Description

Camp Ciyole is full of thoughtful details and eccentric accents! “Campers” at Camp Ciyole experience the traditional amenities of the Russian River – a home tucked into a redwood forest, 5-minute walk to the river, and seasonal boats – plus the benefits of a seasoned vacation rental – a private hot tub, in-room TVs, lovingly updated kitchen, bathrooms, and interiors, and a ground-level game room. Ciyole (pronounced “kee-o-lay”) means “shady place” in the language of the Southern Pomo Tribe (the first inhabitants of the area), but the yard is bathed in sunlight as the day progresses!

Upstairs, you’ll enjoy 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, mostly open kitchen, dining, and living areas which open to an inviting back deck. Individual TVs in the bedrooms and roomy bathrooms – one off the hallway and one in the master suite – make for relaxed sleeping and bathing arrangements. Follow the interior stairs to the laundry room and separate game room with pool table, darts, and endlessly entertaining signs and ephemera – quirky and vintage touches. And outside you’ll delight in the fully fenced backyard with hot tub and seating areas. Can you find the “historical fairy cottage” in one of the hollow stumps? If you do, peek in the windows, but don’t go in!

This beautiful home situated in the heart of a redwood forest is a perfect family getaway. Guerneville is stunningly beautiful and the house was full of fun family activities and thoughtful touches. We especially loved the coloring table and wall of drawings from others that have stayed before us. This house is also reasonable driving distance to so many adventures - hiking in redwood forests, Napa Valley, San Francisco… My family was incredibly happy with our stay and would love to come back!!-This review was written under prior management of the house, but it’s still true.

We had a wonderful stay here! It ended up raining the whole time we were there and this was a wonderful space to relax with plenty of room to stretch our legs. The listing is beautiful with a well-stocked kitchen so we enjoyed many warm cups of tea. In sunny weather, we expect it would have only been better with many great hikes nearby.--This review was written under prior management of the house, but it’s still true.

best stocked kitchen

The house was exactly as advertised. We loved the little surprises around the house: a fun art station that my kids loved, information about our surroundings, and their whole "Camp Ciyole" theme. The house was comfortable for our group (4 adults and 2 kids). I also need to point out that this was by far the best-stocked kitchen of any rental we have ever stayed at. Thanks for that! We visited in December, and it rained most of the time we were there so we didn't explore the neighborhood much - or walk into town - or float down the river - but based on the location I imagine that all of those activities would've been great in the summer!--This review was written under prior management of the house, but it’s still true.

We had a great stay! The house has three spacious bedrooms (the main bedroom has its own private bathroom), and was overall very comfortable. The kitchen had all of the basics for cooking, and the back patio/yard and hot tub were great! It was fall when we stayed so we didn't do any river activities, but the garage was stocked with river toys and supplies. The neighborhood was also quiet and really nice for morning walks. --This review was written under prior management of the house, but it’s still true.
