A perfect home away from home!

My entire family (including our two teenage kids and our Golden Retriever) enjoyed this trip. This home is perfect in every way, clean, well maintained, and more importantly it felt like home. If you needed something - it was there. The cabin was very nicely decorated and to add to that - the furniture and beds and linens were very comfortable. The owners are very nice and quick to respond. This location was great, it's smack in the middle of everything. Most of our late afternoons were spent swimming and floating on the river in front of the cabin in our inflatable boats, the owners do have tubes and lounge inflatables also. Access to the river is not super easy but put your feet in the right places and it's fine. And then every evening in the hot tub under the redwoods - ah. We did a 1/2 day kayak/canoe trip in Healdsburg with River's Edge, they allow dogs in their canoes. The river up there is crystal clear, some small rapids, very fun. Drive the backroads (Westside) up to Healsdburg lots of wineries and pretty scenary. We also spent a day at the coast, so different from Southern California beaches, really breath taking! We went to the beach at Goats Rock just south of Jenner. If you walk south just a little bit you have the beach to yourself - on a weekend - in the summer - imagine that! If you have a dog go to the south side, Blind Beach, allows them on leash. We brought kites - just a little more wind would have been perfect. On the home from the Russian River we took the Bohemian Hwy. through Occidental, that was one of the most beautiful drives. A perfect end to our trip. We'll be back next summer and stay a little longer!!!
