Follow the trails… You’ll enjoy views of the creek and towering trees throughout this acre+ property.

Available for 30+ Night Stays Only.

Outdoor dining, multiple patios and decks, a shade-graced hot tub, and outdoor shower keep your attention in the immediate space around the house, but inside is fantastic too!

An open floorplan encourages conversation. Downstairs is a fully contained guest suite with a small kitchen and full bathroom. You can use the “ladder-stairs” between the two levels or walk outside. There are ample seating areas, window seats, and cozy spots to enjoy a book or settle with a glass of wine.

Location: Buck Hollow is set on an acre+ parcel, but sound carries so we ask guests to be aware of noise – especially once quiet time starts at 10 pm. The road to the home is narrow and you may need to stop/pull over for oncoming traffic. There are deer and other wildlife on the roads and in the area. We recommend taking the road slowly.

There is a set of automated “ladder-stairs” between the upper and lower levels that you are welcome to use or there are stairs around the front and back of the house.

Fencing: Most of the property is not fenced, but the yard closest to the lower unit is enclosed with gates at either side of the yard.
Seasonal Creek: The water level in Ward Creek varies seasonally. Some years we see deep spots to splash about in the summer and some years they are mostly dry. With heavy rainfall in the winter, it may not be safe to play in the creek. Please use caution.

Charming property, a hidden gem!

Reviewed on 2022-11-06 by Florentina Buchholz , Palo Alto, CA USA
Overall
5

We were guests at the property over the summer and had a fantastic time: the house, the appliances and the barbeque, any utensils – everything you would wish for was available and in excellent condition. The luxurious home is tucked away on Ward Creek, which also crosses the plot. In early to mid-summer, the creek forms a small natural pool with refreshing cool water at the border of the property. Our children (11 and 15 years of age) had a great time wandering up and down through the creek. The outdoor shower has a tropical feel to it, cools you down on warm days, while outdoor meals on the backyard patio were fabulous. Sunsets and evenings are magical in the hot tub, especially enjoyable with a glass of excellent local, Russian River wine: Korbel, Gary Ferrell, Moshin, Porter Creek are 20-40 minutes’ drive. Trips to Russian River with many options to kayak/swim/enjoy beach days, as well as to the world famous wineries are a must. The Pacific Coast is a quick drive away and gives you numerous options to cool down or enjoy the fantastic oysters right off the boat. Do not miss out on local events like the Russian River Rodeo in Duncans Mills or the local music festivals in and around Guerneville. We will definitely come back!

Manager's Response

We are so glad your family enjoyed Buck Hollow! We love scrambling up and down the creek - when the water level is safe - too! Cali, the office dog, didn't want to leave either... Thank you for sharing a review with future guests and we hope to see you at the house sometime again!
