We loved our stay in Francesca and Dan's wonderful family home in Monte Rio. We spent a long weekend at their home, and we ended up barely going out to all the amazing sights of and activities in the area because there was so much to do on their property! Their property is a kids' wonderland: acres of activities like trampoline, ziplines, a creek, swings, hammocks, slack lines, balance beams, outdoor tables, and more. In the house, the kids' bunk room is fantastic for kids, and the adults' bedroom has spectacular windows looking out to the forest. And the hot tub-- such a peaceful way to end the day when the kids are in bed.
I really could go on and on. The location is great -- near plenty of restaurant options in Monte Rio, Occidental, and Guerneville. Lots of hiking and river-sports activities nearby. But when you're at the house, you feel wonderfully secluded.
Communication was perfect. Francesca and Dan were always responsive and helpful.
