Cottage vacation rentals in Russian River

We stayed at Rascal’s Flat for four days to celebrate our birthdays, just my wife and I. However it is equipped for people with dogs and children. Make sure your first time at the property is during the day! The road up is not that long but twisty and narrow. We absolutely loved it and had a wonderful stay! Would go back again!

My husband and I spent 3 nights at the lodge for our one year wedding anniversary. It is located on the same property as their vineyard which makes for a beautiful, serene view and setup. During our stay, we did a very personal wine tasting with David in the main house. It truly is a cool experience and unlike any other wine tasting I have done before, not to mention the wine was very good! The lodge itself is cozy and relaxing with a private back patio looking into the trees and nature. I wasn’t so sure about the outdoor shower at first but it was actually really nice! Water warmed up really fast and the view is amazing. The bed is located upstairs which was very comfortable and cozy with plenty of pillows and blankets. If you have trouble with mobility, the stairs leading to the bedroom are not easy to navigate and there are more stairs from the parking lot to the lodge with some uneven ground at times. If you are fine with stairs and some walking, it is well worth it!

Very nicely put together lake front property. Madison was very responsive and helpful during our stay.

This is a charming place, beautifully kept with lovely furnishings. We really enjoyed the well appointed kitchen as we cooked every day. The yard and gardens are beautifully kept, peaceful and serene. Oranges growing right outside the house! We were in town for a wedding, and Santa Rosa is right in the middle of so many enjoyable things to do. We hiked on the CCT out past Bodega Bay, enjoyed restaurants in Healdsburg, visited the redwoods and shopped at the Barlow in Sebastopol. Thank you Cheryl for sharing your lovely home. We had a fabulous time!

This was a perfect spot for a personal retreat. I loved everything from the decor to the comfy bed to the private hot tub and well tended garden. I would love to come back again.

Super cute little spot. Walking distance to Sonoma Plaza and it had a private hot tub. Good distance from some vineyards and wineries as well!

This home is absolutely beautiful! The outside is gorgeous and relaxing. The outdoor patio and hot tub are amazing! The location is also fabulous. We went to the Bothe-Napa state park and the Castello di Amorosa both of which were only 15min away as is downtown Calistoga which is really cute. We really enjoyed our stay!! The only slightly problematic feature is the toilet, it doesn’t really work.

I’ve done A LOT of traveling and have stayed in many Airbnbs, but Mama K’s is by far my most favorite! The house is lovely and has more than the amenities anyone would need and, I’ve never stayed in a more CLEAN Airbnb before— all the tiny details have not been overlooked! This was my second time enjoying the space & I did not want to leave. It’s one of the most beautiful, spotless (and I am very detail oriented!) and peaceful places I’ve spent time. The grounds are absolutely beyond beautiful— from the lush yard to the incredible access to the Russian River out the back door to the outdoor shower and private clawfoot tub, the hot tub on the deck to the whimsical gardens, use of river toys (canoes & kayaks) and more! I had tears in my eyes when it was time to leave! I cannot say enough about this truly one of a kind and magical place. Thank you Karen for the opportunity to enjoy a true slice of heaven!

We had a great experience at Caroline and Tim’s place! Walkable to Santa Rosa’s downtown area with lots of cafes, restaurants, and bars! Will keep this place in mind for a return visit to the area!

pleasant and cozy stay. definitely recommend to unwind and relax

My wife and I really enjoyed Jays quiet retreat. Its just what we wanted for my B day .

Laying by the river on the deck with my two senior doggos was pure bliss!

We can't wait to come back!!

Joshua’s place was perfect. The home was beautiful and the surrounding area was great. The home is set back on a quiet street, which made enjoying the home so relaxing. I brought my two dogs who enjoyed sunbathing on the wrap around patio/deck and running around the yard. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again!!

We had a wonderful time at Carolyn’s place. We loved spending a day on her deck overlooking the lake - so beautiful. We also took advantage of her fire table out front. She also had a sturdy fold out table for dining - we initially didn’t see it in the pictures but she actually had everything we needed to enjoy a full meal around a table. Bonus points that we could fold it away for more space when not using! Carolyn was also very responsive and checked in daily on how we were doing. Would love to come back!

Creekside Cottage is a thoughtful and well furnished home. It also has a great yard for relaxing, play space for our dogs and small granddaughter. Perfect and loved the location in the redwoods yet with sun and running water. The drive to town was gorgeous! Thank you Jane and Hank

Perfect little studio in a beautiful neighborhood! We didn’t have a car during our stay and had no problems walking or taking the bus to nearby wineries and restaurants.

Such a beautiful and peaceful retreat! Our dogs had a blast running around off leash on the hiking trail (the first part of the trail is steep but our dog with arthritis managed it just fine) and the house was incredibly well stocked and clean. Jeff and Trey were always very responsive and so friendly. I’m so glad this was our first trip with our newborn!

My 2nd stay in this lovely cottage,…, peaceful, tranquil and quiet. I will return.

Steven & Suping went above and beyond to accommodate my stay in their cottage; from my request to have the large king sized bed moved to be up against the wall so my 1 year old son could safely sleep in the bed with me to even providing a highchair to my surprise! Along with covering all of the exposed outlets and securing the kitchen cupboards so my little one wouldn't get into them. This kind of attention to detail is what makes these hosts stand out above others. I truly felt welcomed and as if it was a home away from home. I would definitely recommend this cottage and these hosts, and I will look into staying here again on our next trip to the area.

This is nice hidden gem right by Russian River! Beautiful, semi-private space with a hot tub and fireplace that warms up the home to make it very cozy. Space was very clean and the host was responsive and helpful when I needed some direction on how to get to the airbnb. Cute little walk around town. If you're looking for more to do it is close to Guerneville and the Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve is close by. Highly recommend!

Edrene’s place is even more beautiful and quaint in person! Great views in the backyard, nice and quiet neighborhood, but only 10min drive from downtown.

Quaint cottage in Calistoga with coffee and restaurants within walking distance. Easy checkin and communication with the host. The room was clean and had a fire place and spa sized bath tub. We would definitely consider booking here again on our next trip to Calistoga.

Home away from home! My younger sibling, two dogs and I spent a relaxing weekend here recently. It was raining almost the whole time, only making it even better to curl up on the couch with a stack of books. If I could've gotten the fire going, it would've been even cozier! Kitchen is fully stocked - we made all our meals. The neighborhood is super green and verdant, great for the eyes (but not very walkable - no sidewalks). The backyard is not fully fenced in, so please be careful about letting your dogs off-leash. Rachel was super proactive, helpful, and welcoming in all communications. We didn't use the hot tub this time but maybe next time! (And the mattress was perfect - shocking, since my sibling prefers soft ones and I prefer firm. How did it manage to suit us both? Is this wizardry?)
