Description

Artist's Perch is your comfy escape in the redwood trees. Gaze into Sequoias from every window and deck while refreshing your spirit. The fresh air and blanket of green "leaves" and blue skies are the perfect backdrop for this artist's home away from home. With the artist's original paintings throughout the home, guests will relax while cooking, playing board games and catching up on a good book. Cozy up and stream a movie on the flat-screen smart TV in the living room. Alexa devices in each bedroom and the living room, an Xbox for gaming and a stereo with Bose speakers keep the music flowing too. With a strong wifi signal and desk in the upstairs master suite in case you need to work, but we think you'll prefer soaking in the hot tub after a hike or bike ride.

Perfect for two couples or a family, Artist's Perch is an ideal home base to explore Sonoma County's famous wine county, craft breweries and outdoor adventures. An expansive deck off the kitchen includes a propane BBQ, dining and lounge areas to appreciate the fruits of your travels: locally grown produce, sustainably raised meats, and, of course, wine! Bring along the dog and kids!

We had a fantastic stay and truly enjoyed our time at the property. The house is well equipped with two bedrooms with an ensuite bathroom (each). The patio is stunning and very peaceful. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Thankful for this experience!-via Airbnb

The house is as described :) Here are some things I would add to the description: - there are many steps down a steep incline from the road to the house. Nbd for us, but anyone with mobility issues take note. - road noise from the highway below is noticeable. Not a major issue at all in my opinion, but not super quiet if that’s important to you. - the house could use a tad more in the way of kitchen stuff. (There’s only one cutting board, etc.) Easily remedied which I would recommend to the property management company. If you’re planning to really cook, I’d bring some of your own implements. :) -via Airbnb

Manager's Response

Hello David, We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you so much for your review! The stairs at Artist's Perch are disclosed in the listing for guests. We highly encourage guests to ask questions before booking or before the stay. Since your stay more kitchen supplies were added to the home. We hope to host you again and appreciate you being a great guest!

The redwoods are stunning

Reviewed on 2024-05-27 by Jenna

We had a very nice stay and the house is cute with a really nice kitchen and outdoor deck. Comfortable beds and sofa. The redwoods are stunning. Helpful hosts. Short drive to Guerneville. There is a sort of hidden river beach technically walkable (~12 mins) from the house as well. Couple considerations for future guests: – You can hear quite a bit of road noise (highway 116) from the deck. This made it feel less peaceful to us than we would have wished. – Because of the surrounding trees, the house and deck can feel a bit dark. We've stayed in other nearby places that were also surrounded by redwoods but got more direct sunlight.-via Airbnb

Lovely artist perch in the trees. Patio felt private, and we spent a lot of time outdoors cooking and hanging out. Our dog loved it. Be ready to tackle the stairs in and out.

This home is conveniently located in the Russian River area. Grocery store and beaches right around the corner. We appreciated that the house has A/C (many in this area do not) given that we were here for some of the hottest days this summer. Beds and linens are top notch and the house had great amenities all around.

Beautiful and cozy home nestled in the redwoods. My only complaint here was the electrical was a tad wonky. The switches didn’t turn any of the kitchen lights on and the bathroom light didn’t work, even after the property management company sent someone over. I didn’t love these inconveniences, but it also didn’t stop me from enjoying the home. -via Airbnb

Manager's Response

Hello Neema, Thank you for your review! We are sorry there was an issue with the electrical. We are glad we were able to send someone over to help with the breakers during your stay and fix what we could. We called a licensed electrician to go over after you departed. They replaced the breaker boxes and everything is working as it should now! We are glad you still enjoyed the home and hope you can stay with us again :)

This home in the woods was the perfect getaway. Lovely, comfy home with all the amenities you would need. Well-stocked kitchen, plenty of towels and washcloths, a peaceful outdoor area, and a great hot tub. We didn't need any contact with the River Homes during our stay but they sent messages every day asking if all was good. Easy check-in and check-out. Do follow their instructions for parking--there is only room for 2 cars as they state and if you're not used to these narrow winding roads, you might find parking difficult...but the home is well marked. We especially loved all the wireless chargers available for our phones--2 in each bedroom and 1 in the living area. The stairs to the home will give you a bit of a workout but this was covered well in the listing. All in all, a great cozy little home. -via Airbnb

The town is nearby for any daily needs or food. The parking could be a bit tight. Both of our cars were full size but we were able to find parking pretty easily on the street. -via Airbnb

When I first saw the amount of stairs to walk down to the house from the road, I was nervous. But when entering this cozy cabin, I realized that it's actually nicer than the pictures convey. This is a very well-appointed home, with quality linens, blankets, appliances, etc. The art all around is beautiful, and it includes lots of convenient and techy touches. The hot tub was great! It's also super close to Guerneville and Safeway to get food and supplies quickly. It is fairly near a bigger road, so you can hear some road noise when you're outside, so if that is a concern – or if 50+ stairs is a concern – you might want to look elsewhere. But overall, it's a super cozy and comfortable Redwood getaway!-via Airbnb

Nestled among ancient redwoods, this Airbnb is a haven of tranquility. Considerate touches were everywhere from wireless phone chargers throughout the home, bug spray to a thoughtfully stocked kitchen and even dog treats. The hosts have anticipated every need. The true magic lies in the surroundings - a secluded retreat from the chaos of daily life. The interior is inviting, with tasteful decor and large windows framing nature's splendor. This Airbnb is a gem, a perfect escape for those seeking solace among the trees.-via Airbnb

An absolutely beautiful place for a sojourn in the woods that is still a quick 5-minute drive from the center of Guerneville. The highlight is the beautiful hot tub on the large deck area outside, which includes a grill, couches, an outdoor dining table, and festive lights at night. The kitchen is also great, and the fact that the bedrooms and on two different floors, both with large bathrooms, is a total plus. Be sure to take a photo of the gate, door, and wifi codes and other entrance information before you arrive, as the cell phone service is spotty up there. However, the wifi is great once you're connected. Fabulous place - I've already recommended it to many friends!-via Airbnb

We loved our stay at The Artist's Perch, it was a great week-long place to call home - and we did feel like we were at home. Of course, our only complaint would be the giant stairway down into the house (50+ steps!) - it was a pain to lug our bags and groceries down and to take the bags and trash, etc. out after our visit, but that's our only complaint. This is a great house and it's been wonderfully appointed and kept up.-via Vrbo

Can't express enough how beautiful the property is.

From the start of booking, arriving, and departure, Alyssa was wonderful with her communication, and the River homes team. There's another portal for additional info and communication they'll give you directly linked to your email- you can't go wrong with how thorough they are in this department. It rained two of the three nights we stayed, but that didn't stop us from enjoying the hot tub which comfortably fit the four of us, with plenty of room! Though central heating isn't tied into the bedrooms, there's plenty of heaters available. The entire place felt like home, filled with games, and books you can read and are encouraged to take! Even our dog Miles loved the place, we forgot his dog bowls and they had extra! I would stay again!-via Airbnb

Home is as cozy, quiet and creatively decorated as shown in photos. Space allowed for quality time amongst friends/family with a sense of being in the middle of the woods. Any more than four guest would feel a bit cramped. Kitchen is small but fine for small easy meals. Coffee maker, toaster, pots/pans, rice cooker, instant pot, and dishes were all available and well stocked. Wifi was great but we had to use home's landline to order take out. Verizon cellular data had reception, but AT&T didn't. Jacuzzi was nice and hot. Stairs weren't bad but not recommended for those with mobility challenges. There is dedicated parking above the property but space was tight for two compact SUVs along the fence. Location not ideal for dog walks and bathroom breaks. The one lane road felt safe and residence drove slow, but just not typical for dogs to do their business along the road with few open areas.-via Airbnb

We brought bikes to be able to ride into town as it's only a mile. What we didn't realize was how steep the incline to the property is and how many steps it took to get in to the house.

This is a wonderfully-cozy retreat for anyone looking for a quiet getaway in the Russian River area.

The beds and sofa were super cozy, the hot tub was easy to use, and the kitchen had everything you need + more I would say. Waking up to the views of the tall trees directly outside of the window is exactly as great as you would imagine. The location is also great as you're basically less than a 5 minute drive to the main part of town, and even closer to a Safeway for all grocery needs.-via Airbnb
