About this property

Riverfront 3 Bed 2 1/2 Bath + HOT TUB + Private Beach & Kayaks + Pet Friendly

True North is a place to recalibrate your senses on the banks of the Russian River. This tranquil home promises an unforgettable experience, with a deck perched up among the trees, direct access to the river below, 2 seasonal kayaks (generally available from May - October, weather permitting), and a hot tub to soak in any time you wish.

This two-story home enjoys a beautiful location on the riverfront, looking out over the river itself, evergreen treetops, and the Northwood Golf Course across the road. Swim and kayak from the riverbank, dine out in Guerneville (three miles), and hike your way through Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve (five miles). The house is also perfectly situated for wine tasting in the Russian River Valley and scenic drives out to the Sonoma Coast.

Much of your time here will be spent on the gorgeous deck, immersed in the redwoods that rise up through the deck boards. It's an incredibly special setting for morning coffee, afternoon barbecues, and evenings spent enjoying the quiet that this location offers.

With its open layout and generous windows, the interior is every bit as inviting. Highlights include a well-appointed kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a designated playroom off to the side, and a living room where you can watch movies on cable, DVD, or stream your favorite show while enjoying the warmth of the woodstove. The far upstairs bedroom is a beautifully painted kids' room with a bunk bed with two twin mattresses (sleeping 2) plus a queen size be (sleeping 2) for a total room space accommodating up to 4 guests. The other upstairs bedroom, located across the hall from a full bath with shower over tub, has a queen size bed and offers direct access to the outdoor porch facing the golf course. On the main level, the primary suite features its own desk workspace, so you can log onto the complimentary WiFi and catch up on a bit of remote work in peace or award yourself time in the gorgeous, tiled ensuite bath that resembles a luxury spa experience. An additional plus of the primary suite is direct access through the glass doors to the hot tub at any time of day, or night. All three bedrooms were well panned out in location and sleeping accommodations.

Unique space right along the Russian River

We enjoyed this house. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and all thst was needed for cooking big communal dinners. The house is quite beautiful, with an interior patio, outdoor deck, and hot tub area. The room with 3 beds was a bit cramped for several adults but workable. Overall, it's a.nice spot that's most enjoyable during the summer when you have direct access to the river.

Sweet Riverfront Time

My group and I had a wonderful stay at True North! The check in/out process was super easy. The home is true to pictures. It had a great layout and we all enjoyed the main kitchen/living room space a great deal. Loved the inner atrium! Kids enjoyed the hottub and the renovated bathrooms are lovely. Beds are comfy! We came in the winter so didn't use the deck at all or even go down to the river, but we did love the wood stove and taking walks in the neighborhood around the golf course. The home is wonderfully situated near Guerneville & Monte Rio; we went on hikes outside of Occidental and got to the coast easily for oysters and sunset beach time. It was a super lovely place to stay. It is near the main road, so you do hear a little traffic, but not a big deal. Thanks True North!

Beautiful house, nice hot tub

It’s a beautiful house with a nice hot tub, newly renovated ground floor bathroom and a good array of cooking equipment. A few things detracted from our enjoyment — cold upstairs bedroom with no heating (used the space heater), a kitchen cabinet door fell off the hinges, a loud leaf blower at the golf course across the street started at 6 am everyday. The service and owner fees were quite high, so it's hard to understand why they expect guests to take out the garbage. Nevertheless, the deck overlooked the river and the beautiful fall foliage, many cute towns were very close and we had a wonderful weekend.

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

Managing a riverfront home on the North Wood Golf Course with private Russian River access is rare. I grew up across the highway from this home and spent much of my childhood searching for lost golf balls to turn into the pro-shop for pocket change. This is a quiet neighborhood that shares its location with only the lucky ones. Once you have stayed here, you will be daydreaming of your next visit.

What makes this property unique

This home is well planned, maintained with intention and happiness, and owned by a friendly family that enjoys sharing it with others. They love spending summertime along the river and evenings around the wood burning stove. Cozy and modern all at once, sleeping 8 with spacious accommodations, True North is fabulous.
