_________________
Jujube has been a much loved vacation rental for over 20 years.
Recently remodeled, Jujube has a brand new kitchen with high end stainless appliances, an updated bathroom with a marble top double sink vanity and a glass walk in shower.
Other updates inside and out: new larger flat screen televisions in the living room and bedroom, lots of new furniture, a new high efficiency convection wall heater, soft goods (curtains, bedding, towels and more), a new river view hot tub deck with seating area and two new kayaks.
Most recently we have added a private outdoor shower.
We are dog lovers, and the property is super dog friendly. Unlike most vacation rentals, we do not charge a pet fee. We've been able to continue that policy for OVER ten years now because our guests have consistently been very responsible dog parents!
Our general rule is two pups under 50 pounds. There is some wiggle room, as long as your pups are low impact on the property.
______________________________________________
Jujube is a stylish, light and airy one bedroom for two people only.
She is a thoughtfully remodeled and updated vintage cottage on the banks of the Russian River with river access (typically safe May to October) from the yard and down a metal staircase to the seasonal dock. River access is seasonal and never guaranteed.
______________________________________________
It is important to note that the Russian River is not safe for swimming or kayaking from November to April. The river level fluctuates constantly depending upon rain amounts, and the currents can be extremely dangerous.
______________________________________________
After parking in your dedicated off street parking space, you enter the property through a private garden and head down the right side of the house to the sunny riverfront deck, where you will find your outdoor seating area and wood-burning chiminea fireplace, gas grill, hot tub deck, lawn and river access with two kayaks.
There are no houses across the water from you, so it’s just the river and redwoods. Cocktails on the deck, a soak in the hot tub, swimming or kayaking in the river, or just enjoy the sun and scenery.
Entry to the house is via keyless entry code through the central pair of three French doors that open to the deck. Once inside, you will find a spacious one bedroom cottage with river views from the living room, dining room, bedroom and bathroom and a garden view from the kitchen.
Read a book, watch a movie on the large flat screen television or just relax in the living room in front of the wood burning fireplace, in the leather lounge chair or in the vintage rocking chair.
The open kitchen is well-equipped for your stay, ready for morning coffee and toast on the deck or a gourmet meal for two at the river view dining table.
The sun sets over the river and redwoods you see from the comfy, cozy bedroom. There’s plenty of storage, extra blankets and pillows, and another flat screen television.
Off the bedroom is the bath, with a marble double vanity, walk in glass door shower, extra towels and a separate exit to the deck.
Back outside where most guests begin and end their days at Jujube, the river changes hour by hour and season by season, from placid mornings to sunny afternoons to starry nights, which tend to be cool year round.
Light a fire, enjoy a glass of local Pinot. And welcome to Jujube.

Very receptive host; very private, pleasant and well-appointed cottage, peaceful, visually pleasing surrounds, easily accessible, comfortable bed, close to Redwood State Park and Jenner
This little place was fantastic. My sister and I really enjoyed booking here and doing absolutely nothing! It's comfortable, well-equipped and nicely furnished. We will visit again!
The host was accommodating and focused on keeping her guests happy. She was friendly and helpful, and even built a fire for us in the fire place. The house was clean, comfortable, and fully equipped.
Had a wonderful stay! The cottage has everything you could possibly need for cooking, river-ing, and relaxing. Our host, Bridgette, was communicative and had lots of great recommendations for us during our stay. Great weekend.
We really loved this cozy cabin. We loved the views and really enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the evening with a fire in the chiminea. We also enjoyed the kayaks. The location on the Russian River was great. We walked to the Monte Rio beach with our dog every morning. Also, the bed was so comfortable, which is huge for my husband and I. We would definitely recommend.
My husband and I spent several days at Jujube, with our Jack Russell, Piper. It was a true staycation, as we live only eleven miles from Monte Rio. The cottage is comfortable and cozy, and well furnished with everything you need. We enjoyed sitting outdoors, in front of the fire pit, not far from the Russian River. We hot tubbed and kayaked, but the best thing was how quiet it was and we could really relax. Thank you, Bridgette!
This is a very private and comfortable place to enjoy rest and relaxation.. We love that it is close to the ocean, about 20 minutes away.We did have problems with the streaming service on the big TV, but that is probably normal in this small community.
We had a wonderful stay at Jujube. It was a great location with just a short drive to downtown Guerneville. We especially loved the fully stocked and functioning kitchen, the ton tin and the deck lounging area. We would recommend this spot for a relaxing and beautiful weekend away.
We've rented Jujube each year for over 10 years now. It is our favorite place. Right on the river, huge deck, cute, cozy, fully stocked, etc.. Each year, Bridgette has added something new that makes our stay even more enjoyable.Gonna book it for next year in just a few minutes.
Cozy cabin, beautiful views, kind and responsive host.
The house was cozy and clean. The views from the deck are beautiful. Such a peaceful place. The host was responsive and kind when I messaged her. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return!
This is the perfect place to unplug and unwind. Especially enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub under the stars every evening. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals with great markets nearby. Lots of quality cafe's and restaurants just a short distance from the cottage. Definitely recommend this property for a quiet peaceful escape. Sleeping under the redwoods is totally awesome!
