Great place to stay on the Russian River…read more Not far from the 101, and even closer to the Pacific Coast Highway and Jenner. Cute Inn, each unit has a fair bit of privacy, and most have their own decks. There is also a grassy lawn that leads right to the river, with hammocks and picnic tables. Some seats to lounge in. Very dog friendly - we had a medium size dog and that was no problem. There were some kayaks there but we did not get to try those out. The room itself was basic but clean and comfortable. The staff were really nice. Definitely would love to stay again, no complaints at all!

The manager treated us very poorly, saying all sorts of bizzarre things to my 8 year old daughter and I. He refused a refund although we had not used the room at all and had booked last minute, five hours earlier that same day at noon. First he said he couldn't refund without his employer's permission. I requested he ask the owner and he behaved very angrily and asked if "You want to be my boss? Will you pay me? Buy my food, my bread, my roti?" It was absolutly bizarre and such an obvious show. Finally I went and knocked on the owner's door, a nice lady who lives on top of some of the units and she offered a refund immediately. The manager is not doing his job maintaining the property and, when I mentioned there were none of the normal postings about fire safety, hotel licensing, etc., he accused me of using my "big city power to beat up on small business" advising I should go beat up on a corporate hotel. After he finally refunded my one night stay and we were driving away, he actually yelled "Get the F%&k out!", taking a picture of my car while we drove away. I am in Guerneville a dozen times a year and I have never experienced anything so sketchy.

We looked for a hotel with reasonable rates that was pet friendly. We found Hotel Dega. This hotel…read moreis transitioning from being an Airbnb to a hotel. The rates for 2 days depending on what day you make the reservations and the month- week of your stay can be from $450-$650. The other hotels in the area can be $1,200.-$1,600 for the same 2 days. Luis, the manager at the front office, provided us a warm welcoming and he gave us a tour of the property. We liked Luis for his good customer service and his honesty. Yes, there a few things that weren't perfect, but as long as it was functional and still in working order was ok with us. You will see photos from other reviews , and they have made improvements and/ or corrections based on those complaints. For example, our dinner table had some bubbles on the top in the paint. It was still functional and we ate dinner using the table without any problem. Their TV system is set up for streaming. The bed was comfortable and the master bedroom was nice with a big screen tv and dressers for him and her. The lighting system is limited, but there's room for improvement. Our room came with a refrigerator, stove, microwave and keurig coffee maker all functional. I spoke with Luis and I gave him some recommendations how they can improve the property. Luis took my recommendations by writing them down. This location has great views of the bay. And it's close to everything. Plenty of property to walk your pet and they have a pool table and a swimming pool for some fun. this hotel has a lot of potential and as long as they continue to improve their property, this will be a great place to stay. We will be back in the future.

Overall I would say my gf and I had a wonderful and pleasant experience at Hotel Dega. As a 3-star…read moreboutique hotel actively working to rebrand/ update itself it suited our needs but could still use some work/ minor tweaks and adjustments. We recently spent 6 days there celebrating our 2 year anniversary! I booked one of the bigger luxury suites with them that had a king size bed, wall fireplace (electric not gas), free standing bathtub and an oceanside view. In no particular order here are my suggestions/ critiques: - As one of the only pet friendly hotels in the area (we brought our dog with us) you should have bowls for food/ water and a bed already in your pet friendly rooms. I had to ask the front desk for a bowl. - Toilet paper and tissues should be abundant with multiples of each already in each room. 2 small packs of tissue and three rolls of toilet paper isn't enough for two people. I had to ask the front desk multiple times for more toilet paper and tissues (mildly embarrassing for me as a guest but also a hassle and since I was on vacation I feel like I shouldn't have had to). - The free standing tub is too small (could only fit one of us) and awkwardly shaped (super deep but not long enough to spread out). The bathroom in this suite was easily big enough for either a two person free standing tub or even a jet tub. Also because it's free standing there was nothing underneath it to catch excess water/ overspill resulting in water all over the bathroom floor. A pan underneath the tub or something similar would have helped. Great idea in theory and a nice luxury amenity/ aesthetic but practically it doesn't really work. The wand feature it had was a nice addition as well as the wooden tray for soaps, a glass of wine, etc but gets in the way of the spout so we ended up not using it. - The bathroom was pretty big with space for a closet as well (which we didn't end up using) and I think that space could have been utilized better by having an additional rack or table for storage, not only there but in the bathroom itself (more often than not I had to move things to the counter where the sink was because that was the only usable space off the floor). - The vanity/ countertops should have had two sinks installed instead of only one. - The towels could have been better quality. - There were shallow scratch marks on the floor and walls. - The mini patio off the hotel room was a nice addition as well but the small table and two chairs on it were in rough shape (slightly rusted, peeling paint, and no cushions on the seats). - No complimentary breakfast but there is a small Keurig coffee machine in the room, a microwave and a mini fridge. If you're not going to have a complimentary breakfast at least consider partnering with some of the local cafes and restaurants that do serve breakfast (offer a slight discount and send them customers). - The on-site amenities are bare and lackluster (a common room on a second floor with places to sit and chat, play pool/ board games, watch TV, bird watch or just watch the bay/ sunset/ sunrise), an outdoor and gated jacuzzi/ space area and a water/ ice machine. All of these require leaving your room (the hotel itself is made up of multiple buildings/ outdoor spaces, it's not one giant building). These are all in my opinion simply suggestions/ ideas to consider to bring that sense of luxury to your hotel and to your guests. However, overall it was a wonderful experience that just missed the mark in terms of what I consider a "luxurious experience."

Loved my stay and I will go back. Hopefully many times.

I checked in to one of their rentals 4 days ago and walked into a myriad of things that had just…read morenot been cleaned. I reported it right away and someone came out. We walked through the house and grounds. The couch smelled like mildew and dipped down in the middle, they'd left a dirty/orangey dish rack half cleaned just laying outside on a table next to a dirty paper towel and the cleaner, dust everywhere, pile of old bags under a kitchen island/chopping block. I started cleaning up bags and underneath was dusty and dirty and floor under that hadn't been cleaned at all...crumbs and stickiness on chopping block table, dog poo and trash in yard. Old bag and receipt on desk... it was like it had been half cleaned which was ridiculous because it was like 700 sq feet and no one had even done a sweep of the yard at all. The inspector and myself discussed lots of options. One he presented was a " febreze" of the mildewed couch and a vacuum of the unclean kitchen tile, which i found unacceptable. He did offer a clean the next day, which I had needed some time to think about, due to trusting his promise of that, the inconvenience, having to stay the night in a dirty house, and what that actually meant to this company. We discussed alternative lodging which I decided against asking about at all the next morning after going over the reviews here on Yelp and realizing there was no guarantee that any of their properties would be well maintained. I had used my entire summer savings (I'm a teacher), had my dogs and all supplies packed in the car, my family was planning a visit. Honestly, the location was great, the cabin was cute, and the yard would've been lovely. The listing promised an "enhanced clean" due to covid-19 and I had been counting on that to feel safe during this time. Even a thorough clean would've sufficed. I left about an hour after I checked in, which I would have NEVER done if I had felt at all comfortable with the situation at all, having no guarantee of a refund or a satisfactory resolution. I had emailed and called the night before and emailed again in the morning, deciding that the state of the place upon my arrival was unacceptable and I requested a refund. I had also taken some time to look at the Yelp reviews here which I should've done before I booked. I had relied on the listing reviews and my trust in Airbnb. The only response I got was from Star L., who is the one who has also responded dismissively to several of the bad reviews on this site, was that I should cancel the reservation and we'd proceed from there. There was no apology, no attempt to salvage my stay or reassurances from her about a future enhanced clean, or any kind of refund for my inconvenience or the failed check in. I canceled as she requested, hoping that would expedite my refund. She then responded that the inspector told her that the place was perfectly clean and he thought I just didn't like the place. She offered me a partial refund if they could re-book it. She told me that since I had asked about other accommodations when the inspector and I were trying to salvage the situation that meant I didn't like the place. I had never once expressed that I didn't like the place, to him, to her, on a voice mail or in writing. I was floored by Star L.'s response. The inspector saw the unclean parts of the house and garbage in the yard. He acknowledged them when speaking with me. He told my brother in law over the phone the next day that he had spent an hour an a half cleaning the place the day after I had left. It became a case of he said/she said. Ignoring that, I had pictures of the spots I had immediately reported to her and to Airbnb. She acknowledged none of that. I was told that no one believed that the place was unclean, and in so many words called a liar. You don't know me, she doesn't know me, but I'm not a liar. I had no ulterior motives. I would've given anything to have avoided this stress. I had even started cleaning up the place on my own before I discovered more and more areas that had been skipped by their cleaning crew. Airbnb is busy right now but I did get a hold of them. and they made things right by finally giving me a full refund, not Russian River Rentals. I think it's quite clear that this company has terrible customer service. Star L. dismissed me, her customer, as I've now seen her do in response to quite a few unhappy reviews on this site. No one should have to go through this with this company, especially during a time like this. It looks like some people have had quite nice experiences with their stays. But if you have an issue, I would strongly advise you to document everything as thoroughly as possible. Based on my recent experience, this company is untrustworthy, does not support or validate their renters (in my case, it was implied I was a liar several times) and takes no responsibility when it comes to dealing with any issues that may arise with your stay.

This review relates to a stay at Seaton Hill House 10/29/11 for 5 harrowing nights…read more First of all, we requested the address for this home in advance so that we could map it. Russian River Rentals refused to give us the address until they had received payment for the entire stay. Secondly, and most importantly, the roads leading up to the "Seaton Hill House" vacation home are dangerous, unlighted, treacherous drop-offs which are barely passable. When we arrived the first evening, due to the traffic build-up on IH101, it was already dark. Even with the best directions, the road to this house is confusing, to say the least and it would not be an exaggeration to state that the road conditions threatened our lives. One of the passengers was forced to evacuate the vehicle and vomit. Every passenger in the car was in terror. We circled around and around the mountain, adding to the growing stress in the car, because there was no lighting to show us the number on the vacation home, and it was impossible to see (five people with great motivation to find it were unable to spot it). We passed it up several times, each time in more despair that we were going to be victims of the tiny dirt road with its twists and turns and its sheer cliffs. When we finally figured out by process of elimination regarding the neighboring addresses, finding it only after backtracking several times, in exhaustion and shot nerves, we realized that the only way to park was to back up a slanting gravel driveway. The driveway was pointed in each direction toward sheer drop-offs, as well, and was paved with dirt and gravel, which caused our vehicle to slip and slide. A mistake of only a few inches would have ended in a vehicle crash and injury to the driver. Once we exited our vehicle to bring in our luggage, we realized that the house was not fitted with any ramps and so we had to bring our luggage up many stairs which were built into the high sides of the hill. We had someone with emphysema with us, as well as the person who vomited out of fear and was so anxiety ridden that she was quite ill. My boyfriend tried to bring up everyone's luggage himself, as the only other male with us was the guest with emphysema. I took pity on my boyfriend and helped him carry the luggage part of the way, although afterward my back and neck were in pain. Once we entered the home, it became evident that the photos of the home on the Russian River website were deceptive, as was the description of the home and that not everything about the home had been disclosed. The photos caused the rooms to appear larger than they actually were and the kitchen was described as "gourmet" although there was nothing "gourmet" about the smallish kitchen. In addition, the sunroom has a floor that slants to one side. The bedrooms downstairs underneath the sunroom area had floors which also slanted, so that when you are in bed, you feel the bed slanting downward. The following day after our arrival, part of our vacation was spent in the emergency room in Santa Rosa at Kaiser. The person who had been made sick by the ascent up the mountain was still sick. She and her husband were forced to spend the greater part of the whole day in the emergency room treating the condition which was brought on by the road we had to travel each day. She was forced to take medication to alleviate the condition. There was no warning about the road conditions in the information posted on the Russian River Rentals website. I believe it was foreseeable that these roads could cause people to become ill when trying to travel them and potential guests at Seaton Hill House should be warned in the description of the home on the Russian River Rentals website. On Sunday evening, October 30, we attempted to grill dinner on the patio grill. The grill does not work. All 5 of us returned from our vacation much more stressed than when we left for vacation, due to the misleading and undisclosed conditions which we encountered

We booked two nights and managed to make it a whole 30 minutes before turning around and driving home, all the way back to Sacramento. The website (and a myriad of social media posts) sell a charming riverside camping experience. Reality? Imagine campsites packed so tightly together that you can practically borrow your neighbor's toothbrush without leaving your chair. The separation between sites appears to be measured in inches rather than feet. The glamping tents and tiny cabins on-site are also crammed together like someone lost a game of campground Tetris. Privacy is apparently considered an optional upgrade. As an added bonus, there was a large homeless encampment under the bridge crossing the Russian River right next to the tent camp sites. Along with it came the sounds, smells, and general atmosphere that definitely weren't featured in the promotional photos. The lodge rooms looked tired, run down, and in desperate need of some love. Calling this place "rustic" would be doing some Olympic level stretching. We arrived excited for a relaxing getaway and left 30 minutes later feeling like we'd been catfished by a campground. All of this, in addition to the cold reception of a locked lobby office door, and weird looks from sketchy people wandering around the "beach and resort". Yikes. 10 out of 10 would recommend... driving right past it. Save your money, save your vacation, and don't let the website photos or influencer posts fool you the way they fooled us.
