Guerneville and its surrounding area are host to tons of events and activities all year round.

There are outdoor food and music festivals and River fun, hundreds of wineries to visit in Sonoma County, artist exhibitions, hiking, cycling the backroads and terrific birding and wildlife viewing.

You're surrounded by some of California's oldest growth redwoods right in Guerneville, and you're 20 miles from Jenner, where the Russian River empties dramatically into the Pacific Ocean. Guerneville has a thriving gay tourism industry with many events and activities held throughout the year and a convivial local social scene.




You'll find some of the best craft beers being made right around here too, in the towns of Healdsburg, Petaluma, Santa Rosa and Guerneville. Visit the shops and eateries in the nearby River villages of Monte Rio, Duncans Mills and, of course, Guerneville.

Many people come to River country time and again for easy weekend escapes and long, happy weeks.

Indoors or out, whether you're seeking fine wine and art, contemplative moments, or roughing it, this rural countryside in San Francisco's back yard offers a magical combination of everything. 

Make Sleepy Creek Chalet your home base when you come to wine and river country for fun and adventure.
