The bio-rich Russian River Valley, first inhabited by the Pomo people, is what still attracts people to the beautiful town of Guerneville today. ​
​Xyz Gardens cottage was constructed in the early 1930s. Back then people took the ferry from San Francisco to Sausalito where trains headed to the "Vacation Playland" villages of Guerneville, Rio Nido and Monte Rio.  They came to escape the city for the natural beauty, to play in the river, eat in great restaurants and party in the bars. Not much has changed in 2016.

​The area is home to the coast redwood which is the tallest living thing on Earth.  These trees typically live to be 500-1,000 years old, grow to a diameter of 12-16 feet, and stand from 200-250 feet tall. Some live past 2,000 years and tower over 350 feet. Coast redwoods are classified as temperate rainforests and they need wet and mild climates to survive. The rainfall in Guerneville averages nearly 50 inches per year and the trees are often shrouded in a mystical fog that helps to maintain the moist conditions needed for the redwoods to survive. ​
