House Rules

QUIET HOURS: 9 PM - 7 AM daily (Mandated by Sonoma County) Please help us to be respectful of our neighbors and county laws by keeping noise to a minimum, especially during county mandated quiet hours. Amplified music is allowed indoors at reasonable volumes, and is permissible on the beach / river. Amplified music anywhere else on the property (including the back deck) is strictly prohibited and a violation of our license to operate.  Parking: On-site parking is strictly limited to two vehicles at all times, in accordance with our county license. The garage is not available to guests. Please do not block our neighbors' access to the shared driveway connecting both properties to the main road. Additional free parking is available on the main road across from the property's entrance. Breakages: We understand accidents happen! Should you break anything please let us know immediately - if it's minor we usually won't charge. If it's a larger issue, we would like to agree upon the cost with you before you leave to avoid any issues later. Thank you! Smoking Policy: This is a smoke and vape-free home. Please do not smoke or vape any substance indoors, and be respectful if smoking outside. PLEASE NOTE: We're in a high fire danger area. If you must smoke, please ensure butts are fully extinguished and appropriately disposed of in the provided receptacle, and be cautious about embers.  Pet Policy: We love animals, but have chosen to keep this a pet free home due to allergies and potential wear and tear to the home.  If you must travel with a service animal due to a disability, please notify us in advance and kindly inform us what work or task the animal has been trained to perform. Service animals may not be left unattended on the property at any time, or allowed onto the furniture. We would kindly ask that you bring your own food and water dishes for use at the property, pick up after your companion, and clean dirty paws before entering the home. A note about river safety: PLEASE NOTE: The river can be unpredictable and dangerous. The river is generally safe from Memorial Day weekend until mid to late fall. Higher water levels, fast moving water, and strong currents render the river unsafe during winter months and early spring. Even in warmer months, high flow, strong currents, steep drop-offs, and hard to see debris can pose safety hazards, and there are drowning victims every year. Please check local forecasts if in doubt, and swim at your own risk. Life jackets and/or flotation devices are recommended at all times.

Abe and Nicole were great hosts! Their place is beautiful and we all enjoyed ourselves. We wish our trip were longer so we could spend more time in their lovely home and hang on the deck.

Abe and Nicole clearly put a lot of thoughtful attention and care into this space—from the furniture and cozy blankets to the most beautiful coffee set up I've seen in an Airbnb, it felt like my visit was well considered. A few notable details were the comfortable beds, handmade coffee cups to use while enjoying gifted coffee beans, fun deck chairs, vintage cd player, bar cart (don't sleep on the candies in the glass jar!), electric plugin for our car rental, and beach access. Heck, even the drink coasters were cool! The location was ideal for our trips to Sebastopol, Forestville, Guerneville, and beyond. I look forward to visiting again in the future!

This is a wonderful home to stay in. The private beach area is fantastic and the location is great with easy access to the surrounding Russian River area. Highly recommend!

We stayed at Abe and Nicole’s home while I attended a conference at Sonoma State and turned it into a family weekend. Their home, right on the Russian River, was perfect - peaceful, comfortable, and filled with thoughtful touches. The BBQ and fire pit are hooked up to the gas line (no propane worries), the smart coffee maker brewed the best cups every time, and the beds - including the kids’ twins were incredibly comfortable. Abe and Nicole went above and beyond when they saw we were bringing an infant, even providing a new pack n play with a comfy mattress. The house was stocked with everything from sunscreen and bug spray to detergent and outdoor lamps, and their chairs and mat made river time so easy. The location is also great close to Safeway, charming downtown shops, and wineries. We are so grateful for the care put into this home and the beautiful memories we made here. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing! The place is so beautiful, inside and out. We spent the day down on the private beach by the river, and enoyed cooking in the kitchen which was well-equipped. Abe and Nicole were incredibly thoughtful hosts, leaving us some goodies to help celebrate our anniversary. Would definitely recommend, and would definitely stay again!
