Outside Inn-Newly Renovated, Open Layout, Large Yard, Walk to Beach, Spa, Kayaks

Outside Inn is your own personal mini-resort & play-land that sleeps 10 guests comfortably. Come enjoy a very private & magical property to share some unforgettable memories with your family and friends.

Inside and out, this modern, spacious, and recently fully remodeled home is designed for your comfort and enjoyment. Step out to a private deck, hot tub, gas grill, and an outdoor living and dining area overlooking the peaceful and large backyard and pristine redwood forest. A canopy shades half the deck if you want to read or watch the clouds slide by on a warm afternoon, or recline in one of the lounge chairs if you’d rather work on your tan. The lush backyard is a private world unto itself, surrounded by Russian River fauna yet with enough open space for a game of soccer. Walk a short trail of less than 100 yards through redwoods just a half block from the house to the huge neighborhood beach where you can spend a hot summer day swimming, lounging alongside the river, or taking the house’s kayaks on a river adventure.

Two Flats & Two Cottages
The Outside Inn is a comfortable home with two separate-entrance modern suites, each with two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen. There are also two cozy cottages on the property: one is the perfect fifth bedroom and the other is a serene studio that can be used for meditation or as a child’s play room.

Upstairs Flat
Featuring the main gathering area of the home, the fully remodeled upstairs flat has a large lounge with a media center and comfortable sofa seating, large chef’s kitchen with everything you need to prepare a gourmet meal and a huge amount of counter space, dining seating for eight, and two queen bedrooms and a bathroom. Sliding doors in one bedroom and the kitchen lead to the private deck with outdoor-dining seating for 10 or lounge areas where you can enjoy your morning coffee.

Downstairs Flat
The recently fully remodeled lower level flat features a private entrance, fully equipped kitchen perfect for creating breakfast or coffee, bathroom, family room, and one queen bedroom and one double bedroom.

Bedroom Highlights
All bedrooms feature comfortable beds with down comforters and high-quality linens and are quiet and spacious, with bedside tables, reading lamps, and ample storage space in dressers and closets.

Bathroom Highlights
Bathrooms are modern and clean with comfy towels, and a hair dryer in each.

Upstairs Lounge Highlights
After a day’s long adventure on the river and a perfectly grilled dinner, gather your family and friends in the lounge to enjoy movies, sports, or TV shows on the 50-inch High-Definition TV. Open your Netflix or iTunes account to watch thousands of movies and TV shows. The TV is also equipped with a DVD player, over 250 channels via Comcast, and a DVR so you can record your favorite shows while on vacation.

Innside Out Cottage
A romantic cozy cottage-bedroom getaway located down the garden path through the backyard. With a double bed and sink, it is the perfect fifth private bedroom.

Backside Inn Cottage
Located toward the back of the yard, this extra-cozy cottage is a serene and private spot for meditation or a child’s play or nap room.

Special features
* Two self-contained flats with two bedrooms, a bathroom and kitchen each.
*Two additional cottages; one is a bedroom and one is a small meditation retreat or child’s play room
* A gas fireplace in each apartment for cozy and romantic evenings
* State-of-the-art media options including two 50-inch HDTVs, Apple TV, DVR and NFL Sunday Ticket, DVD player, Netflix and iTunes access to thousands of movies and TV shows.

* Fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, gas stove, wine refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave, ultra-quiet dishwasher, full set of professional-quality pots and pans, non-stick fry pans, full set of cutlery, and any accessory you would need to create your edible masterpiece.
*Home has recently been beautifully renovated including the outside deck, which also features new modern teak furniture.

Location
Away from it all but close to everything, Outside Inn is less a 5-minute drive from from downtown Guerneville and its great restaurants, shops, and festivals. The Outside Inn is minutes away from more than a hundred wineries and just 25 minutes drive from the spectacular California coast and the marine-life refuge of Salt Rock Beach. Spend a few hours whale watching on the coast or hiking amidst towering redwoods in nearby Armstrong State Park. Or just relax on your private deck while you spend quality quiet time with your friends, family, and yourself.

Another relaxing stay at Outside Inn
Our friend group loves this property, its river accessibility, the kitchen and especially the big back yard with its big table and beautiful surroundings. We were happy to see that the owner has sanded or refinished the table outside since our last visit. We enjoy playing table games and it was perfect.

Excellent river home!
We loved staying at this home! The proximity to the beach was phenomenal! The kitchen was well equipped. The bedrooms were comfortable. The backyard was fantastic and well suited to family bbqs. You could easily fit two families here with room for an extra friend/couple or teenager. My kids enjoyed the foosball table and the pee wee golf joint nearby. We would love to return!

Excellent home for reunion
This is our second time in this house and 2nd time was even better bc parts have been upgraded. Main house and in-law are clean and nice. Plenty of heating sources (which we needed). We didn’t use hot tub but it looked nice and clean. Beds are comfortable. A minor suggestion would be to upgrade some of the pans and to have a working light over the countertops for cooking. Thanks again.

Good price and location
Place was well located, parking was easy. Cleanliness was OK, but bottom unit wasn't as clean. There were also some dishes and sheets that were dirty upon arrival. Can't get from bottom to top unit directly without going outside first. Thst isn't a real problem unless it's raining or cold (which unfortunately it was).

We are return vacationers to the Outside Inn and we will be back again. We love the backyard, the nearby beach, and the hot tub. There are friendly neighbors around and there is so much to do in Guerneville. We used the Kayaks every day! Thanks so much to hosts for opening their peaceful retreat to renters!

Good for Our Gang
The property worked for the nine of us (4 adults, 5 kids) and our dog (a Lab). Easy walk to the community beach on the Russian River and 2 kayaks were available for use. Also a nice hot tub on the property. Backyard was fenced and very private, and gave the dog a place to run around. All in all, a very good fit for our group.

We enjoyed our stay at this property! Great location close to the river and not far from downtown Guernville. The house is nicely updated inside and the outside has a cabin like feel. Nicely separated up and downstairs units and loved the outside small cottage. This property has everything you need; bbq, spa, hammock, big open space in backyard with beautiful deck and plenty of seating areas. We would love to come back when the kayaks are accessible at the river May-Sept! The owner Achim was quick to respond to questions and made us feel welcomed.

Birthday wine trip
We had a great celebration for my daughters birthday and lots to do and see in the area. The house was well stocked with everthing needed for our chef to cook a birthday dinner meal. A very comfortable home. We werent able to use the cottage outside for sleeping as it was too chilly and one person slept on the couch instead. My only suggestion would be a sofa bed in case its needed. Also some plug in outdoor string lights for the back yard as the solar lights were not working. There is a beautiful lemon tree on the property. I have never tasted better lemons. We enjoyed our stay.

Our party of eight found the property to be very charming. Kitchen was indeed very well equipped and we used it a lot. The separate entrance for the downstairs bedrooms lend it a bit more privacy which was nice. All in all I’m sure this property would be wonderful in the summer with some sun. It rained most of the time we were there and we still enjoyed the hot tub and had a good time touring wine country and beyond.
