We absolutely loved this home and very much enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious and had plenty of room for our family of 6. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub daily. The hosts were very communicative during our stay to make sure all was well. The beds and sheets were very comfortable. They had everything we needed during our stay. Location is excellent and very close to Main Street. Thanks to the wonderful hosts for sharing their wonderful home!

THIS HOUSE IS THE BEST

I do not wish to expound too much on this particular house because it will rent more frequently and I know we want to come back. It is a gem. The pool, the house itself, the kitchen has every little thing. There are three 'very large bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Large living room and dining room add to the charm. We really never left the property except to buy groceries.

Perfect Get-away!

We had a wonderful time at Casa Boho. The house was spacious and clean and had everything we needed or could want in the kitchen. But....the backyard is what really made the vacation great. The pool, hot tub, bbq area with a pizza oven, so many spots to relax in sun or shade with great seating options. We had a fabulous time! Thank you Chris and Lisa!

Perfect family spot

This place is a perfect family spot. The pool is great for the kids. The hot tub is fun. Grill for outside. Great location close to hiking and the river. We didn’t even get a chance to take advantage of the pizza oven but we will if we stay here again. There were some small issues from normal house stuff and Chris was super helpful, very responsive. Great host.

Garden paradise

A lovely, comfortable, spacious house with fabulous amenities. Very considerate hosts, detail oriented and quick to respond. The garden was lovely, with croquet lawn and beautiful flower beds around the apswimming pool, and more sitting areas than one could ever desire. Kitchen was great, supplemented by the outdoor wood fired pizza oven.

Backyard Paradise

Chris’ home is hands down one of the top VRBOs we have ever stayed in. The inside is absolutely beautiful and the outside stunning. There are so many places to spend time outside. He is so kind and responsive. Honestly, we could not have hoped for a better weekend getaway. We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to stay and look forward to next time.

One of the nicest VRBOs I've stayed in

Where to even start with Chris's place - immaculately clean, great location, well-appointed (grill, hot tub, heated pool, fire pit, PIZZA OVEN??), well-decorated, I could go on. The pictures don't do it justice - there's even a nice hillside view from the backyard. Chris is lovely and responsive, and our dog had an absolute blast chasing balls in the backyard. We'll be back!

Beautiful getaway

This place is fantastic! Very well appointed and the hosts have clearly put much thought into anticipating needs every step of the way from the bathrooms to the kitchen to the indoor and outdoor conversation zones with blankets at arm's reach. The back yard was immaculately landscaped, private, with an abundance of seating and relaxation options. Last but not least, the bedrooms were very spacious and the beds were wonderfully comfortable. The hosts were very communicative, friendly, and very easy to contact. We very much hope to be back soon!

Lovely Home

We definitely enjoyed our stay at this lovely property in Guerneville. The house is VERY well stocked - everything small detail was thought through to make guests feel welcome (pool towels and toys, tons of firewood, well stocked kitchen). The home has tons of amenities. The outdoor space is really beautiful and relaxing. We sat around the fire every night, and my kids enjoyed the pool, hammock, and all the various outdoor spaces.

A Little Paradise in Wine Country

The house is filled with eclectic items and furniture that made it feel very homey. It has all the amenities you need to cook and serve a meal with a great kitchen. But it is the backyard that seperates this property. Featuring a pool, hot tub, pizza oven, barbecue grill and firepit there is seating for at least 30 people among a beautifully landscaped yard. Great place for a large group or family!

Lovely Home in Guerneville

This property is gorgeous! The pictures don't do it justice. I wish we could have stayed longer than a weekend and hope to visit again soon. Everything is fully stocked. Main Street is only a 5-minute drive with restaurants and a big Safeway. The outdoor living is amazing! We could not have asked for anything better. It was perfect. The hosts are super attentive and kind.

Boho Paradise

We loved our stay here. It was likely my favorite cabin/house rental experience to date. Here are some highlights: - Super approachable and sweet owners, answered all of our likely dumb questions before and while there! - The place was not only spotless, but super stylish and lovely in a Boho motif. - Super child and pet friendly - my cat George had the time of his life and didn't want to leave. - Pool & Hot Tub were amazing and perfect - they even heated the pool for us for a little extra $$ and we swam in FEB! - Location is great - much to do. So much more, just loved it a lot - def plan to go back! Thank you to Chris & Family.

Didn't want to leave

I stayed at this beautiful home with my family over spring break. We had all of these plans to be out and about during our trip but loved the house so much we stayed there most of the time. Chris was so quick to reply when I was booking the home and took time to answer all of questions in advance. There were thorough instructions communicated for check in/check out as well as how to enjoy all that the home has to offer. My 13 year old daughter and 10 year old son loved the pool and we also enjoyed the hot tub. My favorite part was how quiet it was and how beautiful the backyard was. I woke up early each day so was able to enjoy coffee on the couch looking out the huge windows into the gorgeous yard. Bedrooms are large, comfy beds and bedding and lots of room. So many different sitting areas both inside and outside. Well appointed kitchen. The house is super close to the little downtown area, Safeway and anything you may need. We made the 30 min drive into Healdsburg one day for lunch and shopping. We look forward to booking again in the future!

A Perfect Weekend

This place was perfect for our weekend getaway with our family--two grandparents, two adult kids and their significant others, and our 18 month old granddaughter. The backyard is heavenly and the floor to ceiling windows provide a tons of cheerful natural light that brings the outdoors in. We used the pizza oven and spent a whole morning on that labor intensive, but rewarding activity. The kitchen was thoroughly equipped with everything you could need, including the espresso machine we have at home. The beds were comfortable and there were several options for little kids to sleep in the room (floor mattresses, pull out couches, chaise lounges etc.) One thing to note is that there is beautiful full bathroom upstairs with the bedrooms and another full bath/laundry room combo downstairs off the kitchen. Just keep that in mind in case you're expecting an ensuite. Overall, this place is completely wonderful and we can't wait to escape the city during the summer months to get full use of the wonderful outdoor space. The hosts were so communicative and helpful. You can't go wrong staying here!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Burmester and Lisa Etherington

Host profile image
We love the west Sonoma region of California and love to host people in our beautiful home in the heart of region. Spending half our time in San Francisco, California, we love to escape to the beautiful wine country to cycle, hike, swim, boat, and enjoy the scenic beauty and incredible wines and food this area of the world has to offer.

Why they chose this property

For us, this home combines nearly the perfect combination of a rural wine-country feel with views of wooded hills and vineyards, while being sunny, private, and quiet and only a 10-15 minute stroll to town and all the bustling activity of the historic Russian River resort area. The house itself for us combines the best of mediterranean wine country feel with high ceilings, spacious rooms, artisan-crafted wooden doors and hand-hewn beam ceilings, and black-smithed hardware and masonry walls all with a modern, mid-century feel. The furnishings are comfortable, modern eclectic style with lots of room to spread out and get comfortable for you and your guests.

The house spills effortlessly into the surrounding backyard for the best of indoor/outdoor living.

What makes this property unique

It's rare to find a place like ours with the sun and openness. Our house is both private yet has views and is close in to town.
