House in the forest does not disappoint!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My girlfriends and I booked the Lazy Bear Lodge in September. It is a wonderful place to stay. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom. The deck is amazing with redwoods so close you can touch them. The linen closet was full of cozy quilts to snuggle into during the cool evening air. The deck makes the property. The description of the property is accurate. It does have a very steep driveway but it was easy to master. The property was well maintained. The only complaint we had was the beds were very tall and large for their rooms (in one room, hard to move around) and the sofa is so large, we found it very uncomfortable. Those small things would not keep me from booking again.

Relaxing and cozy retreat
Loved this house and the property! It was clean and welcoming upon our arrival and had everything we needed. Kitchen was fully stocked with supplies so we could cook all of our meals! The outside deck accommodated dinners and game nights comfortably. The hot tub was an added bonus! The neighborhood was friendly and tranquil. Close to downtown Guerneville for visiting.

Nice House
I hesitate to write this review. We love VRBO and have used them for both domestic and international properties. But the management company for this property was not helpful. The house had many instructions (including cleaning) and we tried to follow these such as the garbage expectations, etc. While we were told to contact the management company it took the them two days to answer our questions and this was after we called them again. The house was nice and well located but the TV box is outdated, they did not provide enough garbage bags, and supplies such as no coffee (we left some with filters for the next occupant). We enjoyed our stay but will never rent from a third party management company again. We will make sure the listing is managed by VRBO.

Nice Redwood/Costal stay
This was our first time visiting Guerneville. The town is nice and quaint— cute shops and local restaurants to eat, and only a short drive to the coast with lots of hikes and beaches that were dog friendly. The house itself is gorgeously tucked against the redwood forest. It is a nice modern home with all the amenities you would want. We absolutely loved the deck and hot tub. Property management was quick to respond as our reservation was booked only the day before.

Peaceful Redwoods
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was exactly as described, nestled into the redwoods with a private hot tubs and more than enough space for our small family. It was a short drive (or walk) to town and in between town and the armstrong woods. The property manager provided quick reply when we had questions and checkin/checkout was clearly communicated. We visited Armstrong Woods, the community center/Russian river near monte rio, and drove out to Goat Rock Beach.

Good Central Russian River Location
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a nice, newer home in a beautiful redwood setting. It was very clean and well furnished. The gas fireplace was a nice touch. The outdoor spa was also welcome.The common rooms are rather small and the steep and narrow drop in the driveway may be a challange to certain drivers, particularly if they have a larger vehicle and/or the neighbors on either side park their cars too close (as they did during our stay).We also called the property management company after checking in with a question/issue and spoke to Amanda. We never received a call back as promised. Not the end of the world, but worth mentioning.

Guerneville Thanksgiving Getaway
The location of this home was amazing, nestled against the redwoods, yet close to the main town of Guerneville. Hosts were responsive when questions arose about the property. Home also had plenty of space for everyone in our party to enjoy being together or to find a quiet space when needed. Kitchen was well appointed and accommodated our cooking needs well. Overall, our group had a wonderful time spending our holiday in the midst of the woods, with easy access to multiple wineries. Very happy to have found this spot!

Tranquility
There was nothing about this property that we didn’t like! The location is lovely, only a few blocks from the center of Guerneville and a good place to stroll with the dog. It was so quiet at night! During the day too. The redwoods behind the property added to the peace, and the landscaping and views from all the windows were so pretty. Good daylight inside the house, not gloomy like some places with tall trees. Room to spread out both inside and out; it was a treat just to sit and do nothing on the patio. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Our dog, who is very timid about noises he cannot identify, was completely relaxed, and that’s a good endorsement! I did find one bed too soft for my back but my husband was fine with it and I found another bed that suited me so got some great sleep. Didn’t want to leave, already scouring the calendar for when we can return! Highly recommended.
