for a little caffeine fix and a pastry (delicious!!!) and did a bit of shopping at the General Store (I'm now the proud owner of a Duncans Mills sweatshirt after forgetting my jacket). On Saturday night, we went to the General Store for some ice cream and on the walk back were lured in by the live band at the Blue Heron restaurant, so we sat on the patio with the dog and enjoyed the music and a couple of cocktails... and the bartender was hilarious!

We truly can't gush enough about how much fun we had and how incredible everything was! Vanessa was AMAZING and patiently answered my MANY questions with unfailing good cheer. We will DEFINITELY be back!!! THANK YOU for the best 20th anniversary getaway we could have ever hoped for!!!!

My Mom and 2 sisters had a very relaxing, and wonderful time...laughing, talking about the "old days" and the accomodations at River Gardens were perfect for our "reunion".
The peaceful setting was the perfect set-up for us.
Having access to the river and within walking distance to the shops in Duncans Mills created the balance
and quiet that we certainly appreciated.
Thank you again for the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful setting. We will try to come back someday!
