Bird Watch From Private Spa, Teahouse, Wine Country, Dog Friendly!

Fall in love with Falling Leaf! We invite you to enjoy the charm of the Russian River Valley in the serenity of this secluded and private two parcel property located across from seasonal Hulbert Creek and just minutes from downtown Guerneville. Watch the falling leaves and enjoy the sounds of nature at our Falling Leaf vacation rental that features a 2 bedroom, 1 bath home and a separate Japanese teahouse. The remodeled house offers a country charm kitchen, modern bathroom, gas fireplace, flat screen TV and other modern amenities. If you desire a more serene and rustic experience, the Japanese Teahouse is a secluded sanctuary. Separate from the main house, this custom built wooden teahouse features a gas fireplace, slate floors, many windows with views in all directions, and easy access to the main home. This structure is designed for relaxing in the plush King bed and watching the trees, falling leaves and shooting stars.

From the deck that overlooks the seasonal creek, you can be soothed by the sights and sounds of nature. For a more private experience, wander to the patio area that backs up to a hill. This area is beautifully landscaped, featuring a wood-burning outdoor fireplace and private hot tub under the stars. Wherever you look, you can watch the falling leaves float to the ground while listening to the relaxing sounds of outdoor garden fountains. Whether you choose to walk to the beach, go wine tasting, play a round of golf at Northwood Golf Course, take a trip to the Sonoma Coast or go for a walk in the Armstrong Wood's redwood forest, it's all within a 15 minute drive.

This is the ideal spot to unwind, a perfect location for a romantic getaway, relaxing family vacation or just as an opportunity to hang out with friends. Whatever you choose, Falling Leaf is a memorable vacation experience.

Nice but small and musty.
The house was nice in a beautiful location with lots of green. The tea house that was separate from the main house seemed to have some leaks or water coming into the walls. It was very musty and moldy smelling. We opened the windows and aired out the space to make it bearable, but it was still noticeable. Otherwise, the place was fine.

Nice Stay in Redwoods
We really enjoyed our stay at Fallen Leaf! We really enjoyed having the room to spread out and relax in such a beautiful setting. The cabin instruction binder and local sites / restaurants were helpful, though the print was a bit small for some of us. :-) Anyhow, we had a nice time hiking in the Armstrong Redwoods and paddleboarding down the Russian River. One suggestion I might make is to install a slider screen on the kitchen slider door so that while using the propane gas stove there can be air circulation / venting. Thanks!

Falling Leaf
Beautiful nest in the redwoods, cozy yet expansive-feeling with decks, patios, hot tub, lots of windows/sliding doors to keep the trees in view. Good kitchen and bath, lovely Japanese tea house is a gorgeous 3rd bedroom just a little separate from house. On a nice woodsy street and very quiet. 5-min. drive to town. Only one caution: 30 uneven stops up from road to front porch level. Older or disabled people could have trouble. Other than that, heavenly.

Peaceful Forest Getaway
This forest getaway is a green, peaceful, and wonderful escape from city life. Nestled on a quiet street and up a whimsical long staircase through the property, the house and tea house are nestled. Everything was clean, cozy, and easy to find everything. The hot tub felt great after a full day of activity, and we loved the tea house bedroom!! So gorgeous! Would definitely stay there again!

The experience was lovely and simple. Lovely outdoor patios with comfortable seating and a large hot tub. The kitchen had an antique gas stove that added to the unique feel. The neighbor homes are very close but the lay out of the property does a fantastic job of creating privacy. Extremely quiet here.

We loved our stay but the Tea House electricity went out a couple of times and it was so cold/raining we could not enjoy it. We rented the house with excitement for the tea house. Only complaint.

Wonderful, peaceful stay
A great house! It has all you need, including lots of outside space to relax. The teahouse bedroom was very comfortable and secluded. House was in a very quiet and nice neighborhood. 5 mins to town and beaches. The only minor note - there is a long flight of stairs to get to the house, which might be tricky for folks with limited mobility.

A Magical Forest Hideaway
This property is gorgeous! The trees, deck, tea house and location make for a delightful getaway. Just across the road is a wonderful dry River bed that’s great for walking. The space was ideal for our dogs and well-fenced. There are neighbors on each side but the trees and ivy make you feel like you’re all alone. It’s only a few minutes from a Safeway and charming downtown Guerneville. The TV is much smaller than you might think but who needs it with nature just outside?

Amazing Getaway
Forest bathing at its best. Falling leaf is nestled amongst the trees with ample outdoor gathering space. The house itself is also roomy with tree top views. The spa, Weber grill and porch to the back of the house & a deck with hammock to the side was ideal for lounging. Appreciating the privacy that allowed us to have outside family conversations without disturbing others. Well equipped kitchen allowed for preparing home meals. The ambiance of Falling Leaf was just what we wanted and we would return. Perfect for couples or a family vacay.

Wonderful, Serene location to relax and unwind
Our family of 5 had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas at your house. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed the hot tub, the Tea House and the peace and quiet. The checking in and out instructions were very clear. We enjoyed the indoor fireplace and had fun family time. We LOVED the taco truck in the Safeway lot and the bookstore/cafe (cinnamon buns). We drove to wineries, Armstrong Redwoods, Fuller Beach and Bodega Bay. We would recommend for a quiet retreat.

This spot is one of my favorites for cozying up with close friends. It could really use an upgrade in the ability to integrate your electronics i.e. music instead of the CD player.

Peaceful and comfortable
A peaceful and comfortable setting. The surroundings of the greenery made for a peaceful stay. Nestled among trees we felt removed from hustle and bustle. Soaking in the tub within the forest added to this experience. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds comfortable, and everything we needed wa available. Our dog was safe within the fenced yard allowing us to further relax. We would return and recommend this house.
