Hacienda - Russian River Forest Retreat with Unique Studio

Wake to redwood light filtering across the deck of this Forestville hideaway across the road from the Russian River, five miles north of town and twelve from downtown Healdsburg. A main-level queen bedroom plus a separate exterior-entry studio with its own queen and full bath sleep 4 between two private spaces — built for two couples who want their own coffee at sunrise.

Spend mornings on the deck breathing in forest air across the road from the Russian River, afternoons rafting or catching sun at Mother's Beach a mile away or tasting along Westside Road, and evenings lingering over dinner with bottles picked up in Healdsburg (12 miles) or Sebastopol (12 miles). Guerneville sits six miles down the road, with the wild Sonoma Coast at Jenner nineteen miles west.

Settle into the vaulted great room under warm tongue-and-groove pine ceilings, where the sofa and a teal velvet wingback gather around a whitewashed brick hearth kept as a decorative focal point. Stream a movie on the Smart TV or pull a book from the shelf as the forest quiets down outside the windows.

Cook in the open kitchen with granite counters, a gas range under the stainless hood, and an L-shape that flows straight to the dining table — the sliding glass door pours morning light across breakfast and opens onto the deck for an easy indoor-outdoor meal.

Retreat to the upstairs queen bedroom with its vaulted wood ceiling and garden-framed windows — the full bath up here has a bathtub for a post-river soak — then send the second couple downstairs to the studio, entered only from the exterior of the house, with its own queen and shower bath for true privacy.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Step through the French doors onto the upper deck, furnished with patio seating for morning coffee with birdsong or an evening glass as the redwoods settle into dusk. A second deck area extends the forest immersion downstairs.

WiFi is Starlink and works well.
The home stays naturally cool thanks to the shaded forest setting and cross-ventilation through multiple windows — you'll find the tree cover keeps temperatures comfortable even on warm days.
The unique layout with the separate studio accessed from outside works wonderfully for two couples or those who appreciate privacy.
The steep driveway is typical of hillside properties here — take it slow and you'll be fine.
No washer/dryer on-site, though Forestville has laundry facilities if needed for longer stays.
This is a peaceful neighborhood where quiet hours (10 PM - 8 AM) help preserve the tranquil forest atmosphere. The primary renter must be 21 or older.
