Wonderful Get-Away!

I just got back from four gorgeous days at Moon River. This was my second stay there in just a few months, and is now my "go to" spot by the Russian River. The layout of the house is perfect for our group of friends. The furnishing are chic (especially for a rental) from the furniture to the heated bathroom floors to the fixtures to the serveware (plenty of stylish platters and wine glasses for entertaining). I'm in love with the large outdoor patio, complete with huge dinner table that easily seats a large party and overlooks the river. Each morning we would have our coffee on the patio while checking email on the free wi-fi or watching birds and river otters. We spent each day canoeing (thanks to the on-site canoes and backyard dock) and wading in the river while the dog played on the beach. What is also supreme about Moon River is that it is secluded enough to be away from it all but only a 5 minute drive to town for groceries. Moon River can't be beat (the owner a joy to work with) and I no longer need to keep trying to find a space that satisfies all my getaway requirements.

I stayed at Moon River with 6 friends and we had a fabulous time! The pictures truly do not do the house justice. It is really a work of art, and is quiet and out of the way- affording for some quality relaxation. We loved the open kitchen and spacious living area and the view of the river from the porch. I can't wait to go back sometime in the summer!

Photogenic as Moon River is, it is even more beautiful than advertised. Heidi and James made sure guests would enjoy the finest amenities --from the dinnerware to the linens. Everything is top notch. The house is swank yet inviting and comfortable. We wanted to live there forever but alas had to leave after 4 blissful days. Spending my 40th birthday weekend here was just what my spirit needed. Thank you for sharing this beautiful and tranquil home with us, Heidi and James. Expect to hear from us very soon for a return visit.

My family came to Moon River for a week in August with my in-laws. We all had an amazing time! The house was even more spectacular than I expected! You never know what you are getting when you rent a house, and the house was exactly as represented online (and if possible, a bit better!). In fact, my husband and I were marveling over how much work they had put into the house and how it was much more updated than our own! The house instantly makes you feel at home and comfortable. We only came from an hour away but felt a world away from home! The surroudings are very serene with the amazing river views and wonderful deck! We used the boats quite a bit and found the beach access to be easy and fun. I have a 2 year old and a 6 year old and I never felt worried about their safety there. On our last day there, my 6 year old asked if we could come back to the same house next year and I said I had hoped to!

It doesn't get much better than this.

My husband and I stayed for 4 days in Aug with my husband's teenage niece and nephew from New Jersey. We didn't want them to get bored hanging around two older adults so we planned lots of activities.

Well, we needn't have bothered. They took one look at the house and their jaws dropped. Rebecca whipped out her cell phone and text-messaged her Mother that it was the most fantastic house she had ever seen. In four days the only time we left the place was to get groceries or paddle on the river.

The house is as gorgeous as described by others but the real luxury was walking the few feet to the dock and slipping into the warm water whenever we felt like it. The kids hung out in the hot tub and the only occasional conflict was who got the shade hammock. I felt like a kid again enjoying the lazy days of summer. Even our ancient dog was rejuvenated.

Heidi was a pleasure to deal with. Her focus was on our getting the maximum enjoyment out of the place. I've rented houses for 30 years and this was one of the best experiences I've ever had.

My family, friends and I had a lovely weekend getaway at Moon River! The view was spectacular from the hot tub. The house was beautifully maintained and decorated. Swimming at the river was fun too!

A wonderful house with beautiful view, lovely rooms and a feeling of peace. I would go back in a heartbeat.

I celebrated my 35th birthday at Moon River, and it was enchanting! The location is beautiful and convenient to town, and the house decor is modern and luxurious. We loved mornings in the hot tub, looking out over the Russian River. At 10 guests, we maxed out the sleeping surfaces and everyone was comfortable. Thank you for a great stay!
