The Attic At The Red Chateau - Russian River Wine Valley


In the heart of the Russian River Wine Valley -The Attic at the Red Chateau is located on the top floor of an old river cottage with a private entrance. Upon entry, you feel as if you have stepped into a charming tree-house in the woods. With over 600 square feet (plus a generous sized sun deck) ) , and modern amenities, the space boasts unique angles, interesting design, many windows with views of the forest and waterfall including beautiful old “running glass” rounded windows. Highest speed internet. Although not a chateau and no longer red, the name has remained since 1929. The space invites you to curl up in the corner window seat with a book or sip wine in the sitting area in front of the stove for cozy winter relaxation. For those warmer months there is a private deck and a trail close by that leads you to a sandy beach on the Russian River where swimming, kayaking and sunbathing are popular– about a 7-10 minute walk through Steelhead Beach State Park and lazy river raft - inflate your raft at the park. The ideal location allows you to venture any direction for an abundance of wineries, great restaurants and lots of summer fun and activities. Electric car charging station at parking area.
Coastal Redwood hikes, wine and beer tasting, gourmet cuisine or spa...its all here.

Being completely honest

I really wanted to love this place. Getting there was rough. Even though I had to printed instructions, I went in circles. Turned out my gps was correct. Parking was very tight and I had to block in a car that I didn't know was staying put. The Home i nice and very clean BUT, the kicker for me was the step inside. The bedroom, bathroom and living area are all a step down. That means, if in bed, you step up walk to the bathroom and then step back down. This is a HIGH step. Im 5'2" so stubbed by toe multiple times. I had booked the location thinking I was close to Sebastapol and comfortable driving distance from San Francisco while also beign on the river. That is not true. San Francisco is a 2 hour drive. Additionally you can not see the river from the house. You have to drive to it. My last issue was the privacy. There are lots of windows which are beautiful but there are no coverings so it felt very revealing. It looks to be a wonderful apartment and I can see it being comfortable for a person but, myself with my 18 yo son, we were not comfortable.

Slice of Heaven

We loved our stay at The Attic celebrating our 48th Wedding Anniversary. You feel as if you’re in a beautiful, well appointed, cozy tree house in the middle of a forest. Loved the furnishings and decor. Your every need has been well thought out and provided. Russ is a fantastic host and is available if you should ever need him.Enjoyed two wineries in particular that were about 20 min away: Wilson and De La Montanya. Picked up deli sandwiches at Big John’s market in Healdsburg and picnicked at DLM—very beautiful gardens! Nice to have The Attic to come home to. My new favorite place to stay!

A quant quiet stay in wine and river country

We had a great long weekend stay. Conveniently located near some great wineries and restaurants. There’s good hiking nearby. If you’re planning a canoe trip in the summer this place is ideally located. Our host made us feel welcomed. A super nice guy. I would stay again next time I’m there.

Perfect Stay at The Attic!

What a cool little spot - the unit is outfitted with everything you need, and nothing you don't need. The location is awesome, it's right near Steelhead Beach and a few miles from both Forestville and Guerneville. The unit does get a little hot being on the top floor, but a few fans and open windows make it perfect in the evening. Was even able to cook a few meals there. Absolutely 10/10 and will definitely return. Thanks Russ for the communication and assistance during the stay, can't wait to come back!

LOVE the Attic at the Red Chateau

Perfect place for a jump off point for the Russian River Valley. The Attic is nicely put together, cozy, and off the beaten path. Loved playing cards on the secluded deck. Russ was quick to respond when we couldn't figure out how to access Netflix:) Hope to maybe someday make it to Russ's rental in Mexico. Highly recommend the Attic in the Red Chateau!!
