Located within a mile of downtown Guerneville and the Russian River, Valley Vista is a secluded forest bungalow perfect for a family or couples get-away – or even a scenic work retreat. Towering redwoods surround this home, which has been fully renovated with contemporary furnishings and up-to-date amenities even as it retains the feel of a picturesque river cabin.

Valley Vista delivers an experience of the Russian River Valley’s enchanting landscape in a setting both luxurious and highly private. With the home set atop a wonderfully landscaped slope, the views extend for miles to the West across the rolling hills. The backyard cascades down the hillside over three distinct levels, each with generous seating areas and a combination of sun and shade. On the main residence level is an expansive deck with a professional-grade gas grill, a teak dining set, an outdoor heater, and a full outdoor living area. Down one flight of stairs is a hot tub with room for six, as well as chaise lounges for relaxing after your soak. And one level below the hot tub is yet another patio offering the shelter of an expansive pergola, as well as a picnic table and a pair of hammocks. Whether hosting a family reunion or break-out sessions during a work retreat, this multi-tiered backyard invites a larger group to circulate as more intimate conversations and small-group activities emerge in the various seating areas. 27 solar panels and Tesla battery back-ups let you continue the fun even in the event of a power outage. We welcome up to two well-behaved dogs under 50 pounds to enjoy this property with you. Book your stay today and elevate your getaway with the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and serenity.
The immediate area offers a panorama of activities for your enjoyment. In addition to the Russian River and downtown Guerneville within walking distance, Valley Vista is a short drive from the Pacific coast, scenic hiking trails, golf courses, and celebrated wineries where you can savor the Russian River Valley and all Sonoma County has to offer. After a day spent enjoying this fabulous region, the comforts of Valley Vista will welcome you back to total relaxation in your home away from home.

Nice getaway in Guerneville
We had never been to the Russian River before, really, and we enjoyed getting away. The house was nice, family friendly (we had our 10-year-old with us), and very comfortable. We made use of the games, and we enjoyed being together in a relaxing environment.

This is an awesome place in a great location. Its a bit smaller than what pictures show, but very comfortable. The backyard and hot tub were great. Kitchen has good pots and pans, and decent collection of herbs and spices. Overall a very good experience and we would love to come back.

Relaxing Spot Near Downtown
This was the perfect spot for a family get away. My wife and I had my parents and brother out for a visit in the bay area and wanted a getaway to unwind. The house was well equipped for cooking dinners, relaxing, and catching up with our loved ones. It was close to downtown and the redwoods for a choose your own adventure type hike. Would definitely stay here again!

Too far from the river
I got the impression from the pictures that the property was near the river. It was at the top of a hill, steep drive to the top, sheer drop-off in the forest behind the property. It was beautiful, literally living in a forest, but it was remote from the river and the ocean. We did love seeing the Armstrong Redwoods and they were just a few minutes from the property.
