Cottage vacation rentals in Little River

We’re very familiar with the surrounding area and this home is classic to the Russian River vibe. It’s easy to access Jenner Highland preserve, Armstrong woods and river activities. We found the listing to be accurate and very clean. We did not access the small secondary building but appreciated the hot tub. We also were glad we left our dog at home as there is no grass on the property and several stairs to navigate. It would certainly work for some dogs, but not ours was quite large. We did appreciate David’s immediate response to our request to edit our reservation when we decided not to bring our dog; excellent communication!

Beautiful home with everything we needed. Comfortable, welcoming, and clean. Secluded and private yet convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. Skunk Train was a blast! Only there 2 nights and could have stayed for weeks. Hosts, including Piper, were kind, helpful, and friendly. Piper is the sweetest & softest thing ever. 2nd evening included grilling, hot tub. fire pit, and s'mores - a perfect ending to my 16 day road trip.

We absolutely loved our time here. Everything was so well taken care of inside their home and you simply cannot beat the view. It's stunning. We appreciated the dog -friendliness and wonderful location as well.

Awesome, quirky, and cute. Hot tub is nice, as is the whole seating area out there. If you are a fan of creative spaces, different styles of stays, and don’t need or do fancy, this place is ideal. It is creaky and if you are over six feet tall you’ll have to duck at one spot, but that stuff adds to the cute factor not subtract. Good spot

We were thrilled to find Dan's Cove Cottage on AirBnB. My husband grew up camping at the Wages Creek campground with his grandparents every summer in the 1960s-70s. We brought our own children to camp there when they were little. Now that we're older, it was wonderful to experience the matchless beauty of this beach with every comfort thoughtfully provided for, and every glorious view framed by a window. There is even a telescope! The wood stove was very easy to use, with everything provided, including excellent instructions, but the heating system is state of the art and the fire is more for the coziness and glow than warmth (but remember to turn the heating system down if there's no fog). I particularly liked the variety of pillows available,Dan went out of his way to make sure we knew everything we needed to know beforehand, such as directions, where to shop for groceries, exactly how to access the keys, etc. When cell coverage is spotty, this is a great help to print out and bring.

Our family enjoyed our stay at Sarah’s place. Access to the river was a very short walk from the home. The house was clean and clear of clutter.

This was our second time staying at Red Door Retreat and we had another great visit. As before everything was exactly as pictured and described. Checkin was very smooth and communication with Brett was great. We particularly enjoyed the several nice outdoor spaces and the hot tub. Quiet setting but short drive to local attractions and Guerneville town center. Highly recommended!

Such an amazing place to stay. Words can't do it justice. Everything within the space is so intentional, the beds, the shelves, the lighting the appliances. I stayed with my family of 7 (4 adults & 2 kids) and it was perfect. Two bathrooms was a huge plus! The washer and dryer were a huge plus and we enjoyed the sauna and the hot tub and had a bbq in the backyard. Can't say how magical and wonderful this place was to be in the middle of the redwoods was just amazing.

I don't think I have enough characters available to describe this experience! We use Airbnb often and this was our best one! First, the host Jeffrey was fantastic. So helpful and communicative. But this home is just a magical place. If you're looking for a very private experience, but still close to the city... this fits the bill. I don't think the photos posted do it justice compared to the in-person experience. The house-keeping crew is perfection... you wouldn't know someone ever visited before you. Everything was immaculately clean. The kitchen has every amenity you would ever need. Blankets, linens, and towels were abundant. Our group had the most wonderful time... thank you Jeffrey and Trey for sharing your home with travelers. We enjoyed the added bonus of wildlife encounters each day as well! I am sharing the link to this property with everyone I know!

Such a beautiful, secluded stay. We brought all our food and cooked in the well stocked kitchen and outdoor grill. We loved the pool table and piano upstairs. The beach is stunning. And the view — second to none! Can’t wait to return.

This was hands-down the best air bnb I’ve ever stayed at. Peaceful, beautiful, well-appointed, and extremely cozy. Jacquelyn’s recommendations for activities and restaurants in the surrounding area were spot on. We fully plan on staying again!

The views from Elk Cottage was amazing! The place was a perfect stay on our trip. Highly recommend.

We stayed here for thanksgiving break and it was a perfect getaway for us. Very comfortable place with all the amenities and fully equipped kitchen (We cooked entire time we were there). The surroundings is so beautiful and peaceful. Hike around the lake was really beautiful. Mackenzie was very responsive and even stopped by to help us light the fire. And invited us to campfire one of the evenings. We had a relaxing time surrounded by our nature. Didnt even get out of the property like we had initially planned to.. Highly recommend and would love to go back again.!

We enjoyed this stay Mother’s Day weekend, not only was it quiet and peaceful with the hot tub, but it was also the perfect location. Seconds away from the beach, cute little downtown shops and food. Listening to the waves and sea lions at night in the hot tub was just an added bonus! Definitely will stay here again.

We loved our stay at Ashley's! She was very communicative and answered our questions right away. The location is amazing as it is right on the river and across the street from such an incredible beach! We would love to stay here again if we are in the area :)

The cottage is in a lush green dense forest surrounding. Very quiet and peaceful. Inside of the house was clean, very well equipped with kitchen utensils, and had good quality bedding. Pay attention to the instructions sent by the host to find the house as the final dirt road to the house isn’t available on google maps. The house is dog friendly. They even had a dog bowl to use. There’s also a fully fenced backyard to leave your pet off leash. Overall, it’s a beautiful place to stay. 15 minutes away from Mendocino. With proactive and friendly host. Will definitely comeback here.

We have stayed at this cottage multiple times, and plan on returning many more. Although I stay at other AirBnb’s throughout the country for work, nothing compares to this Manchester Cottage for vacation. The host has the hosting process done to a T. The entire experience, from start to finish was flawless. Other hosts should take note on how to do it properly. The private beach access is definitely the coup de grace of the entire experience, but the fully equipped kitchen is runner up. With 3 sons, having a functional kitchen is a must. Not to mention the gas grill on the deck near the hot tub. Just writing the review makes me want to book my next visit! We look forward to our next visit. Thank you!

Barking Rocks Cottage is a lovely home, in peaceful surroundings with a wonderful ocean view. Kelly is an amazing hostess, proactively communicating and sharing very helpful local information with us ahead of the trip. Her thoughtfulness is evident in every corner of the very well-equipped cottage, including the generous welcome treats. Every detail is geared towards making your stay comfortable and enjoyable. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning soon! Thanks for everything- Kelly!

Dear Jessica and Jon, Thank you so much for creating such a special space at The Alchemy Tree House. We had a wonderful stay. From the moment we arrived, we felt at ease—surrounded by the redwoods, with everything so thoughtfully designed and cared for. You’ve created a place that feels both grounding and inviting, and we appreciated the attention to detail. The location was perfect for exploring—close to the Russian River, Armstrong Redwoods, and not far from the coast. But honestly, just being able to relax in the quiet, surrounded by trees, was a gift in itself. We also really appreciated how warm and responsive you were throughout our stay. It’s clear how much love you’ve poured into the place. We’d absolutely love to come back someday. Warmly, Marcus

Beautiful place in a great location, really appreciated the easy access to Mendocino and Russian Gulch, yet was tucked away on a quiet road and nice property. Would love to visit again.

Small hiccup getting into the house and Amber was super quick to help! The place was stunning! So beautiful and so well appointed. The home is 10/10!!

Great experience overall!! It was amazing getting to wake up and see giraffes feeding ever day. I would definitely recommend booking a guided tour as the animals are amazing and the staff are super knowledgeable and kind! I would recommend making it an unplugged trip as data is spotty and the WiFi isn’t the best.

Such a stunning little cottage and property! Perfect for a peaceful getaway. The hosts were very friendly, welcoming, and thorough with their responses and detailed information. Highly recommend staying here as I felt very at peace. One of the best Airbnbs I have ever stayed in!

Our stay was very warm and cozy, the place was very clean and relaxing. We will definetely rent again. Our host was very easy to get in contact with, fast responses. Easy check in and an over all comfortable stay.
