Clean, cozy and centrally located
Reviewed on 2023-06-10 by Heidi G. , Urbana, IL UnknownWe enjoyed a wonderful stay with friends at Absolute Zen! The house was very clean and had all of the amenities we needed for a relaxing vacation. The central location allowed for easy drives to enjoy the redwood forests, coastal views, and wine tastings at the vineyards. Also close to several, quaint towns with awesome restaurants. The owners were very communicative and responsive to any of our questions or needs. Would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing weekend getaway
Reviewed on 2023-04-04 by , San Francsico, CA UnknownWe had a wonderful stay at Absolute Zen. My husband and another couple all stayed here very comfortably. We come up and rent a house in Guerneville every Summer, so it was nice to be here in the Spring without the crowds. <br/>The house was the perfect amount of space for the 4 of us plus our two dogs. Everything was spotless, the beds were comfy, the furniture and the kitchen/living room layout was very inviting. We cooked dinner both nights and enjoyed playing board games at the dining room table. The kitchen had everything we needed and even had a gas stove which is rare in Guerneville!<br/>We appreciated the welcome goodies and the clear directions/info/recommendations in the supplied binder. The roads around the house were great for walking the dogs and breathing in some fresh air surrounded by redwoods. You are very close to the main street of Guerneville (I think about a 6 min drive) and also if you want some ocean air that is a quick drive also(approx 20 min). We enjoyed visiting Jenner and walking the dogs at Goat Rock Beach (where they filmed the final scene of Goonies!)and stopping in Duncan Mills for some coffee and pastries. <br/>Russian River really is a magical place and this house was exactly what we needed for our weekend getaway. This is the perfect spot to come and unwind and enjoy all that wine country has to offer.

Loved our stay at Absolute Zen
Reviewed on 2023-01-02 by , NA, NOTAVAIL UnknownWe had a wonderfully relaxing stay at Absolute Zen! It was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for our week away. The house is situated in a gorgeous forest off the main road and we appreciated the quiet serenity of the surroundings and the grounding nature of all those redwoods. We enjoyed a hike in Armstrong Reserve and a stroll on the bluffs near Shell Beach. I love Guerneville's proximity to the ocean. Stace and the team at Wine Country to Coast Vacation Rentals were very responsive and helpful. Thanks for helping to make it a lovely getaway!

Reviewed on 2022-11-10 by , San Jose, CA UnknownVery nice house, well appointed and in a good location to downtown Guerneville. The only drawback is to get to the house you need to drive on a tight single lane streets lined with parked cars and homes.

The experience lives up to the name...
Reviewed on 2022-07-02 by Jennifer C. , San Mateo, CA USAbsolute Zen is the perfect name for this home. We spent 8 nights in zen. <br/><br/>Guerneville is incredibly peaceful but the neighborhood this home is in is charming AND peaceful. Adorable cottages and cabins are dotted in between the towering redwoods. Ferns and greenery surrounds everything. It's simply beautiful!<br/><br/>Absolute Zen is a hidden oasis. It's a clean and updated property combined with comfort and forced relaxation. It's incredibly quiet.<br/><br/>We easily found the home and following the instructions located the key. We walked into the home to find a gift basket filled with treats for us (we were starving so thank you!) and our dog, Orzo! The owner has spent the time to create a binder with information not only on the house but the area in general.<br/><br/>The kitchen was open and modern and stocked with everything you could need. The wi-fi was super fast and very strong (thank you!). The TV and cable was great. The back deck is beautiful! You have a private area to just "zen" out with the birds singing all around you.<br/><br/>Our dog was thrilled to be able to plop down on the front deck and watch the wildlife. We saw some beautiful deer wandering about!<br/><br/>I would absolutely come back to Absolute Zen in a heartbeat. It was just what we needed!

A Beautiful Getaway
Reviewed on 2021-01-27 by Michael G. , Napa, CA USOur stay here was just the peaceful break we needed in the midst of moving homes. This house is truly tucked away in a different world amongst the towering redwoods. <br/>The living space was fantastic and the updated kitchen had everything we needed to make this stay feel like home. The wood stove was perfect on the chilly rainy Sunday with a TV perfect for watching the football games. The bedrooms have a lovely view of the forest behind and each room has a very comforting, quiet feel. <br/>The ping pong table in the garage was a fun activity as well! <br/>Definitely recommend for a peaceful stay where you are looking to spend a lot of time in the home.

Zen Home
Reviewed on 2020-11-19 by Cynthia P. , Fair Oaks, CA United StatesThe house was beautiful. Didn’t realize it was in such a heavenly condensed neighborhood but that wouldn’t stop me from staying there again. The only suggestion is working on backyard to make it a little safer. The incline was very steep and the block stairway up the hill see,Ed to need a little work. Since it is a pet friendly home I would work on the fencing.there seems to be a lot of areas especially close to decking where a small dog could escape down under house. Our dogs were never left unsupervised outside but our little Yorkie who fancies herself a greater hunter did get down under deck at one point.
Wonderful
