Highland Manor sits high on the hill in Guerneville "Morningside" neighborhood, amongst elegant homes in a quiet, tranquil setting.
With breathtaking forest views and a huge deck bathed in sunshine, this lovely property encompasses half an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds. Just a five minute walk down the hill to downtown Guerneville, half a mile to Johnson's Beach, this central location means you can park in the circular driveway and never get in the car until you leave.
Highland Manor is beautifully remodeled and beautifully furnished, with an extraordinary art collection, comfortable for six people, yet cozy for two people. The living room features a river rock fireplace and a good sound system. The gourmet kitchen has every amenity, including a gas stove with double ovens, and is adjacent to a formal dining room for six. Immediately off the kitchen and dining room is an in-deck swimming pool, surrounded by patio dining sets and loungers. The hot tub sits on this same deck, off to the side. The three bedrooms are all upstairs, one with a king bed, two with queen beds, and these rooms share a bath, beautifully tiled, with separate tub and shower. Downstairs is an office with printer/fax and high-speed cable Internet access, as well as a second bathroom with a steam room/shower. From every window there are beautiful garden and/or forest views.
Note: Because the swimming pool is not separately fenced and is close to both the kitchen and dining room doors, children under 8 are not permitted in the swimming pool and children between the ages of 8 and 12...

Forestville is most convenient to wineries, Sebastopol, and Santa Rosa, followed by Guerneville and Monte Rio.
There is little difference in temperature between Guerneville and central Monte Rio. Forestville will be slightly warmer, while Duncans Mills and Cazadero will be slightly cooler. There is no air-conditioning here (with a few exceptions): the ocean breezes provide natural cooling at night and homes in warmer areas have fans. The Northwood golf course area is 2 - 3 miles west of Guerneville and, although this is technically Monte Rio, these homes are as close to Guerneville as they are to central Monte Rio.
Duncans Mills is close to the ocean, with some marine influence, yet still enjoys warm, sunny days in the summer.
Cazadero is redwood forest, with an all-year creek running through it; in general the most secluded homes will be found here.
Homes along the river are generally not as private as the homes along the creeks or in the forest, although there are exceptions. The river homes are rarely fenced and most will have some small degree of road noise since River Road, running along the river, is the main artery for the area. We do have some river homes free of all road noise. If this is a major issue for you, please ask us.
There is a 24-hour Safeway and a health food store in Guerneville and smaller markets in Forestville and Monte Rio, as well as a general store in Cazadero. On Hwy 166 north of Sebastopol, Andy's Market is worth a stop. There are video rentals in all towns except Duncans Mills. Guerneville has bicycle rentals. The best shopping is in Guerneville and Duncans Mills.
Boat rentals are in Guerneville, Monte Rio, and Duncans Mills. Boating depends upon river and weather conditions and many homes with boats have seasonal docks. We cannot guarantee boating will be possible or safe anytime other than mid-June through mid-September.
