Amazing location
Amazing location, very walkable to town. Quiet and quaint. However, bathroom door was completely broken and cabinets in general could use some work. But rustic & charming is what I expected.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Do not stay here unless you enjoy an unsealed room that has between 10-15 spiders on the walls at all times (one was even over 1.5 inches long) smells like must so strongly that it may be actual mold, you like hair including some that look like they pub*s all over white sheets, wool blankets (as in they can't be cleaned fully without being dry cleaned) as warmth and 2 out of 3 beds with mattresses that are probably at best from the 1980s. I contacted Vacasa and asked them to have the room re-cleaned. Talking to Vacasa customer support is clearly talking to an AI. I messaged about the musty smell, they asked for a photo for their documentation. Eventually I was able to get them to say they would send someone. This was around 5 pm on Friday. A person came sometime Saturday evening. They made the beds, but it isn't clear the sheets were changed (still lots of visible hair) and there were actually more spiders in the room than when we had left a few hours before. Just don't say here. And don't trust Vacasa to actually handle issues as the renter.

Walking Distance to town
Location is amazing as you can walk to pretty much anywhere. As stated in other reviews, you can't park at the property, but there is plenty of parking on fourth street. If you have difficulty walking, this is not the place for you. The place is small but perfect for a solo or a couple. It was clean, plenty of towels and nice back deck/table area.

Nice spot but yard not great for dog
Short walk to shops and river. Yard not great for a dog, had to shore up some fence areas to keep him in the yard that has grown up some since photos were taken. Dog got two foxtails stuck in his eye that required a late night visit to the emergency vet in Santa Rosa for removal.

Needs some attention
This listing has several things going for it, the small house could have great charm, especially with those mid-century modern pieces, but if I had to summarize this listing I’d say this: it lacks effort. The stay for 4 nights is a little over $1000, and 99% of the other vacation rentals make an effort for that. The bed has a futon mattress, like in college. The house has two light fixtures, each with three sconces, only one lightbulb working in each fixture, two sconces didn’t even have lightbulbs so it’s not like nobody knew. There’s no lightbulb in the downstairs security light either; problematic for those who need to go upstairs for the bathroom at night. The house is right there in wine country and there are no wine glasses in the house. There was scant salt and pepper and we had to wash everything we used in the kitchen before using it as it was either dusty or badly washed, not an ideal message to send in the COVID era. As another reviewer remarked, the place is in desperate need of a refresh, yellow paint, rusted kitchen blinds. I booked the house because the response to that comment was that this would happen. Finally, when driving there, keep in mind that Apple Maps does not locate the property at all on the road, so switch to Google maps as it locates the house correctly. If traveling with little kids, please note that they’ll actually have to exit the house to go upstairs to use the bathroom at night.

Guerneville Retreat
The property is perfectly situated as it is a short walk from downtown Guerneville but still manages to feel like you are tucked away in the woods. The interior is cozy and a welcoming place to return to after a day along the Russian River or the coast.

Listing needs a refresh
The pictures of the property, especially the exterior look very different from the ones on VRBO. The exterior plants (bamboo) is really encrouching. The studio was in need of a deep cleaning. The small shower had mildew on the floor and the bathroom had cob webs. There was mold on the little kitchen bay window, food splatters on moldings, in between the oven and cabinets and water rings on the window ledge from beer bottles. The location is not tranquil, as described in the description. The road the property is on is noisy, the neighbors are noisy and the road down the street is always busy and loud. We ate out as much as we could, but brought food to cook during our 3 day stay. It just didn't feel like a place we wanted to hang out it, much less cook at. The dead bolt was very difficult to bolt and the front door didn't seem sturdy or really secure. I missed the mention of the futon bed, so that was my fault. But, future renters should know, it is a futon.

It is a very close walk to town. The restaurants and bars are a very short walk from the house.
