Ananda is a magical little cottage nestled in the hills above the Russian River. The name Ananda means bliss, and that's what you'll find at this private, serene hideaway. With a spacious living room, large sunny deck, and beautiful gazebo with a hot tub, you'll feel worlds away from the stress of day-to-day life. Yet Ananda has internet access in case you need to plug in, and you're only a few minutes from the river, ocean, quaint towns, and many, many wineries!
The spacious living room is furnished with a pleasing mix of comfortable, contemporary furniture and lovely antiques, for a rustic, homey feel that will have you totally relaxed. There's also a fabulous stone fireplace for those cozy evenings.
The deck at the front of the house opens out to a large sunny deck at the back. In front, you'll find a large Japanese maple that adds to the beauty and tranquility of the house. The huge, sunny deck along one side of the house has a large teak table and chairs that can seat six, as well as a lovely wooden bench and a wonderful hammock, which both provide more lounging opportunities. The four-person hot tub is sheltered underneath a gazebo.

Nice stay
Was a very beautiful little cottage. Getting to the house was a little tricky with a narrow and steep road, but there was a place to park and turn around.

Beautiful house in the redwoods
We loved our stay! The house is awesome and the deck is even nicer. Our dog loved exploring and checking out the smells and had ample space to roam. We were able to use the deck for relaxing, grilling and enjoying the hot tub. Would absolutely stay here again!

Needed a better cleaning.
The floor was dirty. The hot tub was disgustingly filthy. The fireplace barely turned on. Disappointing.

Rest and Relaxation
We loved everything about our stay at Ananda! It's like a beautiful little nest up in the redwoods. The hot tub was definitely the star of the show for us. We enjoyed family meals together, relaxing, reading, playing music, and making art. The beds were cozy and comfortable. Nice hot water in the sower. The kitchen was well equipped. Coffee supplied was appreciated!! We enjoyed our coffee on the deck each morning.
