Enchanted Forest Estate ~ Large Riverfront Property, Great for Groups!

The Enchanted Forest property features two 4 bedroom, 4 bath homes situated on three acres of riverfront property. The two spacious homes, Contente and Culture Blend, offer sleeping accommodations for 28 people. Each home features a 3 bedroom main house, a separate 1 bedroom suite, 2 kitchens, a recreation room and a spa. The main living spaces offer high ceilings, hardwood floors and a large open living/dining room. The fully equipped kitchens come complete with new appliances and breakfast areas. Many of the rooms, including both living rooms and 6 of the 8 bedrooms, feature glass doors leading out to large decks facing the river with outdoor dining and gas grills.

Both homes offer large garages with recreation rooms. Culture Blend has a pool table, ping pong, foosball, air hockey and video games. Off the patio is a spa with a gazebo. Contente has a pool table, ping pong table and a spa on the patio above the yard.

Enjoy excellent access to the Russian River from this riverfront property. Fishing, swimming and boating opportunities await just a short walk away. To access, walk down the custom rock stairway and across the tree-filled lawn to the short path leading to a large river beach. During the summer months, 2 boats are included (1 canoe and 1 kayak).

Know Before You Book:

Parking: On-site parking is permitted for a maximum of 8 vehicles. RVs, trailers and campers are prohibited, per the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance.

Heat Source: Both homes have central gas heat.

Rec/Game Rooms: The game rooms are uninsulated spaces without central heating. There is a portable electric heater in the game rooms.

A/C: The houses do 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.

Location: The Enchanted Forest Estate is located approximately 1.5 miles east of downtown Guerneville on River Road, a busy two-lane road that connects Guerneville to Highway 101. Due to double wall construction, there is very little road noise inside the home, as well as on the back deck and lower lawn area.The driveway and front staircase face the road. All outdoor living areas are shielded from the road by the home, natural surroundings and a 10-foot high privacy fence (at the front of the property only). The neighborhood is a mix of residential and commercial. Neighbors include full-time residents, a local pub, a deli, a self-serve carwash and a gas station/mini mart. Be aware that though there is a visual privacy, the carwash can be heard when in use and noise from the pub may be heard. We have had very few mentions from guests about either of these establishements. Please contact our office if you have any questions about the proximity of the road or any other questions about the property. Members of our staff have stayed at this property and loved it!

Additional Amenities: Both homes provide televisions in the bedrooms and living rooms. Recreation room items: foosball, pool table, air hockey, ping pong, arcade basketball, karaoke and video games.

Please note that there is an annual event, the Russian River Beer Revival, that happens around the third weekend in August. This is a weekend event at the brewery immediately next door to Culture Blend. The event has live music, a BBQ cook-off, and a lot of people drinking beer. It will be loud on the Friday and Saturday of the event. The exact dates of the event will be listed on the Stumptown Brewery's website.

Lots of Toys for Families
The property was well equipped with plenty of "toys" (pool table, kayaks, ping-pong, hot tubs) for large family groups. Unfortunately, it was not well maintained. The several of the inner tubes had holes which weren't discovered until inflated. A pump for all the inflatables would also be helpful. The TV in the main Culture Blend room did not permit logging in to our personal Netflix or Hulu account NOR could you mirror a device through AirPlay (standard now in most VRBOs). The TV in the Calente basement did work OK for streaming. Also, the car wash next door was pretty noisy.

Celebration of life for Mom and Dad
We had a wonderful time here with three generations of family to celebrate the life of our Mom and Dad. The accommodations were perfect for an extended family. There were plenty of things for everybody to do, the pool tables, ping-pong, air hockey, hot tubs, large dining table, . This is not your average Vrbo, it is so well stocked for large groups that you don’t really need to bring any of your own from home. I would recommend this for any large group or family that wants to all get together and have a great time. We came in April, so the river was running to swift for us to use any of the summer activity items, kayaks, paddle boards, rafts., Lifejackets, etc, The place is stocked with everything you would ever need to have a fabulous week, weekend, or 2 day getaway

Awesome house on Russian River for reunion
We rented the two houses for a reunion weekend of 6 families (12 adults and 11 kids between the ages of 1 and 10). We all had a blast. There were plenty of space for all of us to sleep with multiple en-suite bathrooms that are convenient and provided privacy. We utilized the kitchen for both houses to cook our meals, as well as both grills on the deck, and ate in either dining rooms or on the deck. One day we did an oyster run to Hog Island and brought back oysters to eat raw and grill, YUM! It's only about a 40 min drive away. Some adults also went out wine tasting near by. The TV and sitting areas are nice with big sofas for the kids. The game rooms in the garage are great for slightly older kids and adults. There are plenty of outdoor space including the deck and back yard leading to the river. The appliances are clean, updated, and functional. The location is super convenient if you are driving up from San Francisco. Russian River is a beautiful and playing on the bank of the river was fun for the kids. I would highly recommend this place if you have a large gathering of families.

Lots of space!
Our reservation mentioned that there were two units, and we thought they meant a main house plus the suite that it was attached to. The reservation actually included TWO complete houses each with main space and suite. Sleeping space was abundant and the four kitchens were super handy when cooking for the group. Hot tub, grill, and several pool tables provided plenty of entertainment when my friends returned from their activities in the area. Great value overall.
