Forestville, California
Russian River Vacation Rental
Location:
In fall, winter, and spring, Shangri-La offers end-of-the-road tranquility and quiet. There is hiking out the door, as well as wonderful biking and running routes from the house. 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. This home is also very close to world class wine tasting on Westside Road, and downtown Guerneville's dining, shopping and nightlife are just six miles away. Of all our large homes, Shangri-La is the closest to Santa Rosa and Healdsburg.
House:
Shangri-La is a beautifully remodeled, comfortable home with lots of light. The great room provides plenty of room for ten people to congregate, in front of the wood burning fireplace or at the large dining table. The living room includes both a queen sleeper and a queen futon. Off the living room, there's a sitting room with TV and stereo. 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 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. There is an over-sized Jacuzzi tub in one bathroom and a combination tub/shower in the other bathroom.
Grounds:
The deck has loungers for everyone as well as a charcoal barbecue, a fenced lawn and an outdoor shower. There is river access to a community beach across the street, a double kayak, two single kayaks, umbrella, chairs and inner tubes. The back entrance to the home involves just a few steps, making the house accessible to guests who cannot climb many stairs.
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.
