Great Trip Again
We've stayed at Clare's for the last 3 years and it's always an easy breezy time. She is on the ball with communication, her home is a short walk to town but also feels remote and the space is open and welcoming. Thanks again Clare!

Great house and location in Guerneville
Big, multi-level house with room for 8 but also privacy. Ideally located near river and downtown, but very quiet. Park with play structure and tennis/pickleball court right across the street. Owner is a very tasteful decorator and available for email assistance if needed. Big kitchen/living room/dining area and deck with BBQ and hot tub. Great for family gatherings.
