Owners did a great job with this house! Lots of upgrades & beautiful landscaping. Sparkling clean upon arrival & well stocked kitchen. Larger bedroom’s attached bathroom was pretty tiny but the other bathroom was perfect. Backyard was private & peaceful with lots of seating options. Just be mindful, if you are traveling with anyone who can’t walk or handle stairs well, there are three levels to this backyard & it is a flight of stairs down to the hot tub. The yard was absolutely perfect for my dog though, he loved it! There was one area in the front yard where the fencing has some gaps but it was fine. There was room to park two cars inside the gate but plenty of room to park along the outside of the gate as well. The hosts were wonderful and communicative with quick and helpful responses. Checkout was also a breeze and they did offer a late checkout upon asking them. Would stay here again and would recommend it to anyone!

My husband and I recently enjoyed a weekend getaway at the Valley Vista property, and it was the perfect spot to unplug and immerse ourselves in nature. Remarkably, despite its close proximity to town, the property felt like a secluded forest retreat, offering the best of both convenience and tranquility. The house was beyond our expectations in terms of cleanliness - both inside and out, it was absolutely immaculate, providing a comfortable and serene experience. When we encountered an issue with the internet, the host was exceptionally responsive and swiftly resolved it, ensuring our stay remained uninterrupted. The backyard was a true highlight, offering various lounging spots to relax and soak in the surroundings, with the hot tub and hammocks being our personal favorites. The entire setting had a magical treehouse feel to it, making our stay both unique and memorable.

We enjoyed our stay at Valley Vista. The home is lovely. I would love to return in the summer to enjoy the outdoor space. We throughly enjoyed our visit. This home is technically EV-ready. It does have the plug but that's it. It wouldn't cost that much to have a proper EV charger installed. That said, I did not bring the correct attachment to charge my vehicle. I had to drive home on Christmas day to pick up our gas vehicle. Not a fun way to spend Christmas Day. If it was any other time of the year I would have been able to order what we needed but since it was Christmas nothing would arrive in time. Our overall visit was very nice but double-check what you need to charge your EV before booking.
Dear Jennifer,
Thank you for sharing your experience at Valley Vista. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the home lovely. It's wonderful that you're considering a return in the summer to make the most of the outdoor space.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience regarding the EV charging situation. We would like to highlight that our listing description details a "220V plug for EV charging (cord not supplied)". We understand the importance of clear communication, and we appreciate your honesty. While we'll certainly explore the possibility of installing a proper EV charger to enhance the experience for our guests, we hope this information helps future guests plan accordingly.
We're grateful for your overall positive visit and appreciate your suggestion to double-check EV charging requirements. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again and ensure an even more seamless experience.
Warm regards,
WC Lodging
Beautiful spot in the forest. Highly recommended!

The place is very private and has an amazing backyard. The bedrooms and the bathrooms were extremely clean but the couch had some dirt on it and we found 2 glasses in the kitchen to be dirty with food stains.
The backyard was very pretty and well equiped but note that the area with the hammocks doesn't have any lighting so it's basically unusable after it gets dark.
The owner/property management was easy to communicate with and were very responsive.
Overall I'd give this property a 4.2/5 rating only because of I am being extra critical because of its price.

We had a great stay in Guerneville. The house is close to the downtown area (although the hill makes it a tough walk), including river access. We were looking for a relaxing weekend and it hit the spot. We used the grill and the decked back yard made it easy to find sun (or shade) as needed. Loved the fenced in yard for our pup (although the neighbor's dog was not happy with the intruder and barked a lot). Overall, great stay.
I thoroughly enjoyed staying at WC lodge. The location was very close to the town, but also far enough away for privacy and quiet.
The three level outdoor back deck was great for relaxing and immersing in nature.
I would highly recommend staying here
Wonderful place to stay. The backyard views and hot tub were amazing! Very quiet and peaceful.
Beautiful place! The outdoor terraces were amazing, very inviting place to stay and hang for a getaway weekend. The house is updated and very comfortable with all the amenities you could ever need. The kitchen is fully stocked. The downstairs apartment is brand new and just remodeled, and was much bigger than I expected. I would certainly stay here again. Close to downtown Guerneville and all the river spots.
Thank you Annie, we would love to host you again!
We loved our stay – it's better than the photographs, and completely peaceful and quiet! Many thanks to the hosts who were very responsive. Make sure to get the ADU as well, it's a great space and perfect addition.
Thank you Bradley, we would love to host you again!
Great place, so beautiful and relaxing! Fully stocked kitchen and everything was so clean! We had a great time!
Thank you Christina, We would love to welcome you back soon!
This place was absolutely lovely and very well maintained. The view is amazing and the amenities were high quality, including the large hot tub. The backyard is completely private and very peaceful. The balcony patio furniture is cozy. We enjoyed breakfast outside with the view. Location wise It is technically walkable to town but it is on a pretty steep hill. We use a local cab service RJD2 to get downtown, but Lyft and UBER are probably options when it’s a busier season.
Thank you for the review and feedback Amanda, We would love to host you again soon!
A clean, cozy cabin with the perfect mix of rustic charm and modern amenities, fixtures and appliances - like great kitchen and bathrooms.
It felt remote and private, with a beautiful view - but was just a short drive (or casual stroll) into town.
The terraced landscaping with hammocks and a large hot tub was beautiful and well-maintained. We hope to come back again in the summer months to enjoy all that outdoor space!
The place was exactly like the pictures. Easy to find, and in close proximity to everything we wanted to do. Was in a neighborhood, but did not feel like it, felt very remote when inside.
Had a great stay! We loved the fireplace and rustic feel of the cabin while having all the comforts and amenities we needed!
This was hands down our favorite stay and one of the most well stocked and thoughtful items throughout the home. They even had a pack and play for our daughter and the doggies loved the back yard. I highly recommend and we will definitely be back! Thank you so much for the amazing experience.
This place was better than advertised! The backyard was amazing and relaxing in the family/TV room was equally as incredible.
Hosts were great communicators and we loved the proximity to downtown. If you are on the fence, commit!
House was as advertised! We had a fabulous time, highlights include the hot tub, the hammocks, and using an air fryer for the first time.
The house was BEAUTIFUL... the kitchen was PERFECT.... and the decks looking over the wooded forest was CALMING and exactly what we needed!!!
Great place, be sure to read check in instructions carefully.
Cozy home with fantastic outdoor space. The rooms were comfortable and the house was well stocked with essentials - especially THE KITCHEN. This kitchen was the most well stocked I have ever seen in a rental property, full of nice kitchenware and all of the appliances you could want. The outdoor space has three levels of deck - one for dining, one for hot tubbing, and one for picking plums off the trees and lounging. Gorgeous views. Super close to town. Because we brought two babies, the only wish we had was that there were baby/kid stuff stocked, but certainly understand that's not what all airbnb's are marketing for. We made it work! Loved our stay.
Beautiful and tranquil.
The first house we booked, the one on this listing, looked amazing… until it was cancelled at 7pm the night before saying there was “construction and it was unsafe” after we’d had it booked for over a month. We were offered another one or their “comparable” properties so we took it as it was our holiday break. We got to the new house on the river in Healdsburg and found a sparsely furnished (most of those furnishings broken or old), mold by the shower, a chipped glass shower door, and a disgusting hot tub (which was really a small tub for 1-2), and windows with no shades so neighbors could see into the house, including the bedroom, at all times. The house was beyond disgusting/disappointing to the point that we left the next morning and moved to a new Airbnb. We asked to be reimbursed for the other 2 nights and they fought us on the fees and ended up charging us almost $1000 for an absolute disaster of a house. I have been a renter and host on Airbnb for over a decade with 5 star reviews, and would NEVER EVER rent from them again. Buyer beware on all their rentals.
We had a wonderful time here and look forward to coming back next year! The beds are super comfy, the house is well stocked and the yard in incredible - fully fenced in with stunning views of the redwoods. We will definitely make this our annual stop. Thank you again for an amazing stay.
You are on a private hill, over looking a tree topped canopy in privacy. Great front yard as well as back yard space.
The hot tub was underneath the trees, and the stars. Right minutes from downtown, and from the river and 25 minutes to the ocean. We loved Goat Rock beach!
This place was picturesque and amazing!! Our family of four stayed for 3 nights and it was absolutely enjoyable.
Very nice home in a lovely setting. The location amongst magnificent redwood trees cannot be beat. It’s not even 5 min into town but you’ll feel so relaxed. I would book again for sure. WC Lodging is very responsive and helpful.
