Shangri-La is a beautiful remodeled riverfront home with river access to a community beach across the street, a double kayak, two single kayaks, umbrella, chairs and inner tubes. With a large hot tub, woodburning fireplace, central heat, high-speed Internet access and unlimited domestic toll and long distance telephone service, this home offers a full range of amenities for all seasons. Two decks offer loungers for everyone as well as a charcoal barbecue, a fenced lawn and an outdoor shower. The back entrance to the home involves just a few steps, making the house accessible to guests who cannot climb many stairs. The kitchen has a full range of gourmet equipment, including a double oven, cuisinart and ice cream making machine.
Sleeping ten, Shangri-La has a master bedroom with king bed and daybed with trundle, a second bedroom with king bed, and a third bedroom with queen bed. The living room includes both a queen sleeper and a queen futon. The king beds and the queen bed can be divided into twins, providing a total of ten sleeping spaces, ideal for working or recreational retreats and larger groups of singles. The great room provides plenty of room for ten people to congregate and there is a dining table seating ten as well. There is an over-sized Jacuzzi tub in one bathroom and a combination tub/shower in the other bathroom.
In fall, winter, and spring, Shangri-La offers end-of-the-road tranquility and quiet. In the summer, from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, this area becomes a lively family vacation destination known as Summerhome Park. Along with free outdoor movies three times a week, children's arts and crafts classes, and Saturday night parties at the Lodge for adults, the Lodge offers beer, wine, ice cream, a pool table, and games. There will be a calendar of events and activities in the information binder in the home. All the activities are available for guests at Shangri-La and guests will find this summer community to be extremely friendly and fun, a nostalgic return to the simple recreational days of the 1950's.
Shangri-La is located at the end of Summerhome Park Road, around five minutes from a major wine-tasting area. Downtown Guerneville is a tem minute drive and, of all our large homes, Shangri-La is the closest to Santa Rosa and Healdsburg. There is hiking out the door, as well as wonderful biking and running routes from the house.
Please note: Dogs are not permitted on Summerhome Park Beach. If guests separate any of the beds at Shangri-La, they will need to make up those beds with appropriate linens for their stay, wash the extra linens, and re-attach the beds before they depart.
