Photos and Description of the Guerneville vacation apartment rental
2 br, 1 bathroom, sleeps 4-6

Sunset Manor of Guerneville is located in the hills ½ mile east of Guerneville, within walking distance of downtown and the Russian River. It has its own outside entrance, two bedrooms with queen beds, kitchen, and living/dining room overlooking spectacular views of the hills above Guerneville.

The building is situated on the slope of the hill below Sunset Avenue itself, on the north side of the street. The guest space is on the lower level, on the north side of the building.

The living/dining room is 14' x 19' with a wood-burning fireplace and a large HDTV with Comcast cable service. A large picture window provides a view of the hills, and a glass door leads to a balcony with table and chairs for outside dining and a side yard. There is also a large back yard for your dog.

Each bedroom has a queen-size bed and a TV. The views from the bedroom windows are stunning. These windows are located significantly above the neighboring homes and are thus afforded a substantial privacy.

Locale: Sunset Manor is in an area of very narrow, steep, winding roads - part of its charm! But it also means the neither MapQuest nor Google provide accurate directions. It is about ½ mile from the middle of Guerneville and the Russian River. The walk into town is mostly downhill, but the trip back is a hike uphill. This is a quiet, peaceful setting.

About Guerneville: Guerneville is a small community, with a population of about 2500 and an area of about 3 square miles, located about 20 miles from Santa Rosa to the east and 12 miles from the Pacific Ocean on the west, on the north side of the Russian River. It is a tourist attraction, with a number of resorts. Bus service from Santa Rosa stops in Guerneville, about 1/2 mile from Sunset Manor. This is wine country - Korbel is about three miles away. The local Safeway is open 24/7.

About Sunset Manor: Sunset Manor is the lower unit of a 2-unit building that dates back to 1955. It was purchased by the current owners in 2008; they live in the upper unit. The building is on the north side of the street, and substantially below street level. The hill is sufficiently steep that both units have ground-level entrances - but this also means it is not ADA Accessible. There are other residences in the area - those to the north of Sunset Manor are well below it.

A great week-long stay

I rented this with the idea of staying in town and enjoying my daughter's wedding. The apartment had everything we needed (dishes, glassware, pots and pans, towels) and the accommodations were terrific. Everything is new and fresh. I had my family (five brothers and wives and other relatives) meet there one evening before the wedding and we had plenty of room to meet, eat, chat, laugh and had a wonderful time. We could easily walk down to the Coffee Bazaar for early morning coffee and stroll around town to see what was in the shops. There is a Safeway grocery store in town if you are staying/cooking in. I've eaten at a couple of restaurants in town and they are fine. Don't plan on real "upscale" dining--you won't find much of that in Guerneville. The beach in town on the Russian River is a nice place to cool off if you are interested. Kayak rentals are available in the area and it looked like lots of people took advantage of that although I didn't have time to do so. There are MANY wineries in the area and the ocean beaches aren't far away. Northwood Golf Club is an excellent course in the redwoods of Monte Rio just west of Guerneville. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone and will stay again when I visit my daughter in the future.

Owner's Response: We've enjoyed dining at Applewood Inn - it's 1/2 mile down Highway 116, traveling toward Forestville.

I came to Guerneville with my daughters for our special retreat weekend. The spacious and sunny private apartment was a total delight for all of us. Everything was clean and well maintained, the kitchen was generously furnished with nice quality dishes and pans, and thoughtful amenities including WiFi and two high end computers, televisions, were included everywhere -- even fresh ground gourmet coffee. My daughter discovered a great coffee house a short walk down the hill, and had fun exploring all the shops in Guerneville that were also walking distance. We spent hours in the beautiful Armstrong Redwoods State Park just down the road -- a cathedral of peace and quiet that called us back again and again. The self-contained apartment itself looks out into redwood trees and a quiet yard, and is also surrounded by the kind of quiet that let us all get deep and restful sleep. The beds are very comfortable, and the whole house feels like a private cottage getaway: A true home away from home. Perfect! We all agreed we would recommend Ben and Bill's place -- and their generous hospitality -- to friends and family, and will certainly return again and again. Thank you to Ben and Bill for offering a friendly and warm welcome, and making us feel truly at home. Highly recommended.

The apartment was perfect for our girls weekend getaway. We really enjoyed the well stocked kitchen, spacious rooms, flat screen TV's in all the rooms and all the amenities to make us comfortable. the property is clean and well kept. There is a nice coffee shop in walking distance and numerous wineries in the area. Ben and Bill went out of there way to be help and we really enjoyed their hospitality. We would recommend the property to friends and family and look forward to returning.

Owner's Response: These tenants were fun to host. While we rent this apartment to help pay expenses, and while it's a lot of work, we get great returns on our investment when our guests enjoy themselves!

We stayed for only a few days but this clean, extremely comfortable, well located apartment provided everything we needed. The unit opened to a nice garden with a view and the kitchen was fully stocked and great to work in. The computer access and large monitors were very welcome, as were the entertainment options (large screen TV in living room and TVs in each bedroom). We were sorry to leave and plan to return!

My husband, a good friend and I just spent a week at Sunset Manor. The cottage was perfect for our needs. We spent our days visiting with family in the area as well as taking in some vineyards. Although the kitchen is small it was more than adequate for us. The living/dining room was a great space for us to entertain and even have an overnight guest stay on the couch which was incredibly easy to convert into a bed. The patio area is lovely and well furnished. The tv and interenet equipment was beyond compare. The beds were very comforable as well. Bill and Ben have thought of everything that guests could need and were very gracious so were Victor and Victoria, their dogs. Our only problem was that the only access is by a set of stairs that were a little treacherous for the three of us who are all seniors. I would return in Sunset Manor again and again.

Owner's Response: These were great tenants, and we enjoyed having them with us! We have been fortunate in our four years of operation - we've always had good tenants.

Marie certainly sets a high standard for us to live up to!
