The Black Nest -"Stunning, Private Mini-Resort for Couples or Small Groups. Near Downtown Guerneville, the River, Golf & Wineries!"
Tucked beneath a canopy of ancient redwoods in the heart of the Russian River, The Black Nest is a contemporary sanctuary created for comfort, connection, and deep relaxation. Its striking black exterior and warm wood accents set a sophisticated woodland tone, while cozy contemporary furnishings and a brand-new hot tub invite you to unwind from the moment you arrive.
The private bedroom offers a peaceful, restful escape, and additional sleeping space allows up to four guests to stay comfortably. Inside, the inviting layout is ideal for quiet mornings with coffee, leisurely afternoons, and intimate evenings by the fire.
Step outside to the fully enclosed, dog-friendly yard—perfect for dining under the trees or stargazing in total serenity. Spend your days kayaking or swimming along the nearby river, hiking scenic redwood trails, or wine tasting throughout Sonoma County.
Then stroll just one mile into downtown Guerneville for charming restaurants, local art galleries, and laid-back river town charm.
Whether you’re soaking in the hot tub beneath the trees or savoring the stillness of the forest, The Black Nest offers an intimate yet refined escape where nature slows you down and comfort restores you.

The Vlack Nest was perfect for our weekend getaway. Close to the river, the city, and hard everything we needed for our stay.

the house was very small but was cozy and comfortable. The outdoor space was lovely, especially the hot tub. It was a bit noisy with neighbors right above and next door at times. We felt it was a bit overpriced for the size and location but we would be happy to visit again. the house was nicely appointed with thoughtful amenities for guests.

Amazing little bungalow in the redwoods!

My husband and I booked a two week stay here, the property was absolutely amazing! Great interior design, the exterior gardens were also elegantly put together and serene. We enjoyed the fantastic hot tub in the evenings. Plus, it's all conveniently just a mile away from everything in downtown Guerneville. Will definitely stay again!

Cozy and tastefully equipped

Black Nest is conveniently located and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the property. The hosts were welcoming and had a small bag of supplies for s’mores which our kids really enjoyed. Though the property is small, it’s well equipped and we had everything we needed. It’s conveniently located with easy access to downtown and the beach. Our kids specially enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor heaters that made for a fun evening activity with s’mores.

Weekend Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We live in San Jose and visited for the weekend. We were immediately struck with how beautiful and well appointed this rental was. Everything was decorated very nicely and we enjoyed every minute. We had a down pour of rain while there, but don't let that make you decide not to go. We enjoyed our wine and the hot tub even while it was raining because they thoughtfully covered the hot tub area with a canopy. Highly recommend staying here!

Fantastic, well-appointed romantic getaway

The overall size of the Black Nest is perfect for a 2-person romantic getaway. Though, many would call it cozy, I feel I would say it had no wasted space. It was just enough for two adults to have a romantic weekend: not too small, not too big. 4 adults? Not so much, unless you are rarely there or are very close. Well-appointed, with a gorgeously appointed kitchen. Everything was black and gold, and the utensils for cooking were plentiful. Enough pots and pans and mixing bowls and cutting boards for us to cook dinner and breakfast. The bed was comfortable, with great sheets and bedding. Soft and quality. The overall bedroom was small, but again, well appointed in a minimalist sense, and it felt so vary romantic. We could lounge there for hours, and it felt luxurious and unique. The bathroom could use a shelf or place to put your makeup bag, but overall it was cute, quality, and had great water pressure. I also like that it is at the back of the house, and away from the bedroom and main area. The gas fire pit was nice in the evening. Parking was across the street, and a bit limited. If you have a giant full-sized truck, you may be reaching the limit of parking in the two stalls provided.

Fantastic house with everything we needed for a full week exploring the area. The fire pit was a perfect way to relax after a long day. The kitchen was stocked with everything we could need. Loved snuggling in and watching our favorite shows on a comfy couch with a big tv. We absolutely loved this house.

Perfect Honeymoon Stay!

Having stayed at many a short term rental, there are three simple yet crucial things that make a stay go from good to great: clean digs, comfortable beds, and quality linens. The Black Nest has all of these things and much more. The location is serene, the amenities are quality (hot tub & fire pits especially), and there’s plenty to do in and around the area. We had a wonderful stay for our mini honeymoon in Sonoma County. Choose the Black Nest for your next Russian River getaway - I know we will!
