Description

Summerwood is nestled in a forested neighborhood on the hill above downtown Guerneville. With a hot tub, multiple decks including seating areas and a propane firepit, terraced yard, and outdoor dining – all surrounded by lush greenery - you will love being outdoors! Inside, catch up on your favorite shows in the living room, furnished with a 46' flat-screen Roku TV, a plush sofa, and two modern armchairs. A wood-burning fireplace makes for a cozy mood. The dining table doubles as an excellent spot for board games and puzzles. Open beam ceilings, wood flooring, and large windows create a warm and inviting space.

Your Northen California retreat wouldn’t be complete without indulging in a meal – or several – utilizing local produce and everyone’s favorite – WINE! Multiple wineries of great renown and even more family-run, small-lot vineyards are a short drive. If beer or cider are your preference, you’re in luck as well! And this well-stocked kitchen is the place to explore your inner chef. Followed by a soak in the hot tub or a hike in Armstong Woods.

An easy 15-minute walk into downtown Guerneville to visit Johnson’s Beach, eclectic shops and art galleries, and Safeway, you may prefer a cab or rideshare for the return (uphill) trip. Unless you’re missing the gym and need a workout!

Previous guests say it best – calling Summerwood an ideal getaway for families, relaxation in the woods (without camping), updated with old-school charm. We invite you to find a new favorite at Summerwood.

We loved this place! Great location. And it was very clean. The AC units added throughout the house were great during the middle of a hot day but needed at night. We loved sitting out on the back deck for our morning coffee. We liked the layout of the space and the bedrooms were roomy. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking at home. Propane BBQ worked well also. Sofabed in the living room was surprisingly very comfortable to sleep on. Overall, a big hit with our group and we'll be back! -via Airbnb

I chose this property because I liked the rustic look of the place and it fit our needs. It met my expectations. The beds were decently comfortable (foam not spring mattresses), the furnishings are what's to be expected of a property that has been a dedicated rental forever. I liked the local art up on the walls. Every room has a skylight, and that helped us wake up bright and early. The driveway is a little steep, our tires were spinning getting in and out. The hot tub wasn't working, they tried to come fix it, but it has an error message that activates a few minutes after it looks like it's working, so we never did get to use it. The AC worked well which was critical because it was 100 degrees outside. I had a fun time with my family. We did a river float 2.5 miles from Steelhead Beach to Sunset Beach, there is a convenient shuttle service between the two. We ate at a local restaurant downtown with live music and hung out on the back porch at night. There is also an excellent ice cream parlor. This place helped us make some good memories and the rental company was easy going.-via Vrbo

Hello Karen, We are elated you enjoyed your stay at Summerwood! We are sorry to hear the hot tub was not working as it should have!

Russian River Valley

This was a great spot for my family to visit The Russian River Valley. The house was spotless and had all the necessities you could need. We brought our dog along with us and she loved exploring the yard. Although it’s not fenced in, the yard has a good natural boundary for a trust worthy pup. My husband also worked for part of the trip and the wifi help up great. No wifi speed issues. Only thing to be aware of is the house is up the mountain and the roads are only wide enough for one car and steep in some areas. Luckily traffic on the roads is minimal, but I’d be aware that staying here in the rainy season might require a car with 4wd. -via Airbnb

We are big fans of weekend getaways in Guerneville and the surrounding area - this has easily become one of our top places to stay! The home is beautiful and situated at the top of a quiet hill, in what feels like a private neighborhood. The outdoor area is exceptional and the hot tub is divine.

This place is adorable and homey feeling. It’s got a lot of cool, industrial furniture and a really nice hot tub. Very close to town and a place called Johnson’s Beach (which is not a sandy beach but a rocky riverside with kayaking etc).

The cabin was perfect for our group. The streets leading to the cabin were narrow and the driveway into the house was pretty steep as well. Keep this in mind with a larger vehicle.

We loved the overall feel of the "cabin in the woods". We spent a lot of time in the hot tub and on the deck. My son even loved playing Terreria on the playstation during the day the air quality was too bad to go outside. Everything we needed was there and we had a very nice, relaxing time and would definitely consider renting the same cabin in the future.-This review was written under prior management of the house but accurate.

We had a nice time at this Airbnb. The best part of it is the outdoor space. There are multiple levels in the backyard with plenty of space for outdoor time. Beautiful Redwood in the backyard as well. Lots of outdoor seating options and nice to have gas fire pit. Gas grill is large and works well. Hot tub was clean and had lots of features. The other main pro is the location was quiet area but close enough to town to get to easily. The only cons and they are minor ones is that the roads and driveway leading up to the house are narrow and steep and driveway is very steep. It is a hilly area, part of the charm just worth being aware of. Overall, we stay at a lot of airbnbs, was satisfied, would stay here.-This review was written under prior management of the house but accurate.

We just finished a great 3 night stay and would love to come back again! The best features for us were:- the lovely backyard with a hot tub, picnic table and patio seating area- the well stocked kitchen including a good supply of spices, sugar, etc.- plentiful supplies like towels, paper goods and shampoos- very quiet location- walking distance into Guerneville and to Johnson’s beach (though the walk back is somewhat steep, it still only took about 10 minutes)It’s important to know that the roads up to the house are extremely narrow and steep. Other reviewers mentioned this, but it was even more than I expected. If you have a very large vehicle you might have a challenge fitting on some of the roads and the driveway.-This review was written under prior management of the house but accurate.Also, the skylight in the master bedroom can’t be covered, so in the morning the room was really bright, making it difficult to sleep in.But other than these couple of minor things, we loved our stay and had a great time!-This review was written under prior management of the house but accurate.

This house surpassed expectations! Although the hill coming up to house seems a bit crazy and the homes are on top of each other, this home makes the best use of its space! You have great privacy in the backyard, especially the hot tub (which was amazing). The home is small And quaint decorated wonderfully. The sky lights in each bedroom are an added touch and was wonderful, especially the one day it rained, it was relaxing to listen and watch the rain come down. We walked the hill up and down a few times during our stay and it was not as terrible as it seems, as long as you are expecting a bit of a workout. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook in the home each day, and shampoo and conditioner were provided which was great since I forgot mine! Guerneville downtown is wonderful and fun to walk around, Korbel Cellars is close, along with a multitude of other wineries and breweries. Location is just fantastic and would definitely stay here again!-This review was written under prior management of the house but accurate.

It is close to downtown Guerneville, a nice beach on the Russian River and Armstrong Redwoods Park! The house is well equipped for entertaining and relaxing! We would definitely stay here again!-This review was written under prior management of the house but accurate.

Definitely worth it

Definitely worth it, it was stocked with what we needed (we LOVED the espresso machine), the outdoor area was huge and gorgeous because it felt like you were hidden in the woods despite neighbors being close by, the walk to town was quick, and the beds were super comfortable!! I wish we were closer to the river but the hosts provided their suggested river spots and driving to further beaches was no problem each day. Would definitely stay here again!-This review was written under prior management of the house but accurate.
