Relaxation in the redwoods

Our favorite get away, on the river and in a beautiful area. We LOVE the sunroom and deck for watching blue herons cruising the river for food, and the deer frolicking in the meadow. Hopefully the view to the river stays open as the brush growing on the banks seems to be getting in the way of that million dollar view. It was much more open if I remember correctly. Nonetheless an excellent and very relaxing adventure. froiving

My running away adventure

I enjoyed my stay very much. The house was very comfortable. I would suggest that perhaps a smart TV would be of benefit so that your guests can watch using their apps. Your home was the perfect resting spot for my over crowed mind. Thank you for your hospitality and ability to rest and rethink so many things in my life.

Loved this spot on the Russian River tucked away from crowds, alive with wildlife and perfect to rest and recharge prior to sending the kids back to school. We loved this spot - especially the access to the water with the kayaks! What a rare find!

Mini moon in Duncan Mills

The location of this property is unbeatable! We absolutely loved sitting on the deck, watching the wildlife in the morning and evenings. The canoes and kayaks are wonderful, too. The house itself is charming, but a little dated. May suggest some new bedding and towels, but everything else is good. We would come back to Casa Lucia!

Wonderful location & house

The River house is a wonderful, comfortable place that we hope to return to in future. The setting on the river is beautiful & relaxing and has great views that are ever changing depending on time of day and light. The house is very comfy, bright and filled with interesting and fun art! The kitchen is well stocked and there were fresh flowers in every room. It was clean and the availability of the kayaks was such a wonderful aspect of our trip! It was great to come back and take a hot tub after kayaking. Craig is quick to respond, offered great suggestions and was very easy to work with. Even with a brief power outage ( which happens in this area), Craig was in contact quickly and helpful. We will definitely be returning

All ways wounderful

We have been coming to this cabin rental on the Russian River for 8 years now and it never fails to disappoint. The cabin is cozy and well-equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. One of the highlights of this rental is the canoes, which adds a fun and unique touch to our stays. We love taking it out on the river and having rowing competitions with our friends and family. The kayaks and bikes provided with the cabin are a great bonus as well. We love spending our days exploring the beautiful Russian River on the kayaks and biking through the picturesque surrounding area. The cabin itself is clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The outdoor deck is perfect for enjoying meals al fresco and taking in the stunning views of the river. The owners are always friendly and accommodating, making sure that we have everything we need for a wonderful stay. We look forward to our annual trip to this cabin every year and can't wait to come back again next year. Thank you for providing such a fantastic vacation rental!

Loved the Site, Disappointed with VRBO

We loved our stay at Casa Lucia in Duncans Mills. However the stay was marred by not having the access code sent to us in the welcome email. The website assistant (an AI bot) was worse than helpful, as it proved to be a time waste. The email constantly sent us to a request to set up an account and download an app, all of which we did, but being the day of check in, didn't recognize we had a reservation. Owner was unavailable, phone support was slow, and didn't seem to have a good script for helping, and we almost had to stay in another location for the night... at least... Made me re-consider using VRBO again.

Everything you wanted in a vacation home and more !!

I stayed here for a week prior to Christmas. Pictures of the property do not do it justice! It is gorgeous, warm and inviting. Check and checkout was seamless. Craig was a very attentive host who checked in throughout my stay to ensure I was enjoying myself. I spent most of my stay in the River room. You just can’t beat that Russian River view and the various wildlife you see. I highly recommend a stay here. If you want peace and quiet and to feel safe since the property is on a private road - stay here. The location is perfect bc it’s close many spectacular areas and great places to dine. I love Duncan Mills and was grateful to have the opportunity to stay here. What a treat!!

Favorite Home Away From Home!

I would call Casa Lucia our favorite home away from home, only our homes aren’t nearly this lovely (and fun). Casa Lucia is better! Our four day vacation stay was the best in recent memory and upon arrival, we had everything set up for a long weekend of fun: wildlife watching, kayaking every day and biking. We adored the cute little town of Duncan Mills (Cape Fear, the Gold Coast Bakery, General Market and the adorable little tea shop). We kayaked to Jenner and had brunch at Café Aquatica and later that evening had a not-to-be-missed dinner at River’s End (fabulous in all regards). Craig was the consummate host and was so informative and kindly helped with all of our needs. We can’t wait to book our next adventure at Casa Lucia! Highly recommend.
