About Sydney's Retreat
Your grown-up treehouse is waiting! Perched among the redwoods, Sydney's Retreat is a dog-friendly 2-bedroom retreat for 6 with a private hot tub, multiple forest-view decks, remodeled chef's kitchen, paddleboards, and river floats. Spend the day on the Russian River, hike Armstrong Redwoods, or explore Sonoma Wine Country, then retreat to the treetops for BBQ and a soak beneath the canopy. Perfect for couples, friends, girls' getaways, small families, dog lovers, and nature lovers.

Why This Home Stands Out
Sydney's Retreat feels like a private hideaway suspended among the redwoods. Multiple decks bring the forest into your stay, while the private hot tub, chef's kitchen, paddleboards, and river floats make it easy to move between treetop relaxation and Russian River adventures. The elevated setting adds privacy and beautiful canopy views.


Living Spaces
A wall of windows fills the bright, comfortable living room with natural light and beautiful forest views.
The single-level interior makes it easy to move between the living spaces, bedrooms, and decks once inside, creating an inviting home base after days on the river or exploring Wine Country.


Kitchen & Dining
The remodeled chef's kitchen offers a stylish, well-equipped space for cooking at home, with breakfast-bar seating and dining for four.
Fire up the gas BBQ and take dinner outside, where the surrounding redwoods turn an everyday meal into part of the getaway.


BEDROOMS & SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Primary Bedroom — Queen Bed
A comfortable Queen bedroom with private ensuite bathroom.

Guest Bedroom — Queen Bed
A welcoming second Queen bedroom surrounded by the peaceful forest setting.

Additional Sleeping — Sofa Sleeper
Provides flexible sleeping space for additional guests.


Bathrooms
Two full bathrooms serve the home.
The Primary Bedroom includes its own private ensuite bathroom for added privacy and convenience.


Outdoor Living
The multiple forest-view decks are at the heart of the Sydney's Retreat experience.
Start the morning with coffee among the treetops, spend the day exploring the Russian River, then come home for a BBQ and dinner beneath the redwood canopy.
As evening settles in, slip into the private hot tub and enjoy the quiet, elevated forest setting.
River Fun
Paddleboards and river floats are included, making it easy to add a little adventure to your Russian River getaway.
Head out for paddleboarding, floating, or swimming, then return to your peaceful retreat in the trees for a well-earned hot-tub soak.


GOOD TO KNOW
Sydney's Retreat is perched in an elevated redwood setting, and there are significant stairs from the parking area to the home.
Guests comfortable with stairs are rewarded with the treetop views, added privacy, and tucked-away atmosphere that make this retreat so special. Once inside, the home's interior is single level.


ENHANCE YOUR STAY
Make your Russian River getaway even more memorable with:
Private chef experiences
In-home massage therapy
Concierge services
Fresh-baked goods delivery
Early check-in / late check-out when available (for a fee)


Explore Guerneville & the Russian River
Sydney's Retreat feels wonderfully tucked away in the redwoods while keeping the Russian River, downtown Guerneville, Sonoma Wine Country, and the Sonoma Coast within easy reach.
Russian River — Paddleboarding, floating, swimming, kayaking, and laid-back river days.
Downtown Guerneville — Restaurants, bars, coffee shops, art galleries, and local shopping.
Armstrong Redwoods — Old-growth redwoods and scenic hiking trails.
Sonoma Wine Country — Wineries, tasting rooms, vineyards, and farm-to-table dining.
Jenner & Sonoma Coast — Beaches, wildlife, fresh seafood, Pacific views, and Highway 1 adventures.
Approximately 1.5 hours from the Golden Gate Bridge, traffic permitting.


Book Sydney's Retreat
Spend the day paddling the Russian River, hiking beneath ancient redwoods, or discovering Sonoma wineries, then climb back into your own private retreat among the trees. Fire up the BBQ, settle onto a forest-view deck, and finish the evening with a hot-tub soak beneath the redwood canopy. Sydney's Retreat isn't just surrounded by the forest—it puts you right up in the trees.

Place was beautiful. Fully stocked like a home would be. Only complaints were there were a lot of ants and it would have been nice if it was more baby/childproof, especially with the glass and knives in the drawers and the stairs.

What an amazing cabin! Absolutely beautiful and exactly as described. The hosts added so many unexpected touches that were really appreciated. Beds were so comfy and the hot tub was perfect. We also loved the second deck to hang out and have a glass of wine and coffee! This cabin is up 4 sets of stairs which we had no trouble with but just pointing out in case stairs are a problem for you. Guerneville was also unexpected with restaurants that served tasty food. I highly recommend!

The perfect redwoods treehouse

They were not playing when they mentioned they’d be a lot stairs but the privacy and views were absolutely worth it. Everything about the house and location were perfect. The hosts were also easy to get in contact with and incredible friendly. We wished our stay was longer and will absolutely be back in the future.

Wonderful spot

We really enjoyed this place. We've staying in short term rentals in the Russian river area before and this one is our favorite so far. Clean, beautifully appointed, nice treetop vistas, nice hot tub, very dog friendly and good communication from the management company. Very nice creek across the street as well. 2 thumbs up.

Nice quiet spot

Clean, updated house nestled in a green forestry setting. We enjoyed the hot tub while relaxing outside. The property is down the street from the river.(chairs and tubes provided) Two min drive to Safeway. Bodega Bay is close by in one direction, and wineries such as Korbel are close in the other. We had a good time. Thanks!

Coziest cabin!

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! The biggest pro is how secluded it felt being up in the trees while still being close to town. It rained during our stay but we still enjoyed the hot tub and how well stocked the kitchen was. We did have issues with the Apple hub device which controlled the outdoor lighting and had trouble communicating with property managers due to not having service. Owners offered to come in person to fix but we declined due to it being our last day. Would definitely stay again!

Great cabin in the woods

Sydney’s river retreat is an amazing cottage/cabin hidden in the hills and trees. There are a few stairs to climb to get into the property but reviews had let us know this ahead of time so we came with bags prepared to walk the short walk up. We arrived in the dark later in the evening and the stairs are on a timer which helped us see in the dark. The property was very clean and tidy and the kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could need. There is a Safeway not far away for anything you may have forgotten. We also used the bbq which is just outside. The bathrooms were clean each bathroom has a shower, toilet and sink. Both balconies are beautiful in their own right and we really enjoyed sitting listening to the stream and birds in the morning and sitting in the hot tub on the other. We did have an issue but the property manager was very quick to come help. After a long day hiking we really appreciated the quick response time. There are so many state parks close by and the beach is only 20 mins down the road we loved exploring everything it had to offer and would love to visit again in the future.
