Riverside Lodge House à Guerneville

Summary:
This bright home dazzles with stylish mid-century furnishings sourced from local antique shops and a brick-fronted fireplace. Prep meals in a warm kitchen to serve at a robust hardwood table; cookout on the private decked patio; enjoy a swim in the separately fenced-in pool (shared with the home next door). Pets are welcome! Enjoy walks on the longest stretch of beach in Guerneville across the street from the house and swim with the neighbors who enjoy the public river access.

Entry to this home is past the front deck into an original knotty pine cabin downstairs with contemporary re-finishing and central heat: refreshed living room with new gas fireplace has been opened via bar counter to the open-plan, fully equipped kitchen. This in turn opens to private back deck on way to private hot tub and shared heated pool* (with hot shower) on separately fenced in half of property. Ground floor bath with shower; two queen bedrooms; third bedroom on this (ground) floor is compact, with twin size bunk bed (all bedrooms offer closet/hanger space).

Top floor features vaulted ceilings in great room with flat screen, convertible couch and dining/gaming table opening onto west facing balcony; a front bedroom with bunk bed combination (twin upper/full size lower); vaulted master bedroom features California King bed, walk-in closet, private balcony overlooking back yard and shared swimming pool. Access to separate water closet is from great room; shared master bath with standing shower (note: the master bath's tub is non-operational.).

For even larger groups, consider renting our 2nd home 5 doors down at the Treehouse (sleeps 7): Treehouse: airbnb.com/rooms/530521

Or our intimate 1 bedroom Pumpkin home also on the same street (sleeps 2-3): Pumpkin House: airbnb.com/rooms/18252075

* Pool is heated to 80 degrees from about April thru October. It is shared with the next door property (owners) and provides a space for us to meet and enjoy the company of guests with our community of friends.

Guests have the entire house; each front & back porch (BBQ & laundry access here), 2nd floor outdoor balconies; hot tub, with a private gate to the shared pool/deck; off street parking for 4 autos. The Beach is just across the street from the house and accessible via public easement.

Owners live next door and have separate access to the pool/deck. Being all about building community, the large pool area is a space to share with friends old and new, while preserving access to your private hot tub/retreat, and rental home. The pool is heated in the summer/warm weather months.

The house is set across the street from the longest strip of public beach in town, on the south side of the Russian River. Guerneville’s charming downtown restaurants, antique stores, bars, and nightlife spots are a short drive away.

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/
* Ride services such as Lyft and Uber are not unknown, though the population density hereabouts (as compared to Santa Rosa, about 25 minutes away) influences availability

• Sonoma County Transit bus service originating in Santa Rosa (~ 20 miles east) come through, though infrequently.

The lodge is VERY dog friendly and the yard is secured by a gate. The Beach access is just across the street from the house, by public easement. Locals routinely have their furry friends playing off-leash at the river (while striving to maintain owner responsibility to 'pick up after' ;-).
