About this property

Adorable Bonne Chere! Hot Tub, Dog Friendly, Walk to the Russian River!

Bonne Chère is, as its name suggests, the ideal spot to kick back, relax and enjoy the good cheer and splendid food and wine that Sonoma County is known for. After a day of trolling for tasty finds (perhaps a new favorite bottle from a family-owned winery or a creamy goat cheese made near the Sonoma Coast or the freshest picks from one of the various farmer's markets), imagine relaxing with a good book and a glass of wine in Bonne Chère's comfortable living room, cooking a feast in the gourmet kitchen, lounging on the spacious deck or taking a soak in the private hot tub.

Inside Bonne Chère, guests will find the home both delightful and modern. The kitchen is stocked for even the pickiest cook, and includes stainless steel appliances, gas stove, dishwasher, beautiful wood cabinets and tile, and a wine fridge. The living room has a large television, stereo (there is a CD collection available for guests), gas fireplace and ample seating. In both bedrooms, the beds are exceedingly comfortable and made with high-quality linens. The bathroom has modern tile work and a walk-in shower with a window so guests can admire the redwoods and lush hillside while showering (a window curtain can be closed if desired).

Outside Bonne Chère is an extension of the living space. There is outdoor dining, outdoor seating, a gas grill and a private hot tub area. The property continues to wrap around the house to a 'secret' sitting spot, perfect for enjoying a locally roasted cup of Joe or stargazing with a glass of wine. Tucked against a hillside in a Guerneville neighborhood, Bonne Chère feels like its own little private world. Although there are neighbors to both the left and the right, the landscaping around the house and the hillside behind the home provides redwood views and privacy. The upper yard is mostly fenced, but not dog-proof!

Bonne Chère is located in a Guerneville neighborhood a walkable distance from downtown Guerneville. Shops, restaurants, supermarket, river access and services are all within a mile of the property. The Sonoma Coast is 13 miles. Armstrong Redwoods is a 5-minute drive. Wineries in the Russian River Valley and beyond

Relaxing in the Redwoods
Bonne Chere provided the perfect getaway for my husband, dog and me. Literally everything you would ever think of needing was provided. Everything was in great working order. The hot tub had a small issue but the property management team took care of everything right away. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice Vacation Rental in Guerneville
Our family of 3 enjoyed our stay at Bonne Chere. The beds are very comfortable and the house is well stocked with everything you could need. We especially loved the hot tub and outdoor spaces. The extensive DVD collection was nice to have as well. Although we were in Guerneville during some hot days (in the 80s) the house stayed cool as it’s in the shade of redwoods. The neighborhood is eclectic/funky as is the town of Guerneville. The location was central to enjoy much of the area’s great road cycling routes, which was the main goal of our visit. The shared bathroom was not a problem for our family but may be awkward for non-family groups. The rental process was very easy and I would rent the property again!

Beautiful and Charming
The cottage was beautiful, peaceful and very nice. We enjoyed the outdoor space and spa. The indoor space is bright and warm with all the amenities needed. The location was ideal to outlets such as Bodega Bay and Healdsburg. The neighborhood was a bit run down but we just stayed in the beautiful hide-away and took advantage of the privacy.

About the host

Hosted by Russian River Vacation Homes

Host profile image
We are Russian River Vacation Homes, a part of D&G Equity Management, Inc., a family owned and locally owned/operated property management company.

Our Story:
In 1980, D&G founders and owners Michael and Patty saw a need in the area for habitable, affordable housing. At that time, many of the little cabins along the Russian River, originally built as summer cabins, were unsuitable for year-round occupancy. D&G assisted property owners with fixing up and renting their cabins. As the largest property management company in western Sonoma County, D&G Equity Management continues to be a staple in the Russian River community.

Russian River Vacation Homes is an off-shoot of D&G. One fine day in 1985, Michael's client, Bob, asked "Hey Mike, can you rent my cabin out just for the week or weekend instead of by the month?" Michael said "Sure!" and Russian River Vacation Homes was born. As renting vacation rentals became more popular, Russian River Vacation Homes grew into a full-time business with its own office. Today, Russian River Vacation Homes professionally manages over 60 high-quality vacation rentals.

We strive to make each and every stay the best one ever. If you have any questions or concerns about reserving or staying with us, please don't hesitate to contact us! We are here to help.
