- "Great spot for a relaxing weekend with family. The house is delightful, the views amazing and the proximity to the river/beach a great plus! The house was well stocked with all basics / cooking appliances / gadgets. There are also lots of board games and between the beach, nature walks, cooking and games, we never turned the TV on. Even the teenagers left their phones to the side. Highly recommended!" - "Everything was great." - "This place was tranquil, inviting, easy to figure out. The bed I stayed in was firm and comfortable. Flannel sheets were a nice touch! It’s a lovely cabin, but honestly the deck out back where you sit and just “be” with the trees was exactly what my heart & soul needed. River is very close - so pretty! I think I should have known from the photos that it was all upstairs, as in there is no ground floor entry, everything has to be schlepped upstairs. Somehow I didn’t realize that though and I’m pointing it out because I don’t see in the listing where it says it either, though again, pictures of the front kinda show it, and people who have mobility impairment - this might not be the best choice of properties. Stairs were open slots and my dog was terrified of them - so she got to learn something new haha! (That doesn’t reflect on property of course, my dog is just a weirdo). The back area down to the river is not really secure. My 56 lb shepherd mix fit through the slats (one was broken off) fortunately she was going in from the river side, not trying to escape. The back fence is deck rail height and a bigger dog or determined escape artist could get out, so don’t leave your pooches unsupervised back there. As I said, my dog is a weirdo & never wants to leave me. It was wonderful to be able to bring my dog, though, & I always feel owners are responsible for their canine friends - just a warning is all. I highly recommend this property to the right party!"

- "One of my favorites properties I’ve stayed ever in the Russian river area. Living in San Francisco we make it up to guerneville pretty often. This place is convenient and clean and comfortable. The attention to detail is beyond. Can’t wait to go back!" - "We had a great time in this lovely house located right next to the redwood trees. It has a great overlook on the creek from both bedrooms and the sound of its current was pretty pleasant. One can find everything they need in the house and of course, the location could not be better - so close to downtown and all places. The place was very clean and cozy, very relaxing and accommodating. Communication with the owners could not be more efficient and easier. Highly recommended!"

Year Round Fun! This is an amazing family cabin tucked in among the redwoods. The location is ideal. Literally just steps away from the Russian River with a private dock, you can't get much closer to the river without falling in.

The house itself is a gem. Having been redone multiple times, it is a beautiful blend of classic traditional with the right amount of new touches. Stunning redwood batten board throughout the house sets the perfect backdrop for the house.

The house has been raised off the street and has a great deck off the front which is perfect for summertime barbeques and enough room to accommodate teak cocktail chairs with a modular square cocktail table, a round picnic table with chairs and piazza lights. Perfect for winding down in the evenings following a great day on the river.

As you enter the house, there is a great room with a phenomenal fireplace. The nearly 20-foot ceilings scream for you to sit by the fire and enjoy a glass (bottle?) of your favorite found chardonnay or pinot.

And, the back enclosed porch is a wonderful gathering place for dining and lounging with views of the surrounding vistas.

The house really is a great place to getaway to. The access to the river is amazing. The dock is a great way to enjoy the water. Whether you want to rent paddle boats or canoes from Johnson's Beach or just lounge on an inner-tube or raft, there is something special about just going for a swim in the river.

For the beach-goers, Johnson's beach is less than a mile and is a great walk.

For the SPORTSMAN, the fishing is great. Do that from the dock, wade upstream and use the adjacent beach, or take a short drive out to Jenner or Bodega to charter a trip. Some friends of ours often plan abalone dives and use the river as a homebase.

If you are into GOLF, the Northwoods golf course is only 3.8 miles from the house. Designed by Dr. Alister MacKenzie in 1928, the course is a classic MacKenzie design with 9 holes winding through giant redwood trees. (This is the same architect who designed Cypress Point, Augusta National, Meadow Club, Pasatiempo and many other great courses).

For the WINE lover, the list of amazing Russian River wineries is tremendous. Korbel does a terriffic tour and has a really great deli and picnic area. Gary Farrell is one of the most well respected wine makers around, producing some super premium wines. Porter Creek is a little more laid back ... and a lot of fun.

For the FOODIES, there is a wide variety. Everything from tasty comfort food and special breakfast places (See: The River Inn, Piknik Town Market) to pizza to brewery / pub food (Stumptown Brewery) to high end / romantic / special dinners at Applewoods and Boon. And, delicious eats and mezcal at El Barrio.

For the KIDS, there are a ton of possible adventures. One of our favorites continues to be Pee Wee Golf & Arcade which is just across the river from town (about a mile from the house) and Rio Nido Pee Wee Golf. Armstrong Woods is very nearby and a great spot to stand among giant redwood trees. There are hiking trails here but also a flat walkable area.

- "Wonderful property with a very communicative host. The dock and river access made for an exceptional trip!" - "Erin’s place made for an incredible weekend with family.

The classic kitchen table seats four and can play host to delicious dinners, board game night, and whatever else you have

Bedrooms & Baths:

With its coastal decor and calming feel, the bright and airy bedroom ensures you sweet dreams among the redwoods. This space has a comfortable queen-size bed and lots of light. Two more guests can sleep on the futons in the living room. The full bath on this property enjoys lots of light, as well, thanks to its skylight right above the tub/shower. Find an additional half bath just off the living room.

Outdoor Amenities:

Outdoor living among redwoods! The outdoor spaces on this property offer so many possibilities for relaxation. Hang up the hammock and take a siesta on the new redwood deck with superb views of the trees. The classic Adirondack chairs here are a wonderful spot for bird watching, wine or coffee-sipping, or just whiling the day away.

In back of the cabin you’ll find the private enclosed patio. Prepare a meal on the propane grill and dine al fresco at the shaded patio set. Rest easy in the reclining sun loungers. Or sit out under the stars and soak in the Sundance hot tub after a day spent hiking, wine tasting, and enjoying everything the Russian River area has to offer. We’ve even provided two spa-quality cotton robes for you to wrap up in afterwards!

- "This place did not disappoint! Truly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely return. The property management firm was very kind and attentive " - "We loved this place. The property was very cute and comfortable and in such a beautiful place. The internet went out the second day we were there so we were unsure on trash procedures as we couldn’t read our email. The out door fire pit was nice for relaxation and roasting marshmallows. The kitchen had almost everything we needed and the outdoor grill was great. I made two tri-tips and they came out perfectly."

Willowhaven is a beautifully crafted redwood home on a generous lot dotted with fruit trees. An expansive wraparound deck encapsulates seven glorious redwood trees and bends around even more. With a mixture of shade and bright light, it’s the perfect setting for a romantic getaway or to simply recharge your batteries. In fair weather, BBQ, dine outside, slumber in the hammock, or stargaze. When it rains, luxuriate in the hot tub or listen to the storm from the cozy interior. High ceilings and abundant windows make all type of weather lovely at Willowhaven. A redwood “cathedral” surrounds the hot tub and up-lights show off the beauty of our trees.

Inside, the master bedroom features a King-size bed with adjusting frame. Lift or lower the back or foot sections of the bed separately and settle in to watch TV or snuggle while the wood burning stove warms the room. Both full bathrooms are substantial – making this a great home to visit as a couple, with friends, or a small family. The fully stocked kitchen and many places to dine, inside and out, ensure you have room to prepare gourmet meals with local produce and wines.

- "This house was perfect for my son and me. The location was perfect in almost every way- walking distance to a nice beach on the river and walking distance (for us) to everything else in Monte Rio. I walked our dog several miles everyday through the neighborhood and out along the river and Dutch creek. This is a great house if you are traveling with a dog. The fenced yard is huge. The deck is not gated, but our dog is not a wanderer so that wasn’t an issue for us. The only drawbacks were looking out at the neighboring houses which are in need of some TLC and the neighbors across the street who had ongoing arguments. But the beautiful redwoods and house more than made up for those annoyances. We would definitely stay here again."

Bonne Chère is, as its name suggests, the ideal spot to kick back, relax and enjoy the good cheer and splendid food and wine that Sonoma County is known for. After a day of trolling for tasty finds (perhaps a new favorite bottle from a family-owned winery or a creamy goat cheese made near the Sonoma Coast or the freshest picks from one of the various farmer's markets), imagine relaxing with a good book and a glass of wine in Bonne Chère's comfortable living room, cooking a feast in the gourmet kitchen, lounging on the spacious deck or taking a soak in the private hot tub.

From a recent guest, "This is the cleanest and most cozy rental we have ever stayed in! We are having the best time and I wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful space. It is absolutely lovely."

Inside Bonne Chère, guests will find the home both delightful and modern. The kitchen is stocked for even the pickiest cook, and includes stainless steel appliances, gas stove, dishwasher, beautiful wood cabinets and tile, and a wine fridge. The living room has a large television, stereo (there is a CD collection available for guests), gas fireplace and ample seating. In both bedrooms, the beds are exceedingly comfortable and made with high-quality linens. The bathroom has modern tile work and a walk-in shower with a window so guests can admire the redwoods and lush hillside while showering (a window curtain can be closed if desired).

Outside Bonne Chère is an extension of the living space. There is outdoor dining, outdoor seating, a gas grill and a private hot tub area. The property continues to wrap around the house to a 'secret' sitting spot, perfect for enjoying a locally roasted cup of Joe or stargazing with a glass of wine. Tucked against a hillside in a Guerneville neighborhood, Bonne Chère feels like its own little private world. Although there are neighbors to both the left and the right, the landscaping around the house and the hillside behind the home provides redwood views and privacy. The upper yard is mostly fenced, but not dog-proof!

- "We had such a wonderful stay at Bonne Chere! The house is so comfortable, you immediately feel right at home. The outside is as enjoyable as the inside. It is beautifully landscaped, and the hot tub was a god send after a tough hike at Amstrong Woods State Park. We would love to come back and enjoy another stay sometime." - "Property was beautiful. We totally enjoyed our stay. We actually extended it a night because we were so pleased with the place. The only down side is the one bathroom with access only thru the master suite (which wasn't and issue for us but would be if there were 2 adult couples)."

" - "Relaxing stay and comfortable quarts with a great location." - "This cabin is tucked into a great, quiet neighborhood with two walkable river accesses. We loved the backyard and the fact that the back doors open to fresh air the whole time. We also loved the historical charm of this cabin.

- "Location was great, and we loves having the kayaks and canoes. House had everything we needed. Would definitely stay there again!" - "The perfect get-away spot right on the river. very private and roomy. great yard for the dog to roam around too." - "We had a simply wonderful vacation at Eric's Landing. The house was well equipped and comfortable. We initially had concerns about the size of the house since we had friends staying with us, but it proved to be big enough for all of us, including our dogs who were very safe in the fenced yard. We especially liked the location. While it is advertised as close to beaches, don't let possible noise be a concern. It was quiet and really wonderful. My only concern about the place was that, when we arrived, the canoe and kayaks were all in the garage. The slope to the river was steep with a significant turn thrown in. I would have been happier not to have to get the canoe, especially, down the slope."

Welcome to Old Caz Cabin! Our cozy, rustic cabin is nestled in the heart of Guerneville amongst redwoods and is a 15-min. walk to the Russian River, where you can swim, float, and boat to your hearts content. In the winter, cozy up to the wood burning stove (the main heat source), take a long walk in the neighborhood or drive 5-min. to downtown Guerneville, which has a number of shops, restaurants and bars. Our cabin is also centrally located to breathtaking hiking trails.

Slow down with us!

The space
The "Old Caz Cabin" was built in 1923 and purchased in the late 70’s by a woman named Dixie, who bought it for $18,000 in a handshake agreement. Any resident of the Bay Area can appreciate this. It’s an old house and with that comes old house idiosyncrasies. It's a mix of old and new with original Douglas fir walls and flooring paired with a newly renovated kitchen and bathroom.

The main heat source is a wood burning stove with a supplemental space heater.

Please be patient and kind to it, and it will do the same in return.

Guest access
Guests will have access to the entire house.

Other things to note
The house can get very cold in the winter, and the main heat source is a wood burning stove and a couple space heaters. Please bring your own wood and kindling, but avoid Duraflame or any paper-wrapped logs as they clog our fireplace with chemicals. We will charge an additional $200 cleaning fee if used.

How to Start a Fire at the Old Caz Cabin

-Make sure the fireplace is clean, carefully clearing out remaining soot or ash
-Open the flue by pulling the rod beneath the door until it stops. -This will increase the amount of oxygen to the fire (closing the flue will cool the fire)
-Begin building the fire by a firestarter log or kindling into the fireplace
-Add logs on top of the firestarter log or kindling, taking care not to smother
-Ignite kindling, keeping the fireplace door open
-Once the wood logs have ignited, close and lock the door

VACATION RENTAL CONTRACT TERMS & CONDITIONS, COMPLETE:
Thank you for taking the time to read our rules, and please share with additional guests. By making a reservation, you agree to the following:

OCCUPANCY: The maximum occupancy, equal to the number of people the home sleeps, is the maximum number of people, including children over the age of 3 (infants age 2 and under do not count towards occupancy), allowed at the property at all times. The maximum occupancy for a vacation rental is mandated by the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance and is strictly enforced.
In the event the maximum occupancy is exceeded, RRVH (full business name Russian River Vacation Homes or RRVH for short) reserves the right to charge at least a minimum $500 violation penalty, plus any costs incurred by RRVH and/or the property owner as a result of the ordinance violation, excessive wear and tear to the property, extra cleaning, and damages to the property and/or surrounding properties. In general, two additional day guests are allowed at no extra cost, as long as RRVH has given Guest prior written approval (excludes certain homes). RRVH reserves the right to terminate the reservation immediately without refund if the maximum occupancy is exceeded.
No campers, RV’s, tents, or trailers are allowed on the premises.

AGE REQUIREMENTS: Guests must be 21 years or older to rent or check in to a vacation rental.

PARKING: Vehicles must be parked either on the premises or on street parking directly in front of the property. No campers, RV’s, tents, or trailers are allowed on the premises.

NOISE: Per county ordinance, quiet hours are between 10:00pm and 8:00am and no outdoor amplified sound is allowed on the premises at any time. In addition, loud or unruly behavior is restricted by a local ordinance, whether or not the maximum occupancy is exceeded, and may result in citation or arrest by local law enforcement. Neighborhood disturbances caused by Guest and their invitees puts the home’s permit to operate as a vacation rental in jeopardy. Guests who continue to engage in excessively loud and unruly behavior after being asked to stop by either law enforcement or a RRVH representative are also in violation of the ordinance and this agreement, and may be asked to vacate the premises immediately without refund.

PET POLICY: Dogs Allowed. Guest must notify RRVH prior to check-in if they are bringing a dog or dogs, including breed(s) and size(s). Guest agrees that the RRVH and the owner of the property are not liable for their dog. If there is excessive dog hair, dirt and/or sand tracked into the rental, or other needed clean-up, guests will be assessed an additional clean-up fee. Guest will report any pet “accidents” or damage to RRVH prior to departure. Guest is responsible for the cost of any pet-related clean-up and/or damages.
Guests and their dogs must follow the below rules:
a) Dogs are not allowed on furniture or beds
b) Uncrated dogs will not be left unattended at the house
c) Guest must clean up after their dog, both on and off the premises, and responsibly dispose of dog waste.
d) Guests will adhere to local leash laws.
e) Dogs are not allowed in pools or hot tubs at any time.
f) No excessive barking. Guest is aware that excessive barking at a vacation rental is a violation of county ordinance.

DAMAGE WAIVER: There is a non-refundable Damage Waiver fee for all reservations, already included in the rental fee. The damage waiver covers up to $3000.00 of unintentional damages to real or personal property of the rental unit that occurs during the stay. Any damages that exceed $3,000.00 will be charged to the guest directly. The damage waiver does not cover replacement of missing items, additional housekeeping charges, intentional damage or gross negligence, or damages resulting from a violation of the rules outlined in this agreement. To ensure that they are not charged for any damages, Guest is responsible for reporting any accidental damages to RRVH prior to check-out.

PAYMENT OF RENT AND FEES: Payments for the following fees are made through Airbnb: Rental Fee, Cleaning and Linens Fee, 12% Sonoma County Transient Occupancy Tax, Damage Waiver Fee and Airbnb’s Guest Service Fee. RRVH may charge slightly higher rates for bookings made on 3rd party platforms, such as Airbnb, to cover additional costs associated with listing on the platform. Payments for additional services, such as rental items, travel insurance or additional nights will be paid and collected through the Airbnb platform.

OPTIONAL VACATION RENTAL INSURANCE: Vacation Rental Insurance is available for your reservation. Vacation Rental Insurance reimburses for pre-paid, non-refundable expenses due to certain unforeseeable circumstances that may jeopardize your vacation investment and force you to incur unplanned expenses. We strongly recommend you purchase this valuable protection. You may add Vacation Rental Insurance to your trip by contacting us directly.

DATE CHANGES: Guest may opt to change the reservation to different dates within one year of the original arrival date by informing us in writing no later than 2 weeks prior to the original arrival date. If the reservation is moved to dates that fall within a time period that rents at a lower rate, no refunds will be given. All high-season rates, holiday rates and night minimums will apply to any changed dates, and special offers and discounts are only transferable to dates that fall within the valid time frame. A $40 change date fee applies.

SWITCHING HOMES: Reservations are not transferable between homes. If Guest decides to switch the reservation to a different home, the switch is considered a cancellation and the cancellation policy applies. If the original home booked becomes unavailable or uninhabitable, RRVH reserves the right to relocate the Guest to comparable accommodations as determined by RRVH and agreed to by the Guest. Guest agrees that RRVH shall not be held liable for any sequential or secondary damages, including but not limited to relocation or additional travel expenses or for any other loss.

REFUNDS: No refunds will be given for Cancellation or Interruption that occurs due to inclement weather. Nor will refunds be given for any occurrence out of RRVH’ control including, but not limited to, power outages and loss of phone or internet service.

CHECK-IN and CHECK-OUT: Guests failing to abide by check-in and check-out times will be assessed a charge of one night’s rent. Guaranteed paid early check-ins and pre-paid late check outs are possible during our off-season (October 1st to April 30th), depending on availability. Paid early check-ins and late check-outs must be arranged at least 24 hours in advance.

VACATING THE HOME:
-Remove all trash & recycling from home. Place in appropriate outside cans/bins.

-Put all furniture and home items back in place.
-Check for any personal items.
-Turn off lights, heaters, and secure the home.
-Return any keys and/or remotes to their starting location.

CLEANING:
The cleaning fee covers the cost of a ‘normal’ after-guest cleaning. In the event that the home requires more cleaning than deemed normal, the additional cleaning hours will be charged to guest at the rate of $30.00 per hour. Common reasons for extra cleaning charges: extra trash removal, cleaning food spills, excessive pet hair removal from furnishings, picking up cigarette butts or other trash. Most extra cleaning costs are not covered by the damage waiver.

MID-STAY CLEANING: We require mid-stay cleans for stays longer than 13 nights. The online booking system will not automatically add mid-stay cleans, so we will contact you to add the cleaning to your stay after the reservation is made. Mid-stay cleanings cost between $60 and $90, depending on the size of the home. For stays 13 nights or less, mid-stay cleaning is available upon request, at a rate of $30 per hour. Please contact our office if you would like to add additional cleaning services on to your stay.

MISSING/DAMAGED ITEMS: Items provided with the vacation home must remain at the home at all times. Guests are responsible for the replacement and labor costs for any missing items. Accidental damages up to $3000 are covered by the damage waiver, see details above.

HOME AMENITIES: All homes are privately owned and equipped for basic vacation needs. The homes are furnished at the minimum with sheets, blankets, pillows, bathing towels, basic cooking utensils, and charcoal or propane grills. Supplies included with your stay: bar soap, laundry soap, dish/dishwasher soap, sponge, kitchen garbage bags, basic cleaning supplies, shampoo and conditioner, and toilet paper (1 roll per person the home sleeps) and paper towels (1 full roll per kitchen) are supplied at all homes. See the home’s amenities list for details. There is a local Safeway if you need to purchase additional supplies during your stay. Most homes with a wood burning stove or fireplace do not provide firewood.

PHONE: All of our homes have a landline as cell phone service can be spotty in our area. The phone number and details on the service are provided with the arrival instructions. If the home phone offers local call only, you need a calling card and/or credit card to make long distance calls. If it states unlimited calls in US, the home’s phone has free nationwide long distance.

MAINTENANCE: RRVH routinely inspects homes for maintenance issues and wear and tear. Even so, Guest should inspect the rental property upon arrival and report any pre-existing problems to RRVH within 2 hours of check-in. Maintenance problems in the home will be handled in a timely and professional manner. In no event will we issue a refund for a problem we had no opportunity to resolve. Although each property is completely equipped for rental purposes, we cannot accept responsibility for aesthetic conflicts. When guests are unable to preview vacation home, guests accept such property as described and hold the agency harmless for any discrepancies upon taking occupancy.

PROPERTY MANAGER AND OWNER REPRESNTATIONS ENTERING PROPERTY: Occasionally, the Owner or their designated representative(s), including housekeeper, caretaker, or repair person, may enter the property at any reasonable time for inspections, routine maintenance or repairs with advance notice, if possible, to Guest via email, text or phone call. Pest Control, landscape and pool and hot tub, utility and maintenance personnel may enter the grounds of the property at any time, without prior notice. Staff may visit the home to check on safety issues or violations of rental terms and conditions

BBQS: All homes are equipped with either a gas or charcoal BBQ. Guests are responsible for cleaning BBQs after use. Food remnants or excessive grease splattered on the BBQ grill may result in an extra cleaning charge. Guest is responsible for following any specific instructions posted in the home or at the grill. For propane grills, propane is provided. We make every effort to ensure that there is at least one spare full tank at the property prior to guest arrival. Upon arrival, check the tank. If the spare tank is empty, it can be exchanged at our office during business hours or you may have tank filled and exchanged at a different location. You can submit a receipt to our office for reimbursement. Keep the valve on the tank closed and the gas off to the BBQ when the BBQ is not in use. For charcoal grills, charcoal is not provided. The Safeway in Guerneville is open late and is a convenient place to purchase charcoal.

BOATS AND DOCKS: Guest uses all boats, docks and water related amenities at their own risk. Guest will not hold homeowner, RRVH, or any of their agents responsible for loss or injury as a result of their use. If the home you rented comes with boats and/or a dock, the following terms apply: Boats and most docks are only available when the summer dams are in, approximately mid-June through September. Summer dam installation and removal is out of our control and is subject to change. RRVH does not guarantee the availability of boats or docks. If boats are provided and available, guests are responsible for boats during their stay and will keep all boats properly stored and locked when not in use. In the event that a boat goes missing during the course of their stay, Guests will be billed the cost of replacement.

LEFT ITEMS: RRVH is not responsible for any items left behind. Please make sure you remove all personal items before departing. There is a $20 service fee plus shipping charges to retrieve and return items.

SMOKING: Smoking is not allowed in any of our homes. If smoking inside does occur during your stay, RRVH will charge an extra cleaning charge of $500.

HOT TUBS AND POOLS: To see if the home you rented provides either a hot tub or a pool, refer to the home’s web listing. Guest will not hold the homeowner or RRVH responsible for any accidents or medical conditions that may occur from using the hot tub/spa and/or pool.

All hot tubs and pools are routinely and professionally serviced. If the home is equipped with a hot tub and/or pool, the guest is responsible for maintaining it in good condition. Guest requests for extra pool or hot tub service may be at the Guest’s expense. In the event that the water is found to be contaminated after departure, the Guest may be responsible for the cost of draining and cleaning the hot tub and/or restoring the pool to usable condition. Use of the hot tub or pool that is considered non-malicious but still results in additional service is covered by damage waiver. Malicious use is not covered. Due to our remote location and difficulty in securing parts in a timely manner, RRVH cannot guarantee the function of a hot tub or pool. No monetary adjustments will be made for any malfunction RRVH did not have the opportunity to resolve, nor for any malfunction due to user error and/or misuse.

TRASH: Guests are responsible for putting their garbage outside in the cans the night before garbage day. Please recycle as much as possible. Guest must put trash and recycling bins out on the street the night before for early pick-up the next morning. If guest fails to put the garbage out, Guest agrees to pay the cost of trash removal.

USE OF PROPERTY: Our vacation rentals are for accommodation only. Commercial use of the property is strictly prohibited unless RRVH has given prior written approval. This includes, but is not limited to, movie production, professional photography shoots, retreats for which the Guest has advertised and been paid by participants, and any activity related to marijuana production. Use of the property for a commercial enterprise (legal or illegal) will result in immediate termination of the booking without refund. Guest will be responsible for all costs associated with bringing the property back to its original condition plus an administration charge of 20% of the restoration costs, or $500, whichever is greater.

ONSITE MONITORING DEVICES: For the safety and security of guests and the home, some homes have on-site devices such as security cameras and noise monitors. Check the Know Before You Book section of the home’s online description for specific information on any devices located at the home you booked. Any attempt to turn off, damage, disrupt or remove these devices will lead to fines and/or eviction without a refund.

LIABILITY: Guest agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the homeowner, RRVH, and their agents from any loss or personal injury suffered by vacationer or his or her guests or invitees in relation to the rental of the vacation home including, but not limited to, the use of recreation amenities such as hot tubs, pools, trampolines, boats, docks and play structures. Guest shall immediately inform RRVH upon learning of any unsafe or hazardous conditions.

24/7 GUEST EMERGENCY CONTACT: In the event of maintenance emergency or any other matter that cannot wait until our regular business hours, use our emergency phone extension, provided after you reserve. Please note that we do not monitor our Airbnb inbox after-hours so any message left there will not be received until our office reopens.

All rules outlined above and posted on premises must be adhered to by guests and their invitees. Upon request we will mail, e-mail or fax a copy of these rules to you.

It is important to note that this cabin was built in 1929 and owned by one family for over 80 years. While it has all the creature comforts you'd ever want, I have tried to honor the history of this sweet home by keeping some of the vintage finishes.

Also, Guerneville is hilly and has twisty, old streets. This is part of the charm. If you prefer new wide open roads and super quick drives to wineries, you should consider Napa instead of Western Sonoma County.

Other things to note
SAME DAY RESERVATIONS: We are unable to accommodate same-day online reservations past 9am. It should not happen, but in case the system is allowing you to book for same-day arrival and it is after 9am, please reach out to us before completing your reservation. Our office closes at 5pm. If it is after 5pm, please do not complete your reservation; no one will be available to process your reservation and prepare for your arrival.

HOUSE RULES: The homes we manage are private residences, beloved by their owners and located in residential neighborhoods. Please help us, Airbnb, and the vacation rental industry at large by treating the home and the neighborhood with care. Here is a quick list of the most important rules (see below for our complete rental terms and conditions):
-No parties, gatherings, events or excess noise. The maximum occupancy is strictly set by the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance, and exceeding the max occupancy can result in hefty fines and loss of permit.
-Observe Quiet Hours, 10pm to 8am.
-Park mindfully. Parking in certain neighborhoods is scarce, certain spots that look like street parking are claimed by neighboring houses. We do our best to provide details on where to park, and if there is any question, please ask. No RVs or trailers.
-This home allows dogs. Please follow all pet rules (below) and leash laws, and pick up after your dogs. Excess barking is a violation of the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance, so if you know your dog to be a barker, please make other arrangements for them. If you have a pet other than a dog, please inquire before booking.
-Treat the home and homeowner’s possessions with respect and report any damages to our office right away. Accidental damage is covered by our damage waiver, included in the rental fee.

Please don’t hesitate to ask us any questions about our policies. We look forward to hosting you!

VACATION RENTAL CONTRACT TERMS & CONDITIONS, COMPLETE:
A copy of the below terms and conditions will be emailed to you upon reserving. In the interest of clarity and transparency, here they in full. Thank you for taking the time to read our rules, and please share with additional guests. By making a reservation, you agree to the following:

OCCUPANCY: The maximum overnight occupancy for this home is 6 people. This is the maximum number of people (including children age 3 and up; infants age 2 and under do not count towards occupancy) that are allowed at the property at all times. The maximum occupancy for a vacation rental is mandated by the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance and is strictly enforced. In the event the maximum occupancy is exceeded, RRVH (full business name Russian River Vacation Homes or RRVH for short) reserves the right to charge at least a minimum $500 violation penalty, plus any costs incurred by RRVH and/or the property owner as a result of the ordinance violation, excessive wear and tear to the property, extra cleaning, and damages to the property and/or surrounding properties. In general, two additional day guests are allowed at no extra cost, as long as RRVH has given Guest prior written approval (excludes certain homes). RRVH reserves the right to terminate the reservation immediately without refund if the maximum occupancy is exceeded.
No campers, RV’s, tents, or trailers are allowed on the premises.

AGE REQUIREMENTS: Guests must be 21 years or older to rent or check in to a vacation rental.

PARKING: This home allows a maximum of 3 vehicles. Vehicles must be parked either on the premises or on street parking directly in front of the property. No campers, RV’s, tents, or trailers are allowed on the premises.

NOISE: Per county ordinance, quiet hours are between 10:00pm and 8:00am and no outdoor amplified sound is allowed on the premises at any time. In addition, loud or unruly behavior is restricted by a local ordinance, whether or not the maximum occupancy is exceeded, and may result in citation or arrest by local law enforcement. Neighborhood disturbances caused by Guest and their invitees puts the home’s permit to operate as a vacation rental in jeopardy. Guests who continue to engage in excessively loud and unruly behavior after being asked to stop by either law enforcement or a RRVH representative are also in violation of the ordinance and this agreement, and may be asked to vacate the premises immediately without refund.

PET POLICY: Dogs Allowed. Guest must notify RRVH prior to check-in if they are bringing a dog or dogs, including breed(s) and size(s). Guest agrees that the RRVH and the owner of the property are not liable for their dog. If there is excessive dog hair, dirt and/or sand tracked into the rental, or other needed clean-up, guests will be assessed an additional clean-up fee. Guest will report any pet “accidents” or damage to RRVH prior to departure. Guest is responsible for the cost of any pet-related clean-up and/or damages.
Guests and their dogs must follow the below rules:
a) Dogs are not allowed on furniture or beds
b) Uncrated dogs will not be left unattended at the house
c) Guest must clean up after their dog, both on and off the premises, and responsibly dispose of dog waste.
d) Guests will adhere to local leash laws.
e) Dogs are not allowed in pools or hot tubs at any time.
f) No excessive barking. Guest is aware that excessive barking at a vacation rental is a violation of county ordinance.

DAMAGE WAIVER: There is a non-refundable Damage Waiver fee for all reservations, already included in the rental fee. The damage waiver covers up to $3000.00 of unintentional damages to real or personal property of the rental unit that occurs during the stay. Any damages that exceed $3,000.00 will be charged to the guest directly. The damage waiver does not cover replacement of missing items, additional housekeeping charges, intentional damage or gross negligence, or damages resulting from a violation of the rules outlined in this agreement. To ensure that they are not charged for any damages, Guest is responsible for reporting any accidental damages to RRVH prior to check-out.

PAYMENT OF RENT AND FEES: Payments for the following fees are made through Airbnb: Rental Fee, Cleaning and Linens Fee, 12% Sonoma County Transient Occupancy Tax, Damage Waiver Fee and Airbnb’s Guest Service Fee. RRVH may charge slightly higher rates for bookings made on 3rd party platforms, such as Airbnb, to cover additional costs associated with listing on the platform. Payments for additional services, such as rental items, travel insurance or additional nights will be paid and collected through the Airbnb platform.

OPTIONAL VACATION RENTAL INSURANCE: Vacation Rental Insurance is available for your reservation. Vacation Rental Insurance reimburses for pre-paid, non-refundable expenses due to certain unforeseeable circumstances that may jeopardize your vacation investment and force you to incur unplanned expenses. We strongly recommend you purchase this valuable protection. You may add Vacation Rental Insurance to your trip by contacting us directly.

DATE CHANGES: Guest may opt to change the reservation to different dates within one year of the original arrival date by informing us in writing no later than 2 weeks prior to the original arrival date. If the reservation is moved to dates that fall within a time period that rents at a lower rate, no refunds will be given. All high-season rates, holiday rates and night minimums will apply to any changed dates, and special offers and discounts are only transferable to dates that fall within the valid time frame. A $40 change date fee applies.

SWITCHING HOMES: Reservations are not transferable between homes. If Guest decides to switch the reservation to a different home, the switch is considered a cancellation and the cancellation policy applies. If the original home booked becomes unavailable or uninhabitable, RRVH reserves the right to relocate the Guest to comparable accommodations as determined by RRVH and agreed to by the Guest. Guest agrees that RRVH shall not be held liable for any sequential or secondary damages, including but not limited to relocation or additional travel expenses or for any other loss.

REFUNDS: No refunds will be given for Cancellation or Interruption that occurs due to inclement weather. Nor will refunds be given for any occurrence out of RRVH’ control including, but not limited to, power outages and loss of phone or internet service.

CHECK-IN and CHECK-OUT: Guests failing to abide by check-in and check-out times will be assessed a charge of one night’s rent. Guaranteed paid early check-ins and pre-paid late check outs are possible during our off-season (October 1st to April 30th), depending on availability. Paid early check-ins and late check-outs must be arranged at least 24 hours in advance.

VACATING THE HOME:
-Remove all trash & recycling from home. Place in appropriate outside cans/bins.
-Wash all dishes and leave drying in the dishrack. If the home is equipped with a dishwasher, you may leave the dishwasher running.
-Clean up any messes or spills that may have occurred during your stay.
-Put all furniture and home items back in place.
-Check for any personal items.
-Turn off lights, heaters, and secure the home.
-Return any keys and/or remotes to their starting location.

CLEANING:
The cleaning fee covers the cost of a ‘normal’ after-guest cleaning. In the event that the home requires more cleaning than deemed normal, the additional cleaning hours will be charged to guest at the rate of $30.00 per hour. Common reasons for extra cleaning charges: extra trash removal, cleaning food spills, excessive pet hair removal from furnishings, picking up cigarette butts or other trash. Most extra cleaning costs are not covered by the damage waiver.

MID-STAY CLEANING: We require mid-stay cleans for stays longer than 13 nights. The online booking system will not automatically add mid-stay cleans, so we will contact you to add the cleaning to your stay after the reservation is made. Mid-stay cleanings cost between $60 and $90, depending on the size of the home. For stays 13 nights or less, mid-stay cleaning is available upon request, at a rate of $30 per hour. Please contact our office if you would like to add additional cleaning services on to your stay.

MISSING/DAMAGED ITEMS: Items provided with the vacation home must remain at the home at all times. Guests are responsible for the replacement and labor costs for any missing items. Accidental damages up to $3000 are covered by the damage waiver, see details above.

HOME AMENITIES: All homes are privately owned and equipped for basic vacation needs. The homes are furnished at the minimum with sheets, blankets, pillows, bathing towels, basic cooking utensils, and charcoal or propane grills. Supplies included with your stay: bar soap, laundry soap, dish/dishwasher soap, sponge, kitchen garbage bags, basic cleaning supplies, shampoo and conditioner, and toilet paper (1 roll per person the home sleeps) and paper towels (1 full roll per kitchen) are supplied at all homes. See the home’s amenities list for details. There is a local Safeway if you need to purchase additional supplies during your stay. Most homes with a wood burning stove or fireplace do not provide firewood.

PHONE: All of our homes have a landline as cell phone service can be spotty in our area. The phone number and details on the service are provided with the arrival instructions. If the home phone offers local call only, you need a calling card and/or credit card to make long distance calls. If it states unlimited calls in US, the home’s phone has free nationwide long distance.

MAINTENANCE: RRVH routinely inspects homes for maintenance issues and wear and tear. Even so, Guest should inspect the rental property upon arrival and report any pre-existing problems to RRVH within 2 hours of check-in. Maintenance problems in the home will be handled in a timely and professional manner. In no event will we issue a refund for a problem we had no opportunity to resolve. Although each property is completely equipped for rental purposes, we cannot accept responsibility for aesthetic conflicts. When guests are unable to preview vacation home, guests accept such property as described and hold the agency harmless for any discrepancies upon taking occupancy.

PROPERTY MANAGER AND OWNER REPRESNTATIONS ENTERING PROPERTY: Occasionally, the Owner or their designated representative(s), including housekeeper, caretaker, or repair person, may enter the property at any reasonable time for inspections, routine maintenance or repairs with advance notice if possible, to Guest via email, text or phone call. Pest Control, landscape and pool and hot tub, utility and maintenance personnel may enter the grounds of the property at any time, without prior notice. Staff may visit the home to check on safety issues or violations of rental terms and conditions

BBQS: All homes are equipped with either a gas or charcoal BBQ. Guests are responsible for cleaning BBQs after use. Food remnants or excessive grease splattered on the BBQ grill may result in an extra cleaning charge. Guest is responsible for following any specific instructions posted in the home or at the grill. For propane grills, propane is provided. We make every effort to ensure that there is at least one spare full tank at the property prior to guest arrival. Upon arrival, check the tank. If the spare tank is empty, it can be exchanged at our office during business hours or you may have tank filled and exchanged at a different location. You can submit a receipt to our office for reimbursement. Keep the valve on the tank closed and the gas off to the BBQ when the BBQ is not in use. For charcoal grills, charcoal is not provided. The Safeway in Guerneville is open late and is a convenient place to purchase charcoal.

BOATS AND DOCKS: Guest uses all boats, docks and water related amenities at their own risk. Guest will not hold homeowner, RRVH, or any of their agents responsible for loss or injury as a result of their use. If the home you rented comes with boats and/or a dock, the following terms apply: Boats and most docks are only available when the summer dams are in, approximately mid-June through September. Summer dam installation and removal is out of our control and is subject to change. RRVH does not guarantee the availability of boats or docks. If boats are provided and available, guests are responsible for boats during their stay and will keep all boats properly stored and locked when not in use. In the event that a boat goes missing during the course of their stay, Guests will be billed the cost of replacement.

LEFT ITEMS: RRVH is not responsible for any items left behind. Please make sure you remove all personal items before departing. There is a $20 service fee plus shipping charges to retrieve and return items.

SMOKING: Smoking is not allowed in any of our homes. If smoking inside does occur during your stay, RRVH will charge an extra cleaning charge of $500.

HOT TUBS AND POOLS: To see if the home you rented provides either a hot tub or a pool, refer to the home’s web listing. Guest will not hold the homeowner or RRVH responsible for any accidents or medical conditions that may occur from using the hot tub/spa and/or pool.

All hot tubs and pools are routinely and professionally serviced. If the home is equipped with a hot tub and/or pool, the guest is responsible for maintaining it in good condition. Guest requests for extra pool or hot tub service may be at the Guest’s expense. In the event that the water is found to be contaminated after departure, the Guest may be responsible for the cost of draining and cleaning the hot tub and/or restoring the pool to usable condition. Use of the hot tub or pool that is considered non-malicious but still results in additional service is covered by damage waiver. Malicious use is not covered. Due to our remote location and difficulty in securing parts in a timely manner, RRVH cannot guarantee the function of a hot tub or pool. No monetary adjustments will be made for any malfunction RRVH did not have the opportunity to resolve, nor for any malfunction due to user error and/or misuse.

TRASH: Guests are responsible for putting their garbage outside in the cans the night before garbage day. Please recycle as much as possible. Guest must put trash and recycling bins out on the street the night before for early pick-up the next morning. If guest fails to put the garbage out, Guest agrees to pay the cost of trash removal.

USE OF PROPERTY: Our vacation rentals are for accommodation only. Commercial use of the property is strictly prohibited unless RRVH has given prior written approval. This includes, but is not limited to, movie production, professional photography shoots, retreats for which the Guest has advertised and been paid by participants, and any activity related to marijuana production. Use of the property for a commercial enterprise (legal or illegal) will result in immediate termination of the booking without refund. Guest will be responsible for all costs associated with bringing the property back to its original condition plus an administration charge of 20% of the restoration costs, or $500, whichever is greater.

FUTURE CONTACT: Guests will automatically remain on our email list after their stay in order to receive our eNewsletter. If you would rather not remain on the list, you may let us know, or unsubscribe via the guest eNewsletter email unsubscribe function. We will not sell or share your contact information with any third parties.

ONSITE MONITORING DEVICES: For the safety and security of guests and the home, some homes have on-site devices such as security cameras and noise monitors. Check the Know Before You Book section of the home’s online description for specific information on any devices located at the home you booked. Any attempt to turn off, damage, disrupt or remove these devices will lead to fines and/or eviction without a refund.

LIABILITY: Guest agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the homeowner, RRVH, and their agents from any loss or personal injury suffered by vacationer or his or her guests or invitees in relation to the rental of the vacation home including, but not limited to, the use of recreation amenities such as hot tubs, pools, trampolines, boats, docks and play structures. Guest shall immediately inform RRVH upon learning of any unsafe or hazardous conditions.

24/7 GUEST EMERGENCY CONTACT: In the event of maintenance emergency or any other matter that cannot wait until our regular business hours, use our emergency phone extension, provided after you reserve. Please note that we do not monitor our Airbnb inbox after-hours so any message left there will not be received until our office reopens.

All rules outlined above and posted on premises must be adhered to by guests and their invitees. Upon request we will mail, e-mail or fax a copy of these rules to you.

Bonne Chère is the ideal spot to kick back, relax and enjoy the good cheer and splendid food and wine that Sonoma County is known for. After a day of exploring, imagine relaxing with a good book and a glass of wine in Bonne Chère's comfortable living room or cooking a feast in the gourmet kitchen with fresh ingredients from one of the area’s farmer’s markets. Other options include lounging on the spacious deck or taking a soak in the private hot tub.

Inside Bonne Chère, guests will find the home both delightful and modern. The kitchen is stocked for even the pickiest cook, and includes stainless steel appliances, gas stove, dishwasher, beautiful wood cabinets and tile, and a wine fridge.

VACATION RENTAL CONTRACT TERMS & CONDITIONS, COMPLETE:
A copy of the below terms and conditions will be emailed to you upon reserving. In the interest of clarity and transparency, here they in full. Thank you for taking the time to read our rules, and please share with additional guests. By making a reservation, you agree to the following:

OCCUPANCY: The maximum overnight occupancy for this home is 4. This is the maximum number of people (including children age 3 and up; infants age 2 and under do not count towards occupancy) that are allowed at the property at all times. The maximum occupancy for a vacation rental is mandated by the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance and is strictly enforced. In the event the maximum occupancy is exceeded, RRVH (full business name Russian River Vacation Homes or RRVH for short) reserves the right to charge at least a minimum $500 violation penalty, plus any costs incurred by RRVH and/or the property owner as a result of the ordinance violation, excessive wear and tear to the property, extra cleaning, and damages to the property and/or surrounding properties. In general, two additional day guests are allowed at no extra cost, as long as RRVH has given Guest prior written approval (excludes certain homes). RRVH reserves the right to terminate the reservation immediately without refund if the maximum occupancy is exceeded.
No campers, RV’s, tents, or trailers are allowed on the premises.

AGE REQUIREMENTS: Guests must be 21 years or older to rent or check in to a vacation rental.

PARKING: This home allows a maximum of 2 vehicles. Vehicles must be parked either on the premises or on street parking directly in front of the property. No campers, RV’s, tents, or trailers are allowed on the premises.

NOISE: Per county ordinance, quiet hours are between 10:00pm and 8:00am and no outdoor amplified sound is allowed on the premises at any time. In addition, loud or unruly behavior is restricted by a local ordinance, whether or not the maximum occupancy is exceeded, and may result in citation or arrest by local law enforcement. Neighborhood disturbances caused by Guest and their invitees puts the home’s permit to operate as a vacation rental in jeopardy. Guests who continue to engage in excessively loud and unruly behavior after being asked to stop by either law enforcement or a RRVH representative are also in violation of the ordinance and this agreement, and may be asked to vacate the premises immediately without refund.

PET POLICY: Dogs Allowed. Guest must notify RRVH prior to check-in if they are bringing a dog or dogs, including breed(s) and size(s). Guest agrees that the RRVH and the owner of the property are not liable for their dog. If there is excessive dog hair, dirt and/or sand tracked into the rental, or other needed clean-up, guests will be assessed an additional clean-up fee. Guest will report any pet “accidents” or damage to RRVH prior to departure. Guest is responsible for the cost of any pet-related clean-up and/or damages.
Guests and their dogs must follow the below rules:
a) Dogs are not allowed on furniture or beds
b) Uncrated dogs will not be left unattended at the house
c) Guest must clean up after their dog, both on and off the premises, and responsibly dispose of dog waste.
d) Guests will adhere to local leash laws.
e) Dogs are not allowed in pools or hot tubs at any time.
f) No excessive barking. Guest is aware that excessive barking at a vacation rental is a violation of county ordinance.

DAMAGE WAIVER: There is a non-refundable Damage Waiver fee for all reservations, already included in the rental fee. The damage waiver covers up to $3000.00 of unintentional damages to real or personal property of the rental unit that occurs during the stay. Any damages that exceed $3,000.00 will be charged to the guest directly. The damage waiver does not cover replacement of missing items, additional housekeeping charges, intentional damage or gross negligence, or damages resulting from a violation of the rules outlined in this agreement. To ensure that they are not charged for any damages, Guest is responsible for reporting any accidental damages to RRVH prior to check-out.

PAYMENT OF RENT AND FEES: Payments for the following fees are made through Airbnb: Rental Fee, Cleaning and Linens Fee, 12% Sonoma County Transient Occupancy Tax, Damage Waiver Fee and Airbnb’s Guest Service Fee. RRVH may charge slightly higher rates for bookings made on 3rd party platforms, such as Airbnb, to cover additional costs associated with listing on the platform. Payments for additional services, such as rental items, travel insurance or additional nights will be paid and collected through the Airbnb platform.

OPTIONAL VACATION RENTAL INSURANCE: Vacation Rental Insurance is available for your reservation. Vacation Rental Insurance reimburses for pre-paid, non-refundable expenses due to certain unforeseeable circumstances that may jeopardize your vacation investment and force you to incur unplanned expenses. We strongly recommend you purchase this valuable protection. You may add Vacation Rental Insurance to your trip by contacting us directly.

DATE CHANGES: Guest may opt to change the reservation to different dates within one year of the original arrival date by informing us in writing no later than 2 weeks prior to the original arrival date. If the reservation is moved to dates that fall within a time period that rents at a lower rate, no refunds will be given. All high-season rates, holiday rates and night minimums will apply to any changed dates, and special offers and discounts are only transferable to dates that fall within the valid time frame. A $40 change date fee applies.

SWITCHING HOMES: Reservations are not transferable between homes. If Guest decides to switch the reservation to a different home, the switch is considered a cancellation and the cancellation policy applies. If the original home booked becomes unavailable or uninhabitable, RRVH reserves the right to relocate the Guest to comparable accommodations as determined by RRVH and agreed to by the Guest. Guest agrees that RRVH shall not be held liable for any sequential or secondary damages, including but not limited to relocation or additional travel expenses or for any other loss.

REFUNDS: No refunds will be given for Cancellation or Interruption that occurs due to inclement weather. Nor will refunds be given for any occurrence out of RRVH’ control including, but not limited to, power outages and loss of phone or internet service.

CHECK-IN and CHECK-OUT: Guests failing to abide by check-in and check-out times will be assessed a charge of one night’s rent. Guaranteed paid early check-ins and pre-paid late check outs are possible during our off-season (October 1st to April 30th), depending on availability.

CLEANING:
The cleaning fee covers the cost of a ‘normal’ after-guest cleaning. In the event that the home requires more cleaning than deemed normal, the additional cleaning hours will be charged to guest at the rate of $30.00 per hour. Common reasons for extra cleaning charges: extra trash removal, cleaning food spills, excessive pet hair removal from furnishings, picking up cigarette butts or other trash. Most extra cleaning costs are not covered by the damage waiver.

MID-STAY CLEANING: We require mid-stay cleans for stays longer than 13 nights. The online booking system will not automatically add mid-stay cleans, so we will contact you to add the cleaning to your stay after the reservation is made. Mid-stay cleanings cost between $60 and $90, depending on the size of the home. For stays 13 nights or less, mid-stay cleaning is available upon request, at a rate of $30 per hour. Please contact our office if you would like to add additional cleaning services on to your stay.

MISSING/DAMAGED ITEMS: Items provided with the vacation home must remain at the home at all times. Guests are responsible for the replacement and labor costs for any missing items. Accidental damages up to $3000 are covered by the damage waiver, see details above.

HOME AMENITIES: All homes are privately owned and equipped for basic vacation needs. The homes are furnished at the minimum with sheets, blankets, pillows, bathing towels, basic cooking utensils, and charcoal or propane grills. Supplies included with your stay: bar soap, laundry soap, dish/dishwasher soap, sponge, kitchen garbage bags, basic cleaning supplies, shampoo and conditioner, and toilet paper (1 roll per person the home sleeps) and paper towels (1 full roll per kitchen) are supplied at all homes. See the home’s amenities list for details. There is a local Safeway if you need to purchase additional supplies during your stay. Most homes with a wood burning stove or fireplace do not provide firewood.

PHONE: All of our homes have a landline as cell phone service can be spotty in our area. The phone number and details on the service are provided with the arrival instructions. If the home phone offers local call only, you need a calling card and/or credit card to make long distance calls. If it states unlimited calls in US, the home’s phone has free nationwide long distance.

MAINTENANCE: RRVH routinely inspects homes for maintenance issues and wear and tear. Even so, Guest should inspect the rental property upon arrival and report any pre-existing problems to RRVH within 2 hours of check-in. Maintenance problems in the home will be handled in a timely and professional manner. In no event will we issue a refund for a problem we had no opportunity to resolve. Although each property is completely equipped for rental purposes, we cannot accept responsibility for aesthetic conflicts. When guests are unable to preview vacation home, guests accept such property as described and hold the agency harmless for any discrepancies upon taking occupancy.

PROPERTY MANAGER AND OWNER REPRESNTATIONS ENTERING PROPERTY: Occasionally, the Owner or their designated representative(s), including housekeeper, caretaker, or repair person, may enter the property at any reasonable time for inspections, routine maintenance or repairs with advance notice if possible, to Guest via email, text or phone call. Pest Control, landscape and pool and hot tub, utility and maintenance personnel may enter the grounds of the property at any time, without prior notice. Staff may visit the home to check on safety issues or violations of rental terms and conditions

BBQS: All homes are equipped with either a gas or charcoal BBQ. Guests are responsible for cleaning BBQs after use. Food remnants or excessive grease splattered on the BBQ grill may result in an extra cleaning charge. Guest is responsible for following any specific instructions posted in the home or at the grill. For propane grills, propane is provided. We make every effort to ensure that there is at least one spare full tank at the property prior to guest arrival. Upon arrival, check the tank. If the spare tank is empty, it can be exchanged at our office during business hours or you may have tank filled and exchanged at a different location. You can submit a receipt to our office for reimbursement. Keep the valve on the tank closed and the gas off to the BBQ when the BBQ is not in use. For charcoal grills, charcoal is not provided. The Safeway in Guerneville is open late and is a convenient place to purchase charcoal.

BOATS AND DOCKS: Guest uses all boats, docks and water related amenities at their own risk. Guest will not hold homeowner, RRVH, or any of their agents responsible for loss or injury as a result of their use. If the home you rented comes with boats and/or a dock, the following terms apply: Boats and most docks are only available when the summer dams are in, approximately mid-June through September. Summer dam installation and removal is out of our control and is subject to change. RRVH does not guarantee the availability of boats or docks. If boats are provided and available, guests are responsible for boats during their stay and will keep all boats properly stored and locked when not in use. In the event that a boat goes missing during the course of their stay, Guests will be billed the cost of replacement.

LEFT ITEMS: RRVH is not responsible for any items left behind. Please make sure you remove all personal items before departing. There is a $20 service fee plus shipping charges to retrieve and return items.

SMOKING: Smoking is not allowed in any of our homes. If smoking inside does occur during your stay, RRVH will charge an extra cleaning charge of $500.

HOT TUBS AND POOLS: To see if the home you rented provides either a hot tub or a pool, refer to the home’s web listing. Guest will not hold the homeowner or RRVH responsible for any accidents or medical conditions that may occur from using the hot tub/spa and/or pool.

All hot tubs and pools are routinely and professionally serviced. If the home is equipped with a hot tub and/or pool, the guest is responsible for maintaining it in good condition. Guest requests for extra pool or hot tub service may be at the Guest’s expense. In the event that the water is found to be contaminated after departure, the Guest may be responsible for the cost of draining and cleaning the hot tub and/or restoring the pool to usable condition. Use of the hot tub or pool that is considered non-malicious but still results in additional service is covered by damage waiver. Malicious use is not covered. Due to our remote location and difficulty in securing parts in a timely manner, RRVH cannot guarantee the function of a hot tub or pool. No monetary adjustments will be made for any malfunction RRVH did not have the opportunity to resolve, nor for any malfunction due to user error and/or misuse.

TRASH: Guests are responsible for putting their garbage outside in the cans the night before garbage day. Please recycle as much as possible. Guest must put trash and recycling bins out on the street the night before for early pick-up the next morning. If guest fails to put the garbage out, Guest agrees to pay the cost of trash removal.

USE OF PROPERTY: Our vacation rentals are for accommodation only. Commercial use of the property is strictly prohibited unless RRVH has given prior written approval. This includes, but is not limited to, movie production, professional photography shoots, retreats for which the Guest has advertised and been paid by participants, and any activity related to marijuana production. Use of the property for a commercial enterprise (legal or illegal) will result in immediate termination of the booking without refund. Guest will be responsible for all costs associated with bringing the property back to its original condition plus an administration charge of 20% of the restoration costs, or $500, whichever is greater.

FUTURE CONTACT: Guests will automatically remain on our email list after their stay in order to receive our eNewsletter. If you would rather not remain on the list, you may let us know, or unsubscribe via the guest eNewsletter email unsubscribe function. We will not sell or share your contact information with any third parties.

ONSITE MONITORING DEVICES: For the safety and security of guests and the home, some homes have on-site devices such as security cameras and noise monitors. Check the Know Before You Book section of the home’s online description for specific information on any devices located at the home you booked. Any attempt to turn off, damage, disrupt or remove these devices will lead to fines and/or eviction without a refund.

LIABILITY: Guest agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the homeowner, RRVH, and their agents from any loss or personal injury suffered by vacationer or his or her guests or invitees in relation to the rental of the vacation home including, but not limited to, the use of recreation amenities such as hot tubs, pools, trampolines, boats, docks and play structures. Guest shall immediately inform RRVH upon learning of any unsafe or hazardous conditions.

24/7 GUEST EMERGENCY CONTACT: In the event of maintenance emergency or any other matter that cannot wait until our regular business hours, use our emergency phone extension, provided after you reserve. Please note that we do not monitor our Airbnb inbox after-hours so any message left there will not be received until our office reopens.

NOISE: Per county ordinance, quiet hours are between 10:00pm and 8:00am and no outdoor amplified sound is allowed on the premises at any time. In addition, loud or unruly behavior is restricted by a local ordinance, whether or not the maximum occupancy is exceeded, and may result in citation or arrest by local law enforcement. Neighborhood disturbances caused by Guest and their invitees puts the home’s permit to operate as a vacation rental in jeopardy. Guests who continue to engage in excessively loud and unruly behavior after being asked to stop by either law enforcement or a RRVH representative are also in violation of the ordinance and this agreement, and may be asked to vacate the premises immediately without refund.

PET POLICY: No Pets Allowed. Guest agrees that no pets will be on the property at any time. Guests who bring an animal to a home that does not allow pets will be assessed an additional charge, which may include carpet and furniture cleaning, flea-bombing and damage charges. Failure to promptly remove a pet from a no-pets-allowed home may result in the immediate termination of the reservation, without refund.

DAMAGE WAIVER: There is a non-refundable Damage Waiver fee for all reservations, already included in the rental fee. The damage waiver covers up to $3000.00 of unintentional damages to real or personal property of the rental unit that occurs during the stay. Any damages that exceed $3,000.00 will be charged to the guest directly. The damage waiver does not cover replacement of missing items, additional housekeeping charges, intentional damage or gross negligence, or damages resulting from a violation of the rules outlined in this agreement. To ensure that they are not charged for any damages, Guest is responsible for reporting any accidental damages to RRVH prior to check-out.

PAYMENT OF RENT AND FEES: Payments for the following fees are made through Airbnb: Rental Fee, Cleaning and Linens Fee, 12% Sonoma County Transient Occupancy Tax, Damage Waiver Fee and Airbnb’s Guest Service Fee. RRVH may charge slightly higher rates for bookings made on 3rd party platforms, such as Airbnb, to cover additional costs associated with listing on the platform. Payments for additional services, such as rental items, travel insurance or additional nights will be paid and collected through the Airbnb platform.

OPTIONAL VACATION RENTAL INSURANCE: Vacation Rental Insurance is available for your reservation. Vacation Rental Insurance reimburses for pre-paid, non-refundable expenses due to certain unforeseeable circumstances that may jeopardize your vacation investment and force you to incur unplanned expenses. We strongly recommend you purchase this valuable protection. You may add Vacation Rental Insurance to your trip by contacting us directly.

DATE CHANGES: Guest may opt to change the reservation to different dates within one year of the original arrival date by informing us in writing no later than 2 weeks prior to the original arrival date. If the reservation is moved to dates that fall within a time period that rents at a lower rate, no refunds will be given. All high-season rates, holiday rates and night minimums will apply to any changed dates, and special offers and discounts are only transferable to dates that fall within the valid time frame. A $40 change date fee applies.

SWITCHING HOMES: Reservations are not transferable between homes. If Guest decides to switch the reservation to a different home, the switch is considered a cancellation and the cancellation policy applies. If the original home booked becomes unavailable or uninhabitable, RRVH reserves the right to relocate the Guest to comparable accommodations as determined by RRVH and agreed to by the Guest. Guest agrees that RRVH shall not be held liable for any sequential or secondary damages, including but not limited to relocation or additional travel expenses or for any other loss.

CLEANING:
The cleaning fee covers the cost of a ‘normal’ after-guest cleaning.

Common reasons for extra cleaning charges: extra trash removal, cleaning food spills, excessive pet hair removal from furnishings, picking up cigarette butts or other trash. Most extra cleaning costs are not covered by the damage waiver.

MID-STAY CLEANING: We require mid-stay cleans for stays longer than 13 nights. The online booking system will not automatically add mid-stay cleans, so we will contact you to add the cleaning to your stay after the reservation is made. Mid-stay cleanings cost between $60 and $90, depending on the size of the home. For stays 13 nights or less, mid-stay cleaning is available upon request, at a rate of $30 per hour. Please contact our office if you would like to add additional cleaning services on to your stay.

MISSING/DAMAGED ITEMS: Items provided with the vacation home must remain at the home at all times. Guests are responsible for the replacement and labor costs for any missing items. Accidental damages up to $3000 are covered by the damage waiver, see details above.

HOME AMENITIES: All homes are privately owned and equipped for basic vacation needs. The homes are furnished at the minimum with sheets, blankets, pillows, bathing towels, basic cooking utensils, and charcoal or propane grills. Supplies included with your stay: bar soap, laundry soap, dish/dishwasher soap, sponge, kitchen garbage bags, basic cleaning supplies, shampoo and conditioner, and toilet paper (1 roll per person the home sleeps) and paper towels (1 full roll per kitchen) are supplied at all homes. See the home’s amenities list for details. There is a local Safeway if you need to purchase additional supplies during your stay. Most homes with a wood burning stove or fireplace do not provide firewood.

PHONE: All of our homes have a landline as cell phone service can be spotty in our area. The phone number and details on the service are provided with the arrival instructions. If the home phone offers local call only, you need a calling card and/or credit card to make long distance calls. If it states unlimited calls in US, the home’s phone has free nationwide long distance.

MAINTENANCE: RRVH routinely inspects homes for maintenance issues and wear and tear. Even so, Guest should inspect the rental property upon arrival and report any pre-existing problems to RRVH within 2 hours of check-in. Maintenance problems in the home will be handled in a timely and professional manner. In no event will we issue a refund for a problem we had no opportunity to resolve. Although each property is completely equipped for rental purposes, we cannot accept responsibility for aesthetic conflicts. When guests are unable to preview vacation home, guests accept such property as described and hold the agency harmless for any discrepancies upon taking occupancy.

PROPERTY MANAGER AND OWNER REPRESNTATIONS ENTERING PROPERTY: Occasionally, the Owner or their designated representative(s), including housekeeper, caretaker, or repair person, may enter the property at any reasonable time for inspections, routine maintenance or repairs with advance notice if possible, to Guest via email, text or phone call. Pest Control, landscape and pool and hot tub, utility and maintenance personnel may enter the grounds of the property at any time, without prior notice. Staff may visit the home to check on safety issues or violations of rental terms and conditions

BBQS: All homes are equipped with either a gas or charcoal BBQ. Guests are responsible for cleaning BBQs after use. Food remnants or excessive grease splattered on the BBQ grill may result in an extra cleaning charge. Guest is responsible for following any specific instructions posted in the home or at the grill. For propane grills, propane is provided. We make every effort to ensure that there is at least one spare full tank at the property prior to guest arrival. Upon arrival, check the tank. If the spare tank is empty, it can be exchanged at our office during business hours or you may have tank filled and exchanged at a different location. You can submit a receipt to our office for reimbursement. Keep the valve on the tank closed and the gas off to the BBQ when the BBQ is not in use. For charcoal grills, charcoal is not provided. The Safeway in Guerneville is open late and is a convenient place to purchase charcoal.

BOATS AND DOCKS: Guest uses all boats, docks and water related amenities at their own risk. Guest will not hold homeowner, RRVH, or any of their agents responsible for loss or injury as a result of their use. If the home you rented comes with boats and/or a dock, the following terms apply: Boats and most docks are only available when the summer dams are in, approximately mid-June through September. Summer dam installation and removal is out of our control and is subject to change. RRVH does not guarantee the availability of boats or docks. If boats are provided and available, guests are responsible for boats during their stay and will keep all boats properly stored and locked when not in use. In the event that a boat goes missing during the course of their stay, Guests will be billed the cost of replacement.

LEFT ITEMS: RRVH is not responsible for any items left behind. Please make sure you remove all personal items before departing. There is a $20 service fee plus shipping charges to retrieve and return items.

SMOKING: Smoking is not allowed in any of our homes. If smoking inside does occur during your stay, RRVH will charge an extra cleaning charge of $500.

HOT TUBS AND POOLS: To see if the home you rented provides either a hot tub or a pool, refer to the home’s web listing. Guest will not hold the homeowner or RRVH responsible for any accidents or medical conditions that may occur from using the hot tub/spa and/or pool.

All hot tubs and pools are routinely and professionally serviced. If the home is equipped with a hot tub and/or pool, the guest is responsible for maintaining it in good condition. Guest requests for extra pool or hot tub service may be at the Guest’s expense. In the event that the water is found to be contaminated after departure, the Guest may be responsible for the cost of draining and cleaning the hot tub and/or restoring the pool to usable condition. Use of the hot tub or pool that is considered non-malicious but still results in additional service is covered by damage waiver. Malicious use is not covered. Due to our remote location and difficulty in securing parts in a timely manner, RRVH cannot guarantee the function of a hot tub or pool. No monetary adjustments will be made for any malfunction RRVH did not have the opportunity to resolve, nor for any malfunction due to user error and/or misuse.

TRASH: Guests are responsible for putting their garbage outside in the cans the night before garbage day. Please recycle as much as possible. Guest must put trash and recycling bins out on the street the night before for early pick-up the next morning. If guest fails to put the garbage out, Guest agrees to pay the cost of trash removal.

USE OF PROPERTY: Our vacation rentals are for accommodation only. Commercial use of the property is strictly prohibited unless RRVH has given prior written approval. This includes, but is not limited to, movie production, professional photography shoots, retreats for which the Guest has advertised and been paid by participants, and any activity related to marijuana production. Use of the property for a commercial enterprise (legal or illegal) will result in immediate termination of the booking without refund. Guest will be responsible for all costs associated with bringing the property back to its original condition plus an administration charge of 20% of the restoration costs, or $500, whichever is greater.

FUTURE CONTACT: Guests will automatically remain on our email list after their stay in order to receive our eNewsletter. If you would rather not remain on the list, you may let us know, or unsubscribe via the guest eNewsletter email unsubscribe function. We will not sell or share your contact information with any third parties.

ONSITE MONITORING DEVICES: For the safety and security of guests and the home, some homes have on-site devices such as security cameras and noise monitors. Check the Know Before You Book section of the home’s online description for specific information on any devices located at the home you booked. Any attempt to turn off, damage, disrupt or remove these devices will lead to fines and/or eviction without a refund.

LIABILITY: Guest agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the homeowner, RRVH, and their agents from any loss or personal injury suffered by vacationer or his or her guests or invitees in relation to the rental of the vacation home including, but not limited to, the use of recreation amenities such as hot tubs, pools, trampolines, boats, docks and play structures. Guest shall immediately inform RRVH upon learning of any unsafe or hazardous conditions.

24/7 GUEST EMERGENCY CONTACT: In the event of maintenance emergency or any other matter that cannot wait until our regular business hours, use our emergency phone extension, provided after you reserve.

Welcome to Velouria, our cabin in the redwoods of northern California. With a cosy loft bedroom in the main house, a romantic wood burning stove, a guest cabin located on the property and an outdoor hot tub, full kitchen surrounded by vaulted redwoods. It has everything to make your forrest retreat perfect. It's close to downtown Guerneville and many beautiful local attractions, nature trails and renown vineyards. It also has a big comfy couch and great Entertainment Center for those rainy days!

The space
This special cabin has a very unique, treehouse feel to it. Sit with a good book on one of the sundecks or in the tree-hung hammock by day, then warm yourself in the cosy living-room with rustic log fire when it gets dark, then have a relaxing night time dip in the hot tub before trundling of to your bed.

The river is a one mile walk away, mostly down a wooded, low traffic road. When the Summer Bridge is installed, you can easily cross and visit Korbel Winery and the delicatessen they have there.

Guest access
The main cabin includes updated kitchen with all new appliances, a bathroom with both a shower and a bath, living room with a smart TV with options (Netflix, HBO Go, FX Now, etc...) and a Blueray player.

The Main Loft Bedroom is located up a set of spiral stairs and has a queen size bed, dresser drawers and closet with hangers, bed side tables and stylish decor and lamps.

The satellite cabin is a seperate building located further down the property and has a queen size bed, two bedside tables and lamps and a space heater. The bathroom is located in the main house. The secondary cabin is small but nothing beats waking up to that view!

The Sundeck is positioned so you can usually choose a shady spot or full sun. It has sun loungers.

The hot tub deck is located further down the hill. It's such a perfect location for a hot tub, secluded and quiet. It has a hot tub spa and an outside shower. There are lights to light the deck and trees at night (the tree lights are located on the deck above, on the NE corner) or switch them off and let the Milky Way light up the night sky for you.

The Cabin is a 7 minuet drive to Guerneville where you will find a great selection of delicious food, quirky shops as well as access to the river at Johnson's Beach with Kayak and Canoe rentals.

We love dogs and they are always welcome in our home!

Other things to note
The property is located on a hillside with multiple levels. We love this and how much character and privacy it bring to the place, however if steps are a problem for you then this may inhibit your enjoyment of our home.

There is parking outside of the front gate and additional off street parking on our street. Please don't park in a way that blocks the road or park in front of neighbor’s drives. It's a small community and people can be sensitive about their land and parking. The driveway has a camera that watches over your cars at night, though we've never had any issues. It’s a very safe, small neighborhood.

Neighborhood disturbances caused by Guest and their invitees puts the home’s permit to operate as a vacation rental in jeopardy.

PET POLICY: Dogs Allowed. Guest must notify RRVH prior to check-in if they are bringing a dog or dogs, including breed(s) and size(s). Guest agrees that the RRVH and the owner of the property are not liable for their dog. If there is excessive dog hair, dirt and/or sand tracked into the rental, or other needed clean-up, guests will be assessed an additional clean-up fee.

DAMAGE WAIVER: There is a non-refundable Damage Waiver fee for all reservations, already included in the rental fee. The damage waiver covers up to $3000.00 of unintentional damages to real or personal property of the rental unit that occurs during the stay. Any damages that exceed $3,000.00 will be charged to the guest directly. The damage waiver does not cover replacement of missing items, additional housekeeping charges, intentional damage or gross negligence, or damages resulting from a violation of the rules outlined in this agreement. To ensure that they are not charged for any damages, Guest is responsible for reporting any accidental damages to RRVH prior to check-out.

PAYMENT OF RENT AND FEES: Payments for the following fees are made through Airbnb: Rental Fee, Cleaning and Linens Fee, 12% Sonoma County Transient Occupancy Tax, Damage Waiver Fee and Airbnb’s Guest Service Fee. RRVH may charge slightly higher rates for bookings made on 3rd party platforms, such as Airbnb, to cover additional costs associated with listing on the platform. Payments for additional services, such as rental items, travel insurance or additional nights will be paid and collected through the Airbnb platform.

OPTIONAL VACATION RENTAL INSURANCE: Vacation Rental Insurance is available for your reservation. Vacation Rental Insurance reimburses for pre-paid, non-refundable expenses due to certain unforeseeable circumstances that may jeopardize your vacation investment and force you to incur unplanned expenses. We strongly recommend you purchase this valuable protection. You may add Vacation Rental Insurance to your trip by contacting us directly.

DATE CHANGES: Guest may opt to change the reservation to different dates within one year of the original arrival date by informing us in writing no later than 2 weeks prior to the original arrival date. If the reservation is moved to dates that fall within a time period that rents at a lower rate, no refunds will be given. All high-season rates, holiday rates and night minimums will apply to any changed dates, and special offers and discounts are only transferable to dates that fall within the valid time frame. A $40 change date fee applies.

SWITCHING HOMES: Reservations are not transferable between homes. If Guest decides to switch the reservation to a different home, the switch is considered a cancellation and the cancellation policy applies. If the original home booked becomes unavailable or uninhabitable, RRVH reserves the right to relocate the Guest to comparable accommodations as determined by RRVH and agreed to by the Guest. Guest agrees that RRVH shall not be held liable for any sequential or secondary damages, including but not limited to relocation or additional travel expenses or for any other loss.

REFUNDS: No refunds will be given for Cancellation or Interruption that occurs due to inclement weather. Nor will refunds be given for any occurrence out of RRVH’ control including, but not limited to, power outages and loss of phone or internet service.

Common reasons for extra cleaning charges: extra trash removal, cleaning food spills, excessive pet hair removal from furnishings, picking up cigarette butts or other trash. Most extra cleaning costs are not covered by the damage waiver.

MID-STAY CLEANING: We require mid-stay cleans for stays longer than 13 nights. The online booking system will not automatically add mid-stay cleans, so we will contact you to add the cleaning to your stay after the reservation is made. Mid-stay cleanings cost between $60 and $90, depending on the size of the home. For stays 13 nights or less, mid-stay cleaning is available upon request, at a rate of $30 per hour. Please contact our office if you would like to add additional cleaning services on to your stay.

MISSING/DAMAGED ITEMS: Items provided with the vacation home must remain at the home at all times. Guests are responsible for the replacement and labor costs for any missing items. Accidental damages up to $3000 are covered by the damage waiver, see details above.

HOME AMENITIES: All homes are privately owned and equipped for basic vacation needs. The homes are furnished at the minimum with sheets, blankets, pillows, bathing towels, basic cooking utensils, and charcoal or propane grills. Supplies included with your stay: bar soap, laundry soap, dish/dishwasher soap, sponge, kitchen garbage bags, basic cleaning supplies, shampoo and conditioner, and toilet paper (1 roll per person the home sleeps) and paper towels (1 full roll per kitchen) are supplied at all homes. See the home’s amenities list for details. There is a local Safeway if you need to purchase additional supplies during your stay. Most homes with a wood burning stove or fireplace do not provide firewood.

PHONE: All of our homes have a landline as cell phone service can be spotty in our area. The phone number and details on the service are provided with the arrival instructions. If the home phone offers local call only, you need a calling card and/or credit card to make long distance calls. If it states unlimited calls in US, the home’s phone has free nationwide long distance.

MAINTENANCE: RRVH routinely inspects homes for maintenance issues and wear and tear. Even so, Guest should inspect the rental property upon arrival and report any pre-existing problems to RRVH within 2 hours of check-in. Maintenance problems in the home will be handled in a timely and professional manner. In no event will we issue a refund for a problem we had no opportunity to resolve. Although each property is completely equipped for rental purposes, we cannot accept responsibility for aesthetic conflicts. When guests are unable to preview vacation home, guests accept such property as described and hold the agency harmless for any discrepancies upon taking occupancy.

PROPERTY MANAGER AND OWNER REPRESNTATIONS ENTERING PROPERTY: Occasionally, the Owner or their designated representative(s), including housekeeper, caretaker, or repair person, may enter the property at any reasonable time for inspections, routine maintenance or repairs with advance notice if possible, to Guest via email, text or phone call. Pest Control, landscape and pool and hot tub, utility and maintenance personnel may enter the grounds of the property at any time, without prior notice. Staff may visit the home to check on safety issues or violations of rental terms and conditions

BBQS: All homes are equipped with either a gas or charcoal BBQ. Guests are responsible for cleaning BBQs after use. Food remnants or excessive grease splattered on the BBQ grill may result in an extra cleaning charge. Guest is responsible for following any specific instructions posted in the home or at the grill. For propane grills, propane is provided. We make every effort to ensure that there is at least one spare full tank at the property prior to guest arrival. Upon arrival, check the tank. If the spare tank is empty, it can be exchanged at our office during business hours or you may have tank filled and exchanged at a different location. You can submit a receipt to our office for reimbursement. Keep the valve on the tank closed and the gas off to the BBQ when the BBQ is not in use. For charcoal grills, charcoal is not provided. The Safeway in Guerneville is open late and is a convenient place to purchase charcoal.

BOATS AND DOCKS: Guest uses all boats, docks and water related amenities at their own risk. Guest will not hold homeowner, RRVH, or any of their agents responsible for loss or injury as a result of their use. If the home you rented comes with boats and/or a dock, the following terms apply: Boats and most docks are only available when the summer dams are in, approximately mid-June through September. Summer dam installation and removal is out of our control and is subject to change. RRVH does not guarantee the availability of boats or docks. If boats are provided and available, guests are responsible for boats during their stay and will keep all boats properly stored and locked when not in use. In the event that a boat goes missing during the course of their stay, Guests will be billed the cost of replacement.

LEFT ITEMS: RRVH is not responsible for any items left behind. Please make sure you remove all personal items before departing. There is a $20 service fee plus shipping charges to retrieve and return items.

SMOKING: Smoking is not allowed in any of our homes. If smoking inside does occur during your stay, RRVH will charge an extra cleaning charge of $500.

HOT TUBS AND POOLS: To see if the home you rented provides either a hot tub or a pool, refer to the home’s web listing. Guest will not hold the homeowner or RRVH responsible for any accidents or medical conditions that may occur from using the hot tub/spa and/or pool.

All hot tubs and pools are routinely and professionally serviced. If the home is equipped with a hot tub and/or pool, the guest is responsible for maintaining it in good condition. Guest requests for extra pool or hot tub service may be at the Guest’s expense. In the event that the water is found to be contaminated after departure, the Guest may be responsible for the cost of draining and cleaning the hot tub and/or restoring the pool to usable condition. Use of the hot tub or pool that is considered non-malicious but still results in additional service is covered by damage waiver. Malicious use is not covered. Due to our remote location and difficulty in securing parts in a timely manner, RRVH cannot guarantee the function of a hot tub or pool. No monetary adjustments will be made for any malfunction RRVH did not have the opportunity to resolve, nor for any malfunction due to user error and/or misuse.

TRASH: Guests are responsible for putting their garbage outside in the cans the night before garbage day. Please recycle as much as possible. Guest must put trash and recycling bins out on the street the night before for early pick-up the next morning. If guest fails to put the garbage out, Guest agrees to pay the cost of trash removal.

USE OF PROPERTY: Our vacation rentals are for accommodation only. Commercial use of the property is strictly prohibited unless RRVH has given prior written approval. This includes, but is not limited to, movie production, professional photography shoots, retreats for which the Guest has advertised and been paid by participants, and any activity related to marijuana production. Use of the property for a commercial enterprise (legal or illegal) will result in immediate termination of the booking without refund. Guest will be responsible for all costs associated with bringing the property back to its original condition plus an administration charge of 20% of the restoration costs, or $500, whichever is greater.

FUTURE CONTACT: Guests will automatically remain on our email list after their stay in order to receive our eNewsletter. If you would rather not remain on the list, you may let us know, or unsubscribe via the guest eNewsletter email unsubscribe function. We will not sell or share your contact information with any third parties.

ONSITE MONITORING DEVICES: For the safety and security of guests and the home, some homes have on-site devices such as security cameras and noise monitors. Check the Know Before You Book section of the home’s online description for specific information on any devices located at the home you booked. Any attempt to turn off, damage, disrupt or remove these devices will lead to fines and/or eviction without a refund.

LIABILITY: Guest agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the homeowner, RRVH, and their agents from any loss or personal injury suffered by vacationer or his or her guests or invitees in relation to the rental of the vacation home including, but not limited to, the use of recreation amenities such as hot tubs, pools, trampolines, boats, docks and play structures. Guest shall immediately inform RRVH upon learning of any unsafe or hazardous conditions.

24/7 GUEST EMERGENCY CONTACT: In the event of maintenance emergency or any other matter that cannot wait until our regular business hours, use our emergency phone extension, provided after you reserve. Please note that we do not monitor our Airbnb inbox after-hours so any message left there will not be received until our office reopens.

All rules outlined above and posted on premises must be adhered to by guests and their invitees. Upon request we will mail, e-mail or fax a copy of these rules to you.

OPTIONAL VACATION RENTAL INSURANCE: Vacation Rental Insurance is available for your reservation. Vacation Rental Insurance reimburses for pre-paid, non-refundable expenses due to certain unforeseeable circumstances that may jeopardize your vacation investment and force you to incur unplanned expenses. We strongly recommend you purchase this valuable protection. You may add Vacation Rental Insurance to your trip by contacting us directly.

DATE CHANGES: Guest may opt to change the reservation to different dates within one year of the original arrival date by informing us in writing no later than 2 weeks prior to the original arrival date. If the reservation is moved to dates that fall within a time period that rents at a lower rate, no refunds will be given. All high-season rates, holiday rates and night minimums will apply to any changed dates, and special offers and discounts are only transferable to dates that fall within the valid time frame. A $40 change date fee applies.

SWITCHING HOMES: Reservations are not transferable between homes. If Guest decides to switch the reservation to a different home, the switch is considered a cancellation and the cancellation policy applies. If the original home booked becomes unavailable or uninhabitable, RRVH reserves the right to relocate the Guest to comparable accommodations as determined by RRVH and agreed to by the Guest. Guest agrees that RRVH shall not be held liable for any sequential or secondary damages, including but not limited to relocation or additional travel expenses or for any other loss.

REFUNDS: No refunds will be given for Cancellation or Interruption that occurs due to inclement weather. Nor will refunds be given for any occurrence out of RRVH’ control including, but not limited to, power outages and loss of phone or internet service.

CHECK-IN and CHECK-OUT: Guests failing to abide by check-in and check-out times will be assessed a charge of one night’s rent. Guaranteed paid early check-ins and pre-paid late check outs are possible during our off-season (October 1st to April 30th), depending on availability. Paid early check-ins and late check-outs must be arranged at least 24 hours in advance.

CLEANING:
The cleaning fee covers the cost of a ‘normal’ after-guest cleaning. In the event that the home requires more cleaning than deemed normal, the additional cleaning hours will be charged to guest at the rate of $30.00 per hour. Common reasons for extra cleaning charges: extra trash removal, cleaning food spills, excessive pet hair removal from furnishings, picking up cigarette butts or other trash. Most extra cleaning costs are not covered by the damage waiver.

MID-STAY CLEANING: We require mid-stay cleans for stays longer than 13 nights. The online booking system will not automatically add mid-stay cleans, so we will contact you to add the cleaning to your stay after the reservation is made. Mid-stay cleanings cost between $60 and $90, depending on the size of the home. For stays 13 nights or less, mid-stay cleaning is available upon request, at a rate of $30 per hour. Please contact our office if you would like to add additional cleaning services on to your stay.

MISSING/DAMAGED ITEMS: Items provided with the vacation home must remain at the home at all times. Guests are responsible for the replacement and labor costs for any missing items. Accidental damages up to $3000 are covered by the damage waiver, see details above.

HOME AMENITIES: All homes are privately owned and equipped for basic vacation needs. The homes are furnished at the minimum with sheets, blankets, pillows, bathing towels, basic cooking utensils, and charcoal or propane grills. Supplies included with your stay: bar soap, laundry soap, dish/dishwasher soap, sponge, kitchen garbage bags, basic cleaning supplies, shampoo and conditioner, and toilet paper (1 roll per person the home sleeps) and paper towels (1 full roll per kitchen) are supplied at all homes. See the home’s amenities list for details. There is a local Safeway if you need to purchase additional supplies during your stay. Most homes with a wood burning stove or fireplace do not provide firewood.

PHONE: All of our homes have a landline as cell phone service can be spotty in our area. The phone number and details on the service are provided with the arrival instructions. If the home phone offers local call only, you need a calling card and/or credit card to make long distance calls. If it states unlimited calls in US, the home’s phone has free nationwide long distance.

MAINTENANCE: RRVH routinely inspects homes for maintenance issues and wear and tear. Even so, Guest should inspect the rental property upon arrival and report any pre-existing problems to RRVH within 2 hours of check-in. Maintenance problems in the home will be handled in a timely and professional manner. In no event will we issue a refund for a problem we had no opportunity to resolve. Although each property is completely equipped for rental purposes, we cannot accept responsibility for aesthetic conflicts. When guests are unable to preview vacation home, guests accept such property as described and hold the agency harmless for any discrepancies upon taking occupancy.

PROPERTY MANAGER AND OWNER REPRESNTATIONS ENTERING PROPERTY: Occasionally, the Owner or their designated representative(s), including housekeeper, caretaker, or repair person, may enter the property at any reasonable time for inspections, routine maintenance or repairs with advance notice if possible, to Guest via email, text or phone call. Pest Control, landscape and pool and hot tub, utility and maintenance personnel may enter the grounds of the property at any time, without prior notice. Staff may visit the home to check on safety issues or violations of rental terms and conditions

BBQS: All homes are equipped with either a gas or charcoal BBQ. Guests are responsible for cleaning BBQs after use. Food remnants or excessive grease splattered on the BBQ grill may result in an extra cleaning charge. Guest is responsible for following any specific instructions posted in the home or at the grill. For propane grills, propane is provided. We make every effort to ensure that there is at least one spare full tank at the property prior to guest arrival. Upon arrival, check the tank. If the spare tank is empty, it can be exchanged at our office during business hours or you may have tank filled and exchanged at a different location. You can submit a receipt to our office for reimbursement. Keep the valve on the tank closed and the gas off to the BBQ when the BBQ is not in use. For charcoal grills, charcoal is not provided. The Safeway in Guerneville is open late and is a convenient place to purchase charcoal.

BOATS AND DOCKS: Guest uses all boats, docks and water related amenities at their own risk. Guest will not hold homeowner, RRVH, or any of their agents responsible for loss or injury as a result of their use. If the home you rented comes with boats and/or a dock, the following terms apply: Boats and most docks are only available when the summer dams are in, approximately mid-June through September. Summer dam installation and removal is out of our control and is subject to change. RRVH does not guarantee the availability of boats or docks. If boats are provided and available, guests are responsible for boats during their stay and will keep all boats properly stored and locked when not in use. In the event that a boat goes missing during the course of their stay, Guests will be billed the cost of replacement.

LEFT ITEMS: RRVH is not responsible for any items left behind. Please make sure you remove all personal items before departing. There is a $20 service fee plus shipping charges to retrieve and return items.

SMOKING: Smoking is not allowed in any of our homes. If smoking inside does occur during your stay, RRVH will charge an extra cleaning charge of $500.

HOT TUBS AND POOLS: To see if the home you rented provides either a hot tub or a pool, refer to the home’s web listing. Guest will not hold the homeowner or RRVH responsible for any accidents or medical conditions that may occur from using the hot tub/spa and/or pool.

All hot tubs and pools are routinely and professionally serviced. If the home is equipped with a hot tub and/or pool, the guest is responsible for maintaining it in good condition. Guest requests for extra pool or hot tub service may be at the Guest’s expense. In the event that the water is found to be contaminated after departure, the Guest may be responsible for the cost of draining and cleaning the hot tub and/or restoring the pool to usable condition. Use of the hot tub or pool that is considered non-malicious but still results in additional service is covered by damage waiver. Malicious use is not covered. Due to our remote location and difficulty in securing parts in a timely manner, RRVH cannot guarantee the function of a hot tub or pool. No monetary adjustments will be made for any malfunction RRVH did not have the opportunity to resolve, nor for any malfunction due to user error and/or misuse.

TRASH: Guests are responsible for putting their garbage outside in the cans the night before garbage day. Please recycle as much as possible. Guest must put trash and recycling bins out on the street the night before for early pick-up the next morning. If guest fails to put the garbage out, Guest agrees to pay the cost of trash removal.

USE OF PROPERTY: Our vacation rentals are for accommodation only. Commercial use of the property is strictly prohibited unless RRVH has given prior written approval. This includes, but is not limited to, movie production, professional photography shoots, retreats for which the Guest has advertised and been paid by participants, and any activity related to marijuana production. Use of the property for a commercial enterprise (legal or illegal) will result in immediate termination of the booking without refund. Guest will be responsible for all costs associated with bringing the property back to its original condition plus an administration charge of 20% of the restoration costs, or $500, whichever is greater.

FUTURE CONTACT: Guests will automatically remain on our email list after their stay in order to receive our eNewsletter. If you would rather not remain on the list, you may let us know, or unsubscribe via the guest eNewsletter email unsubscribe function. We will not sell or share your contact information with any third parties.

ONSITE MONITORING DEVICES: For the safety and security of guests and the home, some homes have on-site devices such as security cameras and noise monitors. Check the Know Before You Book section of the home’s online description for specific information on any devices located at the home you booked. Any attempt to turn off, damage, disrupt or remove these devices will lead to fines and/or eviction without a refund.

LIABILITY: Guest agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the homeowner, RRVH, and their agents from any loss or personal injury suffered by vacationer or his or her guests or invitees in relation to the rental of the vacation home including, but not limited to, the use of recreation amenities such as hot tubs, pools, trampolines, boats, docks and play structures. Guest shall immediately inform RRVH upon learning of any unsafe or hazardous conditions.

24/7 GUEST EMERGENCY CONTACT: In the event of maintenance emergency or any other matter that cannot wait until our regular business hours, use our emergency phone extension, provided after you reserve.

Willowhaven is a beautifully crafted redwood home on a generous lot, dotted with fruit trees. An expansive wraparound deck encapsulates seven glorious redwood trees and bends around even more redwoods. With a mixture of shade and bright light, it’s the perfect setting for a romantic getaway or to simply recharge your batteries. In fair weather you can BBQ, dine outside, slumber in the hammock, or stargaze. When it rains, luxuriate in the hot tub or listen to the rain from the cozy interior.

The space
High ceilings and abundant windows make all type of weather lovely at Willowhaven. A redwood “cathedral” surrounds the hot tub and up-lights show off the beauty of our trees.

Inside, the master bedroom features a King-size bed with adjusting frame. Lift or lower the back or foot sections of the bed separately and settle in to watch TV or snuggle while the wood burning stove warms the room. Both full bathrooms are substantial – making this a great home to visit as a couple, with friends, or a small family. The fully stocked kitchen and many places to dine, inside and out, ensure you have room to prepare gourmet meals with local produce and wines.

You’re minutes from the coast, Armstrong Woods State Park, Northwood Golf Course, and the Russian River. Quaint shops, casual and fine dining, and world (and locally) famous wineries are within a short drive.

Cozy Cove is a quintessential Russian River cabin! Less than a block from a fantastic neighborhood beach known as Cozy Cove, the house provides beach chairs, life vests, sand buckets and shovels and an old fashioned red wagon to carry all your toys to and from the house. The basement recreation room has a ping-pong table and more kid's activities! The front porch catches abundant sunlight and includes cozy seating, propane BBQ and dining table.

The space
Inside, the kitchen, dining and living rooms are open for maximum fun while cooking and hanging out. Relaxing beds and ample storage in each bedroom mean you'll be comfortable day and night.

Walk to town! Cozy Cove is just a hair over a mile from Main Street, Guerneville, and all the shops, restaurants, wine tasting rooms and art galleries!

VACATION RENTAL CONTRACT TERMS & CONDITIONS, COMPLETE:
A copy of the below terms and conditions will be emailed to you upon reserving. In the interest of clarity and transparency, here they in full. Thank you for taking the time to read our rules, and please share with additional guests. By making a reservation, you agree to the following:

OCCUPANCY: The maximum overnight occupancy for this home is 7 people. This is the maximum number of people (including children age 3 and up; infants age 2 and under do not count towards occupancy) that are allowed at the property at all times. The maximum occupancy for a vacation rental is mandated by the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance and is strictly enforced. In the event the maximum occupancy is exceeded, RRVH (full business name Russian River Vacation Homes or RRVH for short) reserves the right to charge at least a minimum $500 violation penalty, plus any costs incurred by RRVH and/or the property owner as a result of the ordinance violation, excessive wear and tear to the property, extra cleaning, and damages to the property and/or surrounding properties. In general, two additional day guests are allowed at no extra cost, as long as RRVH has given Guest prior written approval (excludes certain homes). RRVH reserves the right to terminate the reservation immediately without refund if the maximum occupancy is exceeded.
No campers, RV’s, tents, or trailers are allowed on the premises.

AGE REQUIREMENTS: Guests must be 21 years or older to rent or check in to a vacation rental.

PARKING: This home allows a maximum of 4 vehicles. Vehicles must be parked either on the premises or on street parking directly in front of the property. No campers, RV’s, tents, or trailers are allowed on the premises.

NOISE: Per county ordinance, quiet hours are between 10:00pm and 8:00am and no outdoor amplified sound is allowed on the premises at any time. In addition, loud or unruly behavior is restricted by a local ordinance, whether or not the maximum occupancy is exceeded, and may result in citation or arrest by local law enforcement. Neighborhood disturbances caused by Guest and their invitees puts the home’s permit to operate as a vacation rental in jeopardy. Guests who continue to engage in excessively loud and unruly behavior after being asked to stop by either law enforcement or a RRVH representative are also in violation of the ordinance and this agreement, and may be asked to vacate the premises immediately without refund.

PET POLICY: No Pets Allowed. Guest agrees that no pets will be on the property at any time. Guests who bring an animal to a home that does not allow pets will be assessed an additional charge, which may include carpet and furniture cleaning, flea-bombing and damage charges. Failure to promptly remove a pet from a no-pets-allowed home may result in the immediate termination of the reservation, without refund.

DAMAGE WAIVER: There is a non-refundable Damage Waiver fee for all reservations, already included in the rental fee. The damage waiver covers up to $3000.00 of unintentional damages to real or personal property of the rental unit that occurs during the stay. Any damages that exceed $3,000.00 will be charged to the guest directly. The damage waiver does not cover replacement of missing items, additional housekeeping charges, intentional damage or gross negligence, or damages resulting from a violation of the rules outlined in this agreement. To ensure that they are not charged for any damages, Guest is responsible for reporting any accidental damages to RRVH prior to check-out.

PAYMENT OF RENT AND FEES: Payments for the following fees are made through Airbnb: Rental Fee, Cleaning and Linens Fee, 12% Sonoma County Transient Occupancy Tax, Damage Waiver Fee and Airbnb’s Guest Service Fee. RRVH may charge slightly higher rates for bookings made on 3rd party platforms, such as Airbnb, to cover additional costs associated with listing on the platform. Payments for additional services, such as rental items, travel insurance or additional nights will be paid and collected through the Airbnb platform.

OPTIONAL VACATION RENTAL INSURANCE: Vacation Rental Insurance is available for your reservation. Vacation Rental Insurance reimburses for pre-paid, non-refundable expenses due to certain unforeseeable circumstances that may jeopardize your vacation investment and force you to incur unplanned expenses. We strongly recommend you purchase this valuable protection. You may add Vacation Rental Insurance to your trip by contacting us directly.

DATE CHANGES: Guest may opt to change the reservation to different dates within one year of the original arrival date by informing us in writing no later than 2 weeks prior to the original arrival date. If the reservation is moved to dates that fall within a time period that rents at a lower rate, no refunds will be given. All high-season rates, holiday rates and night minimums will apply to any changed dates, and special offers and discounts are only transferable to dates that fall within the valid time frame. A $40 change date fee applies.

SWITCHING HOMES: Reservations are not transferable between homes. If Guest decides to switch the reservation to a different home, the switch is considered a cancellation and the cancellation policy applies. If the original home booked becomes unavailable or uninhabitable, RRVH reserves the right to relocate the Guest to comparable accommodations as determined by RRVH and agreed to by the Guest. Guest agrees that RRVH shall not be held liable for any sequential or secondary damages, including but not limited to relocation or additional travel expenses or for any other loss.

REFUNDS: No refunds will be given for Cancellation or Interruption that occurs due to inclement weather. Nor will refunds be given for any occurrence out of RRVH’ control including, but not limited to, power outages and loss of phone or internet service.

CHECK-IN and CHECK-OUT: Guests failing to abide by check-in and check-out times will be assessed a charge of one night’s rent. Guaranteed paid early check-ins and pre-paid late check outs are possible during our off-season (October 1st to April 30th), depending on availability. Paid early check-ins and late check-outs must be arranged at least 24 hours in advance.

VACATING THE HOME:
-Remove all trash & recycling from home. Place in appropriate outside cans/bins.
-Wash all dishes and leave drying in the dishrack. If the home is equipped with a dishwasher, you may leave the dishwasher running.
-Clean up any messes or spills that may have occurred during your stay.
-Put all furniture and home items back in place.
-Check for any personal items.
-Turn off lights, heaters, and secure the home.
-Return any keys and/or remotes to their starting location.

CLEANING:
The cleaning fee covers the cost of a ‘normal’ after-guest cleaning. In the event that the home requires more cleaning than deemed normal, the additional cleaning hours will be charged to guest at the rate of $30.00 per hour. Common reasons for extra cleaning charges: extra trash removal, cleaning food spills, excessive pet hair removal from furnishings, picking up cigarette butts or other trash. Most extra cleaning costs are not covered by the damage waiver.

MID-STAY CLEANING: We require mid-stay cleans for stays longer than 13 nights. The online booking system will not automatically add mid-stay cleans, so we will contact you to add the cleaning to your stay after the reservation is made. Mid-stay cleanings cost between $60 and $90, depending on the size of the home. For stays 13 nights or less, mid-stay cleaning is available upon request, at a rate of $30 per hour. Please contact our office if you would like to add additional cleaning services on to your stay.

MISSING/DAMAGED ITEMS: Items provided with the vacation home must remain at the home at all times. Guests are responsible for the replacement and labor costs for any missing items. Accidental damages up to $3000 are covered by the damage waiver, see details above.

HOME AMENITIES: All homes are privately owned and equipped for basic vacation needs. The homes are furnished at the minimum with sheets, blankets, pillows, bathing towels, basic cooking utensils, and charcoal or propane grills. Supplies included with your stay: bar soap, laundry soap, dish/dishwasher soap, sponge, kitchen garbage bags, basic cleaning supplies, shampoo and conditioner, and toilet paper (1 roll per person the home sleeps) and paper towels (1 full roll per kitchen) are supplied at all homes. See the home’s amenities list for details. There is a local Safeway if you need to purchase additional supplies during your stay. Most homes with a wood burning stove or fireplace do not provide firewood.

PHONE: All of our homes have a landline as cell phone service can be spotty in our area. The phone number and details on the service are provided with the arrival instructions. If the home phone offers local call only, you need a calling card and/or credit card to make long distance calls. If it states unlimited calls in US, the home’s phone has free nationwide long distance.

MAINTENANCE: RRVH routinely inspects homes for maintenance issues and wear and tear. Even so, Guest should inspect the rental property upon arrival and report any pre-existing problems to RRVH within 2 hours of check-in. Maintenance problems in the home will be handled in a timely and professional manner. In no event will we issue a refund for a problem we had no opportunity to resolve. Although each property is completely equipped for rental purposes, we cannot accept responsibility for aesthetic conflicts. When guests are unable to preview vacation home, guests accept such property as described and hold the agency harmless for any discrepancies upon taking occupancy.

PROPERTY MANAGER AND OWNER REPRESNTATIONS ENTERING PROPERTY: Occasionally, the Owner or their designated representative(s), including housekeeper, caretaker, or repair person, may enter the property at any reasonable time for inspections, routine maintenance or repairs with advance notice if possible, to Guest via email, text or phone call. Pest Control, landscape and pool and hot tub, utility and maintenance personnel may enter the grounds of the property at any time, without prior notice. Staff may visit the home to check on safety issues or violations of rental terms and conditions

BBQS: All homes are equipped with either a gas or charcoal BBQ. Guests are responsible for cleaning BBQs after use. Food remnants or excessive grease splattered on the BBQ grill may result in an extra cleaning charge. Guest is responsible for following any specific instructions posted in the home or at the grill. For propane grills, propane is provided. We make every effort to ensure that there is at least one spare full tank at the property prior to guest arrival. Upon arrival, check the tank. If the spare tank is empty, it can be exchanged at our office during business hours or you may have tank filled and exchanged at a different location. You can submit a receipt to our office for reimbursement. Keep the valve on the tank closed and the gas off to the BBQ when the BBQ is not in use. For charcoal grills, charcoal is not provided. The Safeway in Guerneville is open late and is a convenient place to purchase charcoal.

BOATS AND DOCKS: Guest uses all boats, docks and water related amenities at their own risk. Guest will not hold homeowner, RRVH, or any of their agents responsible for loss or injury as a result of their use. If the home you rented comes with boats and/or a dock, the following terms apply: Boats and most docks are only available when the summer dams are in, approximately mid-June through September. Summer dam installation and removal is out of our control and is subject to change. RRVH does not guarantee the availability of boats or docks. If boats are provided and available, guests are responsible for boats during their stay and will keep all boats properly stored and locked when not in use. In the event that a boat goes missing during the course of their stay, Guests will be billed the cost of replacement.

LEFT ITEMS: RRVH is not responsible for any items left behind. Please make sure you remove all personal items before departing. There is a $20 service fee plus shipping charges to retrieve and return items.

SMOKING: Smoking is not allowed in any of our homes. If smoking inside does occur during your stay, RRVH will charge an extra cleaning charge of $500.

HOT TUBS AND POOLS: To see if the home you rented provides either a hot tub or a pool, refer to the home’s web listing. Guest will not hold the homeowner or RRVH responsible for any accidents or medical conditions that may occur from using the hot tub/spa and/or pool.

All hot tubs and pools are routinely and professionally serviced. If the home is equipped with a hot tub and/or pool, the guest is responsible for maintaining it in good condition. Guest requests for extra pool or hot tub service may be at the Guest’s expense. In the event that the water is found to be contaminated after departure, the Guest may be responsible for the cost of draining and cleaning the hot tub and/or restoring the pool to usable condition. Use of the hot tub or pool that is considered non-malicious but still results in additional service is covered by damage waiver. Malicious use is not covered. Due to our remote location and difficulty in securing parts in a timely manner, RRVH cannot guarantee the function of a hot tub or pool. No monetary adjustments will be made for any malfunction RRVH did not have the opportunity to resolve, nor for any malfunction due to user error and/or misuse.

TRASH: Guests are responsible for putting their garbage outside in the cans the night before garbage day. Please recycle as much as possible. Guest must put trash and recycling bins out on the street the night before for early pick-up the next morning. If guest fails to put the garbage out, Guest agrees to pay the cost of trash removal.

USE OF PROPERTY: Our vacation rentals are for accommodation only. Commercial use of the property is strictly prohibited unless RRVH has given prior written approval. This includes, but is not limited to, movie production, professional photography shoots, retreats for which the Guest has advertised and been paid by participants, and any activity related to marijuana production. Use of the property for a commercial enterprise (legal or illegal) will result in immediate termination of the booking without refund. Guest will be responsible for all costs associated with bringing the property back to its original condition plus an administration charge of 20% of the restoration costs, or $500, whichever is greater.

FUTURE CONTACT: Guests will automatically remain on our email list after their stay in order to receive our eNewsletter. If you would rather not remain on the list, you may let us know, or unsubscribe via the guest eNewsletter email unsubscribe function. We will not sell or share your contact information with any third parties.

ONSITE MONITORING DEVICES: For the safety and security of guests and the home, some homes have on-site devices such as security cameras and noise monitors. Check the Know Before You Book section of the home’s online description for specific information on any devices located at the home you booked. Any attempt to turn off, damage, disrupt or remove these devices will lead to fines and/or eviction without a refund.

LIABILITY: Guest agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the homeowner, RRVH, and their agents from any loss or personal injury suffered by vacationer or his or her guests or invitees in relation to the rental of the vacation home including, but not limited to, the use of recreation amenities such as hot tubs, pools, trampolines, boats, docks and play structures. Guest shall immediately inform RRVH upon learning of any unsafe or hazardous conditions.

24/7 GUEST EMERGENCY CONTACT: In the event of maintenance emergency or any other matter that cannot wait until our regular business hours, use our emergency phone extension, provided after you reserve. Please note that we do not monitor our Airbnb inbox after-hours so any message left there will not be received until our office reopens.

All rules outlined above and posted on premises must be adhered to by guests and their invitees. Upon request we will mail, e-mail or fax a copy of these rules to you.

Come experience it for yourself!

The space
This forest escape is perfect for solo travelers, couples seeking a peaceful redwood getaway, and small groups or families. Sleeps up to four guests.

"This was an amazing place to stay! There are so many things to see (Armstrong Redwoods, Sonoma Coast State Park, Russian River) and you get a good sense of isolation while not being too far from civilization." - Ryan, June 2024

Living Spaces:

With views of the redwoods from every window, the cozy wood-paneled living room is the perfect gathering spot for movie night or just a glass of award-winning local wine and good conversation. This space has a 65-inch flat screen with Roku TV, two comfortable leather futon couches, and two ultra-comfy reclining chairs. You’ll also find an assortment of games here for your enjoyment.

Kitchen & Dining:

Packed with retro styling, the spacious kitchen has everything you need to prepare full meals, including oven, fridge, microwave, and dishwasher, as well as ample cabinet space, cookware, small appliances, and utensils, and an assortment of pantry staples. The classic kitchen table seats four and can play host to delicious dinners, board game night, and whatever else you have planned.

Bedrooms & Baths:

With its coastal decor and calming feel, the bright and airy bedroom ensures you sweet dreams among the redwoods. This space has a comfortable queen-size bed and lots of light. Two more guests can sleep on the futons in the living room. The full bath on this property enjoys lots of light, as well, thanks to its skylight right above the tub/shower. Find an additional half bath just off the living room.

Outdoor Amenities:

Outdoor living among redwoods! The outdoor spaces on this property offer so many possibilities for relaxation. Hang up the hammock and take a siesta on the brand new redwood deck with superb views of the trees. The classic Adirondack chairs here are a wonderful spot for bird watching, wine or coffee-sipping, or just whiling the day away.

In back of the cabin you’ll find the private enclosed patio. Prepare a meal on the propane grill and dine al fresco at the shaded patio set. Rest easy in the reclining sun loungers. Or sit out under the stars and soak in the Sundance hot tub after a day spent hiking, wine tasting, and enjoying everything the Russian River area has to offer. We’ve even provided two spa-quality cotton robes for you to wrap up in afterwards!

Other things to note
No parties or large gatherings. Sonoma County has a noise ordinance for quiet hours between 9pm-7am. No outdoor amplified sound is allowed.

We are a baby-friendly home! We offer a Graco Pack 'n Play crib (on request), sheets, baby gates (on request), burp cloths, outlet covers, toys and books. Our place is not ideal for toddlers or preschoolers due to the high elevation of the property, but it's great for older, mellow kids.

No animals allowed.

You will have the entire place to yourself. No shared spaces.

Unfortunately, this property is not wheelchair accessible. Guests must be able to walk up a steep hill to access the property.

The house is equipped with one exterior security camera for safety reasons only. It is located at the top of the stairs and faces down toward the street. There are no other cameras anywhere on the premises.

A designated parking space is available for your use next to the deck. There is additional street parking available nearby. The property across the street is not mine; parking there means you risk getting towed.

To ensure your comfort, the cabin has been outfitted with a brand new heat pump for climate control.

OPTIONAL VACATION RENTAL INSURANCE: Vacation Rental Insurance is available for your reservation. Vacation Rental Insurance reimburses for pre-paid, non-refundable expenses due to certain unforeseeable circumstances that may jeopardize your vacation investment and force you to incur unplanned expenses. We strongly recommend you purchase this valuable protection. You may add Vacation Rental Insurance to your trip by contacting us directly.

DATE CHANGES: Guest may opt to change the reservation to different dates within one year of the original arrival date by informing us in writing no later than 2 weeks prior to the original arrival date. If the reservation is moved to dates that fall within a time period that rents at a lower rate, no refunds will be given. All high-season rates, holiday rates and night minimums will apply to any changed dates, and special offers and discounts are only transferable to dates that fall within the valid time frame. A $40 change date fee applies.

SWITCHING HOMES: Reservations are not transferable between homes. If Guest decides to switch the reservation to a different home, the switch is considered a cancellation and the cancellation policy applies. If the original home booked becomes unavailable or uninhabitable, RRVH reserves the right to relocate the Guest to comparable accommodations as determined by RRVH and agreed to by the Guest. Guest agrees that RRVH shall not be held liable for any sequential or secondary damages, including but not limited to relocation or additional travel expenses or for any other loss.

REFUNDS: No refunds will be given for Cancellation or Interruption that occurs due to inclement weather. Nor will refunds be given for any occurrence out of RRVH’ control including, but not limited to, power outages and loss of phone or internet service.

CHECK-IN and CHECK-OUT: Guests failing to abide by check-in and check-out times will be assessed a charge of one night’s rent. Guaranteed paid early check-ins and pre-paid late check outs are possible during our off-season (October 1st to April 30th), depending on availability. Paid early check-ins and late check-outs must be arranged at least 24 hours in advance.

VACATING THE HOME:
-Remove all trash & recycling from home. Place in appropriate outside cans/bins.

-Put all furniture and home items back in place.
-Check for any personal items.
-Turn off lights, heaters, and secure the home.
-Return any keys and/or remotes to their starting location.

CLEANING:
The cleaning fee covers the cost of a ‘normal’ after-guest cleaning. In the event that the home requires more cleaning than deemed normal, the additional cleaning hours will be charged to guest at the rate of $30.00 per hour. Common reasons for extra cleaning charges: extra trash removal, cleaning food spills, excessive pet hair removal from furnishings, picking up cigarette butts or other trash. Most extra cleaning costs are not covered by the damage waiver.

MID-STAY CLEANING: We require mid-stay cleans for stays longer than 13 nights. The online booking system will not automatically add mid-stay cleans, so we will contact you to add the cleaning to your stay after the reservation is made. Mid-stay cleanings cost between $60 and $90, depending on the size of the home. For stays 13 nights or less, mid-stay cleaning is available upon request, at a rate of $30 per hour. Please contact our office if you would like to add additional cleaning services on to your stay.

MISSING/DAMAGED ITEMS: Items provided with the vacation home must remain at the home at all times. Guests are responsible for the replacement and labor costs for any missing items. Accidental damages up to $3000 are covered by the damage waiver, see details above.

HOME AMENITIES: All homes are privately owned and equipped for basic vacation needs. The homes are furnished at the minimum with sheets, blankets, pillows, bathing towels, basic cooking utensils, and charcoal or propane grills. Supplies included with your stay: bar soap, laundry soap, dish/dishwasher soap, sponge, kitchen garbage bags, basic cleaning supplies, shampoo and conditioner, and toilet paper (1 roll per person the home sleeps) and paper towels (1 full roll per kitchen) are supplied at all homes. See the home’s amenities list for details. There is a local Safeway if you need to purchase additional supplies during your stay. Most homes with a wood burning stove or fireplace do not provide firewood.

PHONE: All of our homes have a landline as cell phone service can be spotty in our area. The phone number and details on the service are provided with the arrival instructions. If the home phone offers local call only, you need a calling card and/or credit card to make long distance calls. If it states unlimited calls in US, the home’s phone has free nationwide long distance.

MAINTENANCE: RRVH routinely inspects homes for maintenance issues and wear and tear. Even so, Guest should inspect the rental property upon arrival and report any pre-existing problems to RRVH within 2 hours of check-in. Maintenance problems in the home will be handled in a timely and professional manner. In no event will we issue a refund for a problem we had no opportunity to resolve. Although each property is completely equipped for rental purposes, we cannot accept responsibility for aesthetic conflicts. When guests are unable to preview vacation home, guests accept such property as described and hold the agency harmless for any discrepancies upon taking occupancy.

PROPERTY MANAGER AND OWNER REPRESNTATIONS ENTERING PROPERTY: Occasionally, the Owner or their designated representative(s), including housekeeper, caretaker, or repair person, may enter the property at any reasonable time for inspections, routine maintenance or repairs with advance notice, if possible, to Guest via email, text or phone call. Pest Control, landscape and pool and hot tub, utility and maintenance personnel may enter the grounds of the property at any time, without prior notice. Staff may visit the home to check on safety issues or violations of rental terms and conditions

BBQS: All homes are equipped with either a gas or charcoal BBQ. Guests are responsible for cleaning BBQs after use. Food remnants or excessive grease splattered on the BBQ grill may result in an extra cleaning charge. Guest is responsible for following any specific instructions posted in the home or at the grill. For propane grills, propane is provided. We make every effort to ensure that there is at least one spare full tank at the property prior to guest arrival. Upon arrival, check the tank. If the spare tank is empty, it can be exchanged at our office during business hours or you may have tank filled and exchanged at a different location. You can submit a receipt to our office for reimbursement. Keep the valve on the tank closed and the gas off to the BBQ when the BBQ is not in use. For charcoal grills, charcoal is not provided. The Safeway in Guerneville is open late and is a convenient place to purchase charcoal.

BOATS AND DOCKS: Guest uses all boats, docks and water related amenities at their own risk. Guest will not hold homeowner, RRVH, or any of their agents responsible for loss or injury as a result of their use. If the home you rented comes with boats and/or a dock, the following terms apply: Boats and most docks are only available when the summer dams are in, approximately mid-June through September. Summer dam installation and removal is out of our control and is subject to change. RRVH does not guarantee the availability of boats or docks. If boats are provided and available, guests are responsible for boats during their stay and will keep all boats properly stored and locked when not in use. In the event that a boat goes missing during the course of their stay, Guests will be billed the cost of replacement.

LEFT ITEMS: RRVH is not responsible for any items left behind. Please make sure you remove all personal items before departing. There is a $20 service fee plus shipping charges to retrieve and return items.

SMOKING: Smoking is not allowed in any of our homes. If smoking inside does occur during your stay, RRVH will charge an extra cleaning charge of $500.

HOT TUBS AND POOLS: To see if the home you rented provides either a hot tub or a pool, refer to the home’s web listing. Guest will not hold the homeowner or RRVH responsible for any accidents or medical conditions that may occur from using the hot tub/spa and/or pool.

All hot tubs and pools are routinely and professionally serviced. If the home is equipped with a hot tub and/or pool, the guest is responsible for maintaining it in good condition. Guest requests for extra pool or hot tub service may be at the Guest’s expense. In the event that the water is found to be contaminated after departure, the Guest may be responsible for the cost of draining and cleaning the hot tub and/or restoring the pool to usable condition. Use of the hot tub or pool that is considered non-malicious but still results in additional service is covered by damage waiver. Malicious use is not covered. Due to our remote location and difficulty in securing parts in a timely manner, RRVH cannot guarantee the function of a hot tub or pool. No monetary adjustments will be made for any malfunction RRVH did not have the opportunity to resolve, nor for any malfunction due to user error and/or misuse.

TRASH: Guests are responsible for putting their garbage outside in the cans the night before garbage day. Please recycle as much as possible. Guest must put trash and recycling bins out on the street the night before for early pick-up the next morning. If guest fails to put the garbage out, Guest agrees to pay the cost of trash removal.

USE OF PROPERTY: Our vacation rentals are for accommodation only. Commercial use of the property is strictly prohibited unless RRVH has given prior written approval. This includes, but is not limited to, movie production, professional photography shoots, retreats for which the Guest has advertised and been paid by participants, and any activity related to marijuana production. Use of the property for a commercial enterprise (legal or illegal) will result in immediate termination of the booking without refund. Guest will be responsible for all costs associated with bringing the property back to its original condition plus an administration charge of 20% of the restoration costs, or $500, whichever is greater.

ONSITE MONITORING DEVICES: For the safety and security of guests and the home, some homes have on-site devices such as security cameras and noise monitors. Check the Know Before You Book section of the home’s online description for specific information on any devices located at the home you booked. Any attempt to turn off, damage, disrupt or remove these devices will lead to fines and/or eviction without a refund.

LIABILITY: Guest agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the homeowner, RRVH, and their agents from any loss or personal injury suffered by vacationer or his or her guests or invitees in relation to the rental of the vacation home including, but not limited to, the use of recreation amenities such as hot tubs, pools, trampolines, boats, docks and play structures. Guest shall immediately inform RRVH upon learning of any unsafe or hazardous conditions.

24/7 GUEST EMERGENCY CONTACT: In the event of maintenance emergency or any other matter that cannot wait until our regular business hours, use our emergency phone extension, provided after you reserve. Please note that we do not monitor our Airbnb inbox after-hours so any message left there will not be received until our office reopens.

All rules outlined above and posted on premises must be adhered to by guests and their invitees. Upon request we will mail, e-mail or fax a copy of these rules to you.

Vino Nest is located one mile off River Road. This last mile is along a curvy and narrow hillside road. The road is paved but bumpy and steep in spots, especially just before pulling into our parking space.

**Parking is not easy in our neighborhood, as the spaces are scarce, small, and right along the narrow, steep roads. Fortunately, we do have one designated parking spot right out front. Pulling in and out of this space may be tricky your very first time, and is much easier with a 4-wheel drive.

Additional street parking is scarce, so plan to carpool. RVs, trailers and campers are prohibited, per the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance. There are more parking spaces just down the hill near the mailboxes.

You will have full and private access of the entire property during your stay. The front door has keyless entry to ensure seamless access.

Other things to note
Vino Nest is a dog-friendly cabin. You're welcome to bring up to two well-behaved, house-trained dogs along, but please let us know when booking if your pet(s) will be joining you.

So that we can continue welcoming dogs to the house, we ask that you please wipe their paws before entering, keep them off furniture, pick up after them, and do not leave them at the house unattended.

Excess barking is a violation of the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance, so if you know your dog to be a barker, please make other arrangements for them.

As part of your reservation, you’ll be asked to sign a standard liability waiver covering use of the hot tub and any recreational amenities. This ensures all guests understand and accept the safety guidelines and risks involved. Please be sure to complete this before your arrival so we can confirm your reservation.

Come stay at the historic Mt. Jackson Schoolhouse! This school turned cozy cabin, built in 1883 for miners' children, is five minutes from downtown Guerneville and the Russian River – but also offers privacy and tranquility for those seeking a timeless getaway near Sonoma County's many celebrated attractions.

The space
The Schoolhouse is the quintessential cozy cabin in the woods: a covered porch with rocking chairs, a cedar-paneled living room with a stone fireplace, and a cozy loft bedroom with a double bed. There is also a small ground level bedroom with a trundle bed which can be set up three different ways: one twin bed with the other stowed beneath, two twin beds side by side, or both together as one king bed. (Please let me know how you would like this bed set up to meet your party’s needs!) The bathroom has a sink, toilet, and shower/tub. The kitchen is well furnished with a full sized fridge and freezer, a gas stove and oven, sink, and all the dishes and utensils you're likely to need. The living room enjoys a comfortable leather sectional and a stone fireplace for our rainy months.

Number of guests: while our Airbnb is listed for 4 guests (two in the double bed upstairs plus two in the tiny second bedroom, which has a twin bed with a trundle bed underneath), Sonoma County permits us to host up to 6 overnight guests (not counting children under age 3). So if your party includes adults or older kids who are happy to sleep on a couch, camping pad, or wherever, a couple more is still a possibility! Just let us know and we'll put out extra blankets, towels, and so on. The leather sectional couch is quite comfortable. Also, up to 12 total guests (not counting children under age 3) are permitted during the daytime, so you can have some extra friends or family come meet here during your stay – we (and County regulations) simply ask that you keep your gatherings calm and quiet and be sure nobody parks in the road.

Washer and dryer: while listed in the low-on-detail "amenities" section, please note the laundry facilities available to you are not in fact at the Schoolhouse, but next door in a lean-to behind our house. Just give us a heads up if you'd like to do laundry, so we can get our own laundry out of the way and show you over. We love to travel too and know what a difference it can make to wash a load or two right where you're staying!

Guest access
Between the long gravel driveway and the gravel pad alongside the road, there is room for three cars easily, and more if some are parked behind others. Our little one lane road is fairly quiet most of the time, nice for walking if you keep your wits about you and listen for the cars coming - and it's fairly level between here and Guerneville, good for a bike ride or a long walk (slightly over 3 miles/5 km).

Other things to note
Your hosts, Brendan and Imogen, live in the yellow house right next door, another one of the last remaining buildings from the little 19th century mining town of Mercury. Imogen's parents bought the Schoolhouse in 2021, after 25 years owned by another couple who lovingly restored it, and visit on many weekends. We are far enough that you'll have privacy, but close enough that we're here for anything you might need! We enjoy the land here with our two dogs (Holly is friendly, while little Sigrid doesn’t like strangers but is harmless if left alone) and our little flock of chickens, ducks, and geese. (You can ask about buying eggs!) We love sharing the beauty of this place with visitors and are always available to answer your questions about local nature and things to do around the Russian River and Sonoma County.

Strike the perfect balance between fun and relaxation at End of the Glen, the last house on the lane.

Unwind on the expansive deck, enjoy your meal at the indoor or outdoor dining table, take our beach gear out to the Russian River, play board games, foosball, or cozy up to watch a movie in bed all in one stay at our lovingly cared for home.

We are a short drive away from Guerneville River Park, Johnson's Beach, Pee Wee's Mini Golf, Armstrong Redwoods, Guerneville's main street, and much more.

The space
There is one hardwired Level 2 ChargePoint Home Flex Electric Vehicle Charging Station (EVCS) with a J1772 vehicle connection at our cabin.

The upstairs has two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a kitchen, and dining area. The main bedroom has a queen bed, closet, Roku television, ceiling fan, mini-split, and its own deck. The second bedroom has a queen bed, closet, mini-split and Roku television. The bathroom has a glass shower. The kitchen has a gas stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, and coffee bar. The dining area next to the kitchen seats 6 people, has a mini-split, and a reading nook with two chairs and a side table.

The downstairs has a queen-sized futon disguised as a day bed, Roku television, desk, half bathroom, foosball table, board games, a record player, and ducted heating + air conditioning. The washer, dryer, and water heater are in the down stairs living area behind a curtain.

The outdoor deck has a hammock with spreader bars, a dining table that seats 6, 2 sun loungers, an egg chair, a futon, two chairs, and a swinging chair.

Guest access
We can accommodate a maximum of two vehicles at the property. There is no street parking on our tiny canyon road, so please carpool. You will check yourself in with our smart lock using a unique code for your reservation that Airbnb shares in your "Booking Details". It is only available during the reservation window and it will not work before or after.

Other things to note
The hot and cold water at our 70+ year old cottage in the unincorporated town of Guerneville has a metallic/sulfuric smell, taste, and texture. This may be observed when using water to shower, wash, rinse, or clean. To lessen it's impact, we have a three stage whole home filtration system, a two stage filter underneath the kitchen sink, and a filter at the refrigerator dispensing water; nonetheless, the taste and smell is still present.

You are likely to see mosquitos, squirrels, spiders, spider webs, birds, bugs, and other critters inside and outside the cabin at any point during your stay. We do not spray pesticides as each organism plays a part of the ecosystem which we respect.

The outdoor furniture may be covered to protect it from bird droppings, falling branches, pine needles, and leaves, which will likely appear on the hardwood deck's surface during your stay. You will have brooms, a web buster, and a leaf blower available for complimentary use. Cleaned objects and surfaces may have hard water stains. To avoid injury on the deck as wood cracks and nails rise (especially in our humidity), please wear shoes at all times.

We recommend coming prepared to deal with mosquitos, as they are a year-round nuisance in Sonoma County, especially as close to the water as we are. Consider wearing long sleeves and bringing repellant.

My sunny '70s, Sea Ranch style, 2 bedroom cabin with exposed redwood cathedral beam ceilings has amazing canyon and redwood tree views. There's a hot tub, too. It's in a very special neighborhood with really nice people. And it's close to some of the best wineries in the Russian River Valley.

The space
Vacation Rental Permit # ZPE16-000, Transient Occupancy Certificate #2650N.

My house was part of a special group of homes designed and built by a gay couple in the late '70s during the renaissance of the Russian River. Their thought and details are seen everywhere in the house. Even though it's not a big home, it's designed to maximize space. Exposed redwood cathedral ceilings are in the living room and one of the bedrooms. There are 2 bedrooms in the main house. A very large lower deck contains a hot tub, outdoor shower, and a small cabin that has a bed which is included in the rental. Please note this bedroom has a small sink, and is down a set of stairs from the main house's bathroom. Truly a special getaway the owner has decided to let others enjoy. Also, please read other booking policies such as not bringing children or pets.

Guest access
Guests will have access to the whole property including the lower cabin, hot tub, and outdoor shower. Outdoor shower and running outside water may be off in the winter due to freezing pipes. Please note that lower cabin does not have a bathroom and uses a space heater in the winter. The main house has central HVAC system.

Other things to note
It's a one mile walk to the river- head out on the 116 for a short walk to Odd Fellows Road and hang a right. There's a cool bridge and beach area. Continue across the bridge in the summer and you'll get to Korbel. At the house AT&T has the best mobile reception. There is a landline there if needed.

Payments for additional services, such as rental items, travel insurance or additional nights will be paid and collected through the Airbnb platform.

OPTIONAL VACATION RENTAL INSURANCE: Vacation Rental Insurance is available for your reservation. Vacation Rental Insurance reimburses for pre-paid, non-refundable expenses due to certain unforeseeable circumstances that may jeopardize your vacation investment and force you to incur unplanned expenses. We strongly recommend you purchase this valuable protection. You may add Vacation Rental Insurance to your trip by contacting us directly.

DATE CHANGES: Guest may opt to change the reservation to different dates within one year of the original arrival date by informing us in writing no later than 2 weeks prior to the original arrival date. If the reservation is moved to dates that fall within a time period that rents at a lower rate, no refunds will be given. All high-season rates, holiday rates and night minimums will apply to any changed dates, and special offers and discounts are only transferable to dates that fall within the valid time frame. A $40 change date fee applies.

SWITCHING HOMES: Reservations are not transferable between homes. If Guest decides to switch the reservation to a different home, the switch is considered a cancellation and the cancellation policy applies. If the original home booked becomes unavailable or uninhabitable, RRVH reserves the right to relocate the Guest to comparable accommodations as determined by RRVH and agreed to by the Guest. Guest agrees that RRVH shall not be held liable for any sequential or secondary damages, including but not limited to relocation or additional travel expenses or for any other loss.

REFUNDS: No refunds will be given for Cancellation or Interruption that occurs due to inclement weather. Nor will refunds be given for any occurrence out of RRVH’ control including, but not limited to, power outages and loss of phone or internet service.

Guaranteed paid early check-ins and pre-paid late check outs are possible during our off-season (October 1st to April 30th), depending on availability. Paid early check-ins and late check-outs must be arranged at least 24 hours in advance.

-Put all furniture and home items back in place.
-Check for any personal items.
-Turn off lights, heaters, and secure the home.

CLEANING:
The cleaning fee covers the cost of a ‘normal’ after-guest cleaning. In the event that the home requires more cleaning than deemed normal, the additional cleaning hours will be charged to guest at the rate of $30.00 per hour. Common reasons for extra cleaning charges: extra trash removal, cleaning food spills, excessive pet hair removal from furnishings, picking up cigarette butts or other trash. Most extra cleaning costs are not covered by the damage waiver.

MID-STAY CLEANING: We require mid-stay cleans for stays longer than 13 nights. The online booking system will not automatically add mid-stay cleans, so we will contact you to add the cleaning to your stay after the reservation is made. Mid-stay cleanings cost between $60 and $90, depending on the size of the home. For stays 13 nights or less, mid-stay cleaning is available upon request, at a rate of $30 per hour. Please contact our office if you would like to add additional cleaning services on to your stay.

MISSING/DAMAGED ITEMS: Items provided with the vacation home must remain at the home at all times. Guests are responsible for the replacement and labor costs for any missing items. Accidental damages up to $3000 are covered by the damage waiver, see details above.

HOME AMENITIES: All homes are privately owned and equipped for basic vacation needs. The homes are furnished at the minimum with sheets, blankets, pillows, bathing towels, basic cooking utensils, and charcoal or propane grills. Supplies included with your stay: bar soap, laundry soap, dish/dishwasher soap, sponge, kitchen garbage bags, basic cleaning supplies, shampoo and conditioner, and toilet paper (1 roll per person the home sleeps) and paper towels (1 full roll per kitchen) are supplied at all homes. See the home’s amenities list for details. There is a local Safeway if you need to purchase additional supplies during your stay. Most homes with a wood burning stove or fireplace do not provide firewood.

PHONE: All of our homes have a landline as cell phone service can be spotty in our area. The phone number and details on the service are provided with the arrival instructions. If the home phone offers local call only, you need a calling card and/or credit card to make long distance calls. If it states unlimited calls in US, the home’s phone has free nationwide long distance.

MAINTENANCE: RRVH routinely inspects homes for maintenance issues and wear and tear. Even so, Guest should inspect the rental property upon arrival and report any pre-existing problems to RRVH within 2 hours of check-in. Maintenance problems in the home will be handled in a timely and professional manner. In no event will we issue a refund for a problem we had no opportunity to resolve. Although each property is completely equipped for rental purposes, we cannot accept responsibility for aesthetic conflicts. When guests are unable to preview vacation home, guests accept such property as described and hold the agency harmless for any discrepancies upon taking occupancy.

PROPERTY MANAGER AND OWNER REPRESNTATIONS ENTERING PROPERTY: Occasionally, the Owner or their designated representative(s), including housekeeper, caretaker, or repair person, may enter the property at any reasonable time for inspections, routine maintenance or repairs with advance notice if possible, to Guest via email, text or phone call. Pest Control, landscape and pool and hot tub, utility and maintenance personnel may enter the grounds of the property at any time, without prior notice. Staff may visit the home to check on safety issues or violations of rental terms and conditions

BBQS: All homes are equipped with either a gas or charcoal BBQ. Guests are responsible for cleaning BBQs after use. Food remnants or excessive grease splattered on the BBQ grill may result in an extra cleaning charge. Guest is responsible for following any specific instructions posted in the home or at the grill. For propane grills, propane is provided. We make every effort to ensure that there is at least one spare full tank at the property prior to guest arrival. Upon arrival, check the tank. If the spare tank is empty, it can be exchanged at our office during business hours or you may have tank filled and exchanged at a different location. You can submit a receipt to our office for reimbursement. Keep the valve on the tank closed and the gas off to the BBQ when the BBQ is not in use. For charcoal grills, charcoal is not provided. The Safeway in Guerneville is open late and is a convenient place to purchase charcoal.

BOATS AND DOCKS: Guest uses all boats, docks and water related amenities at their own risk. Guest will not hold homeowner, RRVH, or any of their agents responsible for loss or injury as a result of their use. If the home you rented comes with boats and/or a dock, the following terms apply: Boats and most docks are only available when the summer dams are in, approximately mid-June through September. Summer dam installation and removal is out of our control and is subject to change. RRVH does not guarantee the availability of boats or docks. If boats are provided and available, guests are responsible for boats during their stay and will keep all boats properly stored and locked when not in use. In the event that a boat goes missing during the course of their stay, Guests will be billed the cost of replacement.

LEFT ITEMS: RRVH is not responsible for any items left behind. Please make sure you remove all personal items before departing. There is a $20 service fee plus shipping charges to retrieve and return items.

SMOKING: Smoking is not allowed in any of our homes. If smoking inside does occur during your stay, RRVH will charge an extra cleaning charge of $500.

HOT TUBS AND POOLS: To see if the home you rented provides either a hot tub or a pool, refer to the home’s web listing. Guest will not hold the homeowner or RRVH responsible for any accidents or medical conditions that may occur from using the hot tub/spa and/or pool.

All hot tubs and pools are routinely and professionally serviced. If the home is equipped with a hot tub and/or pool, the guest is responsible for maintaining it in good condition. Guest requests for extra pool or hot tub service may be at the Guest’s expense. In the event that the water is found to be contaminated after departure, the Guest may be responsible for the cost of draining and cleaning the hot tub and/or restoring the pool to usable condition. Use of the hot tub or pool that is considered non-malicious but still results in additional service is covered by damage waiver. Malicious use is not covered. Due to our remote location and difficulty in securing parts in a timely manner, RRVH cannot guarantee the function of a hot tub or pool. No monetary adjustments will be made for any malfunction RRVH did not have the opportunity to resolve, nor for any malfunction due to user error and/or misuse.

TRASH: Guests are responsible for putting their garbage outside in the cans the night before garbage day. Please recycle as much as possible. Guest must put trash and recycling bins out on the street the night before for early pick-up the next morning. If guest fails to put the garbage out, Guest agrees to pay the cost of trash removal.

USE OF PROPERTY: Our vacation rentals are for accommodation only. Commercial use of the property is strictly prohibited unless RRVH has given prior written approval. This includes, but is not limited to, movie production, professional photography shoots, retreats for which the Guest has advertised and been paid by participants, and any activity related to marijuana production. Use of the property for a commercial enterprise (legal or illegal) will result in immediate termination of the booking without refund. Guest will be responsible for all costs associated with bringing the property back to its original condition plus an administration charge of 20% of the restoration costs, or $500, whichever is greater.

FUTURE CONTACT: Guests will automatically remain on our email list after their stay in order to receive our eNewsletter. If you would rather not remain on the list, you may let us know, or unsubscribe via the guest eNewsletter email unsubscribe function. We will not sell or share your contact information with any third parties.

ONSITE MONITORING DEVICES: For the safety and security of guests and the home, some homes have on-site devices such as security cameras and noise monitors. Check the Know Before You Book section of the home’s online description for specific information on any devices located at the home you booked. Any attempt to turn off, damage, disrupt or remove these devices will lead to fines and/or eviction without a refund.

LIABILITY: Guest agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the homeowner, RRVH, and their agents from any loss or personal injury suffered by vacationer or his or her guests or invitees in relation to the rental of the vacation home including, but not limited to, the use of recreation amenities such as hot tubs, pools, trampolines, boats, docks and play structures. Guest shall immediately inform RRVH upon learning of any unsafe or hazardous conditions.

24/7 GUEST EMERGENCY CONTACT: In the event of maintenance emergency or any other matter that cannot wait until our regular business hours, use our emergency phone extension, provided after you reserve. Please note that we do not monitor our Airbnb inbox after-hours so any message left there will not be received until our office reopens.

Enjoy a comfortable cabin in the trees. This renovated 2 bedroom plus loft sleeps up to six people. The loft does have low ceilings and a glass door, so it’s not a private room. Direct access to the river/beach out the back door. Whip up a gourmet meal in the chef’s kitchen, BBQ on the deck, or head downtown for some local fare. This light and airy space will help you relax and reconnect.

The space
The cottage is only 1 1/2 hours north of San Francisco. Located close to downtown Guerneville, yet nestled quietly in nature, The Summer Palace offers the best of both worlds; serenity away from the city and/or endless outdoor activities.

For those looking for the perfect location for your next "flex-cation," The Summer Palace is perfectly equipped for you with fast and reliable WiFi.

Electric vehicle charging available on site.

Toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, pots, pans, dishes, bowls, glassware, cooking utensils, knives, cutting boards, silverware, toaster, and coffee maker (drip and Nespresso) are provided. Please bring your own coffee, creamer, sugar, food items, body soap, shampoo, and conditioner, as everyone has their own preference, and they are not provided. Also, there is a Safeway about a mile away for all your shopping needs.

There are two bedrooms, with Sleep Number queen beds. There is also a bonus loft room that has a queen bed at the top of the spiral stairs (glass door).

There’s a total of 2 rooms w/ beds...
1- Queen
1- Queen
Bonus loft room - 1 Queen
Please use caution when using the spiral staircase and loft, there is very low clearance (but surprisingly my 6’5” teenager uses that room when we go out there).

Maximum occupancy is six guests. It may be tempting to invite more guests than allowed under the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance. Don't do it! Complaints to the office and/or county will result in fines and the termination of your stay (with no refunds).

Activities Nearby:
Burks Canoe (less than 10 miles upriver) offers a pleasant day/afternoon of canoeing/kayaking down the beautiful Russian River. (Even a public bus ride 10 minutes gets you there). Nearby Johnson’s beach also offers canoe/kayak rentals.

There are 40-50 Sonoma Wineries all within 2-3 miles of the The Summer Palace.

Downtown Guerneville, with restaurants, bars, and grocery store, are less than a mile away.

Big Bertha's is equally equipped to accommodate families, groups of friends, couples, lovers, food lovers, wine lovers, writers, philosophers, morning people, evening people, middle-of-the-day people and, well, pretty much anyone!

Upstairs - The recently remodeled kitchen features stainless steel appliances, attractive cabinetry, and opens the dining area. The bar counter transitions smoothly to the dining area, where the dining table comfortably seats 8. Don’t miss the coffee station! A sliding door leads to the deck with a gas BBQ, picnic table, and (seasonal) folding Adirondack chairs. An open doorway from the dining area leads to the living room with extra features like a chess table and writing desk. A short hallway, accessible from both the living room and the kitchen, leads to two bedrooms (one with a queen bed and one with two twins) and a full bathroom (shower over tub).

Downstairs - A spiral staircase connects the upstairs living room and downstairs “suite.” Featuring a game room, with a double futon for additional sleeping space, smart TV with Netflix (no cable), a Foosball table, and a small master suite with a queen bed, and a small, yet full, bathroom with a shower. Sliding doors lead to a small lower deck with two (seasonal) Adirondack chairs - a great spot for a morning cuppa!

Outdoors - The main outdoor living areas are on the same level as the upper story of the house. In addition to the deck with gas BBQ, outdoor gas fireplace, and al fresco dining, there is a side yard with a bocce ball court and a back patio with a hot tub and outdoor shower.

Big Bertha's is named for the original owner, Bertha. She and her husband built the house in 1952. When walking though the hallway, notice the artwork, which are framed pieces of the original flooring found during the remodel.

You can submit a receipt to our office for reimbursement. Keep the valve on the tank closed and the gas off to the BBQ when the BBQ is not in use. For charcoal grills, charcoal is not provided. The Safeway in Guerneville is open late and is a convenient place to purchase charcoal.

All hot tubs and pools are routinely and professionally serviced. If the home is equipped with a hot tub and/or pool, the guest is responsible for maintaining it in good condition. Guest requests for extra pool or hot tub service may be at the Guest’s expense. In the event that the water is found to be contaminated after departure, the Guest may be responsible for the cost of draining and cleaning the hot tub and/or restoring the pool to usable condition. Use of the hot tub or pool that is considered non-malicious but still results in additional service is covered by damage waiver. Malicious use is not covered. Due to our remote location and difficulty in securing parts in a timely manner, RRVH cannot guarantee the function of a hot tub or pool. No monetary adjustments will be made for any malfunction RRVH did not have the opportunity to resolve, nor for any malfunction due to user error and/or misuse.

TRASH: Guests are responsible for putting their garbage outside in the cans the night before garbage day. Please recycle as much as possible.

**Boats and Dock are ready for the 2025 Summer Season as of 5/10!** Riverdale is a charming riverfront property on a quiet, sunny street in Monte Rio. With a large backyard in which to relax and seasonal canoe and kayaks for fun on the river, it's a fabulous place for couples, families, and friends.

The space
The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need, including an espresso maker. Other essentials like a blender, cocktail shaker, and wine glasses and accessories pair well with farmer’s market finds for truly fantastic wine county meals. Bedrooms and living spaces are split between the two levels of the home with the kitchen, living room, two bedrooms and a full bathroom upstairs and two bedrooms, den, and a full bathroom downstairs.

You’ll LOVE the outdoor spaces! The back deck runs the length of the house and boasts a propane BBQ, outdoor seating and dining areas, and views of the river and yard. The hot tub and sometimes shaded, sometimes sunny patio, sit below the deck and face the backyard - lush with plantings and expansive lawn - stretching to meet the river via a terraced overlook and stairway to the private dock. The sizable dock is tucked into the canopy on the edge of the river with built-in benches - a great place to watch the river flow.

After a restful snooze, explore the nearby hamlets of Duncan’s Mills and Occidental – each a short drive and teeming with unique shops and restaurants – or head to the coast, the many local vineyards, hike or zipline in the redwoods, or find your own adventure.

VACATION RENTAL CONTRACT TERMS & CONDITIONS, COMPLETE:
A copy of the below terms and conditions will be emailed to you upon reserving. In the interest of clarity and transparency, here they in full. Thank you for taking the time to read our rules, and please share with additional guests. By making a reservation, you agree to the following:

OCCUPANCY: The maximum overnight occupancy for this home is 8. This is the maximum number of people (including children age 3 and up; infants age 2 and under do not count towards occupancy) that are allowed at the property at all times. The maximum occupancy for a vacation rental is mandated by the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance and is strictly enforced. In the event the maximum occupancy is exceeded, RRVH (full business name Russian River Vacation Homes or RRVH for short) reserves the right to charge at least a minimum $500 violation penalty, plus any costs incurred by RRVH and/or the property owner as a result of the ordinance violation, excessive wear and tear to the property, extra cleaning, and damages to the property and/or surrounding properties. In general, two additional day guests are allowed at no extra cost, as long as RRVH has given Guest prior written approval (excludes certain homes). RRVH reserves the right to terminate the reservation immediately without refund if the maximum occupancy is exceeded.
No campers, RV’s, tents, or trailers are allowed on the premises.

AGE REQUIREMENTS: Guests must be 21 years or older to rent or check in to a vacation rental.

NOISE: Per county ordinance, quiet hours are between 10:00pm and 8:00am and no outdoor amplified sound is allowed on the premises at any time. In addition, loud or unruly behavior is restricted by a local ordinance, whether or not the maximum occupancy is exceeded, and may result in citation or arrest by local law enforcement. Neighborhood disturbances caused by Guest and their invitees puts the home’s permit to operate as a vacation rental in jeopardy. Guests who continue to engage in excessively loud and unruly behavior after being asked to stop by either law enforcement or a RRVH representative are also in violation of the ordinance and this agreement, and may be asked to vacate the premises immediately without refund.

PET POLICY: Dogs Allowed. Guest must notify RRVH prior to check-in if they are bringing a dog or dogs, including breed(s) and size(s). Guest agrees that the RRVH and the owner of the property are not liable for their dog. If there is excessive dog hair, dirt and/or sand tracked into the rental, or other needed clean-up, guests will be assessed an additional clean-up fee. Guest will report any pet “accidents” or damage to RRVH prior to departure. Guest is responsible for the cost of any pet-related clean-up and/or damages.
Guests and their dogs must follow the below rules:
a) Dogs are not allowed on furniture or beds
b) Uncrated dogs will not be left unattended at the house
c) Guest must clean up after their dog, both on and off the premises, and responsibly dispose of dog waste.

f) No excessive barking. Guest is aware that excessive barking at a vacation rental is a violation of county ordinance.

DAMAGE WAIVER: There is a non-refundable Damage Waiver fee for all reservations, already included in the rental fee. The damage waiver covers up to $3000.00 of unintentional damages to real or personal property of the rental unit that occurs during the stay. Any damages that exceed $3,000.00 will be charged to the guest directly. The damage waiver does not cover replacement of missing items, additional housekeeping charges, intentional damage or gross negligence, or damages resulting from a violation of the rules outlined in this agreement. To ensure that they are not charged for any damages, Guest is responsible for reporting any accidental damages to RRVH prior to check-out.

PAYMENT OF RENT AND FEES: Payments for the following fees are made through Airbnb: Rental Fee, Cleaning and Linens Fee, 12% Sonoma County Transient Occupancy Tax, Damage Waiver Fee and Airbnb’s Guest Service Fee. RRVH may charge slightly higher rates for bookings made on 3rd party platforms, such as Airbnb, to cover additional costs associated with listing on the platform. Payments for additional services, such as rental items, travel insurance or additional nights will be paid and collected through the Airbnb platform.

OPTIONAL VACATION RENTAL INSURANCE: Vacation Rental Insurance is available for your reservation. Vacation Rental Insurance reimburses for pre-paid, non-refundable expenses due to certain unforeseeable circumstances that may jeopardize your vacation investment and force you to incur unplanned expenses. We strongly recommend you purchase this valuable protection. You may add Vacation Rental Insurance to your trip by contacting us directly.

DATE CHANGES: Guest may opt to change the reservation to different dates within one year of the original arrival date by informing us in writing no later than 2 weeks prior to the original arrival date. If the reservation is moved to dates that fall within a time period that rents at a lower rate, no refunds will be given. All high-season rates, holiday rates and night minimums will apply to any changed dates, and special offers and discounts are only transferable to dates that fall within the valid time frame. A $40 change date fee applies.

SWITCHING HOMES: Reservations are not transferable between homes. If Guest decides to switch the reservation to a different home, the switch is considered a cancellation and the cancellation policy applies. If the original home booked becomes unavailable or uninhabitable, RRVH reserves the right to relocate the Guest to comparable accommodations as determined by RRVH and agreed to by the Guest. Guest agrees that RRVH shall not be held liable for any sequential or secondary damages, including but not limited to relocation or additional travel expenses or for any other loss.

REFUNDS: No refunds will be given for Cancellation or Interruption that occurs due to inclement weather. Nor will refunds be given for any occurrence out of RRVH’ control including, but not limited to, power outages and loss of phone or internet service.

CHECK-IN and CHECK-OUT: Guests failing to abide by check-in and check-out times will be assessed a charge of one night’s rent. Guaranteed paid early check-ins and pre-paid late check outs are possible during our off-season (October 1st to April 30th), depending on availability.

Common reasons for extra cleaning charges: extra trash removal, cleaning food spills, excessive pet hair removal from furnishings, picking up cigarette butts or other trash. Most extra cleaning costs are not covered by the damage waiver.

MID-STAY CLEANING: We require mid-stay cleans for stays longer than 13 nights. The online booking system will not automatically add mid-stay cleans, so we will contact you to add the cleaning to your stay after the reservation is made. Mid-stay cleanings cost between $60 and $90, depending on the size of the home. For stays 13 nights or less, mid-stay cleaning is available upon request, at a rate of $30 per hour. Please contact our office if you would like to add additional cleaning services on to your stay.

HOME AMENITIES: All homes are privately owned and equipped for basic vacation needs.

Supplies included with your stay: bar soap, laundry soap, dish/dishwasher soap, sponge, kitchen garbage bags, basic cleaning supplies, shampoo and conditioner, and toilet paper (1 roll per person the home sleeps) and paper towels (1 full roll per kitchen) are supplied at all homes. See the home’s amenities list for details. There is a local Safeway if you need to purchase additional supplies during your stay. Most homes with a wood burning stove or fireplace do not provide firewood.

PHONE: All of our homes have a landline as cell phone service can be spotty in our area. The phone number and details on the service are provided with the arrival instructions. If the home phone offers local call only, you need a calling card and/or credit card to make long distance calls. If it states unlimited calls in US, the home’s phone has free nationwide long distance.

MAINTENANCE: RRVH routinely inspects homes for maintenance issues and wear and tear. Even so, Guest should inspect the rental property upon arrival and report any pre-existing problems to RRVH within 2 hours of check-in. Maintenance problems in the home will be handled in a timely and professional manner. In no event will we issue a refund for a problem we had no opportunity to resolve. Although each property is completely equipped for rental purposes, we cannot accept responsibility for aesthetic conflicts. When guests are unable to preview vacation home, guests accept such property as described and hold the agency harmless for any discrepancies upon taking occupancy.

Staff may visit the home to check on safety issues or violations of rental terms and conditions

In the event the maximum occupancy is exceeded, RRVH (full business name Russian River Vacation Homes or RRVH for short) reserves the right to charge at least a minimum $500 violation penalty, plus any costs incurred by RRVH and/or the property owner as a result of the ordinance violation, excessive wear and tear to the property, extra cleaning, and damages to the property and/or surrounding properties. In general, two additional day guests are allowed at no extra cost, as long as RRVH has given Guest prior written approval (excludes certain homes). RRVH reserves the right to terminate the reservation immediately without refund if the maximum occupancy is exceeded.
No campers, RV’s, tents, or trailers are allowed on the premises.

Neighborhood disturbances caused by Guest and their invitees puts the home’s permit to operate as a vacation rental in jeopardy. Guests who continue to engage in excessively loud and unruly behavior after being asked to stop by either law enforcement or a RRVH representative are also in violation of the ordinance and this agreement, and may be asked to vacate the premises immediately without refund.

PET POLICY: Dogs Allowed. Guest must notify RRVH prior to check-in if they are bringing a dog or dogs, including breed(s) and size(s). Guest agrees that the RRVH and the owner of the property are not liable for their dog. If there is excessive dog hair, dirt and/or sand tracked into the rental, or other needed clean-up, guests will be assessed an additional clean-up fee. Guest will report any pet “accidents” or damage to RRVH prior to departure. Guest is responsible for the cost of any pet-related clean-up and/or damages.

DAMAGE WAIVER: There is a non-refundable Damage Waiver fee for all reservations, already included in the rental fee. The damage waiver covers up to $3000.00 of unintentional damages to real or personal property of the rental unit that occurs during the stay. Any damages that exceed $3,000.00 will be charged to the guest directly. The damage waiver does not cover replacement of missing items, additional housekeeping charges, intentional damage or gross negligence, or damages resulting from a violation of the rules outlined in this agreement. To ensure that they are not charged for any damages, Guest is responsible for reporting any accidental damages to RRVH prior to check-out.

PAYMENT OF RENT AND FEES: Payments for the following fees are made through Airbnb: Rental Fee, Cleaning and Linens Fee, 12% Sonoma County Transient Occupancy Tax, Damage Waiver Fee and Airbnb’s Guest Service Fee. RRVH may charge slightly higher rates for bookings made on 3rd party platforms, such as Airbnb, to cover additional costs associated with listing on the platform. Payments for additional services, such as rental items, travel insurance or additional nights will be paid and collected through the Airbnb platform.

OPTIONAL VACATION RENTAL INSURANCE: Vacation Rental Insurance is available for your reservation. Vacation Rental Insurance reimburses for pre-paid, non-refundable expenses due to certain unforeseeable circumstances that may jeopardize your vacation investment and force you to incur unplanned expenses. We strongly recommend you purchase this valuable protection. You may add Vacation Rental Insurance to your trip by contacting us directly.

DATE CHANGES: Guest may opt to change the reservation to different dates within one year of the original arrival date by informing us in writing no later than 2 weeks prior to the original arrival date. If the reservation is moved to dates that fall within a time period that rents at a lower rate, no refunds will be given. All high-season rates, holiday rates and night minimums will apply to any changed dates, and special offers and discounts are only transferable to dates that fall within the valid time frame. A $40 change date fee applies.

SWITCHING HOMES: Reservations are not transferable between homes. If Guest decides to switch the reservation to a different home, the switch is considered a cancellation and the cancellation policy applies. If the original home booked becomes unavailable or uninhabitable, RRVH reserves the right to relocate the Guest to comparable accommodations as determined by RRVH and agreed to by the Guest. Guest agrees that RRVH shall not be held liable for any sequential or secondary damages, including but not limited to relocation or additional travel expenses or for any other loss.

Common reasons for extra cleaning charges: extra trash removal, cleaning food spills, excessive pet hair removal from furnishings, picking up cigarette butts or other trash. Most extra cleaning costs are not covered by the damage waiver.

MID-STAY CLEANING: We require mid-stay cleans for stays longer than 13 nights. The online booking system will not automatically add mid-stay cleans, so we will contact you to add the cleaning to your stay after the reservation is made. Mid-stay cleanings cost between $60 and $90, depending on the size of the home. For stays 13 nights or less, mid-stay cleaning is available upon request, at a rate of $30 per hour. Please contact our office if you would like to add additional cleaning services on to your stay.

MISSING/DAMAGED ITEMS: Items provided with the vacation home must remain at the home at all times. Guests are responsible for the replacement and labor costs for any missing items. Accidental damages up to $3000 are covered by the damage waiver, see details above.

HOME AMENITIES: All homes are privately owned and equipped for basic vacation needs. The homes are furnished at the minimum with sheets, blankets, pillows, bathing towels, basic cooking utensils, and charcoal or propane grills. Supplies included with your stay: bar soap, laundry soap, dish/dishwasher soap, sponge, kitchen garbage bags, basic cleaning supplies, shampoo and conditioner, and toilet paper (1 roll per person the home sleeps) and paper towels (1 full roll per kitchen) are supplied at all homes. See the home’s amenities list for details. There is a local Safeway if you need to purchase additional supplies during your stay. Most homes with a wood burning stove or fireplace do not provide firewood.

PHONE: All of our homes have a landline as cell phone service can be spotty in our area. The phone number and details on the service are provided with the arrival instructions. If the home phone offers local call only, you need a calling card and/or credit card to make long distance calls. If it states unlimited calls in US, the home’s phone has free nationwide long distance.

MAINTENANCE: RRVH routinely inspects homes for maintenance issues and wear and tear. Even so, Guest should inspect the rental property upon arrival and report any pre-existing problems to RRVH within 2 hours of check-in. Maintenance problems in the home will be handled in a timely and professional manner. In no event will we issue a refund for a problem we had no opportunity to resolve. Although each property is completely equipped for rental purposes, we cannot accept responsibility for aesthetic conflicts. When guests are unable to preview vacation home, guests accept such property as described and hold the agency harmless for any discrepancies upon taking occupancy.

PROPERTY MANAGER AND OWNER REPRESNTATIONS ENTERING PROPERTY: Occasionally, the Owner or their designated representative(s), including housekeeper, caretaker, or repair person, may enter the property at any reasonable time for inspections, routine maintenance or repairs with advance notice if possible, to Guest via email, text or phone call. Pest Control, landscape and pool and hot tub, utility and maintenance personnel may enter the grounds of the property at any time, without prior notice. Staff may visit the home to check on safety issues or violations of rental terms and conditions

BBQS: All homes are equipped with either a gas or charcoal BBQ. Guests are responsible for cleaning BBQs after use. Food remnants or excessive grease splattered on the BBQ grill may result in an extra cleaning charge. Guest is responsible for following any specific instructions posted in the home or at the grill. For propane grills, propane is provided. We make every effort to ensure that there is at least one spare full tank at the property prior to guest arrival. Upon arrival, check the tank. If the spare tank is empty, it can be exchanged at our office during business hours or you may have tank filled and exchanged at a different location. You can submit a receipt to our office for reimbursement. Keep the valve on the tank closed and the gas off to the BBQ when the BBQ is not in use. For charcoal grills, charcoal is not provided. The Safeway in Guerneville is open late and is a convenient place to purchase charcoal.

BOATS AND DOCKS: Guest uses all boats, docks and water related amenities at their own risk. Guest will not hold homeowner, RRVH, or any of their agents responsible for loss or injury as a result of their use. If the home you rented comes with boats and/or a dock, the following terms apply: Boats and most docks are only available when the summer dams are in, approximately mid-June through September. Summer dam installation and removal is out of our control and is subject to change. RRVH does not guarantee the availability of boats or docks. If boats are provided and available, guests are responsible for boats during their stay and will keep all boats properly stored and locked when not in use. In the event that a boat goes missing during the course of their stay, Guests will be billed the cost of replacement.

LEFT ITEMS: RRVH is not responsible for any items left behind. Please make sure you remove all personal items before departing. There is a $20 service fee plus shipping charges to retrieve and return items.

HOT TUBS AND POOLS: To see if the home you rented provides either a hot tub or a pool, refer to the home’s web listing. Guest will not hold the homeowner or RRVH responsible for any accidents or medical conditions that may occur from using the hot tub/spa and/or pool.

All hot tubs and pools are routinely and professionally serviced. If the home is equipped with a hot tub and/or pool, the guest is responsible for maintaining it in good condition. Guest requests for extra pool or hot tub service may be at the Guest’s expense. In the event that the water is found to be contaminated after departure, the Guest may be responsible for the cost of draining and cleaning the hot tub and/or restoring the pool to usable condition. Use of the hot tub or pool that is considered non-malicious but still results in additional service is covered by damage waiver. Malicious use is not covered. Due to our remote location and difficulty in securing parts in a timely manner, RRVH cannot guarantee the function of a hot tub or pool. No monetary adjustments will be made for any malfunction RRVH did not have the opportunity to resolve, nor for any malfunction due to user error and/or misuse.

TRASH: Guests are responsible for putting their garbage outside in the cans the night before garbage day. Please recycle as much as possible. Guest must put trash and recycling bins out on the street the night before for early pick-up the next morning. If guest fails to put the garbage out, Guest agrees to pay the cost of trash removal.

USE OF PROPERTY: Our vacation rentals are for accommodation only. Commercial use of the property is strictly prohibited unless RRVH has given prior written approval. This includes, but is not limited to, movie production, professional photography shoots, retreats for which the Guest has advertised and been paid by participants, and any activity related to marijuana production. Use of the property for a commercial enterprise (legal or illegal) will result in immediate termination of the booking without refund. Guest will be responsible for all costs associated with bringing the property back to its original condition plus an administration charge of 20% of the restoration costs, or $500, whichever is greater.

FUTURE CONTACT: Guests will automatically remain on our email list after their stay in order to receive our eNewsletter. If you would rather not remain on the list, you may let us know, or unsubscribe via the guest eNewsletter email unsubscribe function. We will not sell or share your contact information with any third parties.

ONSITE MONITORING DEVICES: For the safety and security of guests and the home, some homes have on-site devices such as security cameras and noise monitors. Check the Know Before You Book section of the home’s online description for specific information on any devices located at the home you booked. Any attempt to turn off, damage, disrupt or remove these devices will lead to fines and/or eviction without a refund.

LIABILITY: Guest agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the homeowner, RRVH, and their agents from any loss or personal injury suffered by vacationer or his or her guests or invitees in relation to the rental of the vacation home including, but not limited to, the use of recreation amenities such as hot tubs, pools, trampolines, boats, docks and play structures. Guest shall immediately inform RRVH upon learning of any unsafe or hazardous conditions.

24/7 GUEST EMERGENCY CONTACT: In the event of maintenance emergency or any other matter that cannot wait until our regular business hours, use our emergency phone extension, provided after you reserve. Please note that we do not monitor our Airbnb inbox after-hours so any message left there will not be received until our office reopens.

Thank you for supporting our local business! When you stay with us, you are supporting local families at work. We think everyone deserves a decent living wage, and we make sure to set the rates and fees so that our cleaners and employees earn a living wage in beautiful Sonoma County. The cleaning fee goes directly to the cleaners and inspectors for their hard work in making sure our guests have a wonderful and welcoming space to call home for their stay.

Bed Sizes: First bedroom: Queen bed, Second bedroom: Double bed, Living room: Double futon

Heat Source: Propane wall heater, wood burning fireplace (no firewood or kindling provided).

A/C: 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.

Canoes and kayaks are provided in some of our homes and are available from mid-June to mid-September only. The river is usually too swift for boating in the winter and many docks and beaches are under water until late spring.

Summer Rotation Day: Saturday
During the Peak Season, which runs end of June through August, Casa Luna has a 7 night minimum and rents on a Saturday to Saturday pattern. If you make an online reservation outside of this rotation day requirement, we may contact you about altering your dates.

Use of the hot tub or pool that is considered non-malicious but still results in additional service is covered by damage waiver. Malicious use is not covered. Due to our remote location and difficulty in securing parts in a timely manner, RRVH cannot guarantee the function of a hot tub or pool. No monetary adjustments will be made for any malfunction RRVH did not have the opportunity to resolve, nor for any malfunction due to user error and/or misuse.

TRASH: Guests are responsible for putting their garbage outside in the cans the night before garbage day. Please recycle as much as possible. Guest must put trash and recycling bins out on the street the night before for early pick-up the next morning. If guest fails to put the garbage out, Guest agrees to pay the cost of trash removal.

USE OF PROPERTY: Our vacation rentals are for accommodation only. Commercial use of the property is strictly prohibited unless RRVH has given prior written approval. This includes, but is not limited to, movie production, professional photography shoots, retreats for which the Guest has advertised and been paid by participants, and any activity related to marijuana production. Use of the property for a commercial enterprise (legal or illegal) will result in immediate termination of the booking without refund. Guest will be responsible for all costs associated with bringing the property back to its original condition plus an administration charge of 20% of the restoration costs, or $500, whichever is greater.

FUTURE CONTACT: Guests will automatically remain on our email list after their stay in order to receive our eNewsletter. If you would rather not remain on the list, you may let us know, or unsubscribe via the guest eNewsletter email unsubscribe function. We will not sell or share your contact information with any third parties.

ONSITE MONITORING DEVICES: For the safety and security of guests and the home, some homes have on-site devices such as security cameras and noise monitors. Check the Know Before You Book section of the home’s online description for specific information on any devices located at the home you booked. Any attempt to turn off, damage, disrupt or remove these devices will lead to fines and/or eviction without a refund.

LIABILITY: Guest agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the homeowner, RRVH, and their agents from any loss or personal injury suffered by vacationer or his or her guests or invitees in relation to the rental of the vacation home including, but not limited to, the use of recreation amenities such as hot tubs, pools, trampolines, boats, docks and play structures. Guest shall immediately inform RRVH upon learning of any unsafe or hazardous conditions.

24/7 GUEST EMERGENCY CONTACT: In the event of maintenance emergency or any other matter that cannot wait until our regular business hours, use our emergency phone extension, provided after you reserve. Please note that we do not monitor our Airbnb inbox after-hours so any message left there will not be received until our office reopens.

All rules outlined above and posted on premises must be adhered to by guests and their invitees. Upon request we will mail, e-mail or fax a copy of these rules to you.
