Live Like a True Local…Fire Season, Drought Conditions, Covid…We are in it together! So Help Smokey Out, Save Water Any Which Way You Can, and know your Abundance of Caution Cleaning & Local Covid Protocols: See “Other Things to Note” below for tips on how to protect our community during your visit.

Walkthrough:
Riverlands is a two level home, main living + 2 bed/2 bath upstairs and 2 bed/1 bath downstairs (exterior stair only). The main entry is also up a set of stairs, and the kitchen, semi-formal dining, and living room open to each other and wrap around the central woodstove console. The living and dining rooms open to a large deck with outdoor dining, loungers, hot tub. Down a hall, there’s a full bath, bedroom and master suite with its own full bath. Beyond the master suite, the hot tub sits in its own room that also opens directly to the deck. Note that there are curtains only (NO doors) between the master bedroom and master bath. From the deck, there are exterior (NO interior) stairs from the main living level down to the two bedroom suite with full bath, surrounding a central game room. The laundry shed is also on this lower level, just outside the door to the lower suite. A few more stairs lead down to the rear yard and *seasonal dock. Upper level 1700sf; lower level 1000sf; grounds are 1/2 acre.

*Please note:

–Airbnb categories: Cabins, Vineyards, Play. Grain of salt…other than “Play” and “Vineyards,” these categories do not fit this home. Korbel is about a 10 minute drive from the house.

-There is no interior connection between the upper and lower levels of this home.

-About the River: Roughly May-October, the River is gentle, with very little white water, warm enough to swim. Water levels can vary greatly, especially in June and September. Roughly November-April, the River is very swift, deep, and muddy, not considered safe for swimming or boating. Depending on rainfall, beaches are more or less under water. Rivers are dynamic, changing over the course of the season and year to year. Russian River levels depend upon a complex integration of upstream dams at Lake Mendocino and Lake Sonoma, summer dams at Healdsburg and Guerneville, tidal influences, County water flow decisions and drought conditions. River water is generally clean and safe to swim in, tested frequently by the County. However, if River-based water activities are in your plans, please use caution and search for the Sonoma County Health Department’s most recent recommendations for safe river use on the Sonoma County website. We cannot guarantee water conditions, or river levels, river access or frontage conditions at any time of year in any location. Photos of the River are not necessarily representative of the conditions concurrent with your stay.

-About the Dock: USE DOCK AT YOUR OWN RISK. *See above for potential seasonal availability. This dock is a pier type (fixed not floating), so the dock is always in place, but water level can vary significantly, high when the downstream dams are installed (typically late June to mid Sept) and once the rain starts, low heading in and out of summer. When available, access to the river is a ladder off the side of the pier to either water (when the river is high) or riverbank (if the water is low). Boats must be carried up the ladder and locked on top of the dock when not in use or they may sink and/or get trapped under the dock with the rising and falling water level. We check the boats on each departure to make sure they are left on the dock. If we have to haul out a boat from under the water because it was left in the water, there may be a charge.

-About the Boats: USE BOATS AND BOATING GEAR AT YOUR OWN RISK. *See above for potential seasonal availability. We provide two adult and two child life vests; additional can be purchased in Guerneville. All watercraft and equipment should be returned to their original locations and secured after each usage. Number and type of boats may vary. B.Y.O.F (bring your own floaties). See dock description above as it impacts boat use.
