"Arcadia is a fantastic retreat. "

5 of 5

Arcadia is a fantastic retreat. So close to Guerneville but secluded and remote at the same time. It's an ideal getaway from SF.

It's great to hear you enjoyed Arcadia so much and hope you'll be back, Paul. Thank you for the review and feedback! -Rachel

Amazing house! We had no issues at all. They made it so easy to access the home completely stress free. We had a great weekend and I would highly recommend this home.

"Gorgeous views, well-stocked, spacious house with an excellent location"

5 of 5

Some friends and I came to stay in Arcadia for a celebration weekend and the house was perfect for us. The views were incredible, the location of the hot tub equally so, and the house itself was spacious and extremely well-stocked. We took full advantage of the kitchen and the outdoor grill. Will definitely be back- thank you!

What lovely and private location for a getaway. Watching the fog and clouds move across the valley and tree covered hills from the patio or the hug windows as awesome. The hot tub surrounded by redwoods was so peaceful. The kitchen is well equipped. Everything we needed for gourmet meals for a group who loves to cook. It was warm and cozy sitting round the pellet stove in the evenings. The only thing to be aware of is that the bedroom with the twin beds is accessible though the shower and bath room. So consider that when you are thinking about who you group is. It worked just fine for our group of two couples and 2 single women who are very close friends. The host is excellent at communications. I had a number of questions as we prepared to travel and they were super responsive.

The house is situated in a truly idyllic location, the views are spectacular, and the outdoor space is really nice to relax and soak in the surroundings. The hot tub and hammock along with the patio space were great to hang out in. Also, the living area had great space to play games or cook for a larger group. The only downside to the property is that some of the spaces of the house are dated to the point where it felt unclean and/or concerning to our group. Mildew in the carpeted bathrooms, leak underneath the sink, and simple things like drawing the curtains or trying to change the speed on the fan and we would easily break. Simply put, some of the original design and fixtures of the house aren't really holding up and make for unsanitary or concerning conditions. Having said that, I would recommend this for a group, as we had a great time. It was really beautiful, secluded, and we were able to have the space we needed. My only suggestion is to keep those things into consideration for future visitors.

Manager Response:

Thanks for the review and feedback, Kevin - much appreciated. We will take a look at the items you mention and get them fixed for future guests. -Rachel

Beautiful home in Guernville. Favorite part was the incredible view in backyard...trees everywhere! Air quality is amazing. Beware the road leading up to the house though-especially in the dark!

"This location was breathtaking!"

5 of 5

This location was breathtaking! Yes, it's a steep road for about 1/3 mile so I would advise going in the daylight the first time. It was a very comfortable house to stay in. We had six in our family and there is more than enough room. Time on the patio was peaceful and fun. Hot tub a plus. The amenities were great. A new outdoor bench is needed or remove the photo of it as it is too weathered to sit on. A couple of the kitchen bar stools were not the most sturdy so be careful. I would highly suggest removing the carpet from the bathrooms to keep sanitary. Even with these minor things, I would highly recommend the property.

The house is presented accurately. Great views and lovely grounds. The inside is dated: carpeted bathrooms and older fixtures and amenities (linens, specifically). But what you get is fair for the value. The drive up is harrowing at first, but we got used to it quickly. The hosts, River Getaways, are great. Response time is quick and courteous. They are informative and made checking in and out very easy. Professionals through and through!

Manager Response:

Thank you so much for the lovely review, Janney! We very much appreciate hearing your experience and are very glad you enjoyed your stay at Arcadia. You are welcome back any time! -Rachel

"This place was perfect for 6 of us!"

5 of 5

This place was perfect for 6 of us! While the road is steep- it is paved and we didn't have any problem getting there. We even walked down to Johnson's Beach one day from the cabin with no issues. The space is perfect for a group with a large shared area and then giant bedrooms. Outside is gorgeous- we grilled and hung out on the patio our first night. The hot tub was also great! The place definitely has a cabin feel and an older vibe (carpeted bathrooms) but was perfect for us! To access one of the bedrooms you have to pass through a shared bathroom which could be an issue with a lot of people in and out of the restroom but didn't really bother us! I would definitely stay here again.

The house conditions were exactly as expected. The place is dated and could use some maintenance but it was clean. We had a couple of issues which required a call to the management company. They responded quickly and everyone we dealt with was very friendly and helpful. The house itself has an interesting and cool layout. It was a treat to relax in the hot tub and take in the scenery. The views are AMAZING but come at a cost (see next paragraph). The only real downside to the stay was the drive up to the house. Once you turn off the main road it is a very, very steep, narrow, windy road with holes and bumps. It requires you to drive in a low gear and when neighbors park on the road it becomes challenging to get around their cars safely. The road is so narrow two cars cannot pass and the vehicle proceeding down is forced to reverse back up the hill. This drive is not for the faint of heart and requires good technical driving skills. We had intended to go wine tasting and have our teenage driver be the designated driver. However, we had to change our plans as she wasn't skilled and confident enough to drive the road up to the house.

Manager Response:

Thanks for the review and feedback Angela! We're glad you enjoyed the house and apologize for the situation with the road. We'll look at how we can make the nature of the road more clear. -Rachel, Russian River Getaways

This is a super home up in the hills, surrounded by trees. Plenty of room for guests. Big, open kitchen. Large floor to ceiling windows facing forrest. Location is close to wineries and located in Guerneville. Peaceful, quiet location with backyard view of a small valley. Beautiful! Inside, beds are comfortable. Plenty of seating for guests.

"The house was perfect for a week-long getaway..."

5 of 5

The house was perfect for a week-long getaway for our family of 5. The views and hilltop setting are beautiful. The hot tub under the redwoods was great for grown ups and kids. Everything in the house worked and was clean. Plenty of space (bedrooms are huge). The kids especially liked talking to the Amazon Echo. You have to walk though a shared bathroom to get to one of the bedrooms. This was fine for us, but could be a consideration for others. Overall, great place.

Manager Response:

Thanks for the review! We're super glad you enjoyed your stay and hopefully your "bug hunter" found some great bugs (maybe with the Echo's help!). -Rachel, Russian River Getaways

The best part of our stay was the gorgeous views from this house. We had 8 guests but the house was nice and roomy so it didn't feel like we were on top of each other. Could use a few more towels and pillows but other than that it was a good experience. Very close to downtown but felt secluded and private. Would absolutely recommend or stay again.

"The place is amazing"

4 of 5

The place is amazing. Great views and very comfortable. Very close to river and town. My only complaints (easily fixable): 1) Ad says it sleeps 8 but only six people can sleep comfortably in a bed. 2 would have to either use a sofa bed or a floor mattress. 2) The kitchen does not have any basic supplies such as salt and pepper! 3) The lock for the hot tub was really hard to open. Other than that, we had a great stay!

Stayed Feb 17 2017 to Feb 20 2017
We had an amazing weekend at ARCADIA! Weren't sure what to expect when we drove in on a rainy night up the steep hill to the house, and were thrilled with place - it's even nicer than the photos! Totally comfortable and really cool mid-centiry modern design and decor. Gorgeous views, and really nice to be so close to town as well as hikes, etc. We were traveling with kids and this place was ideal. I hope to come back soon!

"Awesome place!"

5 of 5

we were up for 3 days last week, and I can't say enough about the place. it was clean and well put together. The property is quite large and sits on top of a hill overlooking the valley so the views are wonderful. Especially when in the hot tub at sunset! All the amenities we needed were there, and everything worked as described. and its a short drive down into the town of Guerneville. Ben was a responsive and gracious host, so the whole experience was really great. We are definitely planning to return, and i Highly recommend Arcadia for a comfortable, quiet and very relaxing get away

"Magical views!"

4 of 5

We (4 adults and 4 dogs) stayed for 3 nights at Arcadia for a birthday getaway celebration. The incredible views from the home provided a magical setting for the weekend. Pros: Incredible views, well-stocked kitchen, very spacious and comfortable home, wonderful hot tub situated in a redwood grove, cooled off very nicely with all of the fans and lots of sliding doors and available windows (in spite of it being 90 degrees that weekend, and the home having no a/c) and we absolutely loved that we could bring all of our dogs and they could enjoy the fenced-in yard! And eating every meal outside on the patio - just lovely.Cons: Uncomfortable mattresses, dirty dishes upon arrival, old sliding doors that don't slide smoothly anymore, grill does not work very well (high setting cooks like low), and overwhelming rule book (there is even a rule written in the rule book telling you not to rearrange the pages in the rule book...)Neutral: Dated interior - this house has a funky 1970s feel. Might be your thing, might not be. Quite a few spiders inside of the home - we live in a secluded area so we are used to that kind of thing, but it might bother some renters. Steep switch-backed 1-lane road up to the home. Again, we live in a secluded area on a one-lane road so this didn't bother us, but I am sure it would be bothersome for some renters.

"Mountain Getaway"

4 of 5

Excellent getaway for a family of 4 plus grandma. The young folks enjoyed the hot tub soaking while watching the stars. Grandma enjoyed the early morning fog come up the mountain as the full moon set into the mountains. Very private. Drive has a key code gate and goes switch back up the mountain. The minivan made it okay. Russian River Getaway support phone number was very helpful with any problems. Only trouble was the sliding screen doors were ancient and did not fit or slide very well. Ceiling fans kept it cool. Guerneville CA is a hoot! Armstrong Redwoods state reserve just down the road is AMAZING. Winerys and wine tasting everywhere. Heaven.

"Secluded, but close"

4 of 5

This is a large, secluded property with everything you could want to enjoy your stay. It's about a mile up a very steep and windy hill, which is both a plus and a minus. It's secluded, which is great and has gorgeous views of the valley and surrounding hills, but the road up to the property feels treacherous if you're not used to such a thing. There are a few condition issues with the home that you'd expect an owner to stay on top of (large cracks in the great room tiles, really dated interior), Utensils left at the home are clearly left-overs or garage sale finds. They were adequate, but not quite what I expected from what I considered to be a luxury rental.

We stayed for 3 night at arcadia during a wine road event. If was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equiped and the pellet stove provided a warm and comfortable place to socalize. The hot tub was very warm and we enjoyed it a great deal at night. I hope to returnnext year.

"Wonderful rental in the trees"

5 of 5

We stayed here for a girls get-together for two nights. Everything went perfectly. There are ample dishes, glass wear, etc. The hot tub was a highlight for us as it is situated right in the middle of a ring of redwood trees. We were worried it wasn't hot enough at first, but it was fine. The view from the hot tub is amazing! So many trees.The only criticism we have would be sooo many rules on the Information Sheet coming from the property manager. Perhaps it's a necessary evil as there are those who don't take care of another's property, but all the threats of fees for violations were a bit off-putting. Besides that, great place and we would rent there again.One of the girls left a swimsuit in one of the bathrooms and management was kind enough to locate it and mail it to her.

Manager Response:

Thanks for the review, and it's great that you enjoyed Arcadia. It is a very special property. We do have rules, many due to the vacation rental permit regulations set forth by the county. We get in trouble if those rules are broken, so the penalties are important to make sure people know to take them seriously. Most people don't need to be told, but there are always the exceptions! -Rachel

"It was great!"

5 of 5

We really enjoyed the home. Our daughter and her family joined us for part of our 3 week stay. The house is perfect for 2 families. The location is beautiful - the views from the windows are beautiful. We had only one real problem. Not enough hot water. After one person took a short shower, there wasn't any hot water left. After service people came to correct the problem, we still did not more hot water. The people at Russian River Getaways were really nice to work with and prompt to any requests we made.

Manager Response:

We're so glad you enjoyed Arcadia. Not sure what happened with the hot water, as we couldn't replicate the problem, and there have been no complaints since. We do hope you'll come back again.

"Awesome!"

This rental is so awesome, we've rented it for next year, as well. The home itself is clean and well-maintained...very comfortable for 6 people. The fact that you're on top of a hill, with hawks flying eye level with you, and not another soul to be heard...amazing. We're definitely looking forward to our summer vacation next year!

Arcadia is heavenly; we're so glad you enjoyed it so much you're coming back! That's just what we at Russian River Getaways are hoping to provide. We look forward to your return next year. -Rachel, Russian River Getaways
