Description from manager
Description
The Enchanted Forest property features two 4 bedroom, 4 bath homes situated on three acres of riverfront property. The two spacious homes, Contente and Culture Blend, offer sleeping accommodations for 28 people. Each home features a 3 bedroom main house, a separate 1 bedroom suite, 2 kitchens, a recreation room and a spa. The main living spaces offer high ceilings, hardwood floors and a large open living/dining room. The fully equipped kitchens come complete with new appliances and breakfast areas. Many of the rooms, including both living rooms and 6 of the 8 bedrooms, feature glass doors leading out to large decks facing the river with outdoor dining and gas grills.
Both homes offer large garages with recreation rooms. Culture Blend has a pool table, ping pong, foosball, air hockey and video games. Off the patio is a spa with a gazebo. Contente has a pool table, ping pong table and a spa on the patio above the yard.
Enjoy excellent access to the Russian River from this riverfront property. Fishing, swimming and boating opportunities await just a short walk away. To access, walk down the custom rock stairway and across the tree-filled lawn to the short path leading to a large river beach. During the summer months, 2 boats are included (1 canoe and 1 kayak).
Know Before You Book:
Maximum Occupancy and Quiet Hours: The maximum occupancy at Enchanted Forest Estate is 28. Quiet hours are from 10:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. Outdoor amplified sound is prohibited at any time.
Parking: On-site parking is permitted for a maximum of 8 vehicles. RVs, trailers and campers are prohibited, per the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance.
Bed Sizes:
Culture Blend: Main House: First bedroom: King bed; Second bedroom: King bed; Third bedroom: King bed; Living Room: 2 Extra Long Double European style sleeper sofas
Suite: Suite bedroom: King bed; Suite living room: Double European style sleeper sofa
Contente: Main House: First Bedroom: Queen Bed; Second Bedroom: Queen Bed; Third Bedroom: Queen Bed; ; Main Living Room: 2 Queen Sofa Beds
Suite: Suite Bedroom: King Bed; Suite Living Room: Queen Sofa Bed
Heat Source: Both homes have central gas heat. The recreation rooms have small portable electric heaters.
A/C: The houses do not have air conditioning. Being near the coast, the night time temps drop and just opening some windows is usually enough to cool the house.
Location: The Enchanted Forest Estate is located approximately 1.5 miles east of downtown Guerneville on River Road, a busy two-lane road that connects Guerneville to Highway 101. Due to double wall construction, there is very little road noise inside the home, as well as on the back deck and lower lawn area.The driveway and front staircase face the road. All outdoor living areas are shielded from the road by the home, natural surroundings and a 10-foot high privacy fence (at the front of the property only). The neighborhood is a mix of residential and commercial. Neighbors include full-time residents, a local pub, a deli, a self-serve carwash and a gas station/mini mart. Be aware that though there is a visual privacy, the carwash can be heard when in use and noise from the pub may be heard. We have had very few mentions from guests about either of these establishements. Please contact our office if you have any questions about the proximity of the road or any other questions about the property. Members of our staff have stayed at this property and loved it!
Additional Amenities: Both homes provide televisions in the bedrooms and living rooms. Recreation room items: foosball, pool table, air hockey, ping pong, arcade basketball, karaoke and video games.
Summer Rotation Day: Monday
During the Peak Season, which runs end of June through August, Enchanted Forest Estate has a 7 night minimum and rents on a Monday to Monday pattern. If you make an online reservaton outside of this rotation day requirement, we may contact you about altering your dates.

Please note that there is an annual event, the Russian River Beer Revival, that happens around the third weekend in August. This is a weekend event at the brewery immediately next door to Culture Blend. The event has live music, a BBQ cook-off, and a lot of people drinking beer. It will be loud on the Friday and Saturday of the event. The exact dates of the event will be listed on the Stumptown Brewery's website.

Response from the manager Hello! We're so glad you enjoyed Culture Blend and Contente! They are a perfect pairing for a larger group like yours. When they book together as The Enchanted Forest Estate, they sleep up to 28 people including sleeper sofas. Each house has a hot tub and game room and plenty of room to run around in the back meadow! I hope we'll see you again soon! Megan Perkins Russian River Vacation Homes

Response from the manager Hello, We're sorry you didn't enjoy your stay at the Enchanted Forest Estate when so many folks this summer have had a great time! And we appreciated you calling the office immediately upon discovering items in the dishwasher. We were surprised and let you know that you were welcome to leave the dishwashers full upon departed as a result. And we offered to send a cleaner over to put away the dishes as well. Unfortunately, through the busy summer months guest move kitchen items in the cabinets and they don't match the photos every time. But, the kitchens in the suites and main units for both homes are fully equipped for the number of guests staying in each unit. The suites are set up for only 4 guests each and the main units sleep up to 10 people. And we provide dishwasher tablets under the sink for each unit... I know I'm used to looking for a different shape container at my house! All of our homes are photographed, very honestly, and each bedroom shows the furniture. Some owners prefer a less cluttered, minimalist decor but the bedrooms do have multiple nightstands, chairs and other spaces for luggage. We also list all the specific beds and sofa beds on our website, so folks can see how they want to split up the group. The Contente hot tub was treated during your stay, but it did not require a drain and clean according to the service tech. And the hot tub at Culture Blend is working. We are able to send cleaners, spa service folks and other people out to homes when there are issues to be resolved. Each of our homes also has a page by the front door (or on the fridge) and a home binder that describes exactly where to find the linens for the pull out sofas, extra supplies, how to use the hot tubs and additional information. If a guest can't locate the binder in the house or has additional questions, we welcome a call to the office so you can have a great stay! Megan Perkins Russian River Vacation Homes

Response from the manager Hello! What a great review - thank you! We wish the car wash were just a hair further over too, but then the brewery (Stumptown Brewery) would be a longer walk too! On the other side of Stumptown, there is a new brewery called Tavern McHugh's that makes their own sodas too, for the younger crowd. Again, thank you for sharing your experience with future guests! :) Megan Perkins
