About this property

Petunia's Place ~ Gorgeous 1857 Farmhouse ~ Across River Road from Sunset Beach

Originally built in 1857, situated just across River Road from well visited Sunset Beach, and surrounded by an established apple orchard, is Petunia's Place. Owned by the same family for over 160 years, purchased in 2021 by a neighbor who saw the opportunity to restore the farmhouse from the foundation up, this true piece of Russian River history is filled with magic and kindness. Like a life size doll house straight out of Cosmo, chicly furnished by way of up cycled treasures and sparkling new amenities, being part of this home's story is a gift. Keeping to the original footprint, the main level is smartly planned to include a bedroom, good size living space with direct access to the back yard, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with shower and laundry area with stackable washer & dryer. Up the flight of wide plank walnut wood stairs, sourced from nearby Duncan Mills, is the second bedroom, known as the Gingham room ( queen size bed ) and third bedroom, known as the Polkadot room ( 2 twin size beds ). Conveniently located across the hall from the bedrooms is a full bath with a black and white penny tiled shower with rounded glass door. At the end of the hall is the Primary suite which offers ample space, tons and tons of natural light, and its own ensuite bath with wide block tiled shower. The Primary suite also has access to the wrap around covered porch which points towards the vineyards and redwood forested hillside. The private back yard, accessed off the dining room, has a wooden deck, gas BBQ ( with spare tank ), and short staircase off the deck leading to the separate Foosball Funroom bedroom. The Foosball Funroom bedroom has a new fold out bed ( double ), homage to King Kong, a vintage dining table for four and of course, a Foosball table.

About the host

Hosted by Naomi Smith

Host profile image
After years as working as an employee in the short term rental market I took a leap of faith and began working for myself in 2021. I enjoy hosting visitors to the Russian River area, where I have lived all my life. I hope that each guest staying at the property leaves with a smile on their face and the consideration of a return stay.

Why they chose this property

I have driven past this property all my life and always wanted to know its history, let alone, be part of it's transformation. I immediately said yes to managing this farmhouse and am confident any who stay here will thoroughly enjoy themselves.

What makes this property unique

This property is a historic piece of Forestville. Built in1857, owned by the same family for over 160 years, sold to a caring neighbor and rebuilt in 2022, there is nothing like this on the river. Sharing space with Gravenstein apple trees, brilliant works of reborn metal, and situated just off River Road, facing the well loved Sunset Beach and surrounding vineyards, I truly believe this home is magical.
