(We don’t book single weekend nights in advance, only a few days before.) Enjoy lovely views of the Russian River. Have a dog? Just let us know :-) 2 bed, 1.5 bath, 2 decks, large open floor plan & Hot Tub! LOTS of stairs; keep that in mind if stairs are a challenge. Well-equipped kitchen & smart TV. 12% Sonoma "Hotel" Tax is collected by AirBnB. We’re a "No Shoes" cabin; please remove shoes by the bench near the front door. We can’t do a check-in/out on Thanksgiving or Christmas day. The space Enjoy the two floor cabin which is particularly nice when someone wants to turn in early. The hot tub is just outside the sliding glass door from both of the bedrooms. The top floor has a wide open floor plan with large dining table, a living area with couch, chair, and bench, and a fully equipped kitchen and with bar stool area to dine at the counter. Dogs at Riverview Cabin: Our housekeeper has a basic pet cleaning fee of $50 per visit. If you entered your pet in your request, the cleaning fee was automatically added. AirBnB and Sonoma county add their fees & taxes to the pet cleaning fee … I know! We have saved old bed sheets that you can use to cover the furniture and beds so that your doggie’s fur is mostly contained. Please, cover these areas completely - go wild and use extra sheets! (We think there are enough, but if you find there aren’t enough sheets, please let me know so we can add to the supply ASAP.) It’s IMPORTANT that you gather all the used Doggie Sheets and START them in the DRYER BEFORE you leave (DO NOT WASH THE DOGGIE SHEETS). Our housekeepers need to use the dryer as soon as they arrive and that’s why we need your help to get this done in advance. DO NOT WASH THEM! We will wash them off-site. That much fur is deadly to the septic system. The Dog Sheets are in the linen closet, downstairs next to the laundry room. We love dogs (and dog owners) and want to continue to welcome them, but we need your help so that our housekeeper isn’t walking into a “fur explosion.” Thank You! NOTE: there is a $75 ADDITIONAL pet cleaning fee if any of the following dog rules are not fully followed: 1. cover any furniture with doggie sheets if your pup will be joining you up there. 2. if your dog barks when left alone, then do not leave the dog alone at the cabin. 3. if your dog is totally chill when being left alone and does NOT bark, you must still always leave him/her in their crate if you go out. 3. the upper deck is enclosed and your dog is welcome out there. there is no way to block-off the lower deck area (the one with the hot tub), so you'll need to keep an eye on your dog when down there. please check for dog poop in the area around the hot tub. 4. always pick-up after your dog and throw away the poop bags directly into the trash bin outside. even if the dog poops out-of-the-way, it must be picked up. —> Poop: if there is any poop on either deck, the stairs & walkways, or in the house, our housekeeper charges a separate $100 fee to clean up each poop ... she doesn’t kid around when it comes to this issue! so, please make sure your dog doesn’t poop or pee in these areas. in the laundry room or under the kitchen sink (it seems to move around), there is a brush and small bucket. if your dog pees or poops in any of these areas, you need to use the brush with hot water and dish soap to thoroughly clean it up. 5. at the end of your stay, please thoroughly sweep the entire upstairs of the cabin with the broom & dustpan (usually kept behind the shoe bench, but sometimes makes it’s way next to the fridge, and may be found in the linen closet next to the laundry room and sometimes found in the laundry room itself). please then dispose of all the fur/hair, etc. in the trash bin outside. thank you for helping to make it possible for us to continue hosting dogs up at Riverview. I hate having all the rules and needing to be so blunt, but we have been having some real challenges with some guests ignoring the dog house rules. i LOVE dogs and we want to be able to continue allowing pets, but we need the cooperation of our dog owners. if all looks good, please confirm or message any questions. If anyone has trouble with stairs, this may not be the spot. There are about 20 steps from the road to the house and about 16 steps from the first floor to the second. Our county permit allows six guests. We have only two queen beds and a comfy (NON-pull out couch), so only five “spots” to sleep. When we have five or six, guests most often bring an air mattress for which we can provide linens. Guest access As noted in amenities, we have a Roku HDTV. You can sign into your Netflix, Prime, Max, Hulu, etc. but there is no cable service. You can sign into the Xfinity streaming app if you have an Xfinity account - usually not all channels and not all of your DVR recordings will be available. There is a key lockbox (lower of the two) on the post in front of the left side of the garage. You will receive an message through AirBnB with the code before your arrival. There is a "Clicker" for the garage door inside the cabin by the House Info Book - it is HUGELY important to return the Clicker before departing for the next guests: CLIP THE CLICKER! Other things to note The cards on the beds and fridge with the info about pets, check-out, etc. are outdated with respects to your pets!! We now have the doggie sheets available, so please disregard that item on the card. Thanks! Jets on one side of the hot tub died - we are waiting for the replacement pump. The other jets work and the temp is perfect. We can’t always accept bookings, especially one night bookings, if they leave a single night open. We try our best to accommodate, but please understand not all combinations are possible. If you are arriving at the cabin at night, there is a switch for the outside lights immediately on your right as you enter the gate. For stays 7-days or longer, there may be discounts that will automatically appear in the pricing summary. Hot tubs are intricate and can sometimes go out of service with no warning whatsoever. A heating element, pump, or circuit board might just fail. We will notify you as soon as we discover the problem. If this happens, we will automatically issue a credit for $35 for each day without the use of the hot tub, but the hot tub being unexpectedly out of service is not an exception to our cancellation policy. The spa is serviced on Tuesdays. At certain times, such as holidays, long weekends, or Russian River event weeks, there may be a longer minimum stay, up to a full week. We will certainly tell you the options available upon receiving your request. Also, we try not to split weekends with a two-day stay, e.g. Thursday & Friday or Saturday & Sunday, only. Unless it’s the same week as the requested night, we don’t take advanced reservations for a single weekend night. We don’t have beach towels, chairs, or other beach gear. We did when we first joined AirBnB, but most of it disappeared by the middle of our first summer. We quickly realized it wouldn’t be sustainable. In some of the more remote corners of the property, we store various items such as ladders, tools, and smaller items to be disposed of that can’t go in the trash bins. These are all placed in areas that aren’t used by us or our guests and won’t be in the way. Our trash & recycling are picked up once a week and there will likely be some items in the bins between pick-ups. The washer & dryer are available for your use, but there may be clean items in the dryer or used items (like dish towels) in the washer that will be handled by the housekeeper at the next clean. We are in the middle of the woods, so while we sweep for cobwebs on the outside of the cabin, some new ones might crop up in between. We don’t clean out the candle holders on a regular basis, so there may be some wax from previous candles. Smoking or vaping inside the cabin carries a $250 charge. Due to the regularity of fires in the greater area, air quality is not an exception to our cancellation policy.
