My husband and I recently took our two children to the Russian River area for an end-of-summer mini-vacation&we stayed in Casa Verde. The house is absolutely adorable and perfect for a family of four. We had fun taking walks down the creek, having s'mores in the back yard fire pit, and enjoying the hot tub. The kids woke up every morning and went down to the creek and played for hours. It was the most relaxed we had all been in ages (the rooster was not that bad). We have only two complaints: 1) the cleaning service should be doing a much better job! The house was so dusty all over and the floors had a lot of dust and dog fur under the beds&all around the furniture. We ended up cleaning it ourselves. 2) We wished the sliding glass door had a screen on it. The night we arrived there were dozens upon dozens of flies hovering around the kitchen and we spent our first day on a mission to rid the house of flies. We kept the sliding glass door closed the rest of the time. However, the home and all it's charm made up for all of this. We loved it there and think about our stay all the time.
