The Viking House-Charming Riverfront Home Breathtaking Views Amenities Starlink

The Viking House at Jenner is the perfect getaway for one to two couples who want to rest and play on the Sonoma Coast.

Located in the small town of Jenner, Sonoma County, California, our riverside house boasts river access and a quiet, yet central coastal location perfect for river, ocean and wine country exploration. Numerous activities abound nearby including kayaking & boating, beaches, wildlife viewing, hiking, golf, wineries, gourmet restaurants and much more! Whether you are looking for the perfect place to curl up with a book or to experience the bounties of California wine country, you'll find it here!

Why stay here and not elsewhere?: We believe that details make a difference, so we supply several complimentary extras to add to your enjoyment of the property. There will be a bottle of local wine and chocolates, seasonal decor, and what you might need to enjoy a day at the beach. We include beach bags with towels, mats, and frisbees. Also, special occasion extras upon request.

The Viking House is a prime location to enjoy the Sonoma County coast. While Bodega Bay is often foggy and grey, it's been our experience that Jenner generally gets more hours of sunshine, even in the winter. Although it's not unusual to see fog in the mornings in all four seasons, the weather remains pleasant throughout the majority of the year. In summer, it's bright with warm sun, but, with gentle ocean breezes, it remains much cooler than inland areas.

Russian River: Kayaking and canoeing are some of the best ways to experience the river. Just down the street from the house, you can rent a kayak and experience a whole different perspective of the town and the surrounding hills. Paddle around Penny Island, go to Goat Rock beach or get up close and personal with birds and seals fishing in the mouth of the river. When you get tired, you can bring the kayak up to shore at the house and rest before heading out again. Once you've explored the areas around Jenner, you can head upriver to Duncan's Mills and Guerneville where you can also rent equipment to enjoy redwood views in slower moving waters. For more details about the area and our home, visit our website, see link below.

Bodega Bay: A visit to the bustling fishing community of Bodega Bay will be a highlight of your stay. On the way, you can stop at a variety of beaches, including Shell beach, one of the best places to explore wildlife in Tidal pools and study interesting geological rock formations. When you get to Bodega Bay, exploring the shops, art galleries and fine restaurants is a pleasant way to enjoy the area. Also, many coastal adventures can be arranged. You can book and rent gear for all kinds of fishing and watersport outings, including deep sea fishing, whale watching (in season), surfing and more. Horse lovers will enjoy riding on the beach through Chanslor Stables. Golfers will relish memorable views while hitting a round at Bodega Harbour Golf Links, an 18 hole Scottish links style course. Film buffs will enjoy taking a short drive inland to the town of Bodega where Alfred Hitchcock filmed the classic movie, 'The Birds.'

The property was great - incredible location overlooking the Russian River, access to kayaking at the property, extremely well-stocked kitchen, nice decks. The owner did some nice treats for our birthday celebration. We would highly recommend this property and would come back again.

4 th of July
In July we get away from the fireworks, for the dogs. This year we also got away from the triple digits at home - yuck! Location was great. I walked down the street' rented a kayak cruised around the island and docked at the house. Bodega is super close, it was crazy busy ( made me thankful we were staying in Jenner) and Blind beach is not to far for the dogs. Thank you for sharing the history of the home, I really enjoyed the stories. Kim

We stayed for over a week and enjoyed the fabulous view on both sunny and rainy days. The setting cannot be beat. The house afforded us the opportunity to cook — great fish is just up the road. The wood burning stove warmed up chilly mornings. We enjoyed our stay. .

Relaxing stay
Nice property with beautiful view of the river and ocean. Walking distance to small downtown. Dog friendly. Nicely stocked kitchen. Clean. We enjoyed our stay and will likely return. Only drawbacks were it was not walking distance to the beach and owner's canoe wasn't available for use (legal issue).

Anniversary Trip
The split level home was beautiful and the scenery was gorgeous. We could spend hours on the upper deck watching all of the wildlife. We enjoyed our time equally between the colorful towns and scenic beaches, riverways, coves and the charming home we could come back and relax at. We enjoyed great seafood as well as purchasing some more from local markets and making them in the home's open kitchen. We would definitely return and would even liked to try seeing more seasons at the Viking House.

Perfect Spot To Enjoy The Coast
We've stayed here several times (and will continue to do so). It's the perfect spot to enjoy everything Bodega Bay and Jenner have to offer. The house is clean, comfortable and well-stocked. Beautiful view of the Russian River and Pacific Ocean. Seals frequently seen swimming directly below. Start each day with a quick walk to Cafe Aquatica for a coffee and fresh-backed pastry. Short drive to Goat Rock Beach for a leisurely stroll. Beaches in the area are never crowded. Perfect spot to relax.

Great Getaway in Jenner
Overall the stay was awesome. The location is great and the accommodations were just what we needed. The only issue was that we (Jenner) lost power the first night and I had video meetings set up for the next morning that I could not take. With no cell service, I had no way of letting anyone know. Was just something I had not prepared for. The landline wouldn't work either because it uses a powered base. I was able to drive far enough inland the next morning at 6am to get one bar of service to text the owner and also text a few people that I had no power. I later found out this is a common occurrence in the area, so it is best to prepare for that to happen next visit. Otherwise, everything was great.

Outstanding Location
What a view! So comfy and relaxing. Kitchen is more well-stocked than most. Kayaking and fine dining are walking distance. It was great weekend with my bestie and her two Frenchies. We BBQd and did puzzles and we all piled in the huge fold out in the living room and watched movies and ate popcorn. Just the relaxing time we deserved! And, even though it is a Norwegian Viking house she still let me stay when I told her I was Swedish! Very nice owner.

Just perfect ... that's all
Absolutely perfect for a stay-cation (we live an hour away), or anybody who wants some quiet time by the ocean and Russian River. Not a ton to do in Jenner, but that's the point. Bring some books, some wine and cheese, and hunker down. Diane was the consummate host. Very responsive and accommodating. p.s. if you're a foodie, don't forget to make reservations at River's End (a five minute stroll away)!

Wonderful Deck Overlooking the Russian RIver
My husband and I had a fantastic two weeks hanging out on the deck at The Viking House. We slept on the pull-out upstairs in order to wake up to the magical morning view. The location is perfect for exploring the wonderful hiking all along this part of the coast. The photos don't show the full bathroom downstairs. It has a shower with a shower stall that has a great flow. No neighbors were staying while we were there so our experience was ultra-quiet. We even saw seals swimming by on some mornings. Many touches of magic abound in and around this house...
