The Turtle House is located a block from Main Street right in the heart of town but feels like its own little world.

The place was small but cute. To be honest I expected a bit more based on the listing but since we were only there at night, it was adequate for our needs. Unfortunately, I didn’t find the book with the instructions and helps until I was cleaning to leave and went to write thank you note. Since the book was not labeled on the outside it would have helped to have it mentioned on the check-in message.

This is a return trip to this sweet little space for us. So well designed and we never felt cramped. Great location. A decent variety of restaurants in Guerneville, and close access to Johnson’s beach gave us an easy time. Kayaking by day and dining out by night. Perfect Russian River getaway. Owners live right next door and are very responsive to requests and general communication.

The Tiny Tipsy Turtle was absolutely lovely, completely secluded in it's own little bubble, close to a nearby beach and a great base camp for trips exploring the Russian River. The only detraction was that the street was a bit on the noisy side.

Great place for a short stay. We were attending a wedding at Dawn Ranch and it was only a 5 min walk. Host was really flexible with an early check in and he allowed us to leave the car in the driveway while we got breakfast. Very small space but practical and cozy!

The Tiny Turtle was a perfectly sized and located getaway for two adults taking a mini-vacation in Guerneville and the surrounding areas. The cottage had everything we needed, including high quality linens, furniture, appliances, hair care, etc, and a very nice and accommodating host, Inga. We loved being within walking distance of a great coffee bar/cafe plus bookstore, library, many cute shops and diners, and the main road in and out of town, plus up to the wonderful Armstrong Redwoods. The tiny outdoor patio with adorable fairy lights was a lovely place to start the morning and end the evening. We really cannot say enough good things about what a nice place to stay this was, how nice Inga was, or how great the location was. :)
Downtown Guerneville has a cute selection of stores, many of which are only open Thursday-Sunday, just FYI.

Sweet Little Spot to stay

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the tiny tipsy turtle. The bed was comfortable. The grill was very nice to cook on. We loved spending time on the private deck area.The location is great. Nice little town to check out. Close to everything we were there to experience. We would stay here again.

Wonderful holiday getaway!

What a great place!! We routinely leave our coast home to avoid subjecting our dog to all the illegal fireworks so we've been to Guerneville a few times -but what a hidden gem this is! Thoughtful upgrades throughout with a lovely private front deck and super close to Main St -not to mention how communicative the owners are -make this a top choice for anyone visiting here!

Sweet spot!

The Tiny Tipsy Turtle was perfect for our needs. Well designed to make use of a small space. As 2 adults and a large dog with a crate, we were just fine. The cleanliness and great use of space made our stay lovely. Having the deck/patio area was a nice bonus. Location was wonderful: walking distance to shopping, eateries and a beach.

This was an excellent find for 2 adults(and possibly 1child). The location is prime for walking to everything in the town. The room and patio are nicely appointed. The only thing to suggest is a sheet for the day bed and a third pillow. Would stay again
