Description

Named for the breathtaking old growth redwood trees circling the property, Fairy Circle Cottage is situated on a hillside above downtown Guerneville. This quiet, yet conveniently located two level cottage offers rich knotty pine interior, a gas fireplace and a sunny patio. Upstairs the main bedroom has a Queen bed, a skylight with redwood views, and glass French doors leading to the back patio. Beyond the redwoods is a fenced-in back patio and deck with outdoor dining, a gas grill and a new 6 person spa.

The bonus room (with an exterior entrance only) is located on the lower level and features Mexican tile floors, a twin trundle bed, a freestanding gas fireplace and a full bathroom with a claw foot bathtub. Fairy Circle Cottage is walking distance to downtown Guerneville and the Russian River. It is a short drive to many Russian River Valley wineries and the Sonoma Coast (Jenner and Bodega Bay).

This such a beautiful, charming cottage that’s nestled (literally) within redwood trees. Our experience here was such a special belated birthday present that my husband gave to me.

We’ve rented from AirBnB before, but I have never stayed in a place that had literally every detail and accommodation accounted for. Everything from the plush pillows and billowing comforters to the condiments (including olives and Clausen pickles!) in the fridge. I was even blown away by the heavily-weighted cutlery, and the fact that the water temperature was set *just right* that one didn’t scald their hands while doing dishes.

We were fortunate to stay in January, so we took advantage of the seasonal deal (stay 2 nights and get the 3rd night for free). There was one day that it rained, and the minute the rain started my husband and I jumped in the hot tub and felt the rain fall on our faces while still cozy in that glorious warm water. And the fact that this place is dog friendly just added 5 more stars to our experience!

Another perk to this cottage is that it is walking distance to town. There are many lovely restaurants and coffee houses to try.

This is a magical, comfortable, cozy, relaxing, most charming cabin that we highly recommend. We will most definitely come back again. I miss that fireplace, and so do my dogs....lol. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!!

Rent from this company! They are professional, fast, and this particular unit is fabulous. Great affordable space near town. Walking distance. Wonderful back yard and neighbors. Weird art!!! But joyfully very Russian River. They undersell the separate fabulous in law unit downstairs. It’s a perfect place for a family upstairs or 2 couples and a great adorable new suite downstairs for someone who wanted a little more quiet! They hosted us after our awful previous rental (Cherie Sexton) canceled on us less then 2 hrs before. She was non-verbal in communicating with us, and all of my friends were flying in or driving from afar to celebrate my low key bachelorette! This company solidified the rental, provided all the info promptly. We can’t thank them enough.

This is an amazing place to stay. My dog and I were very comfortable and it is a few minutes walk to town. The kitchen had a lot more than I was expecting (I didn’t need to pack as much as I did). The outside deck is much more impressive in real life. The pictures don’t do it justice. It was great to soak in the hot tub after working out in the morning. A friend joined me for part of my week long stay here and he used the downstairs room and liked it a lot. He said that the bed had a pull out bed and that the lower mattress was more comfortable. I wish I lived here all the time. This place brought me a lot of peaceful moments this week. Thanks for renting it out!

Excellent experience overall. Cottage is cozy with a western theme. Perfect for a couple or +1; the second bedroom is downstairs (separate entrance) with its own bathroom including a gorgeous, deep clawfoot tub. A second couple can sleep on the pull-out couch, but it would honestly be a bit cramped. Easy walk to town, kind, quiet neighbors, spotless hot tub and impressive Redwood grove. New appliances and kitchen was well stocked.

We are so glad you enjoyed the house! It's a great spot under amazing redwoods!

Fantastic!! Awesome!! Perfect!!! ...and that's just putting it mildly! Location is perfect, walking distance to Guerneville. Cottage was perfect....clean, all the comforts of home and then some, we spent 4 days there and loved every minute of it! Appreciated how everything was labeled, made it super easy to figure things out. The outdoor space is gorgeous and the hot tub was a welcome addition and much needed after canoeing down the Russian River (check out Burke's Canoe Rentals). Dealing with Russian River Vacation Homes was hassle free and super easy; love the guest portal! Will keep the Fairy Circle Cottage on my Top 10 list and hope to come back again.

I was impressed from the beginning with the responsive and friendly booking service. The cottage was even better in person than it appeared in the picturesa cute, homey place with all the amenities you could want, plus a lot of charming personal touches. It's just steps from downtown, but we spent a lot of time just relaxing at the cottage because we were so comfortable there. We would definitely stay there again.

"Peaceful Charm"

4 of 5

Tucked away on a quiet hill in a hidden neighborhood, just a short walk from the downtown Guerneville restaurants and shops, the Fairy Circle Cottage was perfect for our Thanksgiving getaway. A perfect distance from Armstrong Woods State Park, the majestic redwoods surrounding the cottage (and the deck's hottub) made this place magical and welcoming. Great backyard for our dog to roam safely, a well-stocked kitchen--everything we needed to cook, super clean and great attention to details. The living room fireplace was great-and the furniture was extremely comfortable. We'll stay here again because of the quiet, comfort and beauty. The neighbors were warm and welcoming, wonderful restaurants within walking distance-including a cool coffee shop. This place is designed for naps, resting, reading, sipping wine, relaxing in the hot tub, romantic conversations and clearing your head. Working with Russian River Vacation Homes is SO easy and uncomplicated-they make renting a vacation home so effortless-I would not use another company in Sonoma! We rent at least twice per year with them-and, have come to expect that their properties are at the highest standard.

"Loved Fairy Circle Cottage"

5 of 5

Over the past many years I've been to Guerneville many, many times but it had been 12 or so years since I've been there so wanted to stay a week. Russian River Realty could not have been a better partner with us to find a fantastic rental. I told them our needs, which included traveling with three small dogs, and simply could not have been happier with the choice of Fairy Circle Cottage. It could not have been more perfect for us. Better, I LOVE the Guerneville cemetery and it was in walking distance as was all of 'downtown.' The cabin itself was very well appointed and had some great features such as when in the hot tub looking up and seeing the redwoods that grow right around the cottage, the deck, in fact, is built around them. Loved the high speed internet as well as the cable - prefect selection of channels including HBO. The kitchen was very easy to use and well appointed. It will be a few years until we are back to Guerneville but definitely would love to stay at this cottage again.

Manager Response:

Thank you!
We so appreciate you sharing a review with future guests and onlookers! Fairy Circle Cottage is a delightful cabin and so close to everything "downtown" as you said! We're very excited to share that new floors are in progress right now!!! I can't wait to see the results.

"Great Location but Cottage Needs New Floor Covering and Bonus Ro"

3 of 5

My wife and I wanted to be in a Forest among beautiful trees and the Russian River area is gorgeous and filled that desire perfectly! The majestic Redwood trees are beautiful and awe inspiring! Armstrong Woods State Natural Preserve which is a very short drive from the cottage is a must see! Pay the entry fee and drive all the way to the end to Bullfrog Pond Campground for the full experience.We were very disappointed with 'Emergency' contact service when our entry code didn't work. It took over half hour in the dark and a bit of an attitude from the guy on the phone to get a code that worked. The last thing I expected from an 'Emergency' phone number was a voicemail...and then a long wait. To be fair, all other service from Kayte at the office was polite, friendly and terrific.Our favorite part of the Fairy Circle Cottage was the outdoor spa at the base of the trees. Looking up through the trees while relaxing in the warm bubbling water and staring up at the stars was fabulous! A+++! But, the underside of the spa cover had mold on it and smelled a bit of mold (that may be unavoidable due to the hot water combined with the cold outside temperatures, I don't know).The cottage itself was acceptable but in our opinion it has issues that would keep us from coming back. First and foremost, it needs new floor covering! The floor covering is pretty badly stained in numerous spots/areas. I'm not sure what the floor covering is called but it reminded me somewhat of the underside mesh of a carpet. It looks and feels kind of like someone put a carpet in upside down!The dcor of the main part of the cottage does not have a 'cottage' feel at all in our opinion. Also, the artwork in the downstairs Bonus Room is not for kids! The prints of a bra and a jock strap on one wall and the poster of Chicago (the musical) complete with blood splatters and a garter belt and stocking clad model are 'R' rated at best.We wouldn't stay at Fairy Circle Cottage again.

"Cute house!"

4 of 5

We enjoyed the stay at the house, but comparatively, was a bit pricey for just a weekend. The house was nicely stocked, the yard was cute and I loved that we could bring our dogs, they had a ball exploring the hillside (so did our son). Slight concern for small dogs, as there are lots of escape holes around the yard that should be secured better. The brickwork in the yard could be dangerous as it drops off next to the house, kind of unsafe with my 3-year-old and my leg in a cast, but everything was fine. Otherwise the home is comfortable, hot tub was good (what I'm told since I couldn't enjoy it with a cast), kitchen was well stocked and the location is nice. (The bathroom could use a shelf to put toiletries on, next to the sink.) We'd use your rental company again! Thanks!

Enjoyed this very private cabin for the weekend. Very quiet house on a very quiet street. Cabin is cozy (small) but perfect size for the two of us. Cabin was very clean and well stocked. Only minutes away from the center of town, it was perfect for being in the heart of the River area. We will stay there again.

"More suitable for 4 people; small but close to town"

3 of 5

I was the unlucky one of our group that got the couch. Not comfortable. It's a very cute place with a great patio and a nice hot tub. Lots of steep outdoor steps, so not aDa friendly. The bedroom with the twin beds is not connected--it's underneath, but it's not a place that small children could sleep. Only complaint re cleanliness--the spider webs--they were everywhere. They have the most amazing trees on the property. Although I thought the price was high--we were there on a holiday weekend. The master bedroom is very nice. It would be a perfect place for a couple with a couple of teenagers.

Manager Response:

Hello!

Thank you for reviewing Fairy Circle Cottage! And thank you for letting us know about the pull out sofa - you are the first to comment on the comfiness, so we'll let the owner know!

And we try to describe the house as best as possible on our website, but you are correct - the 2nd sleeping space is a lower unit with a full bathroom but it can only be accessed from an exterior door. We try to find out as much as possible about the groups coming to stay at the house so we can help them pick the best house for their group.

Were there spider webs in the house? Or were they outside? They certainly shouldn't have been inside! But outside it's hard to keep them back *all* the time. Under the redwood trees we just have more spiders and webs than other places... If it makes you feel better - most of them are harmless garden spiders that dine primarily on mosquitoes and other flying bugs.

Well, I hope we see you again!

"Wish We Could Have Stayed Longer"

Great property. Nothing like having a redwood to look up to while lolling in the hot tub. We used the whole house which was perfect for us and our adult daughter and partner since we all were able to have some privacy with the two apartments. The rooms were homey and had character. Our only problem was a glichy gas stove that turned on at crazy times but the management sent someone up quickly to deal with it. Good location to do winery tours from.

"Great place for couples"

4 of 5

We loved our stay at Russian River. Fairy Circle Cottage is also a great house, but not for a family with young children. It's listed as one bedroom on the main floor with a separately accessed "bonus" room which is essentially a studio and the only access to this room is from the street. Because of this, we didn't use the room at all. The deck is awesome -- it's actually built around massive redwood trees. There's an 8 person hot tub that was also great. It was our fault for not reading the fine print, but knowing we had a young child, it would have been nice if the management company pointed out that the second room wouldn't be usable for us. Our son had to sleep on the pull-out couch which was a pain to deal with every day and not very comfortable. The house overall is comfortable, and very close to the river and beach. We ended up having a nice time.

"A Lovely week in the Redwoods"

4 of 5

We had a great time. The house was clean and all of the ammenities were there. We decided not to use the hot tub once we realized that we were in the middle of a neighborhood and our neighbors could watch us. The bathroom was quite small, but the rest of the house was very comfortable.
