Gorgeous Ocean and Sunset Views from Cliff Side Cottage

Gorgeous Ocean and Sunset Views from Cliff Side Cottage

10/10 Excellent
"We noticed the attention to detail. The kitchen was stocked well and organized. Maybe add foil and zip lock bags would make even better. The beds had hotel pillows and sheets. So comfortable. We sat outside a lot and enjoyed the view and neighbors. It was very peaceful. The wine that was for us was a nice touch."

Erinleigh by the Sea ~ On the mouth of the Russian River, Wildlife Show from you

Erinleigh by the Sea ~ On the mouth of the Russian River, Wildlife Show from you

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay at Erinleigh! The cottage is beautiful with nothing but huge windows looking out to the Russian River right off the deck. We loved sitting out in the morning with coffee and watching the great blue heron, egret and various ducks and in the evening enjoying the calm of the river at high tide and streaks of color in the sky.The living area was open and spacious, Bed was very comfortable and the bedroom is set up in the space so that you can look out all those windows. The cathedral ceilings, ceiling fan and lighting make the space so welcoming. As others mentioned, the bathroom with the clawfoot tub and shower curtain is the only thing a little clunky but the cottage itself, location and views make that insignificant.The cottage is right on Highway One but it was very quiet. There are several other homes along that stretch, and we missed it the first time but afterwards didn’t have any issues. There’s a restaurant that you can walk to with beautiful sunset views from the deck but another awesome spot for the sunset is a pull off a little past the restaurant where you can see more harbor seals than you can count. We also were fortunate enough to see whale spouts and a quick glimpse of the back of a humpback. Just want to mention another great place for dinner is Cape Fear in Duncan Mills. Only four miles from Jenner with cute little shops to enjoy.Definitely a great place to stay along Highway One and enjoy the Pacific Coast and Russian River!"

10/10 Excellent
"The views were unbeatable. It’s a perfect romantic getaway. I loved that all the lights can be turned off so you can stargaze from the hot tub, we saw so many shooting stars! The lower deck and garden were amazing and we got to see a whale! The bed in the main bedroom was a bit stiff and very creaky but we still slept comfortably. The house was well stocked and had everything we needed to warm up meals. I can’t wait to come back again."
