Unique space right along the Russian River

We enjoyed this house. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and all thst was needed for cooking big communal dinners. The house is quite beautiful, with an interior patio, outdoor deck, and hot tub area. The room with 3 beds was a bit cramped for several adults but workable. Overall, it's a.nice spot that's most enjoyable during the summer when you have direct access to the river.

wonderful house with river access

The house was immaculate. Arrival and departure were easy. We love the location. The only thing that was a surprise was the steep path, in deep sand, down to the water's edge from wood stairs of the main path. The level of difficulty for that section of the path does not show in pictures and was not described.

Sweet Riverfront Time

My group and I had a wonderful stay at True North! The check in/out process was super easy. The home is true to pictures. It had a great layout and we all enjoyed the main kitchen/living room space a great deal. Loved the inner atrium! Kids enjoyed the hottub and the renovated bathrooms are lovely. Beds are comfy! We came in the winter so didn't use the deck at all or even go down to the river, but we did love the wood stove and taking walks in the neighborhood around the golf course. The home is wonderfully situated near Guerneville & Monte Rio; we went on hikes outside of Occidental and got to the coast easily for oysters and sunset beach time. It was a super lovely place to stay. It is near the main road, so you do hear a little traffic, but not a big deal. Thanks True North!

Beautiful house, nice hot tub

It’s a beautiful house with a nice hot tub, newly renovated ground floor bathroom and a good array of cooking equipment. A few things detracted from our enjoyment — cold upstairs bedroom with no heating (used the space heater), a kitchen cabinet door fell off the hinges, a loud leaf blower at the golf course across the street started at 6 am everyday. The service and owner fees were quite high, so it's hard to understand why they expect guests to take out the garbage. Nevertheless, the deck overlooked the river and the beautiful fall foliage, many cute towns were very close and we had a wonderful weekend.

Naomi was very responsive to our few inquiries. There was an issue with the hot tub which was addressed immediately. Lovely location for playing in the river and using as a base before adventuring.

This is a beautiful property in an amazing location. I can’t recommend it enough! The house itself is so unique and special, well-appointed, and comfortable. The deck is perfect for watching the river with your morning cup of coffee. My family had a great time with the kayaks and SUP board. The path to the water does require a strong, healthy adult to carry the kayaks. The river at the time we visited was very slow moving and safe for my teen and preteen. It was not more than chest deep in the immediate area. The hot tub was clean and relaxing after a day on the water. Just a note if you are particular about water, there is tap water available for drinking from the sinks, but no ice. So bring filtered water or ice if you need it. Don’t miss the opportunity to stay at True North, you won’t regret it!
