"Wonderful Experience at the Dreamcatcher"

5 of 5

Just had a wonderful time staying at this place. It' a little tough to get to, but is a really beautiful cabin in the woods. The location is near a bunch of great places to hike, but you'll have to drive to any of them. It's close to a bunch of stuff to do, but there isn't anywhere that you can walk to. The hot tub and rustic feel is great and directions for using everything in the house were really clear.The only negative was that we woke up early on Saturday morning to a neighbor using a chainsaw for a couple hours. Not a big deal, but when you leave home to get away from noise in densely populated areas, waking up to a chainsaw isn't ideal. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone else though. The actual house is beautiful, the hot tub is nice, and the location is pretty good.

Manager Response:

I'm glad to hear you had a good time at Dreamcatcher, chainsaw notwithstanding. Thanks for the detailed review, and we do hope you'll be back. What are the chances of a chainsaw striking in the same place twice? -Rachel, Russian River Getaways

"Cold"

2 of 5

Pros: It delivered on a quant wood cabin and a nice deck with a hot tub. The upstairs bedroom was nice and we had high hopes for our stay. Cons: the place was quite cold when we arrived and it was difficult to get it or keep it warm. The place smelled moldy and the downstairs lighting was very poor (though the lighting could easily be fixed by replacing the wall lights with lamps). The windows were drafty and this made being on the sofa or left side of the bed unpleasant.Tips: if you want to cook eggs, bring your own frying pan. Bring your own wood for the wood stove - the wood there is wet and won't burn.

"Romantic cabin in the woods"

5 of 5

We stayed here as a base for exploring the wine country of California and chose this rental after falling in love with the pictures on the net. It was so cosy and charming it made me wish I could have one of my own. Unfortunately we didn't have a car so getting around was a bit of a nightmare, taxis here are brutal. More expensive than London (and that's saying something). However it was nice just to relax for a few days, enjoying the tranquility. The first night here was the best nights sleep of the whole trip, the combination of fresh air and peace and quiet makes a great cure for insomnia. We stocked up at the supermarket in Guerneville with Californian wine and stuff for the barbecue and spent our evenings relaxing in our own outdoor jacuzzi, I would definitely return if I ever come back to this area. A fairytale cottage with real personality.

"Quaint private hideaway"

5 of 5

Quaint private hideawayIf you are looking for a peaceful retreat, Dreamcatcher is your place. It is very private yet easily accessible. It has wonderful charm and is a fabulous little cabin for a romantic getaway. The cabin has plenty of kitchen items, pot, pans, dishes, utensils, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, stove, oven, and fridge. The bathroom had two sets of towels, the bedroom had the right amount of blankets and pillows. We brought our own blanket which came in handy while lounging on the couch watching Dvds. The hot tub was clean and in perfect working order. You can take a stroll around the property and enjoy all of the sounds of nature among the beautiful redwoods. You are a short drive from Jenner, an adorable tiny town and the perfect place to pull over on the side of the road to watch the sea lions frolic in the surf. Guerneville is about a 15 minute drive and has cute little stores, gas stations, and Safeway.We had such a relaxing time and can't wait to schedule our next trip!

Manager Response:

Ooooh, I'm so glad you had such a great experience at Dreamcatcher. It is a great house, and the location is divine! Thanks for the review, and please do come back soon. -Rachel

"Quiet, rustic, remote getaway not too far from the wine valley t"

4 of 5

A great option if you want to visit the region, but avoid the touristy and busy wine center cities.A bit of a drive to wine valleys, but mostly beautiful scenery along the way.Dark and remote property location on the side of a mountain - steep, winding drive up and down.Rustic - not a "luxury" facility. Very comfortable furniture, but watch your head on very-low ceilings in loft-bedroom.Bathroom adequate and clean but, again, not luxury. Terrible shower head. Bathtub was a bit awkward to step into and out of. Hot water provision very good.Kitchen good. We only did simple breakfast in house, no cooking. All basic needs included, but would be nice if they included sugar and coffee so you don't have to buy more than you end up using. Good grocery story in Guerneville, about 5 miles away though.Deck was not cleaned, and hot tub not up to snuff. Whole deck needed to be swept off and generally refreshed. Hot tub was clean and hot, but the seating padding in the tub was discolored, frayed and worn out. If the deck was ready for us and the tub padding replaced, we'd have spent time out there, it would have been a much better value and we'd have enjoyed it much more.Upon arrival, interior was a bit musty. Not a big deal, and kind of expected for an all wood cabin in the wettest part of the state. We aired it out for 30 minutes and bought a few smelly candles from the grocery store and it was fine after that.If staying in cooler months, you will need to buy wood and use the wood stove/heater. The small gas heater provided was just barely adequate at night (with outdoor temps down to mid-upper 40's).

Manager Response:

This is a great, thorough review, thanks! We'll take a look at the issues you mention and pass your suggestions on to the owner. We do hope you'll come back for another stay. -Rachel

"Peaceful & quiet"

4 of 5

Check-in was easy as we just followed the instructions we received in email. We loved relaxing among the trees either in the hot tub or on the front porch. It was a great adventure exploring the grounds with our dogs. We had everything we needed in the cabin - dish soap, laundry soap, paper goods, extra blankets, etc. It only takes about 10 minutes to get to town for food/shopping or the river beach and it is a nice drive to the coast no matter what route you take. The book is helpful for some things to do. We went to town and stopped at Russian River Getaways for an area map and literature on the area which was very helpful. The dogs next door are too excitable no matter what and because of all the notes we were overly concerned about them. They bark if they hear you walking in the grass! If you have good dogs, don't worry.There is only one closet to store and hang things and it is upstairs in the bedroom - we hung our coats on the chairs. You have to uncover the hot tub to find the controls. Watch out for scorpions, they like to hid under stuff in dark places. we found only saw one.What I enjoyed the most was the quiet mornings and evenings in the redwoods - the trees are beautiful and the air is clean. Thank you for a lovely vacation retreat.

Manager Response:

You are so welcome, and thanks for the nice review of Dreamcatcher. We do hope you'll come enjoy our area again soon. -Rachel

"A romantic escape"

4 of 5

The pictures online are very accurate. We enjoyed our three night stay very much in this cabin among the redwoods. Well stocked kitchen equipment. Good cable reception. Close to the coast, wineries. We would recommend it and would stay again!

Manager Response:

Dread a little dream at Dreamcatcher! Thanks for the great review. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and the local attractions. Please come back soon. -Rachel

"Cozy & Rustic Cabin"

4 of 5

We thoroughly loved our visit! Nestled in the Redwoods, it felt quiet, private & welcoming. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, little dining area, kick-back living room; and found the upstairs loft bedroom to be absolutely charming! While some reviews found the instructions, etc. to be excessive, we found them very clear & helpful. We printed them out ahead of time (including all RRG web links) - so that finding the place was a breeze, there was no confusion about where to park & it was easy to find everything (including electrical switches, etc.) inside the cabin. Furthermore, the dog web link was super useful - not only in providing information about dog-friendly places, but just about every other resource we might be interested in checking out!Parking was not at all a problem. There's plenty of room to maneuver. Because loose dirt, etc. makes tire traction difficult, we swept the area (broom right there) before attempting to drive up the driveway to leave. The neighbors were not an issue. They were quiet & so were we. A couple of reviews complained about barking dogs. They were not our immediate neighbors' dogs. We vaguely heard it, but it was off in the distance & of no bother to us (or our dog). I am allergic to dust, so came equipped with my Mite allergen Relief spray - which worked!The stairs... My mantra was "Count to 8!" If you have to go downstairs to the bathroom at night, make sure you've counted 8 steps because it is true that, even with a light on downstairs, you cannot see the individual stairs... actually, it's even difficult during the day. It would be very helpful to place a light on the floor (by the bookcase) at the base of the first part of stairwell.Only major bugaboo... The bedroom closet was not at all guest friendly. It was jammed with extra lamps, etc. on the floor. Those things should be stored elsewhere (or contained within a cabinet). Extra blankets & pillows should be placed nicely on a stand or shelf.

"Dreamcatch, a quiet retreat"

4 of 5

My wife and I were looking for a place to get away from the loud sounds of the Bay area and we found it. Dreamcatcher provided a retreat in the woods where we found ourselves catching up on sleep, kayaking down the Russian River, sampling new wines and getting through a few of the books we promised to read.

"Cute cozy retreat!!"

5 of 5

We loved it! Super cute and rustic. The house was beautiful and cozy. The location was a bit far from town. That would be the only reason we would choose another house. But the neighborhood was perfect! Very quiet and perfect for walks and lounging outside. The outdoor space was beautiful and very relaxing. The trash instructions were a bit confusing. We weren't sure if we needed to take the cans out of the box. The info book was great! We actually used it a bunch. It would be wonderful if you could add even more dog friendly info. We will be back!

Manager Response:

Wow, it's so great to hear that you enjoyed Dreamcatcher so much and thanks for putting that in writing. We'll take a look at the trash instructions and make sure they're clear for the future. We do hope you'll be back soon. The redwoods are magical in winter, and we do have that 3-for-2 winter discount...-Rachel, Russian River Getaways

"Redwood retreat"

4 of 5

Surrounded by redwood, inside and out! The cabin was well stocked with supplies and was comfortable and clean. If you are going to cook, bring seasonings...salt & pepper provided. The stairway to the bedroom was a little difficult to maneuver as seniors as was the walk from the parking area to the cabin.

Manager Response:

We do our very best to guide our guests to the perfect cabin for their needs. Dreamcatcher is the proverbial "cabin in the woods" with all it's quaint charm. It's secluded and romantic but the stairs up to the bedroom is a bit narrow. We do hope you had a great time and that you'll come back again.

There is no place like the redwoods. The Dreamcatcher cabin has a magical energy entwined with the trees around it. We will return.

"Great house, but Smokey fireplace!"

2 of 5

From the pictures, you can't tell that there is another house steps away, but from where the small deck and jacuzzi are, the yard is completely private. Our only problem, which caused us to have to leave early, was that the fireplace made the entire house fill with smoke. The chimney does not not draw well enough to keep the smoke from filling the room. I gather from smell of smoke in the cabin when we arrived to the many notes about how to operate the fireplace properly, others have experienced the same thing. What happened to us was that we tried to light the fire in the afternoon, failed, and then the fire died down. Later that evening the fire started again from whatever smoldering remains were left in the fireplace from our early attempts. Had we been sleeping when this happened, it would have been very dangerous, as the open loft where the bed is, is the first place that fills with smoke. Please fix the fireplace! Or, at least, mark it as non-operational!! The gas heater is plenty to warm the small cabin.

1 of 5

Let me start off by saying, I was not feeling well by the time of our arrival. That being said, I was not impressed pulling up. The pics online were the same as in it was the same building but it was definately not as well maintained with moss and leaves everywhere giving it an unkept feel which carried over to the deck and hottub. Inside was clean but very dated to the point my wife thought "creepy." It was pretty cold in there when we came in and no firewood for fireplace. We had to turn heat way up and use small electric plug in heater just to get it comfortable inside. If your a tall person like myself watch your head for low ceilings and cob webs in the loft.We went for a romantic weekend and between the long drive to get there and other personal experiences combined with the cabin itself we did not accomplish oour goal. The price was steep for what they ended up offering which would not of bothered me so much had it been worth it. We left after only one day of our planned two day stay. Stopping by the booking agent we let him know we were leaving and he was very friendly.

Manager Response:

We're sorry these folks did not enjoy their experience at Dreamcatcher, but we feel this was a matter of mis-aligned expectations. For the outdoor ambiance, it is rainy season in the redwoods; moss and leaf litter are to be expected. The indoor decor is home-y and rustic, and is clearly visible on the website. The booking information given to each guest states that the heat for this home is a gas fireplace and a woodstove, and that firewood is not provided - most cabins in the redwoods do not have central heat. The slope of the ceiling is low in the upstairs bedroom, and, although this shows in the photos and we've never had this complaint before, we will note it on the webpage for future guests. We'll alert the housekeeper about the cobwebs. As is evident in the majority of reviews of this home, most people love it, and it has a loyal following of return guests.
