Good to know

Named after our pampered pooch, Rascal’s Flat is a true escape from city life. This charming, quaint hillside retreat has been lovingly renovated, comfortably furnished and tastefully decorated. The outdoor space is the true highlight, where you'll relax on the deck or soak in the hot tub while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding Redwood giants. Rascal's Flat is an ideal space for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, remote working, or a wine tasting weekend with friends. You will have full and private access to the entire property during your stay. The spacious master bedroom is located on the lower level of the main house. It sleeps up to 2 adults and has a plush king bed, ensuite half-bath, large walk-in closet and 42-in TV. The room is equipped with blackout blinds and a white noise machine, so you're sure to sleep like a baby. And if you bring one, there's a pack-n-play available, which can even be set up in the walk-in-closet for added privacy. A second bedroom (aka “little house”) is detached from the main house, located just up the hill. This room very comfortably sleeps 1 adult, or cozily sleeps 2. It has a full-sized loft bed and 30-in TV. There is no bathroom in the little house - guests will need to use the full bath in the main house. The living room of the main house can serve as a third sleeping area. Like the little house, it is ideal for one adult but can sleep 2. The sofabed has a full-sized and very comfortable memory foam mattress; the living room also has a 42-in TV. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need to cook up delicious meals, including the basics like cooking oil, salt & pepper. The adjacent dining area seats 4. Just steps away on the main deck, you’ll find a gas grill, cafe seating for 2, and lounge seating for 4. The main deck is where we almost always dine, relax and entertain. Spend the evening cooking up dinner or relaxing and playing board games on the deck under the trees! In the little house, you’ll find a Peloton (bring your shoes!) and workout area, complete with yoga mats, a weight bench, and a set of adjustable Bowflex dumbbells. The hot tub is just outside the little house and comfortably holds 2. Spend the day wine tasting, hiking the coast or kayaking the river, then come back for a soak! Planning on remote working and/or learning during your stay? Rascal’s Flat has a workspace in the master bedroom; there is high-speed wifi internet access throughout the entire property. For entertainment, there are board games, puzzles, a record player and more. Most TVs have an Apple TV connection to stream all your favorites. For the adventurous, we have 2 kayaks you’re welcome to use (you will need the appropriate rack for your vehicle to transport). There's a lovely walk/hike you can do without even getting in your car, and several other wonderful hikes nearby as well. We have a newly installed Tesla charger that uses a NACS plug. Please plan to bring appropriate adapter for your specific vehicle. For example, CCS1 plugs for Tesla charger. If you leave the property to explore the local area, you'll find fabulous restaurants and abundant activities all around. We'll be happy to recommend our favorites! Rascal's flat is located: - 1 mile from Russian River Beach Access - 2 miles from Guerneville/Main Street - 2 miles from Northwood Golf Course - 4 miles from Armstrong Redwoods - 5 miles from Korbel Winery - 12 miles from Pacific Coast/Jenner - 20 miles from Healdsburg Plaza We adore this home and love to share it with our friends and family. We have remodeled and furnished it with love and relaxation in mind, so we hope you will love and respect the home and property as much as we do. We’re excited to have you stay with us soon!

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

Nestled in the Redwoods, Montesano Heights is a hillside neighborhood in Guerneville. You will find a beautiful loop walk/hike you can take directly from the house up Santa Rosa Ave then onto Duncan road connecting to Old Monte Rio road and back. Beautiful tree and river views await you on this approx. 30 minute walk.

Guest Access

Rascal's Flat is located one mile off River Road. This last mile is along a curvy and narrow hillside road. The road is paved but bumpy and steep in spots. Once you arrive, there are 2 designated parking spaces right out front. Additional street parking is scarce, so plan to carpool. RVs, trailers and campers are prohibited, per the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance. Guests will need to be comfortable walking up and down stairs to enjoy this property. Once you park, it's about 30 steps to reach the main house or 45 to reach the main house deck. The main house has keyless entry to ensure seamless access.

This was our second time to Rascal’s Flat, and it won’t be our last. We live in San Francisco, and Guerneville is the perfect locale to escape and bustle of the city for a few days. What we love about Rascal’s Flat is the coziness of a mountain cabin, plus the updated, thoughtful amenities or a boutique hotel.

We loved our stay! The location was private and quiet, and the house was spotlessly clean when we arrived. We appreciated the clear instructions and guidebook provided as well. We’d happily stay again or recommend to friends. Thank you!

Had great time staying at Rascals Flat. This place was so cute I wanted to pick it up and take it with me. Well equipped with everything you need and nestled right in with the beautiful redwoods. As long as you’re not a afraid of small mountain roads or stairs I would highly recommend this place. It also had a great selection of board games and records that kept us entertained through the rainy nights.

My wife and I just got back from 4 peaceful days at David’s place. He was consistently responsive, and was super helpful when we had to change our dates slightly. It’s a magical beautiful home, and the bed was wonderful!

We had a great time at Rascal’s Flat. The location was the best part for us. Guerneville is amazing. So many great restaurants and things to do. We fell in love. The bed was comfy, everything was spotless. We didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub but it looked great. The house is tucked away in the redwoods. There was coffee in the morning. Would love to come back.
