Grandma's House: Riverfront, Gorgeous View, Beach/Swimming/Canoeing Dog Friendly

Located on historic riverfront property formerly known as Angelo’s Sandy Beach Resort, now known as Grandma’s House, Beautiful redwoods, sun and fun on the river, proximity to the coast and wine country, and the feeling of being far away from the city. There is an award-winning 9-hole golf course nearby, redwood parks for hiking, and many fine Sonoma county wineries and restaurants in close proximity but there's really no reason to leave Grandma's property! Grandma's House has seven large rooms including a very large kitchen, a large living room with fireplace, and a games room. Three bedrooms have King beds, one with a queen bed. there is also a sofa bed in the game room, 4 full bathrooms (en suite). Grounds include 1.25 acres of lawn, garden, redwoods, and two separate beach areas. A large two-level deck wraps around the back side of the house overlooking the river. Other amenities include a pool table, standup video arcade game with 10+ favorites such as pac-man, galaga, space invaders frogger etc, a closet packed with board games, video and book wall libraries, a piano, accordion, tamborine etc for the musically inclined, a stone fireplace(wood shed stocked)., and huge hot tub for your enjoyment. A canoe, two kayaks, paddle boat, as well as numerous water toys stored in a room on the lower level under the house are ready for a fun filled summer day on the river.

Sleeping Arrangements:
Two bedrooms each have a california king bed and a sofa bed. These two rooms have a view of the river and access to the main back decks. Two rooms on the garden side of the house have kitchenettes. These two rooms have their own private decks adjacent to the garden. All bedrooms have their own television sets and private entrances to their rooms. In addition, the game room contains a sofa/futon.

The spacious kitchen is fully equipped with most every kitchen gadget imaginable to prepare delicious homemade meals like Grandma used to make! The charming decor is reminiscent of your Grandma's house, with handmade quilts, Bluewillow china, etc. The living area reminds you of Grandpa's hunting lodge.

The house is in a quiet neighborhood but is walking distance to a few shops and restaurants in Monte Rio. The town of Guerneville is 5 miles away. There is an award-winning 9-hole golf course roughly one mile away, a redwood park for hiking, and many fine Sonoma county wineries in close proximity. The river meets the ocean about 10 miles away in the town of Jenner.

Take a kayak right from your own dock or spend the day at one if the beaches on the property and then relax in the hot tub later that evening. Or, sip a glass of wine on the deck and watch the river go by. Come and be spoiled at Grandma's House!
