The Black Nest – "Stunning, Private Mini-Resort for Couples or Small Groups. Near Downtown Guerneville, the River, Golf & Wineries!"
Welcome to The Black Nest—your chic, cozy hideaway tucked beneath towering redwoods in the heart of the Russian River! With its striking black exterior, warm wood accents, and brand-new hot tub, this mini-resort practically dares you to unwind… and have a little fun while you’re at it. 🌲✨
Perfect for couples or small groups (up to four lucky guests), the cabin is made for slow coffee mornings, lazy afternoons filled with games and laughter, and cozy nights by the fire—marshmallows highly encouraged.
Step outside into your fully enclosed, dog-friendly yard to dine under the trees, stargaze, or simply kick back and let the forest work its magic. Feeling adventurous? Head to the nearby Russian River for kayaking or a refreshing dip, explore scenic redwood trails, or sip your way through Sonoma County wine country. Downtown Guerneville is just a mile away for great food, local shops, and that laid-back river town charm.
Hot tub soaks, forest adventures, belly laughs, and total relaxation—The Black Nest is your playful, intimate escape where nature, comfort, and good vibes come together beautifully.
