Holiday rentals with a kayak in Monte Rio

I highly recommend Harman's place! Harman was very responsive in all our communications and very detailed and helpful. The location was great: on the Russian River with your own dock and 3 complementary kayaks, vests, and oars were available during our stay. The place was also so close to a playground, downtown, including restaurants and a grocery store. Third, the separated upper/lower floor was perfect our group of 8! The highlight was the expansive deck overlooking beautiful trees in every direction, the comfy patio furniture and outdoor dining set, and the hot tub off the primary bedroom. There is a spacious backyard, with a cute arbor leading to fruit trees (lemons were available during our stay) were you could have a nice picnic. The river dock is beyond this area by going down some stairs (which were under construction during our stay). The inside of the home was organized, well-labeled, and a had a lot of nice touches, like throw blankets, a dog bed, and a fireplace.

As others have written, this is really a lovely place. We were there in late July when the weather was beautiful and the river was fairly high. We were able to swim and kayak right from the little beach below the house. It was a perfect place to get away with our 2 adult children, with plenty of space to spread out and lots for everyone to do. We had no problem going up and down the steps, but it's not a great space for anyone with physical challenges. Healdsburg is always a special place to spend time and we would stay in this house again for sure.

We had an amazing stay at this vacation home in Guerneville! The space was spotless and had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing getaway. We especially enjoyed the amenities—pool table, ping pong, jacuzzi, and a fantastic selection of board games to keep us entertained. The kitchen was well-stocked with cooking supplies, making meal prep a breeze. The house itself was very spacious, and even our dogs had a great time exploring. Our host, Stephen, was fantastic—super responsive and accommodating, making the experience even better. For the price, this place is a great deal, and we’re already looking forward to coming back during the warmer months! Highly recommend!

I’ve stayed at this property many times. It’s feels like a home away from home, and the host responds immediately to my questions. I intend to continue choosing this place in my future stays.

My family and I stayed at Kim’s place for several nights, and it rained almost every day, but the airbnb was so clean, organized, and comfortable that we fully enjoyed staying in each night, playing games and cooking food. It feels very spacious in the main shared living room/kitchen area, so everyone can spread out. We also brought 2 family dogs, who felt right at home too. The location of this Airbnb is great too because it’s only about a 30-minute drive to both the Bodega Bay Area on the coast and the Santa Rosa wine country area. Highly recommend this airbnb, and would come back again!

This place was fantastic for the four of us to have a peaceful New Years Eve trip away. You are right in a redwood grove, with a lot to do right nearby. The place had a really well stocked kitchen if you want to cook (great flat top grill). The hot tub is fantastic, and the couch/tv area was great for a movie night. If you want to explore Russian river, this is as good as it gets. We walked across the street for nine holes of stunning golf. A 20 minute drive got us to Jenner to explore the dramatic coastline, 15 minute drive to a state park for hiking, and 30 minutes to russian river's brewery. Also there is a coffee shop just across the first hole of the course, which is a rare convenience. If we had 6 guests this would have been really incredible value.

Jeff's place was perfect. Our friends (with two small kids) said that it was the most thoughtful and kid-friendly airbnb they'd ever stayed in. Very peaceful location, beautiful garden, just top-to-bottom great. Super cozy, too. We were surprised but very happy that we had full use of the fireplace and the smores kits were a huge hit.

Beautiful little cottage. Beach close by, clean, nice linens, bathroom was a little cold but there was a small electric heater to warm it. Loved the added skylights. Had a wonderful couples massage that was recommended. Would definitely stay again!! Beautiful area!

Absolutely loved this location. It felt like we were at a spa retreat with the fountain, outdoor shower, and hot tub. David’s guide is the best I’ve seen on Airbnb. Lots of great recommendations and instructions for the house. We felt right at home and the surrounding neighbors that we saw were very friendly. 10/10!

We had a great stay at the Waterfall house. The location can't be beaten; it's secluded, the views are great and it is within walking distance from all of the Jenner hot spots :) Baked goods and drinks from Cafe Aquatica were the perfect way to start our mornings. We also had a great time kayaking on the river with the seals! The kitchen was stocked well enough for all of our needs as a group of 5, and the porch and deck spaces were great for hanging out. The sofa bed wasn't super comfortable but it was good enough for our needs. The other beds were all very comfortable and we slept well! The hosts at the Jenner Inn were super responsive and helpful. We'd definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at this charming and cozy spot! It looked just like the photos, and the description was very accurate. While it's not a new or modern house, it has a warm, older charm that felt both comfortable and well maintained. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the appliances you’d expect in a home, which made cooking easy and convenient. We were pleasantly surprised by how much open living space there was—more than we expected from the photos. Even though it's close to neighbors, the area feels surprisingly secluded and private—perfect for a relaxing weekend. We especially loved soaking in the hot tub at night and listening to records from the huge and awesome collection, while enjoying the warmth of the wood stove. Adam was very helpful and responsive, always ready to answer our questions and offer local tips. This place was perfect for my boyfriend and me—it made for a memorable weekend getaway

Our family lived Emily's place. It's comfortable, cozy and thoughtfully laid out. It has lovely furnishings that fit with the peaceful wooded setting. We felt tucked away among the trees and birds. The beds are very comfortable. Emily is responsive and helpful. we would love to come back!

What a wonderful spot! Comfortable beds, clean kitchen and bathroom, lovely deck, easy river access and all the toys. I very much appreciated the EV charger!! Thora was helpful and responsive. Can’t wait to return!

If you are looking for a cozy space where you can wake up, walk down a few flights of stairs and be in the water, this is it. It is clean, cozy and wonderful. They have one kayak, which we used and appreciated (bring a second kayak so you can cruise around together - or some inner tubes). The only challenge is parking. There is one parking spot and our Tahoe was sticking out into the road a bit (we almost drove off the cliff trying to make it work). We highly recommend.

This place was great to stay at! We loved the big kitchen, the various sleeping areas, and lovely views of the river. Even though it was cold during our stay, we loved the river access and made heavy use of the beach.

The absolute cutest little place! Felt like home away from home and the location is superb. Felt like you were one with Mother Nature in this cozy little escape. Amazing host!

Amazing little place. Super private and comfy. Our host (the cat) was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area. He hung out with us on the porch. Cherie was awesome too! Got back to us quickly and was gracious and helpful along the way. Thanks for everything Cherie! The space is cozy and has everything you would need for a great stay. Looking forward to returning!

A fabulous property in a beautiful place! We enjoyed our stay and wished it could've been longer. A great house for a full family vacation! So nice to have an affordable, pet friendly option!

Top notch all around! This little cottage has beautiful views, is perfectly located on a quiet neighborhood that is super close to anything you might want. If that isn’t enough, the house is beautifully appointed and decorated, with comfortable beds, top-notch hot tub, and a kitchen that truly has anything you need. We like to cook and we often feel frustrated at other AirBnBs, but at Mystic Cottage there was everything we needed and more! Aaaand to top it all, Alex was not only extra nice in our exchanges, with fast responses when we had questions, but he also left us a welcome note and bottle of bubbles on arrival. 100% recommend!
