The Space:
Historically a ground level summer cabin, when raised above the 100 hundred year flood level some 15 years ago this cabin was extensively upgraded: recessed lighting in most areas, skylights, a bathroom with extravagant tub (perfect for an intimate soak?! ) and stand-alone shower stall.

The modern kitchen is well-equipped for cooking, though hosting a dinner for 6 adults would be the comfortable limit in this the compact home. It features stainless appliances: refrigerator is full size with bottom freezer; dishwasher has independently operated upper and lower chambers; propane fuels the instant delivery hot water heater, range with self-clean oven, both fireplaces and outside deck placed BBQ.

Privacy-fenced front yard is nicely trimmed, shaded by surrounding Redwood grove.

Guest Access:
Yours for your stay are the house, driveway and grounds, which are privacy fenced and so, secure for your pet(s), though leaving them un-supervised can sometimes result in noise nuisance to neighbors - we discourage leaving pets outdoors while you are not present.

John and Eric, your hosts, retain access via the driveway at all times to the ground floor garage and related spaces.

Guests retain sole possession of the fenced in area and raised home/hot tub.

The Neighborhood:
The cottage is 100 yards from beaches, and just over a mile from downtown Guerneville. It’s a short drive to wineries, and to Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve with its grand, peaceful, cathedral-like valley floor.

Getting Around:
Cab service is available, though a call will likely be required:
*Bill's Taxi - 1 (707) 869-2177), www.billstaxiservices.com/;
* Monte Rio Taxi - 1 (707) 849-6802; https://www.monterio-taxi.com/
Sonoma County Transit bus service originates in Santa Rosa (~ 20 miles east) come through, though infrequently.

Other Things to Note:
PETS:
While we are happy to share our home with family pets, we ask they do not sleep on the beds as fur becomes a significant issue for cleaning the sheets and duvet covers.

PLEASE NOTE A $50 PET CLEANING FEE will be requested when pets hair adds significantly to the cleaning of our homes.

Our neighbors are very sensitive to noise: your party is encouraged to enjoy a dinner party, but boisterous noise will prompt their ire. Should your definition of "boisterous noise" differ from theirs your hosts will agree with our reasonable neighbors (they understand ours is a resort town, reliant on the goodwill of its vacationing guests). Downtown is nearby, available and suitable for "PARTY HARDY ! " ;-))

Interaction with Guests:
Our home is three doors away, but we travel for long periods.

Guests receive self check-in instructions upon booking.

The physical layout ensures that, even when hosts access their on-property storage, guests' privacy is secure.
