A Russian River Rustic and Very Private Retreat. This 1 1/2 acre Paradise that many of our friends call An Adult Disneyland is a magical place to visit. Each of our areas, whether for entertaining or residing, has its own theme and is decorated with care. Each of the listings has it's own private deck or patio and then you have access to all of the common areas on the property We promise you will feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but you are minutes from everything. Lulu’s Landing and Captain Wack’s Cove is a pirate-themed Creekside hangout, where you can enjoy a fire, except during banned season. Also a great place to capture a glimpse of the numerous critters that cruise our creek. Foxes, Deer, Squirrels, Otters, Ducks and Herons as well as numerous songbirds that feed from our bird feeder. Lulu’s Lanai is a Flamingo-themed outdoor living room and dining area with fun vintage furniture and décor. The Take- A -Liki- Tiki Shower Shack is a great place to cool off and clean up after a day on the river or exploring tidepools at the coast. There is even a puppy bath station behind it for your furry friends! The Wack Shack is our outdoor bar and grill, full of fun, colorful lights and signs. There’s plenty of equipment to cook there: appliances, a BBQ, sink, fridge and walk-up bar. We also have several apple trees, a pear tree, and tons of blackberries when in season to share with our guest. Our Veggie Garden will be available next season to enjoy also. We are constantly improving our property so please stay in the finished designated guest areas only until we open up the coming attractions. There are plenty of sites and destinations within minutes from our home too! We have Tennis, Pickle Ball, and Basketball Courts around the corner. The Russian River/ Monte Rio public beach is a short walk past the Parks and Recreation Center, and they rent Kayaks and Canoes during the summer months. The Redwood Alliance camp is just a few miles up Bohemian Hwy if you dare to zip line through the redwood canopy forest or Armstrong woods in Guerneville for those that would rather keep their feet on the ground and take a hike to enjoy the majestic beauties. Duncan's Mill is a quaint town (less than 3 miles from us) on your way to Jenner by the Sea which is just about 9 miles to the west of us. You can take a gorgeous coastal drive to Bodega that is only 15 miles away. Historic Fort Ross is another beautiful 20 mile coastal drive. Bike Enthusiast love the back roads out here and the Biggest Attraction Is… Wait for it…. Wineries are everywhere! During the summer there are several Music Venues close by too. The Rio Nido Roadhouse has outdoor music on the weekends. Rockin the River is every other Thursday in Guerneville. The Monte Rio Variety Show just celebrated it 111th year to a sold-out crowd. Zac Brown, Steve Miller, Jimmy Buffet, James Taylor are just a few Headliners that have been here in the past. We have a great Lightwave coffee shop across the creek that is a quick 5 minute walk. There are several restaurants along the river as well as a small grocery store, movie theater, and a Homemade Ice Cream Parlor that are all close enough to walk to or drive. Guerneville is a quick 4 mile drive and has a Safeway and many restaurants and quaint shops too. Adults of 21 years or older only please. TOT#4440N

The Boathouse

Lynda Lu and Rich are lovely and welcoming hosts! Communication was excellent and we found the hipcamp easily. Their dog is super friendly and adorable too, which is always a lovely bonus. The entire hipcamp is so thoughtfully put together. The boathouse was very cozy and we appreciated the little heater and heating pad since it got cold at night. Though there was another party also using the hipcamp we had the bathroom/shower and the kitchen area all to ourselves, it also still felt very private. It was such a relaxing stay at a convenient location. I would definitely come back. Highly recommend! You can tell a lot of love went into creating and maintaining Wackalulu's Wonderland and I was constantly marveling at all the little on-theme surprises around the property.

Cozy Cabin

Hidden gem in the woods!

Our hosts, Lynda Lu and Rich, were warm, inviting and accommodating. They were very proactive in keeping us informed about directions, what we would need (I especially appreciated the heads up about how to access the gate, and to bring layers to stay comfortable in the chilly mornings), and things to do locally. The Cabin is beautiful, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The bed was very cozy, the kitchen was fully equipped and the generous seating options both inside and on the deck gave us plenty of options to spread out. It was great having the private hot tub and gas barbecue grill available. Their property, which they gave us a tour of on our arrival, is beautiful and maintained with loving skill. Highly recommended, we will be back for another relaxing stay in the redwoods!

The Boathouse

Favorite Hip Camp Experience!

I've been to a few hip camps in the past and this one is hands down my favorite one so far! The hosts was SO SO lovely! Both Lynda Lu and Rick had really wonderful good energies overall and they were very thorough with our check in and making sure we knew about all the accommodations and access to all the things. This trip was a much needed nature getaway for me and my partner, getting away from the busy bustles of the city/work life and recentered in nature. We felt SO Cozy in that cute boat house shack, it was very comfortable and warm. We didn't really want to leave! It is so close to the public beach at the Russian River up the highway from the property and we were able to easily transport our inflatable boat (fully blown up) from the property to the beach with the car. The coffee shop down the creek from the property also was a true gem! which is just a short walk across the creek and down it via a dirt path. The hosts also provided us with all the necessary cookware, really cool kitchen area and towels for the beach/shower. They truly went above and beyond! We could see the love and passion they have invested into this property and this is totally worth checking out! We will MOST certainly be back again!

The Boathouse

Lynda and Rich were amazing hosts and we loved every nook and detail on the property! The common area is so lovely and everything is so unique. The bed was very comfy and the wack shack & bathroom hut are awesome too. They were also super helpful on what to do in the area. Would visit again for sure

Magical Getaway

What a gem! Tucked in the woods and next to a babbling stream, this cabin has everything you need for a spectacular getaway. What really got us was the amazing attention to detail. From the heated mattress if it gets too cold, to the kitchen that has every tool you need for a great meal, and the Adirondack chairs to lounge next to the river - we couldn’t ask for anything more. Not to mention the hosts are awesome people and made us feel so welcome! We will be back.
