Absolute gem of a place. Just up the road from Big Hendy woods and Anderson Valley's best wineries. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful, with a full kitchen and bathroom and all amenities. Bob was able to meet us at the driveway and let us in. We were so happy to have found such a wonderful place to spend our little vacation. Thank you!

This is the perfect spot for someone looking for a secluded getaway from urban life and technological distractions. The cabin, Bob and his wife's former home, is a beautiful space with an old-fashioned wood stove and stocked kitchen. There are enough utensils and cookware to cook comfortably, and it is definitely recommended to bring your own groceries. Plenty of hot water in the chilly and rainy weather, yay! The drive to and from the Airbnb site winds through for a couple miles through the forest and is a little bumpy, but it is lovely to go through the woods and see deer, mice, and other critters. Come here expecting complete isolation in terms of location (it is really out there), but know that many wineries and the Apple Farm are just a couple miles away. Bob and his family, including the dogs, were kind and friendly hosts, and it was a great experience staying here.

This lovely, homey, and relatively new cottage was completely as advertised. It is secluded and miles off 128 in a forest up a winding road. Not for the timid, but the road was easily passable in my minivan. Robert was a pleasant host-affable and available, but not invasive. The quiet of this spot is notable, in an age of constant connectivity. I pretended there was no cell service ( even though it was 4 bars). The lack of Wifi was just what I wanted. Thanks for the photo, Robert!

Loved our weekend getaway at Bob's cabin! The place is super cute and, while small, has everything you need to make it very comfortable. Full kitchen, comfortable bed, cozy fireplace, good water pressure in the shower. In the middle of the woods, down some windy roads, very secluded. Bob's house is about 50 yards away, but the feel is very private, surrounded by tall trees, in the middle of the forest. You can easily drive to Philo and Boonville for dinner and groceries and all the wineries, and you can also reach the coast and go up to Mendocino for a great day trip. Bob is super nice and easy-going, great host! We'll be back!

The cabin is great for a peaceful retreat and just the right size for 2 people. THE place for hiking and nature lovers. Bob and his wife are really nice people, we couln't pick a better place for our xmas getaway. The cabin is fully furnished and the fireplace is an added bonus :)

Lovely and comfortable cabin with all that conveniences you might need. Hope to come again.

Bob is the single nicest host you can imagine and the cottage is very comfortable. The video tapes gave us great nostalgia too! Warmly recommended and a stone's throw from the most beautiful forest we have ever seen, at Hendy state park.

Great, off the beaten path, cabin. Everything was great. A place to get away, but not far from town.

Super awesome little cabin surrounded by redwoods. We loved it, and would love to stay again!

Heidi was most gracious and made sure we had everything we needed.

Our experience staying in Henry and Heidi's cabin was awesome! The cabin was super cozy and cute. The area was beautiful with lots of redwood and douglas fir trees. Henry was a warm and friendly host.

Great opportunity to disconnect with all the WiFi and Internet demons that haunt us daily! Beautiful setting and opportunity to rearrange your inner space! And Heidi and Henry are a delight

Beautiful spot! Heidi was great with communication and was an all around warm host!

Great location not far from Booneville but up in the woods. Nice little pond. Great hosts. Comfy cabin not as rustic as it appears with kitchen and comfy bed. Great place to relax and have coffee with a view of the flowering apple orchard

The host made us feel very welcome. The cabin was very cozy and it was nice to just relax. The cabin was close to the wineries and the coast. It was off the beaten path however well worth it.

This lovely and peaceful cabin is about 25 minutes from the town of Boonville. A very comfortable bed and a fully stocked kitchen and bath made this a good fit for our working vacation travels. A gorgeous and totally quiet property in the mountains above Philo make this rustic yet comfortable studio a unique experience. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay! I had never used Airbnb before and for a first-timer, I was super happy with the location and space. It was clean, private, and perfect for our weekend getaway. Close to Boonville, wineries, and swimming spots, this was the perfect spot for us! Thanks for everything! This owner was super accommodating with our arrival time too!

Host was very responsive with phone and text when I had a questions. The loft was in excellent / brand new shape, plenty of room for many people, very clean and well taken care of place. Things to note- phone signal is very bad in this location, WiFi is slow (3MB download). Water has a bit of odor (Sulphur) but the host said it is harmless and safe to use.

Chris welcomed us and showed us his farm. We were then provided privacy and a lovely place to stay. Proximity to several Anderson Valley Vineyards is second to none. The farm house is secluded, private, clean, with a big screen tv and Internet access. Very well equipped with everything you need for a wine country getaway. A very nice stay! ps. Tornado, the horse, really appreciates a peach or two!

Great place to get away, warm and inviting

I've stayed in a decent amount of airbnbs around the world and I have never encountered a better host. He was incredibly nice, helpful, and gracious. Beyond that the place and space is amazing!! Philo is an adorable town and everyone we encountered was lovely.

Comfy, quiet, relaxing

This place was a perfect spot in the Anderson Valley area. It is very nice inside, and has anything you would need for a Philo getaway. They are working on getting TV and internet, but that was not important for us for our stay. Everything was clean and the host was very responsive- very easy to communicate with. This place is a gem in northern Cali! Enjoy

Very nice, relaxing stay! The host was very responsive. Highly recommended

We spent a weekend here with a few friends and the place was absolutely gorgeous. The pool house is even better than it looks in the photos, and Eris was a great and welcoming host. 100% would recommend

We enjoyed a wonderfully cozy Thanksgiving weekend with extended families. The place was great for kids while the adults enjoyed the cooking, eating and reading. We had a wonderful time.

Eris' place is beautiful and perfectly located for a weekend in Anderson Valley. The views are stunning, the house is gorgeous, and you're just a few minutes from anywhere you'd want to go. Do yourself a favor and book this place.

This hilltop property is absolutely stunning! Everything about the house, the pool, the pool house, and the views were exactly what we were hoping for and more. The photos definitely do not do it justice. Eris was also an extremely responsive and helpful host. If you're looking for a relaxing and private getaway for a group, this is the perfect place.

What an amazing stay we had an Eris's place! The view from the pool is incredible and you really feel far from the hustle and bustle of life. We would definitely like to return!

Hi Eris. The stay was just amazing! We absolutely loved the property and surrounding area. Thank you again for being such a great host!

the group felt very well taken care of--everything was as expected, the view was fabulous, the pool amazing. hopefully we will be back!

Our first aribnb, so can't compare to others. The room is sort of hidden away. The straw bale insulation (the walls are about 3 feet thick) worked well in keeping the room cool. It was in the low 90's during our stay and maybe 15 degrees cooler inside. Coffee, drinking water and some fruit were supplied. Excellent spot outside the room to sit and enjoy mornings and afternoons. The owners live on 7 acres on a quiet road.

The Straw bale guest house is private and yet close to town. You get a real sense of living in the country. The door to the house opens up to a garden full of flowers and birds. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was clean and spacious.

The strawbale house is centrally located, cozy, and perfect for a weekend in the valley! Fresh flowers, fruit, and coffee were wonderful. There is no shower, but the claw foot tub was a fun alternative.

What a cozy house in an enchanted garden! Pippa and Steve were so gracious and we hope to return again before long.

Die Unterkunft von Pippa liegt ca. 800m außerhalb, westlich von Boonville, und ist somit super für einen kleinen Spaziergang geeignet. Das Strawbale House ist super gemütlich, warm und wirklich ruhig im Garten der Familie gelegen und alles wie beschrieben. Pippa und ihr Mann sind tolle Gastgeber: warmherzig, vielgereist, openminded, tolerant und stehen jederzeit mit Rat und Tat zur Seite, sofern man das möchte. Absolut empfehlenswert!

This is a lovely place indeed. Remote and beautiful. The gardens are breathtaking in spring. There is no breakfast as indicated in the listing and we found options in town very limited. there is no refrigerator, no nearby grocery; we felt a bit stuck for food options. There is also no shower, only a tub. So if a shower is important to you, keep that in mind. We enjoyed our 2 day stay, but anymore time would have been difficult.

This place is very quiet and private -- I enjoyed the serene setting and the lovely host, Pippa. Hope to be back soon!

The property was truly beautiful and very accommodating. Chris was a great host. The yard over looks a vineyard which was stunning, and close to wineries and the brewery.

The house was very nice, just as promised! The property is very welcoming and good for larger groups. The horse and kitten residing on the property were very friendly as well. Thanks!

We had a great stay at Christopher's place! The backyard is great for hanging out and the whole space is roomy. Great for wine tasting in Anderson Valley too.

Good place to chill out

I have mixed feedback about this house. First, the region is very beautiful and the house is right smack in the middle of wine country. You can't ask for a better location in Anderson Valley. It's rustic, but there's a nice fireplace outside and a nice covered area that was useful to shield us from the rain, yet still enjoy the outdoor. On the flip side, the price of this place in no way match the luxury of the place. It's a very rustic house, read shabby, house. It's also not very well maintain. The furniture is old and many things were broken. In particular, the pull out couch, which is advertise as one of the bed, was completely ruined and can't really be use as a bed. To be more specific, the sheet that olds the bed is completely torn and most of the mattress isn't held in place. The house also wasn't very clean when we got in. We had to re-wash the dishes because they hadn't been wash properly by the previous users. There was also some unfolded dirty sheet left in the cupboard. On the whole, I felt we overpaid for what we got.

Chris's place is in a great location outside Philo and has the most peaceful backyard. Rustic spot, with a fantastic pergola where we spent hours hanging out and enjoying the sunny days and warm evenings.

The house is spacious and rustic. The outdoor area has an amazing view and is very privat. I loved the small DVD collection and the big flat screen. The kitchen has everything you need including a nice coffee and expresso machine. As others said before the house and furniture is pretty beat up, but I didn't mind it. There are some cute cats hanging out by the house and some other farm animals like ducks. You can pick fresh fuit from the plum tree. The only real downside was that the WiFi didn't work. This was a big deal for us, we needed to do some online work and research and I would not have booked a house without WiFi. As there is no cell phone coverage at all (data use Internet), we were just screwed. If the WiFi would have worked it would have been very nice and just what I expected.

I love love love this area. It feels super remote even though it's an easy and pretty drive from SF. There is easy access to really good wine (Navarro), really good beer and one of my favorite beer gardens (Anderson Valley), a great river-swimming spot near Hendy Woods and lastly, the beautiful coast. Maybe most importantly, and surprisingly, there is some of the best Mexican food I've ever had (Libby's), which is maybe worth the trip alone. I've been to the area a few times and have loved it every time. A favorite weekender. The property, I'd say, was quirky, which I appreciated more I think than the friends I stayed with. It is an absolutely beautiful property with amazing views, horseshoes, grill, indoor fireplace, emus (really!), and plenty of space. The house itself is full of character (good and bad), not super clean, plumbing is sulfurous, pretty funky, whatever... I think it's a little more "rustic" than the ad implies. Christopher and the caretaker, who lives on the property in a little house across the driveway, were quick to respond and eager to make our stay great. Overall, I would not recommend this to anyone who is looking for a luxury wine country experience, which is pretty much what I try to avoid, so I enjoyed it. I like a little quirk to make the trip memorable. I would stay again in a heartbeat IF it were CHEAPER. It would be a great place to stay in a big group, but it's over priced for what it is, especially with all of the extra fees. And for just a couple of people, I'd forgo the space and kitchen, etc. and stay at the Anderson Valley Inn for the same price. It can be an expensive area to stay, but it is just too funky for the price. In summary: Beautiful and delicious location, big funky house, pricey.

What a magical place. We were looking for a quiet, restorative, joyful time away and found it here. Upon arriving, I was a little concerned by the fact there were two other people living on the property. But the moment you pass the tenants' (adorable!) cabins, you close the gate to the rental and you are separated by what seems like miles. The home is beautifully decorated, the kitchen well stocked, the beds comfy, and the kids' room fun and full of toys/books. And then there's the deck. Holy deck. This is where you will spend your entire weekend, from lounging over your morning coffee through to grilling your evening meal and eating outside. You can also take a hot tub overlooking the vines.... Casual yet elegant, this friendly home is tucked away in Anderson Valley giving way to lots of privacy and warmth. We found ourselves not wanting to leave. But we were also just moments away from amazing vineyards, an incredible apple farm, the Hendy Woods state park and river, playgrounds and the up & coming town of Boonville. Both kids and adults were thoroughly entertained and active throughout our time here. The hosts couldn't have been more accommodating or friendly. We cannot wait to come back. It's a truly special place.

I had a group of 9 people staying for 2 nights, and there was plenty of space at this rental. We were all able to cook in the kitchen, grill outside, and eat together at the large kitchen table, or the outside table. There were great lounging spots outside to all gather around, and the enormous deck was beautiful in the morning and evenings. The hot tub was very nice in the evenings as well. Everything was clean and tidy when we showed up, and access in and out couldn't be easier. Its a very short drive to town to the market or local restaurants. It's also a short drive to swimming, vineyards, apple farms, hiking among redwoods, or even to the coast. Kelly was great at communicating, and very attentive to our stay. Highly recommend this beautiful spot for anyone staying in the area.

Kelly was super helpful about checking in, being clear with house instructions and local recommendations and it was pleasure to stay there.

Good place. quite and comfortable

Kellys house is very secluded and perfect for a family stay, with a playroom and a fenced deck. The fact that there is no TV was enhancing the whole experience and the kids were playing games vs. watching TV. Close proximity to Boonville and the local scene.

We enjoyed our time in Boonville and the location of the house was convient to town. The house felt very private and we enjoyed the simplicity of our stay. No tv was a nice change of pace from our busy life. The beds were comfortable and the family area fit us well.

A perfect place to getaway and catch up with old friends. Expansive deck, hot tub, comfy beds and toys for the kids. We had a wonderful time.

Kelly was in touch with me from the day I first requested a reservation. She was very friendly and helpful in answering a few questions I had about Boonville. Her house is even more awesome than it's described on Airbnb. I wished our group had reserved the house for longer. It's hard to describe the property, as it's extremely unique and very private, with a high gate surrounding the large house and humongous deck. Though we did some sightseeing in the town and in neighboring Mendicino, we were all happiest just hanging around at Kelly's place. There was so much space, we never felt as if we were on top of one another. I definitely plan on renting this fabulous home again.

We loved our weekend stay at this Boonville guest house. The house is spacious and full of quaint and unique touches. Everything was clean and well stocked with anything you might need. The bed was comfortable. The area was quiet and relaxing. It was wonderful to sit out on the desk for meals and look over at the lamas across the way.

We loved our stay at Ryan and Julia's guest house. It is such a warm, comfortable, and relaxing atmosphere, being amid the vineyards and farms. Our favorite parts were making dinner in their beautiful kitchen and reading on the hammock on the porch. We would definitely stay there again.

We had a lovely, peaceful time during our stay in Boonville. The guest house is beautiful and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!

This house was so dreamy- views of baby goats and llamas, so many stars at night, wonderful air. It's sad that the drought has the rivers in Boonville running dry, but the wineries are wonderful, and Ryan made us feel really welcome- and offered us delicious stuff from the garden. What a beautiful rustic yet modern space they've made!

Our stay here really exceeded all our expectations. This is a lovely guest house with plenty of space for our group to spread out and be comfortable. The house is fully equipped and our group spent time cooking together and enjoying meals on the sunny porch overlooking the vineyards and lovely gardens. The house is an easy distance to Boonville and Philo by bicycle. The neighborhood was so tranquil and relaxing. Everyone had comfy beds and no complaints!

I got married right down the street from Ryan's property on Anderson Valley Way and had guests stay in his lovely Guest House. They had nothing but RAVE REVIEWS. All I kept hearing was it was amazing. I hope they were good guests in return. Thank you, Ryan for making my wedding guests so happy.

This is going to be a short review. The place was perfect. Quiet, clean, great kitchen and we really loved the beautiful herb garden. Boonville has some great little restaurants, amazing ice cream and wine, and we went to a different farmers market in the area every day. Exactly what we were looking for. I would give the pace 6 stars if I could. We'll be back :)

This is a wonderful little guest house in a magical countryside setting. Very well equipped and a great launching point for Anderson Valley winery explorations and hiking in the redwoods. If you like the vibe at the Boonville hotel, you'll love this place. Ryan was great getting the unit ready for us on short notice and was a most gracious host while we were on site. His lush garden was open to us, from which we cooked a fabulous dinner (right down to the fresh picked berry cobbler for dessert!). Hoping to make this a regular stop on our out to the coast.

Our stay at Dave's home was excellent. He was nice enough to accommodate us on a relatively last-minute trip to Boonville. The house itself is huge and offered quite a bit of outdoor space to boot, including a wonderful hot tub with breathtaking views. Our stay was short and sweet but we would book again without question. Thanks, Dave!

The host canceled this reservation 12 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

A beautiful place to stay for a retreat to the Anderson Valley area. Dave and Leslie were very accommodating and made sure we were comfortable. Thanks!
