Private Home rental in Forestville, California - CASA DEL RIO - Property 22923

Relax in your hot tub, sun on the large, private deck, picnic on the river bank, sway in your hammock, boat across to a neighborhood beach.

Casa del Rio is a great hideaway for two to four people. Intimate and beautifully furnished, completely remodeled with Mexican tile floors and excellent artwork, Casa del Rio is a stone's throw to the best wine tasting road in Sonoma County, to the Hacienda Beach, and to the local market and video rental. This, along with Butterfly Cottage, is a ten minute drive to downtown Guerneville and a twenty minute drive to Healdsburg.

Casa del Rio has two bedrooms with queen beds and a bath with shower. In winter, its wood stove in the living room and hot tub on the deck make this a cozy getaway. In summer, this is a sunny spot, with its expansive lawn, river access, and two kayaks. The deck is partially covered and completely secure for dogs and small children. In winter there is a lovely river view from the river-front bedroom and deck. Although there are neighboring houses, the deck is completely private.

Forestville is most convenient to wineries, Sebastopol, and Santa Rosa, followed by Guerneville and Monte Rio.
There is little difference in temperature between Guerneville and central Monte Rio. Forestville will be slightly warmer, while Duncans Mills and Cazadero will be slightly cooler. There is no air-conditioning here (with a few exceptions): the ocean breezes provide natural cooling at night and homes in warmer areas have fans. The Northwood golf course area is 2 - 3 miles west of Guerneville and, although this is technically Monte Rio, these homes are as close to Guerneville as they are to central Monte Rio.

Duncans Mills is close to the ocean, with some marine influence, yet still enjoys warm, sunny days in the summer.

Cazadero is redwood forest, with an all-year creek running through it; in general the most secluded homes will be found here.

Homes along the river are generally not as private as the homes along the creeks or in the forest, although there are exceptions. The river homes are rarely fenced and most will have some small degree of road noise since River Road, running along the river, is the main artery for the area. We do have some river homes free of all road noise. If this is a major issue for you, please ask us.

There is a 24-hour Safeway and a health food store in Guerneville and smaller markets in Forestville and Monte Rio, as well as a general store in Cazadero. On Hwy 166 north of Sebastopol, Andy's Market is worth a stop. There are video rentals in all towns except Duncans Mills. Guerneville has bicycle rentals. The best shopping is in Guerneville and Duncans Mills.

Boat rentals are in Guerneville, Monte Rio, and Duncans Mills. Boating depends upon river and weather conditions and many homes with boats have seasonal docks. We cannot guarantee boating will be possible or safe anytime other than mid-June through mid-September.
