Description

Leo's Lodge is not your typical river home. Beautifully remodeled with a gourmet kitchen, luxurious amenities, and modern aesthetic, you'll never want to leave this spacious redwood retreat! Nestled into a hillside, wrap-around decks and porches lead to the very private pool, hot tub, outdoor shower, BBQ and romantically lit outdoor dining. This is your personal oasis away from the world and the hammock beckons!

Inside, you'll be just as relaxed in front of the living room fireplace (gas), extra-large curved-screen TV and BandW speaker system wired throughout the house. With an open floor plan, it's perfect for groups and families. Thoughtful details, original art and photographic prints adorn each room. Three of the 4 bedrooms have en- suite bathrooms with delightfully tiled showers, and with 4.5 bathrooms no one has to share!

The kitchen is a chef's delight with all stainless appliances, Thermador 6-burner commercial gas stove top and matching hood, separate microwave convection oven combo, Thermador traditional warming drawer and wine fridge. Featuring ample Cesar Stone counter space and boasting bar seating for "team" cooking and passing dishes to the dining table, the kitchen opens to the dining and living rooms, which seat 8 comfortably.

Know Before You Book:

Maximum Occupancy and Quiet Hours: The maximum occupancy at is 8 people. Quiet hours are from 9:00 pm until 7:00 am. Outdoor amplified sound is prohibited at all times.

Parking: There is parking for 4 cars. Two cars may park in the garage and 2 more can park in the driveway. Street parking is scarce. RVs, trailers and campers are prohibited, per the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance.

Bed Sizes: First bedroom: King bed; Second bedroom: King bed; Third bedroom: Queen; Fourth bedroom: 2 twin beds - King conversion provided, please ask in advance.

Pool: The pool is available year-round. The pool is heated Memorial Day Weekend to Columbus/Indigenous Peoples' Day Weekend.

Heat Source: This house has central heat and a gas fireplace in the living room.

Cooling: The house does not have air conditioning. Being near the coast, the night time temps drop and just opening some windows is usually enough to cool the house.

Stairs: There are approximately 30 steps to the front door - which is at the middle level of the house and there are roughly 3 flights of stairs from the lowest level (garage) to the upper level. There are several sets of stairs between decks and the yard - all of which have gates for kid and dog safety.

Fencing: The entire yard is fenced and *mostly* dog-proof, but there are storm drains that must remain open in winter that do allow curious dogs an escape route to the street or the back hill. We recommend walking the fence line before letting dogs off leash. Never leave your dog unattended by the pool or outside when you are not home, or overnight. There are gates and door alarms for pool safety.

Proximity to Wineries: There are several wine tasting rooms in downtown Guerneville approx. 1.8 miles.

Nearest River Beach: The nearest river access is 1.1 miles - though the beach is variable.

Nearest Ocean Beach: The coastal beaches in Jenner are approx. 14 miles.

Alyssa and the folks at River Homes took great care of us! When the pool had an issue at the place we originally booked, River Homes kindly upgraded us to a beautiful home in the same area. The house was gorgeous and clean. The kitchen was well stocked and the hot tub felt amazing. Me and my friends had an amazing time! I highly recommend River Home's for your next getaway in the Redwoods -via Airbnb

Lovely place, close to town, very affordable. Hosts were helpful and pleasant. My issues were: - It is quite a long way through a narrow residential area with narrow streets and blind corners. We came close to getting clobbered by big pickup trucks a couple of times - The hosts required us to give them external contact info. That clearly violates AirBNB policy. -via Airbnb

Manager's Response

Hello Dave, We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We are required to have an email and alternative phone number to contact in case of emergency per the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance and is ok for us to ask this via Airbnb. We appreciate your feedback!

I spent a couple nights here with friends, and it was a perfect time. The property is great. It's in a woodsy, quiet neighborhood, and the house itself is much bigger than I thought it'd be. The team's communication was great, too. When I had questions, they were quick to respond to my texts. One of the best Airbnbs I've visited. -via Airbnb

We had a group of eight, 4 adults in their 50s, my two daughters (lower 20s) and their two boyfriends. Place was great. Had concerns about there not being any air conditioning as the local forecast had the temperature hitting the low 90s on two of our days. Turned out not to be a problem. The place is about a mile into the redwood forest from the main road and very well shaded. Temperature drops when the sun starts heading down and with open windows, it became quite cool in the evening. Pool cover was broken and the exhaust fan on the stove was also not working, but otherwise, everything was in great shape. The neighborhood is very relaxing for walking about in. -via Airbnb

This was a great, clean space for our family with a large communal space for us to share. The scenery is beautiful and the daily short drive to downtown Guerneville was easy. We did not need to reach out to the host for anything, but the communication from the property management company gave us confidence that any questions we may have had would have been addressed in a timely fashion. Definitely recommend. -via Airbnb

Leo's Lodge was as described -- spacious, comfortable, and immaculate. It was a great getaway for a group of friends who wanted a chill weekend of cooking, soaking, and playing games. The robes in each room were the perfect touch. I had a couple of questions and the hosts were very responsive. The living room could use a little more seating (one armchair had a finicky cushion but it was easy enough to pull dining room chairs over). I want to go back in the summer when we can use the pool and deck! Great spot, great house, great hosts! -via Airbnb

Beautiful and serene surroundings

The house is located in a Redwood forest. The beautiful and serene surroundings make it your own woodland getaway. The house itself has 4 bedrooms and 4-1/2 bathrooms with three of the bedrooms having their own ensuite bathrooms. All couples enjoyed the space and privacy . The beds were very comfortable and the linens were soft. The downstairs bedroom that is not connected to its own bathroom had a walkout to the hot tub which makes it convenient so you didnt have to go outside and up or down the stairs every time. The only downside is to get to the home is a journey. Driving through Guerneville is … pretty interesting and getting into the neighborhood where the house is located has many narrow turns and single car size lanes so watch out for other cars! The outside deck where the pictures show lively and colorful decor was not found on our arrival. The deck looks like it does need a power wash and there were huge cobwebs around the sliding glass doors. But,we still enjoyed our stay.-via Airbnb

Manager's Response

Hello Amanda, Thank you for your review! We are so glad to hear you all enjoyed your stay! We appreciate your feedback about the deck area and it has been power washed. We do have outdoor spaces cleaned before arrival. However, spiders and their webs come back fairly fast in our beautiful redwood forest neighborhoods. We would love to host you all again!

We had a great stay for the long weekend, even in the rain! It rained basically the entire weekend but our group had a great time thanks to the large living room and kitchen area - still able to have a great time with board games, movies, etc. We loved the hot tub in the rain as well, there's a nice little waterfall that forms during the rain. The place was clean and well-equipped. The kitchen was amazing if you/your group is into cooking. Location was pretty decent, only a 5 minute drive to downtown. This place would be amazing during the summer months, it has a nice-looking pool and seating all around. The place was well-priced given the season. Would definitely book again. -via Airbnb

Leo’s Lodge is NOT a luxe retreat; it is a lodge with wear and tear. Don’t be fooled by the high ceilings. The place has no central A/C and several windows without screens or damaged screens. This means it becomes SWELTERING during the summer, but you can’t fully open the windows in the evenings without getting eaten alive by mosquitoes. This alone disqualifies anyone from calling the place “luxe," and it's an issue management should've addressed long ago. The master bedroom mattress is so soft that it severely sags and is unusable. When we opened the hot tub, it was full of of foam—an indication that the chemical balance is off, and that the the water is old or contaminated. We could not use during our stay. Overall, the place has more wear and tear than is evident from the photos. On the plus side, place was clean & great location. Management was responsive but seemed content to email rather than fix anything. I expect more from an Airbnb at this price point. Would not rent again.-via Airbnb

Manager's Response

We’re sorry you didn’t enjoy the home – it’s a favorite special place for many guests. We understand your first night started on the wrong foot, with the mattress in the master bedroom being too soft for you. Replacing the mattress was not an option as the McRoskey mattress in the master bedroom is meant to be soft. We made sure to visit the home to address your concerns in person, not just through messages or phone calls. We are very responsive to guest needs, and are available to stop by to assist or to send the right service person to help. We sent a handyman to check on the mattress, to make sure it was in good condition and the frame was not broken. We checked the frame and both sides of the mattress, and there was nothing wrong with the mattress to need repair or replacement. It was strange to hear from your group, saying the handyman says the mattress needed to be replaced when that wasn’t what was communicated. Your stay did occur during a heat wave, and it's not that common for temps to be quite so high! Temps in the forested neighborhood are typically 15 - 20 degrees cooler than areas in full sun, and the location near the coast and river means temperatures dip quite a bit at night. We're sorry the weather affected the home temps so much during your stay - fans are provided, and most homes in the area do not have air conditioning as the river and woods do a great job keeping homes cool. The hot tub was clean and freshly serviced before your stay, and we did remind you that if your group hadn’t fully rinsed off lotions, soaps, and detergents before getting in, that would cause foam to build up as these all react with the spa chemicals. We are sorry Michelle did not enjoy her stay fully, and spent more time working with us to check on the mattress than she would have preferred during her stay. We did our best to assist, but unfortunately she did not respond well to our communication or assistance, and we’re sorry she did not enjoy her stay as fully as we’d hope she would. We hope you have a great summer, and reach out with questions anytime if you choose to stay with us again.

Good overall. More attention should be made to ensure property is ready for next guest. There were 4 or 5 garbage bags left by the previous guest. The main stereo system was off line. Although they did try and assist us, we were not able to use the system at all. Given the additional amount paid for services, these things should not occur.-via Vrbo

Hello Sylvia, We were happy to assist you with the Sonos, and reached out to the homeowner for more help.

We really enjoyed meeting up with our friends for a birthday week. The house is a wonderful place to hang out with friends. It was a warm week (one day was 102!) so the lack of AC definitely was noticeable, but it cools off a lot in the evenings. There are a lot of stairs so if you have small or old dogs like mine, it’s not super optimal. The only negative of the week was that the kitchen wasn’t very clean, but that’s not the fault of the homeowner. We’d return to Leo’s Lodge!-via VRBO

a beautiful week at Leo’s Lodge

This was a beautiful stay. The location was perfectly private and the kitchen was amazing. If you plan on bringing dogs, I will say that the patio gets extremely hot in the sun so we had to make sure to keep our dogs away from it any time the sun was out and lay out towels. Also, maybe my family just likes scalding water in a hot tub, but we could never get the hot tub warm enough for us to want to spend time in it once the sun was down so we were a little bummed by that. Besides that, we spent a beautiful week at Leo’s Lodge and River Homes was very accommodating when it came to fixing the broken TV. The location just made the place feel so private, and you’ll see as you drive to the spot, that many of the homes in the area are dark and shady because of their position among the trees, but this home got the most perfect amount of sun from morning until around 4pm-via Airbnb

Hello Ava, We really enjoyed hosting you at Leo's Lodge! Thanks for being fantastic guests. Good tips for the pups - there are beautiful redwood trees, but still a lot of sunshine at the home.

Very updated home--sometimes a little too smart for our tech abilities but everything ran well and a great fit for our family of 8 (2 young children). Great separation of space and sound control and everyone loved the hot tub. On a lovely block and we enjoyed local walks, going down to the river and to the coast. A little low on towels so had to wash a lot and the kitchen needed more mixing bowls and a coffee grinder. Also had to buy paper towels as only one roll there. Everything very clean and comfortable. Beds quite soft but worked fine for us. Would definitely come back especially in the summer to enjoy the pool and outdoor areas.

10/10 would stay again.

The house is absolutely wonderful! It looks as if it just recently underwent significant renovation with all new appointments including Sonos Wi-Fi based speakers throughout the house. Kitchen was very well-stocked and the grill worked well. Very spacious with many bathrooms, charming fireplace and more than enough space for everyone. The hot tub was also very enjoyable. In the summer months, I imagine that at least in the morning when the sun is direct the pool would also be quite nice although this was closed when we were there. Gurnville is about a 30 minute walk or a short drive. The ocean is about half an hour. Overall the rental company is very responsive and it was very easy to negotiate getting in and out of the house. 4 stars for price transparency as final price varied substantially between websites with extra 300$ for cleaning added on by the company. Would be better to advertise final price throughout. Still would definitely return as it was a great value!

Leo's lodge was perfect! It was exactly as listed and accommodated our group of 7 with more than enough space. My husband appreciated the tech and being able to connect to the Sonos. While it was too cold to enjoy the pool, it was very inviting and we would love to rent this house again in the summer. The management company was also great and responded to emails and calls promptly. A tip: you may want to rent a car. We didn't have one and found out that uber is not readily available in Guerneville. Luckily we got a few local numbers for taxis to get us to Santa Rosa. All in all, we had an amazing trip and look forward to visiting again soon.

First impressions mean a lot these days and when you travel a lot, its easy to be guarded. This quick getaway exceeded our expectations in every way. We'd visited Guerneville a few times before and really like the small town charm. Sometimes though you have to manage your lodging expectations in a small town, where "rustic charm" can easily outweigh the amenities... but not the case at Leo's Lodge! We drove up from San Francisco for a quick getaway with a family friend and the kids, 13 and 8. When we drove up to the lodge at dusk, we were ecstatic about the modern feel of the house in the deep wood setting. We'd seen pictures, but even those could not have prepared us for the magic of this property. My instant reaction was “Jackpot!” My wife had done most of the planning and coordination so I didn't know what to expect. My second thought was “who can we bring with us next time”.The kids peeled off to figure out which room(s) they would sleep in and we started exploring the space. It was pretty magical with the outside string lights on, the multi-level patio/pool/hot tub was an instant draw. I had to finish carrying all the stuff in myself while the kids went digging for their bathing suits.We walked into town several times for groceries and exploring and stopped at the playground at the end of the street to play. The supermarket had a lot of the items we'd hoped and the artisanal Ice Cream Shop in the Bank building was a quick hit. (I need to remember to get a pie from there next time).Dinners and meals at home were nice and social. We found everything we needed to prepare meals, spent an abundance of time soaking in the hot tub, and even made time for a game of Clue that was sitting out as an invitation.The beds were comfy, the showers big and the sunlight comes early through the trees on the small deck outside the master bedroom. Perfect for lazy mornings. Since we were only there for a few days, we didn't make it to swim in the Russian river or to Healdsburg or Sonoma for sightseeing like we'd planned, but it ended-up being the wonderfully pleasant and much-needed break that we'd been hoping for.Our kids kept asking: "Why can't we live here??" We'll be back, with friends.Manager Response:Thank you for the glowing review! We really appreciate that you were the first guests at the house and had a fantastic time! The feedback is fabulous and we can't wait to have you again - with friends!~ Megan
