Description

Available for 30+ Nights ~ The Nest at Otter’s Landing is a great choice for your longer visit to the Russian River! Ever wonder what it would be like to live in a tiny home? This delightful 200 square foot studio cabin offers travelers a glimpse. Ideal for a solo traveler or a couple, this tiny yet well-appointed space exudes warmth and charm. On a large property shared by two other cabins, guests enjoy access to a riverfront yard with seasonal dock, a designated parking space, and high-speed internet.

Up the flight of stairs, guests are greeted by a welcoming front porch with outdoor seating. The front door opens into the main living area with a comfortable queen bed (all linens and bedding provided), ensuring a good night’s sleep, and a relaxing place to lounge and watch TV. Through the small doorway is a full kitchen, efficiently designed, and equipped with essential appliances and cookware. The clever foldaway counter offers an additional prep space or can be used (with provided but not photo’d counter stools) as an indoor dining spot. Off the main living area, a door leads to a full modern bathroom with a shower, stocked with plush towels, and toiletries for your convenience.

Downstairs – below the deck - is an outdoor, covered dining patio exclusively for the use of The Nest guests. The large, shared yard ends at the bank of the Russian River, and a natural path and stairs lead down to the water. Stairs and a boat/swim dock are available in the summer months.

Located just a short distance from downtown Guerneville, guests have easy access to shopping and dining. Armstrong Woods is 4 miles, The Charles Schultz Airport is 17 miles, the Sonoma Coast is 15 miles, and Santa Rosa is 20 miles. Whether you're relocating to the area, on an extended trip or in the area for work, this cottage serves as an ideal base for your stay.

Property: The Nest is the smallest unit at Otter’s Landing - a three unit property in the Vacation Beach neighborhood of Guerneville, CA.

The large riverside yard and river access are shared by all three units.

Location: Otter’s Landing is in a cozy residential neighborhood. It is a mix of permanent residents and vacation rentals, families, working folks, and visitors. To honor this balance, we ask guests to park only in the area along the front fence and respect the quiet hours in addition to general family-friendly, residential neighborhood expectations. Sound carries so we ask guests to be aware of noise – especially once quiet time starts at 10 pm. Thank you for helping to continue the tradition of a mutually beneficial relationship between vacation rentals and local community!
