We've been renting with RRG for more than 13 years--and stayed in 3 properties over that time:…read moreBabbleOn, Easy Days, and Dreamweaver. Since the produce & fish/meat here is so good, we moved away from staying in B&Bs to renting from RRG so that we could cook for ourselves. Each property has a distinct personality and feel--a small change in location can make a big difference here in the amount of direct sun, fog, hot or cool, or how isolated or centrally located you feel--so do your research or just ask the helpful folks at RRG (Julz has been particularly helpful about selecting a new property for different needs). Some houses have lots of steps (it's hilly here), some have very sunny decks, some have river access with kayaks or canoes and/or docks, others are in the redwoods which tends to be cooler. Kitchens also vary--most are well-appointed and all have standard appliances including a gas grill. If there's something critical for your holiday, make sure the place you choose has it (i.e. hottub, river access, dog friendly, redwood shade, etc.). Yes, they do ask you to clean out the frig and take out your own garbage & recyclying. There are laundry machines so you can wash clothes and also towels if you need clean ones during your stay--it's what the Brits call "self catering"--not a hotel, right? We like the privacy and DIY dynamic. BabbleOn: We stayed here in March many years back because we thought it would be a little sunnier in the wet season. The brook is lovely right next to the house and the house is bright and good sized; we used the gas fire a lot and only got one day on the small deck because it was so wet. Good well appointed kitchen. It's in old Cazadero--which is a trip to drive through--narrow roads up the hill through redwoods with lots of houses and then it opens out and you're there in a pretty neighborhood. Dreamweaver: stayed with 2 friends and it could easily suit 6 people with enough space for some alone time for all. 3 good bedrooms--the coolest is in the downstairs w/its own deck. BOTH decks get a lot of sun this time of year (late July)--so the afternoons were a little warm (heatwave for the area, that means 80F+)--which meant we spent time swimming in the river and on the dock or in the shade around the firepit in the backyard. Beautiful gardens and really well-appointed kitchen and also everything you could need for river fun. Do note that the river is deep on this side--as it over an adult's head, so if you aren't a strong swimmer, do use the life vests in the back shed (paddles watershoes even suntan lotion was all there!). There's not much current though--it's quite calm and about 2/3 of the way across you can stand on a gravel shelf. No hottub, but we didn't miss it. EasyDays: small, more rustic, up the hill in the same neighborhood as Dreamweaver. Good for 2 people--not for more with 2B/1Ba. Kitchen can be hit or miss if you're a serious cook--but visitors leave implements they bought behind, so there's always a new surprise (dough cutter and rolling pin this year). The deck surrounded by redwoods is the star attraction. LOTS of stairs and the steepest driveway you've ever seen.

We found this place online. We were looking for a hotel with…read more2 beds for 2 nights. After seeing the pictures and reading the description, we booked the room. There is a no refund policy, which means you cannot cancel your reservations. This place is very expensive, more than what we wanted to spend. With it being summer, peak season, and no other rooms within 75 miles, we had no options but to take it. The place is very old, very very old. They said that they newly renovated. The repainted, put in new linoleum floors, super cheap beds, they are really cots with a soft matress put on top, they are not real beds. They give you a child size table and 2 child size chairs to sit on. A mini fridge, which is okay, and a very tiny microwave. They do not do yard maintenance, even though they say it is more natural and organic and better for wildlife, and to save water. They said the mow every 2-3 weeks. There are huge rosemary shrubs in front of all of the rooms. They are overgrown and should be trimmed, your view is blocked. There are a few plastic tables and Adirondack type chairs out in the field, but nothing near your room if you want to sit outside. There is a nice pool which they lock up every night at 7pm, so your family has to get out at 7pm. The bathrooms are small but come with towels, etc. They have hair dryers, soap and shampoo. We had a few issues our room, I reported it to the 800 number, whom told the manager. He called me and we discussed the issues, and said thank you, that he was unaware of those issue and he will fix them. I was satisfied with my conversation with the manager, he was very professional and understanding. Thank you Xavier. This place is next to Northwwods golf course. There is a restaurant at the golf course. Next door is a little cafe with good food. It is quiet and peaceful here except for a few noisy tenants. $320 per night is way too much for this place. See photos. It should be no more that $129 per night.

Our 5-people place was very comfortable and very nice with a fireplace. We appreciate the convenience, close proximity to great places like Saucy Mama, cafe in Guerneville, and of course the River!

The apartments are in desperate need of updating. They need to update the furniture, add…read moredecorative pillows, update the dark cabinets in the kitchen, and get rid of the ugly brown carpet. Also, requiring guests to talk to the salespeople in order to get a wristband is not okay. We have been owners for over 20 years. If we want to buy more points we will. The salespeople make me feel uncomfortable so I avoid going into the lobby, or getting the wristband. I use only my key to go to the pool. The desk clerk said that if I don't have a wristband we may be stopped at the pool by security who will ask for our wristbands. I have my key card, why do I need a wristband? I think it's because they want us to sit through the sales pitch. Very annoying and contrived. The pool was very murky. Otherwise, I like the location. It's close to Healdsburg with great restaurants. Windsor is also super cute and the Sunday farmers market is fun.

Each of the Guesthouses is impeccably decorated, cozy, and welcoming. From the beautiful redwood grove at The Trees to the incredible outdoor dining table at The Hills. Each house is uniquely dreamy, nestled in the picturesque town of Occidental. Barbara is truly the most wonderful, kind, and welcoming host. She attended to every single detail to ensure that our wedding day was perfect (even down to wiping off benches after the beautiful morning mist cleared). She is a dear friend and really makes every visit extraordinary. We know we will continue visiting for years to come. While you stay in Occidental, you MUST get food from the Union Hotel. Between visits, my husband and I dream about Garlic Gold pizza, carrot cake, and the best minestrone around. The pizza crust is to die for- fluffy and just the right balance of perfectly browned. The slice of carrot cake is literally larger than my hand and maybe even forearm! Super rich and velvety cream cheese frosting- amazing! We have visited Occidental once during COVID and the Union has an excellent picnic style menu. The food is ordered outside and nicely packaged for take-out or eating at a table in their distanced outdoor area. As someone who has strictly adhered to distancing and other protocols, I felt safe and comfortable! Highest praise for the Occidental Guesthouses and Union Hotel! A must visit for anyone who loves cozy accommodations, excellent food, and the most welcoming environment.

We had the misfortune of cancelling our reservation, which was done 3 weeks prior to our stay only to wake up to a nasty message that we did not cancel and further insulted us with a comment of causing him to lose money. I strongly recommend the proprietor check his email messages timely and regularly and accept his own responsibilities if he plans to remain in business. Do yourself a favor and stay at a nearby hotel. At least they know how to properly conduct business!

Stayed here for one night, and there were some great things about the hotel, and some things that…read morewere lacking. As for the positives, the rooms are all very clean, spacious, and comfortable with amenities like kitchenettes and seating areas. The building is also a very short walk to the downtown square with plenty of shopping and restaurants. There was also a nice common space that had continental breakfast items for grab and go. However, I found that some of the customer service was lacking, and this was very dependent on who was behind the front desk. We had one person who was pretty unhelpful and got annoyed when we asked about accessing parking or if they would be willing to hold bags behind the desk, but when we came back later, there was a different person, and they were very helpful. In addition, this isn't a resort, so they don't have amenities like a gym/pool or dining onsite, but that's expected. I would probably stay here again based on the rooms and location. It's a great option for a longer, economical, comfortable stay.

Parking was 25 dollars over night but there is also metered parking on the streets. Lots of bars and brew pubs in the area as well as a card shop next door which I enjoyed. Definitely would recommend if you're stopping for the night and enjoy extra room and very nice and kind hotel staff.
