Disliked: Cleanliness
We enjoyed our stay at Villa Mimosa mostly for the location and for the yard and deck. The house was nicely situated, however, it needed a GOOD cleaning. Bedding had spots, bottom sheets were not fitted so they were always a mess. The kitchen sink facet was broken,refrigerator handle on left side is broken, lights constantly flickering, and major dust behind furniture. Dining table needed a tablecloth so you didn't have to look at all the scratches and stains.Overall, a good cleaning, updated sheets, some nice dish towels and a tablecloth would have made a big difference.We enjoyed walking to the beach and walking with our dog around the neighborhood. Neighbors were nice and friendly. With as much as we paid for our stay, I expected a cleaner cabin and better supplies.We would stay again only if we knew that the cabin had had a GOOD cleaning in between guests. The cabin needs a lot of TLC.

Fun!

Upside: Convenient location, super close walk to river access, roomy hot tub, BEAUTIFUL scenery, great weather and backyard very peaceful! Downside: Not ada friendly (stairs to everything), lacking cleaning supplies (scrubber for dishes?), and avoid the recliner as it's broken. As much as people wrote in the guestbook "lots of insects" we did not have any issues, however it is possible that it is slightly haunted. We had a great time, and would recommend.

Peaceful Winter Weekend

We stayed for 3 nights in February. Nice cozy home for our family of 4 and 2 dogs. We appreciated the large yard for the dogs. The hot tub was great for a dip at night. The neighborhood was great for mornings walks with the dogs. There's a new playground very close which would be great for little kids.

The house is clean and cosy and the yard is lovely to hang out in. Super kid friendly. Beach and river access an easy walk. Downtown Guerneville a five minute drive away with lots of options to eat. Neighborhood is quiet (some construction noise on weekdays but we weren’t bothered. Hot tub was a wonderful way to end the day.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Not a good experience

The house has a very old-musty smell that was bad enough I left 2 days early and rented a nice hotel. The first 2 dishes I used had food on them so I washed everything before using it. The furniture is cheap and hard. The best part is a very nice yard. I have rented several properties over the years and counted on premier host ratings. I will now look for how many ratings to be sure what I'm getting. I didn't report the problem until I left and the only response was that I should have called before leaving. Mold/Mildew smells can't be fixed in a day and I was worried it was unhealthy.

We got much needed rain most of the week

The house is beautiful inside and outside options are to sit in the backyard or the patio on the upper level. Nature needed the weather we had but it limited our outdoor activities considerably. Foosball and hot tub were often used and home is where good WiFi is ;-) In fact the WiFi is excellent with download speeds >150 Mb/sec you can do Zoom meetings, watch TV-Shows and browse the Internet all at the same time. A main reason to select Villa Mimosa was the dog-friendly setup. Many dogs will walk by the property but the backyard is fully fenced and if you have a dog, this is really great. In terms of eating out, we had breakfast at the Northwood Gold club restaurant, excellent! Not good for an early breakfast though, check their opening hours! In Guerneville, the restaurant "Brot" was a huge disappointment in terms of food! Not authentic German, overpriced, tiny portions. If you want to go there for a German beer, you might have better luck than going there for German food. The Russian River is about 5 minutes walk away but it was waayy too cold to go in. Overall a relaxing week with outdoor activities limited by frequent rain showers and temperature 20F below average for the time of year (mid-April)
