Private Home rental in Monte Rio, California - RIVER QUEEN - Property 22968

With seven bedrooms and five and a half baths, sleeping 20, River Queen enjoys a spectacular river front setting on several acres.

Formerly the Koret family summer home, with 5,500 square foot of living space, extensive grounds with willow and redwood trees, stunningly furnished in 1930's style antiques, this is the ultimate in grace, luxury, and comfort. There are two levels, each complete as a living unit, so the house can provide separate spaces for two groups.

Each level has a magnificent stone fireplace. The upstairs main living area has a separate dining room and a sun porch, approximately 47 feet long, overlooking the river, equipped with ?Titanic? style loungers. The three bedrooms have a king bed and two queens, and there is a trundle (two single beds) on the sun porch and a single day bed in the living room.

There is a large hot tub on its own deck under the redwood trees, with a view of the river.

Downstairs there is a large combination living/dining room, with wet bar/kitchen pass-through, tiled floor and mini office setup with high-speed cable Internet access, and pool table. With leather couches around the fireplace, this is a perfect space for conferencing, working retreats, and meetings. Two bedrooms have two twin beds each, two more bedrooms, accessible only through the first two bedrooms or from the deck, have a king and a queen bed.

There is a single daybed in the living room and a set of bunk beds in the large recreation room. The downstairs level has a deck and patio furniture. A gas barbecue is on a small deck off the dining room.

A broad staircase leads to a concrete pier for sunning, fishing, and swimming. A canoe and kayaks await you. This house has a $1,000 security deposit against damage which is released upon owner inspection.

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.
