Description

Boathouse is a classic 3 bedroom, 2 bath, riverfront home featuring a two level deck with river views. It is conveniently located next to a large sandy neighborhood beach. Boathouse is a one level home (all rooms situated on the upper level) with wood floors, a living room with a fireplace, 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and a downstairs basement with a pool table and ping pong table.

Enjoy river views as you dine al fresco on the large back deck or relax on the upper sitting deck. Boathouse offers a yard area with river views and a brand new floating dock(photos of dock coming soon)! Additionally, it is just a short walk to a sandy, dog-friendly neighborhood beach. The home includes a double and 2 single kayaks (available mid-June through mid-September).

Know Before You Book:

Maximum Occupancy and Quiet Hours: The maximum occupancy at Boathouse is 7 people. Quiet hours are from 10:00 pm until 7:00 am. Outdoor amplified sound is prohibited at any time.

Parking: There is parking in the driveway for 2-3 cars. RVs, trailers and campers are prohibited, per the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance.

Bed Sizes: First bedroom: King bed; Second bedroom: Queen bed; Third bedroom: 1 Queen, 1 Twin bed

Heat Sources: Central heat, wood burning fireplace (no firewood or kindling provided).

Rec/Game Room: The game room is an unheated, uninsulated space. Temperature varies throughout the year.

A/C: The house does not have air conditioning. Being near the coast, the night time temps drop and just opening some windows is usually enough to cool the house.

Docks and beaches are seasonal only and available from mid-June to mid-September providing the summer dams are in. Canoes, kayaks, paddleboats and rowboats that are provided in some of our homes are also available from mid-June to mid-September only. The river is usually too swift for boating in the winter and many docks and beaches are under water until late spring.

A note about the lot next door: Construction is happening in the lot next door, beginning at 8 am on weekdays. Crews are not typically active on the weekends. The amount of noise from the activity will vary as the project progresses. The project is expected to last through sometime in 2024.

Perfect Summer Getaway

Reviewed on 2024-07-25 by Tiffany
Overall
5

Hands down one of our favorite family summer vacations. The cottage itself was stocked well and provided a comfortable spot for cooking, sleeping, and out-of-the-sun activities (board games, cards, puzzles, pool, and ping pong). The real treasure of this property is the direct access to the river including your own little floating dock. We spent hours multiple times a day on the water. The hosts provide a variety of floating toys in addition to a couple of river kayaks. I really can't speak highly enough of our experience staying at the Boathouse. It was R&R at its best. Thank you!! -via Vrbo

Manager's Response

Hello Tiffany, We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! It is a great area to stay in and we are happy you appreciated the home and its surroundings. Thank you for your kind words and for being such fantastic guests! We would love to host you again :)

We loved our stay and hope to return. This house has great water access from a private dock and a large deck. We really appreciated having access to 3 kayaks for our use. We brought many bikes with us and it was great to be able to secure them in the garage (the property manager originally told us that guests didn't have access to the garage, but fortunately that wasn't true. One upgrade suggestion would be to add code key remote so the garage can be opened from outside, rather than only through the Recreation Room). -via Vrbo

Manager's Response

Hello Dan, We apologize for any confusion! Guests are able to access part of the garage to bring the boats down to the dock during their stay. We are so glad you were able to store your bikes and enjoyed the home! We would love to host you again :)

This was an adorable home and perfectly adequate for our short stay. Beds were comfy, dining table was big enough for our family. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies, too. We were disappointed that the dock had been taken in (September 22 is still kinda mid-month ;-) and that the beach was rather a steep hill of rocks. We went to Johnson's and it was fine. Like I said it was a short stay and we only had one full day to relax. Thank you so much for your hospitality, your home is lovely and we all had a great weekend.-via Airbnb

Manager's Response

Hello Melissa, Thank you for your review! We are sorry you were disappointed the dock was removed. The summer dams along the river start being uninstalled around September 15th (mid septemeber) and most docks and boats get tucked away for the off-season at that time. We are glad overall you enjoyed your stay! And we would love to host you again, especially during the summer months!

House was very clean and convenient to use. Directions on how to use the property and what to be aware of is very clear. We had a small issue with the sliding screen door being off its track when we arrived. They were very responsive and a handyman came to fix it the next day. The house was a great place to relax with tons to do at the house and in the neighboring areas.-via Airbnb

We loved the stay! House was cozy and filled with lots of activities, puzzles, board games, movies, etc. we had to hunt down all the pool table balls, but ended up finding the whole set! The table was a bit on a slant but we were able to prop up one of the legs so we could play. Deck was fully gated and our dog loved it! Bbq and outdoor seating was nice under the giant redwood tree.

We love staying on the river and this place was great for a quick weekend getaway. Communication was solid pre and during our stay. One thing to note, the kayaks/canoe are up at the house and there is no way to secure them to the dock, so we were not able to use them. It's a lot of steps up and back, so wasn't worth hauling them each day. This was a bit of disappointment as being out on the water in the morning and evenings is one of our favorite things to do - otherwise everything was as described and we have a lovely weekend.-via Airbnb

Manager's Response

Hello Bessie, We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We also wanted to thank you for letting us know about the boats at the home. We are sorry you were disappointed with the set up at the time and we also appreciate your communication and kindness. We did reach out to the person who installed the dock and he let us know that we could secure the boats there and let us know how to do so for future stays. We would love to host you again and hope to soon!

It's a really nice peaceful place , very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Flawless text communication with the host. Which it was so nice that they let us have an early checking, 5 starts on that. It is a private area and a cute playroom ! Staying at the boathouse is one of the best travel experiences we have ever had! Starting with the excellent communications with the host where have answered all my questions, I couldn’t have a better choice to this BEAUTIFUL place , it could not have been smoother.

This cabin was exactly what we were looking for! Nothing fancy but everything cozy and comfortable with plenty of room for six humans and two dogs. The location was ideal, the dock was a most relaxing way to spend a few hours watching the kayakers, ducks and birds float by. The beach was just a minute down a little path. We got plenty of use of the kitchen cooking every night. And the kayaks, game room and corn hole were all put to fun use. We look forward to visiting again!

Perfect Vacation

Prior to this trip, I did not realize I could have a relaxing vacation when traveling with my 5- and 3-year olds, not to mention my dog. This house is super comfortable, beautiful while still being kid- and pet-friendly, and has a slew of thoughtful touches and amenities. The view is everything I wanted, being literally right on the water is perfect, and having kayaks in the garage meant we didn't have to go anywhere or interact with anyone. This is very helpful for both my people the introverts and also for going on vacation in a pandemic. Lots of delicious restaurants and a Pee Wee Golf course that my kids are still talking about within 5 minutes drive. I started counting down to our next trip here as soon as we left.

Super rad times!

This place was great! Super cute. Definitely dog friendly. There was lots of kitchen supplies and plenty of bathroom things/ towels/ toilet paper too. The driveway fits plenty of cars easily. The backyard was nice and big and you could access the river (slight drop off). The walk to the beach out the front yard was quick and easy.

Comfortable and Stocked

Just finished a girl's weekend at the Boat House. The home was comfortable and stocked with everything we could possibly need for an enjoyable stay. Great game room, decks. views and just steps from the Russian River. We are already talking about a return visit. Thank you for having us. :-)via Glamping Hub

Our stay at the boat house was so enjoyable. Our extended family had sleeping space for all, plenty of dishes, cookware, and play space to feel like a home away from home.via AirBnB

We spent a week at the Boat House with our 16-21 year old kids and everyone loved it. Two of our picky teens arrived before the rest of the group and advised us by text that the place was "amazing." We were happy to find out they were right when we arrived. The young people loved the basement rec room, making good use of the pool table and ping pong table. The following day we found it was easy to carry the two kayaks and tubes from the garage down to the nearby beach. The house was well-stocked and provided everything we needed to prepare meals and clean up after them. The house was nice and quiet at night, apart from a few loud cars on River Road. But that's going to happen with about any house on the river. Everyone slept comfortably and the place stayed nice and cool despite some warm daytime temperatures. We'd definitely stay again.

Nice location and clean Place

Well organized, good directions to unit. Easy way to get access in. Most had some amenities like shampoo and coffee. Not issue, just speaks well for those who provide.

Us and another family stayed here and had a fantastic time. The house was clean, everything worked great and was safe for the kids. The neighborhood was clean and quit and the neighbors were nice. Plenty of safe parking including the garage. Although I would have like access to a garage remote to open and close it. The only negative I have are that virtually all the games were missing most if not all the pieces needed to play. So bring your own games. The VHS movie collection was fantastic though many classics. The beds were very comfortable. The beach and river access is great after taking a very short walk. Overall I would stay here again.

Awesome Stay at The Boat House!

Had a fabulous time in Guerneville, CA. We came to Guerneville to attend the Russian River Jazz Festival at Johnson's Beach, which is a yearly thing. It usually falls on the second weekend in September. Two years before, we stayed at another vacation rental on the same side as Johnson's Beach. There were 3 couples so a total of 6 people.We arrived on Friday, 9/8. One of the couples within our group actually arrived a little earlier and they were accommodated with an early check-in. I got there a little after 4 and the Boathouse was amazing and much better than our last rental. It was in such a great location and a short walk to the festival. There was enough room for 3 cars to park comfortably. I loved the fact that the house was fully stocked with almost everything that we needed.Upon entering the house it felt so homey with ample room and comfortable furniture. The living room was cozy with a nice fireplace. We didn't utilize the fireplace because that weekend it was super hot.We did a lot of cooking so it was nice that the kitchen was open to the dining area and we were all able to socialize while some of us cooked. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans and utensils and seasonings.There was another room facing the front of the house where the TV was located. There was only 1 TV in the entire home but it was ok because we didn't spend too much time in there. The guys did watch Sunday Football in there. The guys spent time in the basement playing pool and ping pong.The 3 bedrooms were all different in design, but all were extremely comfortable and with enough room to move around with ease.The lower deck and sitting deck I think was my favorite thing about the place. You could overlook the Russian River and watch the people in their canoes or kayaks going by. The only thing that I would point out is the house didn't have air conditioning and since the back of the house faced the sun it got extremely hot in the afternoon hours. But, as the evenings approached the breeze would kick in and it just felt absolutely perfect.Overall our weekend getaway in this fabulous house was more than what we anticipated and we ended up creating more priceless memories and our friendship and family bond that much more solid. We had such a good time that we're already talking about next year!!!!!

The house is lovely with great decks. (If only it would have stopped raining). Has a great downstairs game room that kept the grandchildren entertained as well as a large library of movies. (Rain). The neighborhood is quiet and lovely. I would definitely recommend this house for a vacation rental.
