The Space:

Nestled in the heart of the redwoods, Eclectic Escape is a vibrant, thoughtfully designed retreat where comfort meets creativity. The home’s open floor plan invites you to relax the moment you step inside, with its bold, artful decor and one-of-a-kind furnishings. The living area features a wood stove, perfect for cool evenings, while large windows frame the natural beauty of the surrounding forest. A plush sectional offers ample space for gathering, and an eye-catching geometric coffee table adds a playful touch.



The fully equipped kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring modern appliances and everything you need to prepare meals, from pots and pans to a French press for your morning coffee ritual. The adjoining dining area provides a comfortable space to enjoy meals, play games, or converse around a spectacular dining room table.



The primary bedroom features a queen bed, a charming loft bed and a cozy twin sleeping nook, offering extra sleeping and relaxing options and a whimsical touch for restful nights. This bedroom features an inspiring artist corner where you can create your masterpiece.



The second bedroom is equally inviting, with unique decor and plenty of space to unwind. It too features a queen bed, loft accessible by a ladder, and an adorable built-in workstation.



The third bedroom is detached from the main house and accessible by solar-lit steps. This room features a king bed and romantic spa-like shower. Perched above the main house, with its own private deck, bathroom, and shower, this sanctuary is waiting for you to enjoy.



Step outside into the private, enclosed backyard. This tranquil oasis with built-in concrete seating, gas grill, and serving counter makes al fresco dining a breeze. Towering redwoods overhead create the perfect space for a sipping wine, grilling dinner, or simply soaking in the forest ambiance.



Guest Access:

Guests have full, private access to the entire home, including the casita, backyard, grill, laundry area, and driveway. A smart lock on the front door makes check-in a breeze. Parking is available on-site for up to 2 vehicles in the driveway. Additional vehicles may be parked along the street. Please avoid parking in the adjacent open area, as it belongs to another property. The garage is temporarily inaccessible.



The Neighborhood:

Located just five minutes from downtown Guerneville, Eclectic Escape offers convenient access to the best of Sonoma County’s Russian River region. Guerneville is a vibrant, welcoming town with a rich mix of eclectic shops, art galleries, and top-notch dining options. Stroll along Main Street to explore its unique offerings, or stop by one of its celebrated cafes for a delicious meal or a locally roasted coffee.



Wine lovers will enjoy the proximity to the renowned Korbel Winery, where you can sip sparkling wine while overlooking the lush vineyards. For outdoor enthusiasts, Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve is just a short drive away, offering hiking trails through majestic ancient forests. And when it’s time to hit the coast, the Pacific Ocean and its pristine beaches are just 15 minutes away.



Getting Around:

While Guerneville is a walkable town with plenty to see and do, having a car is highly recommended for exploring the surrounding areas. Scenic drives will take you through the heart of wine country and along the rugged Sonoma Coast, while cyclists can enjoy the many routes that wind through redwoods and along the Russian River. Public transportation is limited, but the region’s natural beauty makes driving or cycling an adventure in itself.
