Why This Home Stands Out Heart of the River brings wellness, nature, and Russian River fun together in one unique Guerneville getaway. Walk to the river, start the morning in your private yoga studio, soak in the hot tub, or retreat to the detached guest casita for a little extra space. A peaceful garden setting and chef’s kitchen make this an especially inviting home for reconnecting, relaxing, and slowing down.
Living Spaces The bright, inviting living area features comfortable seating, peaceful garden views, a Smart TV, and cozy gas fireplace. Warm natural light and an easy indoor-outdoor flow create a relaxing home base after river days, redwood hikes, and Wine Country adventures.
Kitchen & Dining The chef’s kitchen features granite counters and generous prep space for everything from casual breakfasts to special dinners at home. A large dining table surrounded by windows creates a welcoming gathering place, while the gas BBQ and outdoor dining deck take meals into the garden.
BEDROOMS & SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS Bedroom 1 — Queen Bed A peaceful Queen bedroom surrounded by the redwood setting.
Bedroom 2 — Full Bed A comfortable bedroom filled with warm natural light.
Bonus Bedroom / Office — Twin Bed A flexible sleeping space with a Twin bed and dedicated workspace.
Guest Casita — Sofa Sleeper A separate detached space with a sofa sleeper and arcade game, giving guests an additional place to sleep, play, or spread out.
Bathrooms One full hallway bathroom serves the main house with a comfortable, functional layout. An outdoor shower adds another refreshing option after river adventures or a soak in the hot tub.
Outdoor Living Heart of the River is designed for slowing down and enjoying the outdoors. Soak in the private hot tub, practice in the yoga studio, dine outside beneath the trees, grill dinner on the gas BBQ, or rinse off under the outdoor shower. Peaceful garden surroundings and multiple outdoor spaces create plenty of opportunities to relax and reconnect with nature.
