Get away to the Russian River!

Russian River Getaways is now firmly ensconced in my list of favorite sources for accommodation -- I have rented from them 3 or 4 times in the past three years. The rentals are always in great condition -- some of the houses are really amazing. They are clean, most of them have hot tubs and are under redwood trees. If you have plans for a romantic weekend getaway or a large family or group vacation -- they've got a property to suit your needs. Just be sure to plan to cook as Guerneville doesn't actually have many decent restaurants. The only groceries are at a Safeway and a natural foods store (disguised as a house to the left of the box store, closing at 8pm most nights).

Plenty of locations are near the river, some are near the ocean and you're only a short distance at any rate. There's a first rate flea market on Saturdays and the area is lousy with antiques stores. Armstrong redwood park is accessible from the River Road and there's plenty of fun on the river in warm weather. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (http://www.rrsisters.org/) have monthly bingo -- be sure to get there early (like 90 minutes early) because it sells out.
