About this property

~Landmark 1857 Farmhouse ~ Hot Tub ~ Pet Friendly ~ across from Sunset Beach ~

Originally built in 1857, situated just across River Road from well visited Sunset Beach, and surrounded by an established apple orchard, is Petunia's Place. Owned by the same family for over 160 years, purchased in 2021 by a neighbor who saw the opportunity to restore the farmhouse from the foundation up, this is a true piece of Russian River history. Like a life size doll house straight out of Cosmo, chicly furnished by way of up cycled treasures and sparkling new amenities, being part of this home's story is a gift. Keeping to the original footprint, the main level is smartly planned to include a bedroom, good size living space with direct access to the back yard, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with shower and laundry area with stackable washer & dryer. Up the flight of wide plank local walnut wood stairs is the second bedroom, known as the Gingham room ( queen size bed ) and third bedroom, known as the Polkadot room ( 2 twin size beds ). Conveniently located across the hall from the bedrooms is a full bath with an amazing black and white tiled shower with rounded glass door. At the end of the hall is the Primary suite which offers ample space, tons and tons of natural light, and its own ensuite bath with a pristine shower. The Primary suite also has access to the New Orleans style covered porch which looks towards the vineyards and redwood forested hillside. The very private back yard, accessed off the dining room, has a hot tub, wooden deck, gas BBQ ( with spare tank ), and short staircase off the deck leading to the separate Foosball Funroom bedroom. The Foosball Funroom bedroom has a new fold out bed ( double ), homage to King Kong, a vintage game table for four and of course, a Foosball table.

The best place to stay!!
This vacation rental was amazing! It was extremely, clean, relaxing and user friendly. Everything in the house was labeled and tons of platters for serving. The place was extremely clean and had tons of blankets and towels. The hot tub was extremely clean! The place was super safe and beautiful! The one thing that was difficult was we had to check into the place at night and it was not working with Apple Maps and it was very difficult to find the yellow gate due to the lack of lights out there. We did find it but worth a mention just in case! Overall an amazing place and will be recommending this to many people!

A ton of fun
Great people and a little off the beaten path for wine country but that was what we wanted. There were 10 of us and we all had room and privacy. House was super clean, safe, and friendly. Would gladly stay there again. Sunset beach across street was a beautiful surprise
