Michael was a great host. Very responsive during the booking process and especially during the stay. Any question I had was answered within 10-15 minutes. House was clean and as described. About a 15-20 minute to a private community beach, and centrally located for all local public beaches. Lots of parking, easy to find, and private. Would definitely book with him again

We had a fantastic stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located—close to everything in the Russian River area. The beds were super comfy, and the hot tub was a perfect way to relax after a day of exploring. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing place and amazing host! Great location, cute and cosy place with all the amenities you need. Close to beach, fun mini golf course and cute downtown. Michael was responsive and very accommodating. His place is worth the stay! We will be back. :)

Loved our stay up in at the river. The accommodations were comfortable for our group of 3 and very well appointed. Driveway is a bit steep and challenging to navigate the first time down/up but once we were used to it, it was fine. Would definitely recommend staying there!
