Description

The Enchanted Forest property features two 4 bedroom, 4 bath homes situated on three acres of riverfront property. The two spacious homes, Contente and Culture Blend, offer sleeping accommodations for 28 people. Each home features a 3 bedroom main house, a separate 1 bedroom suite, 2 kitchens, a recreation room and a spa. The main living spaces offer high ceilings, hardwood floors and a large open living/dining room. The fully equipped kitchens come complete with new appliances and breakfast areas. Many of the rooms, including both living rooms and 6 of the 8 bedrooms, feature glass doors leading out to large decks facing the river with outdoor dining and gas grills.

Both homes offer large garages with recreation rooms. Culture Blend has a pool table, ping pong, foosball, air hockey and video games. Off the patio is a spa with a gazebo. Contente has a pool table, ping pong table and a spa on the patio above the yard.

Enjoy excellent access to the Russian River from this riverfront property. Fishing, swimming and boating opportunities await just a short walk away. To access, walk down the custom rock stairway and across the tree-filled lawn to the short path leading to a large river beach. During the summer months, 2 boats are included (1 canoe and 1 kayak).

Heat Source: Both homes have central gas heat.

Rec/Game Rooms: The game rooms are uninsulated spaces without central heating. There is a portable electric heater in the game rooms.

A/C: The houses do 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.

Location: The Enchanted Forest Estate is located approximately 1.5 miles east of downtown Guerneville on River Road, a busy two-lane road that connects Guerneville to Highway 101. Due to double wall construction, there is very little road noise inside the home, as well as on the back deck and lower lawn area.The driveway and front staircase face the road. All outdoor living areas are shielded from the road by the home, natural surroundings and a 10-foot high privacy fence (at the front of the property only). The neighborhood is a mix of residential and commercial. Neighbors include full-time residents, a local pub, a deli, a self-serve carwash and a gas station/mini mart. Be aware that though there is a visual privacy, the carwash can be heard when in use and noise from the pub may be heard. We have had very few mentions from guests about either of these establishements. Please contact our office if you have any questions about the proximity of the road or any other questions about the property. Members of our staff have stayed at this property and loved it!

Additional Amenities: Both homes provide televisions in the bedrooms and living rooms. Recreation room items: foosball, pool table, air hockey, ping pong, arcade basketball, karaoke and video games.

It will be loud on the Friday and Saturday of the event. The exact dates of the event will be listed on the Stumptown Brewery's website.

This property offered enough space for 24 of us to gather for a great meal in a comforably large room. It also had enough space for each of us to find a quiet room to escape from the crowd. The Massive game rooms were great for kids of all ages, the hot tubs a comfort after the competition! There were enough tv's, stereos, dishes and games. Winter offerings of hiking, beach combing, wine tasting, shopping and beer pong were all within a short drive. The location on the river is great, we'll be back for summer.-via Vrbo

Hello Jan, Thank you for the lovely review! We're so glad the house had everything you needed for a fun and relaxing stay. Can’t wait to welcome you back this summer!

Our stay at was wonderful! The property was spotless, beautifully furnished, and fully equipped with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, plenty of furniture, kitchen had all the utensils and pans, bathrooms are great with enough towels, soap and shampoo. We didn't like the some of the sofa and chairs as the cushions were nearly gone and it felt like sitting on a rock. The suite bedroom in each of these 2 properties are actually separate like in law unit and not part of the main house which was something we didn't anticipate. Backyard was good running down to Russian river but with the off-season we didn't use it that much. Both the houses had lot of games, pool tables, table tennis as shown in the pictures. TV's were LED's and not the older Tube TVs which is what is shown in the pictures. The host was attentive and responsive, keys and other information was very well laid out and provided. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely stay here again! -via Vrbo

Hello Senthil, We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Outdoor cushions are usually put away in the off-season and when it is wet outside. Thank you for your review and for being such fantastic guests :)

Lots of Toys for Families

Reviewed on 2023-09-15 by Scott

The property was well equipped with plenty of "toys" (pool table, kayaks, ping-pong, hot tubs) for large family groups. Unfortunately, it was not well maintained. The several of the inner tubes had holes which weren't discovered until inflated. A pump for all the inflatables would also be helpful. The TV in the main Culture Blend room did not permit logging in to our personal Netflix or Hulu account NOR could you mirror a device through AirPlay (standard now in most VRBOs). The TV in the Calente basement did work OK for streaming. Also, the car wash next door was pretty noisy.-via Vrbo

Manager's Response

Hi Scott, We're sorry to learn that you were disappointed with the innertubes on-site. Please note that we don't supply any floats or innertubes ourselves, and any that you find on-site are left behind by previous guests. As such, we don't keep an inventory of these items.
However, we do provide information about road noise and carwash facilities in our listing description, so that guests can make informed decisions before booking. Additionally, we also offer details about the TVs onsite, including which ones support casting and logins for popular streaming services like Netflix, as well as the option to log in to your own account. We're sorry we did not hear from you to assist you during your stay. Thank you for your review!

There were plenty of things for everybody to do, the pool tables, ping-pong, air hockey, hot tubs, large dining table, .

There was ample space for everyone to gather, eat, and play in the main rooms, plenty of bedrooms for quiet time when needed, and perfectly situated on the river for our polar plunge. Even though it was pouring rain throughout our stay, we had a fabulous time. Hosts were responsive via messaging, and we didn't need much help given instructions were simple and clear.

Had a fantastic time at both Culture and Contente homes. Super convenient to have kayaks and other River floaties available right on the property. Game room was well utilized- great to have billiard tables and air hockey too. Car wash next door to Culture was a bit loud when dining outside, u just feel like there is a waterfall nearby. If you have the windows open at night then you will hear the road traffic. Outstanding customer response team and super helpful staff. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!!-via Airbnb

Staying at the Enchanted Forest was lots of terrific! ... with a few unavoidable downsides. The downside mentioned in the property descriptions are the road and carwash noise and we didn't understand in advance the fact that all the living space is on the second floor. Everything has to be carried up. You have to go down one staircase, then up another to see someone in the other house. Four flights for a round trip. That said, the houses are wonderful! Fully equipped kitchens, spacious back deck where 20 of us ate our meals together, large dining room tables for buffets. The game rooms were well used by us for ping pong tournaments and air hockey. The hot tubs are great. The Culture Blend house had 4 little kayaks that were fun to paddle (with accessories.) The Contente house had canoes but they were too heavy for us to move down the riverbank stairs to get them to the water and back up. The yards are shaded and spacious. We brought croquet to play there. The river access is shallow but lovely. We saw ducks, ospreys, herons, and hawks. I'll also mention that we did a lot of nice walking from the house via the Old River Road and the El Nido road. Pretty and quiet once you cross the main road. You can walk to town or, for the hardy, even Armstrong Woods. The Safeway in town is a big, well-stocked store. We took a couple day trips to the coast. The wildlife at the mouth of the Russian River at Jenner is spectacular. I was impressed that the River Homes folks were very responsive to our requests, whether the office was open or closed. One oven wasn't working and they had an appliance repair person there the same day to fix it. Nice people.-via Airbnb

Manager's Response

Hello Janet, We are so glad you got to view the property before your stay so you could get a general idea of what to expect, however the noise from the car wash varies! We are happy you and your family were able to have a great time at both homes and you all were a delight to host. Come and see us again anytime!

The Enchanted Forest vacation rental is fantastic! I hesitate to post a review only because it feels like such a hidden gem and I don't want any more competition for future rental opportunities! The homes are both so spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean. With the large backyard, it feels like the home backs up to a small natural preserve and the river access is gorgeous. We stayed in February so the river was quite full and the weather was warm enough for several of us to take the kayaks out. We wine tasted at Equality Vines in downtown Guerneville which I'd also highly recommend! We absolutely look forward to staying again.

It's close to so many beautiful places.

Awesome house on Russian River for reunion

Reviewed on 2018-12-21 by Liyun L.

We rented the two houses for a reunion weekend of 6 families (12 adults and 11 kids between the ages of 1 and 10). We all had a blast. There were plenty of space for all of us to sleep with multiple en-suite bathrooms that are convenient and provided privacy. We utilized the kitchen for both houses to cook our meals, as well as both grills on the deck, and ate in either dining rooms or on the deck. One day we did an oyster run to Hog Island and brought back oysters to eat raw and grill, YUM! It's only about a 40 min drive away. Some adults also went out wine tasting near by. The TV and sitting areas are nice with big sofas for the kids. The game rooms in the garage are great for slightly older kids and adults. There are plenty of outdoor space including the deck and back yard leading to the river. The appliances are clean, updated, and functional. The location is super convenient if you are driving up from San Francisco. Russian River is a beautiful and playing on the bank of the river was fun for the kids. I would highly recommend this place if you have a large gathering of families.Source: VRBOManager Response: We are so happy to hear that the Enchanted Forest was the right choice for such a special gathering. It sounds like you all had a wonderful time. Hog Island is a personal favorite of mine! Just reading about the BBQ oysters is making me hungry (admittedly, that's not difficult to do). We hope to have you back for a future stay. Ellen ~ Russian River Vacation Homes

Our son got married on May 20th @ the Rio Roadhouse which is a few min. from the Enchanted Forest Estate. We had 24 people stay and it was perfect for a large group!!! Plenty of private rooms, yet large table to enjoy meals together. The game rooms were extra fun. Very clean, modern, with all the amenity. Everyone enjoyed them self so much, that we are thinking of coming back next year for their 1st Annv.
