★ Magical Forest Retreat — A Russian River Redwoods Escape ★
Tucked into a redwood forest just minutes from Forestville's wineries and the Russian River, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is built for slow mornings and starlit nights. Soak in the private hot tub under the redwoods, gather around the gas fire pit, sink a putt on the green, or open a Sonoma bottle on the top deck while dinner cooks in the chef's kitchen.
★ Perfect for ★
Wine-country weekends for couples and friend groups • multi-generational family trips (booster seat, baby gates, baby bath, board games, and a den built for movie nights) • dog-friendly getaways (up to 2 well-behaved pups under 55 lbs welcome) • remote-work stays with 573 Mbps wifi and a dedicated office.
★ The home ★
Walk in to a vaulted-ceiling living room flooded with light from floor-to-skylight windows. The chef's kitchen flows onto a deck with treetop views — the kind of space where everyone ends up cooking together. Upstairs: master bedroom (king), formal dining for 8, and the main bath. Downstairs: family/game room, two bedrooms (queen + queen), a second bathroom, an office, and laundry. Step out from the family room to the hot tub deck — the view at night, with no city light pollution, is the part guests write home about.
Down another set of stairs you'll find lush gardens, an outdoor dining area, the gas fire pit, and a generous putting green.
★ The location ★
A 5–15 minute drive to Korbel, Iron Horse, Joseph Swan, Hook & Ladder, Porter-Bass, and DeLoach Vineyards. Steelhead Beach and Sunset Beach are minutes away for swimming and kayaking on the Russian River. Guerneville (15 min) and Healdsburg (~30 min) are easy day trips. Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve is right next door if you want a hike under 300-foot trees.
★ Good to know ★
A car is recommended — Uber works but isn't always quick. The home is on a hillside with stairs between levels (not ideal for guests with mobility limitations). The hot tub is open to the deck and not gated, so we recommend supervision for young children. Quiet hours from 9 PM are mandated by Sonoma County and we ask that you respect them — the silence at night is part of the magic.
