This is the view from the deck of the rental unit. There are two neighboring homes visible from the deck - both way down the hill, thereby affording privacy to the deck and adjacent yard.

Here is the first structure you see as you approach Sunset Manor - the upper unit's garage with two big redwood trees.

A street view of the building. The stairway in the middle takes you down to the lower rental unit as well as to the upper owners' unit.

This is the entrance side of the rental unit. To the left is the door from the living room to the deck, with the fabulous views of the redwoods.

The garden behind the garage, as viewed from the deck outside the unit.

Our rates are shown on another page.  As I write in October of 2009, I can say we've experienced a very successful season - we've had guests almost every weekend since June.  When we started this business in June of 2008, it was a hope that we could pay the bills.  Well, that didn't happen in 2008 - but we're very happy that in 2009 we are able to continue!  Over the past several months, we've had really great tenants, and none we wouldn't want to serve again.

We have great comments from our guests on our two listing websites - VRBO and HomeAway.  I didn't know what lengths these sites go to ensure that the comments are honest until I got into it !  We can respond (and we did on one HomeAway comment), but we cannot change what people say.  We are most grateful for the positive comments.

For 2010, we're asking for a very modest increase in rates, so for next summer we'll be at $140/night.  Also, our cleaning fee will be $30, regardless of the number of pets or people (actually, it takes the two of us at least 3 hours to get ready for the next tenant!)

Guerneville is a small (2500 residents) community about 20 miles west of Santa Rosa and 15 miles east of the Pacific Ocean, and located on the right (north) bank of the Russian River.  It is a tourist town in summer, having a number of resorts and beaches along the river, nearby wineries, and state parks.  There's swimming, canoeing and kayaking, golf, horseback riding, theater, and nightlife.

We've found that some of our guests are happy just to enjoy being away from the everyday pressures of home, to lay back, and enjoy doing nothing (and I can tell you, there's a huge pile of “nothing to do” in my living room!) with a fire in the fireplace and the wonderful views outside.

Sunset Manor has also been a place for extended families to come together.   It's wonderful when parents and children no longer living at home can be with each other with minimum responsibilities just to enjoy being with each other.

Public transportation to Guerneville is the Sonoma County Transit #20 bus from Santa Rosa, Forestville, and Sebastopol which makes 8 trips on weekdays and four on Saturday and Sunday.

For those driving, Guerneville is located on Highway 116 which is also River Road (and Main Street in Guerneville).  While Google Maps, MapQuest, and Yahoo Maps all show the area well enough (Google Maps has some incorrect street names), they provide very bad directions.  If you are planning to visit Sunset Manor, be sure to get the directions from us!
