Wine Down

Enjoy a glass of wine as you wind down the river at Wine Down. This 1924 cottage with old world charm, wood floors, custom cedar counter and walls of windows, invites relaxation and creativity! Both the kitchen and living area overlook the ever-changing Russian River. Morning brings sunlight and in the evening a gas fireplace adds warmth and a cozy glow. The kitchen is open to the dining and living areas so friends and family can gather to laugh and chat while cooking. Dine inside or out as weather permits. A new hot tub joins the outdoor dining area on the main deck overlooking the river. Amble down one level to the outdoor shower and laundry room. There’s a staircase from the lowest level of the fern and thimbleberry-filled yard to the river in the summer months. Depending on the season, you’ll have a shallow and gentle stretch of river and a long, wild, sandy (seasonal) island or playful and frisky Russian River for paddling and swimming. Merganser and Mallard ducklings bob and scoot about, swallows circle and a reclusive green heron darts past in this paradise for birds. Bedrooms feature award-winning Casper Cal King mattresses and the living room has ample and comfortable seating for your retreat. A half mile down the road is Monte Rio which features beaches and (seasonal) kayak rentals. Duncan’s Mills is three miles west with shops, restaurants and a post office. Jenner by the sea waits ten miles away at the Pacific Ocean.
