Private Home rental in Monte Rio, California - GRANDMA'S HOUSE - Property 22940

Grandma must have been a wealthy woman as this Grandma's House is top of the line in every way, with stunning decor, gorgeous architectural detail, and first class amenities. With four bedrooms and four baths, this river-front home occupies the historic Angelo's Little Sandy Beach property in Monte Rio, walking distance to downtown Monte Rio with its movie theater, restaurants, and boat rentals. Across the river is one of the best fishing holes in the area. The sandy beach is shared only with Jujube, the vacation rental next door, which sleeps two.

With around 2,600 square feet, this is a very spacious home in a grand style: wood paneling, massive stone fireplace, large gourmet kitchen, game room, radiant heating, and a 7' billiards table as well as a piano in the 31' living room. There are four decks, with three barbecues, and beautiful river and garden views, with a path leading to the sandy beach with canoe as well as a hot tub in a gazebo. This is an exceptionally stylish and comfortable home for those with very discriminating taste.

Each of two bedrooms has its own mini kitchen, television with VCR, and full bath with shower and oversized tub; one has a king bed and is wheelchair accessible, the other has a queen bed. The third bedroom has a king bed and shower for two, with a panoramic river view. The fourth bedroom also has a king bed and its own bath, with shower and oversized tub. A full size fold out futon and a single rollaway provide extra sleeping.

One bedroom has an exterior wheelchair ramp and its bathroom is wheelchair accessible. There is a portable device in the home that allows a wheelchair to wheel over the thresholds to get out onto the deck. The front entrance also has a ramp, but a wheelchair would have to be pushed up as it is rather steep.

November through April, holidays excepted, Grandma's House may be available as a three bedroom rental at a reduced rate.

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.
