"redwoods retreat"

5 of 5

House in the redwoods--beautiful location in the woods; huge deck, updated kitchen and amenities. Good shower, no bathtub, but hot tub on the deck; can look up and see the stars at night. When you drive up, there are several houses near the front of the house, but the back and the deck feel completely private. There is a creek and the property extends into the woods. We had a wonderful stay here and would definitely return.

"Comfort and beauty all in one."

5 of 5

Very easy to find using directions provided by Rrgetaways. When we arrived the fresh flowers in the dining and living room was a nice touch. The hammocks are quite a hike up a steep hill, but definately worth the climb. The views were amazing! There were sheets and towels for our dog in the bathroom (nice addition). The climb via ladder into the loft is extremely steep, but the kids loved it anyway. The creek added a nice pleasant peaceful feeling all day and night. Definately a place you should rent!

"Secret Garden lived up to the reviews and photos."

5 of 5

Secret Garden did not disappoint. We were welcomed by fresh flowers, a very nice touch. The house was fantastic both inside and out. The hot tub was a nice way to relax after a busy day of touring. There was only one problem and that was with the BBQ. Only one of the burners lit up making cooking very difficult. I'm sure it is a simple fix and will be addressed for the next vacationer. My only other suggestion is to make the directions on how to run itunes through the stereo clearer. Secret Garden is a lovely spot and I will be returning with my husband in the near future.

Manager Response:

The BBQ has now been replaced. The owner is working on re-writing the stereo instructions. -rkl

"Most awesome property on the planet"

4 of 5

Secret Garden was a most delightful piece of heaven. We can't imagine a more beautiful location. Everything was clean, and the absolute high point was being met by the gorgeous just-like-at-home floral arrangements. It was quiet, even though neighbors were close-by. They weren't at all intrusive due to the layout of the house. We were extremely disappointed that both the BBQ and the large TV in the loft didn't work. Also, if the large screened TV had worked, it would make much more sense to have it downstairs rather than up in a hard to access loft.

"Possible last trip with my dog"

4 of 5

I was looking for a remote get-away to spend with my best doggy friend. Dusty is very shy of people. The house is not as private as I expected which made Dusty nervous and you can hear traffic. It does have a wonderful view and the brook sound from the upstairs bedroom is wonderful. The air freshner smell used to mask the smell from the kitchen was too strong for me so I had to remove them during my stay. The timing of my stay was unfortunate as my dog became ill (she had a tumor and needed surgery - has cancer) and I spent much of my time going to the vet. When I contacted Russian River Getaway about the problem with the heater, the initial contact person was very short. I asked if I could stay an extra two hours and even though the next people were not checking in until the next day, I was going to be charged another 20% so I declined. I probably won't use this service again as it seems rigid and given the circumstances with my dog (beyond their control of course) and the fact that the heater did not work properly the entire time I was staying there, I was disappointed there was no flexibility. The house I must say is beautiful and decorated in just my taste. Nice property and great location (unless you are looking for extreme privacy with absolutely no traffic noise).

"Secret Garden Was awesome"

5 of 5

The house was very beautiful, clean, quiet and had more amenities than we expected. Huge deck w/ a BBQ and outdoor seating. There's also a campfire spot a little ways away from the house, which was cool to roast marshmallows on. There were also two hammocks up on the hillside and little waterfalls. There was also a hot tub that was awesome. The house had heating, but if you run a small fire in the stove, you really won't need to use it.The bed was incredibly comfortable and the loft was a great place to sit and watch TV. The bedroom upstairs was big with a smaller one downstairs. Kitchen was clean with plenty of dishes, pans, pots and utensils. You really don't need to bring anything, just your own food. There's a karaoke machine that has thousands of songs. The location was perfect, very private, even with the nearby houses. Loved the streams and the surrounding forest and footbridges. Everything is really green here, I'm guessing because of all of the rain fall. There's a really small general store about 4 miles away, plus Monte Rio, Guerneville and Jenner all within 20 minutes. The Russian River is a short drive away as well, where we kayaked and swam. We really didn't have much reason to leave the cabin, but there are some cool things in the area to check out. The temperature was between 70-74 while we were there.The only downside was that the hot water for the shower was hit and miss. Even with the dishwasher and nothing else running.Can't wait to come back. It was better than we expected.

"Very nice get-away that allows dogs."

4 of 5

The house was great, the property was beautiful and everything was set-up on our arrival. Our only complaint was the cleaning fee. We had extensive instructions on cleaning up after ourselves, taking out the trash, picking up after the dogs, bringing our own bedding and covering all of the furniture...which we did. However the $122 cleaning fee was much too high for a 2 night stay in which we were required to clean up after ourselves anyway. I was also surprised that we had to unmake the bed (and find somewhere to put the clean linens) in order to remake it with our own linens. Not something exciting after a long drive.

We had a wonderful time at Secret Garden. The house was beautiful, inside and out. The yard was so great, we felt like we were in the middle of a forest. The home was so clean, well decorated and and it had everything we needed in the kitchen and plenty of firewood available. Our dogs also loved the yard and the creek. There is so much to do in the area, but I was perfectly happy to stay around the house. It was very private, quiet and peaceful. I have stayed in two other vacation houses, both of them near the ocean, but this is the nicest, cleanest home we have ever stayed in. It is beautifully decorated. I would definitely like to come back again, and have recomendend this rental to my friends.
