Sunlight filters through the redwoods as you step out onto the wraparound deck, a cup of coffee warming your hands. The quiet is broken only by birdsong and the soft rustle of trees swaying in the valley below. When evening falls, the glow of the fireplace and the open skylights above create a perfect setting for slow conversation under the stars.

Other Details to Note
⚠️ HOT TUB: Please DO NOT get directly in the hot tub after coming from the river. Algae will almost certainly get in the water from your hair and clothing and the hot tub will have to be emptied and cleaned. We ask you to please shower and wear a clean swimsuit in the hot tub. PET: We allow dogs under 50lbs but we would like to ensure that all guests are safe so if you bring your dog, please be respectful and do not allow them on the furniture, pick up their waste from the area, do not leave them alone in the house without supervision. Due to hosting dogs who may want to pee over cat smells and allergies, we do not allow cats or any other animal in the house, thank you for understanding. 🚗 DRIVE SAFELY: Please keep your speed to 10 MPH or less when driving up or down the gravel road. There are some cliffs along the way, so take your time and drive cautiously. 📄 TRAVEL INSURANCE: We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment. If you select the "Non-refundable" option, please note that this policy will be strictly enforced. However, if you need to cancel your reservation, we will offer a refund only if the property is successfully rebooked. 🐾 TICKS: Important Note About Local Wildlife: While our property offers beautiful, natural surroundings, we want to inform guests that ticks are present in the area, especially in wooded or grassy areas. To ensure your safety, we recommend wearing long sleeves and pants when hiking or walking through the woods. We also suggest checking yourself and pets for ticks after outdoor activities. For your peace of mind, we take extra precautions to minimize ticks around the property, but it's always a good idea to be aware of your surroundings and take preventive measures when enjoying nature. Please note that guests are responsible for taking necessary precautions against ticks during their stay. FLIES: While we do our best to keep the house fly-free, many flies may still find their way inside. We're unsure of the source but apologize in advance if you happen to notice any during your stay.

The Russian River watershed is home to many species, including some that are endangered or of concern. To help protect these animals and the ecosystem: - Avoid feeding or touching wildlife. - Keep a respectful distance. - Store food and scented items securely to prevent animals from being attracted to the house or property.
