“The Lily Pad Exceeded Our Expectations!” One word: wow. My family & I were incredibly excited to stay at The Lily Pad after looking at the lovely photos of the property online. But wow, when we arrived it was even better than it looked in the pictures. I've never stayed at a property that is as thoroughly maintained as this place. Clean from wall to wall, with every ammenity you could possibly want & need. Great family vacation home!! This will be a staple home away from home from now for myself & my family. Thank you Lily Pad!

“Little Red House” We had an awesome experience. We would pick this cabin again. It's very nice, cozy and clean. It's a great location, close to the River and BodegaBay. This home is very well taken care of. Property mgmt team are professional and very helpful. Thank you everyone!

“Adorable Cottage in the Redwoods” We loved the little cottage in the redwoods. It was clean, comfortable, and lovely. The stove heated up the place quickly and you could open the windows to cool the place down quickly. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, and there was a wonderful stereo if we wanted music, or a tv and dvd player when we wanted to watch a movie. The only difficulty with the property is the location. It's in a neighborhood of cottages/cabins on a very very steep hillside. We took our car that is a manual transmission and it was no fun navigating the small streets at very steep angles. Just bring your small automatic car! Otherwise, a beautiful location and place to relax.

“Wonderful Cabin in the Redwoods” The cabin worked perfectly for our week in the Russian River area. Clean, quiet and very convenient to the numerous things to do in the Russian River Valley. Thank you Stace!

“Best place to stay with a large group” We had the best time staying at the two side-by-side houses in Russian river. We have 6 families and way too many kids =) The layout and set up of the houses was perfect. The downstairs play rooms for the kids was ideal. The park-like backyard and easy access to the river made this place one of the best we have ever stayed at. In addition, they have everything you could ever need during your stay from the Bbq's, well stocked kitchens to the canoe and kayak's. We will definitely come back.

“Great RRV Getaway -- Quiet & Remote, yet Conveniently Located to” We rented this updated house for Thanksgiving.We were a party of 6: grandparents,adult children & 2 grandchildren.We stayed in the downstairs, and the kids and grandkids stayed in the upstairs 2 BR with one large bathroom (with jacuzzi tub, shower stall & sauna) and a separate 1/2 bath.The house itself has one large living & kitchen area, with an eating bar,upstairs,with a second living area and kitchenette downstairs, which has an additional exterior door). We did not realize that the upstairs & downstairs aren't connected "inside"-you have to use the outside stairs to go from one area to the other. It's not a big deal and it provided a bit of separation from the noise and commotion of the kiddos.Overall,the house updated: updates in the kitchen,bathrooms,downstairs,central heat, Wifi,etc.Yet very comfortable and quaint with electric fireplaces (no wood burning),views of the redwoods from every window & large outdoor decks.The decks wrap around the house and provide privacy if you choose to use the hot tub or sit outside and enjoy the porch views of the trees & the RR. With latching gates at the top of the stairs, it was safe for the 3 yr old.The kitchen is a bit tight,but it is fully equipped with a nice frig,new gas range,new dishwasher.We cooked a full Thanksgiving dinner(always a challenge in someone else's kitchen),there were plenty of dishes,utensils,service wear, pots,pans,etc.The upstairs:full bath and half bath are adjacent to the living area.The upstairs beds are very comfy,with nice furniture and finishing.The sheets and towels are all very new and fluffy.The primary bathroom is huge, with a large Jacuzzi and the separate shower.The bathroom has a zen vibe-very relaxing.The half-bath is convenient with a crowd.We walked down the steps to the river,enjoyed the scenic fall views of the RR.Fun!The owner was delightful to work with & gave us plenty of info,good directions.Very helpful!

“Difficult to reserve, but beautiful property” We recently stayed at the Jimtown house with 2 other couples. We had a great time enjoying the lovely house. The hard work came before when trying to make the reservations. We found the property management to be polite, but irritating. They sent a 12 page contract with an ridiculous amount to signatures required. They didn't answer repeated questions and the payment process was very unprofessional. They asked for my credit card information through email. They require you to open a special account to pay for the security deposit. It has been 2 weeks and I haven't seen my deposit returned yet. They require you to pay a cleaning fee of $200 and then ask you to clean the house before you leave. We had to empty waste baskets, sweep and remove linens from the bed. The house itself is beautifully furnished and very clean. It is close to the road so there is road noise, but we loved the surrounding and the gardens. The irrigation to the garden in back was out of order so we hand watered the trees and veggies because they were literally dying. Hopefully the owners were alerted and fixed it because the garden is great If the management company were different, I would have given 5 stars, but they need to revamp their system to make it easier for their clients to rent the house!

“Sea Breeze in the Fog” No problem with the fog, but a little more sun would have been nice. Would have liked a view, but overall, very nice. TV only worked in a bedroom/den, so of no value when that room also served as a bedroom. This should be fixed to work in the living room area. Good parking. Very clean and served our sixsome nicely!

“Great time!” What an incredible home, and I mean home. It felt like you walked into your own home, comfortable, great kitchen for the family feast, with a dining room table that all 10 of us could enjoy! Weather could of been better but hot tub was a treat! Absolutely a great place to stay...manager where super helpful! Do it!!

“Our favorite place to relax!” We have visited Breaking Waves four times now - it is a great place in a wonderful location.

“very nice” The property is on a hill above the beach,it is peaceful and bright. The kids enjoyed the open plat space and the pool table.

“Gorgeous Sea Glass” Incredible home,exquisite views,couldn't have had a nicer time with our 4-generation family vacation!!

“Magnificent Views” Overall wonderfull home though a bit dated. Magnificent views of Tomales Bay Dillon Beach and Pacific Ocean with Wonderfull sunsets.Great Grassy hillside in back of residence for kids to play. Only negative was uncomfortable twin beds in the downstairs bedroom.
