Highly recommend for both value and nice home for a group. Carla is the perfect host.

Carla has such a lovely garden home. It feels secluded and yet is so close to Forestville downtown, wineries, Guerneville, etc. There was a queen bed, a single bed, and a single cot, all in 3 separate rooms. One bathroom. Her home accommodated the 3 of us perfectly. We sat out on the lovely balcony, enjoyed her fun selection of movies... even played the piano some! It was a great time and Carla couldn't have been a nicer host, more welcoming host. We would definitely return.

Charming home. Scrupulously clean. Carla was very flexible & accommodating of some scheduling issues on our end. Kitchen is well-stocked with basics.

This is a lovely, comfortable home. Carla provided many extras. It is very clean and unique. The deck over looking an area filled with plantings and trees was a relaxing place to sit.

Tucked away in Forestville, Carla provides a clean, cozy and inviting rural getaway, tucked into quaint tree and flower filled Mirabel Park area of Forestville. Within 30 minutes of both Guerneville and Sabastapol, it has easy access to the Russian River, great restauratnts and Armstrong Woods. It has a perfectly appointed kitchen with every detail considered. A great value and a kind host... a perfect combination. Thank you, Carla!

We loved staying at Carla's place! She is a warm and super helpful host, and the upstairs of her home is beautiful and spacious. It is much larger than I even expected! I did not want to leave!

Don't worry about packing much for your stay here--Carla, a fantastic host, stocks a full bathroom and kitchen, with plenty of towels, blankets, and cooking spices, materials, teas, coffee, and even some food. There were fresh, local eggs and pears in the fridge for us, along with popcorn and snacks in the cabinets. She also has games and some outdoor sporting equipment available for use, if you're interested. And if that wasn't enough, she provides extra touches all over, such as the tea candles and incense in the bathroom or the lights that she strung around the deck for when you're outside at night. In terms of the house, there are up to four beds. The master bedroom with a queen bed (I believe), the guest bedroom with a twin bed, a room next to the entryway with a twin-size padded mattress set-up, and the futon couch in the living room. The bathroom shower has good water pressure and temperature, and the bathtub has jacuzzi jets if you wanted to soak for a while. The kitchen is fully-equipped, but it is a bit on the narrow side, so don't plan on having more than one or two chefs doing any cooking at once. The deck is a wrap-around with two sliding door entrances, one of which is along a walkway to the detached garage (fits one car only). And the backyard is amazing--it's large and full of all sorts of fruits, herbs, flowers, trees, and vegetables. We spent a good hour or so just walking through the garden and admiring everything. One area contains much of the outdoor equipment I mentioned, while another area is an enclosed patio with wine barrel chairs. While there were only a couple of roses in bloom, I imagine it's quite something to sit in those chairs surrounded by the roses that grow around the patio. There was even a rabbit (in a penned area), which just made it even more magical. The one piece of advice I would give is to be extra careful if you're driving to or from the house at night. There aren't any streetlights in the neighborhood or along River Road (the main thoroughfare and a single lane road going each way with a speed limit of 45 mph), so you really have to watch for the turnoff. I used (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps the whole time and found that the directions were pretty accurate up until you approach the house. (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps will tell you you've arrived maybe 3-4 houses too early, so make sure to drive to the end of the street before it veers right. And that's it. Carla is very prompt in responding to communications and is flexible at arranging the check-in procedure (she lives in the unit below the house, so she can also give immediate help if something unexpected arises). She told us that she had a couple who regularly stayed at the house the night before us. After staying there, I understand why she has...
