Staff is great and area is great, 15 - 20 minutes to sonoma coast state park! But the place is completely outdated, not close to good dining, unless you drive. The outside area is dirty, full of dead bugs and the room had dead bugs on the windowsils and stained carpet, also had no fans or air conditioning, it's very very hot at night. Not sure it would be my first choice to stay again there.

This has now become my new yearly Memorial Day holiday spot. I was greeted immediately by the gentleman who is in charge here and each day he met my husband dog and I with an amazing attitude and smile. It was so peaceful that I didn’t want to leave.

Jay, the manager was very welcoming and helpful. The property grounds are beautiful.

Nice location

This is a gorgeous area of the Russian River! The resort has the only beach area we saw on this stretch of the river. The well manicured grounds are a beautiful place to picnic or hang out at the beach. We had a great time in the paddle boat as well as with the kayak. Our room was cozy, although most of our time there was spent outdoors. The area is too beautiful to spend much time inside. The small kitchen met our needs and we used the bbq was awesome to have! The caretaker was so nice that we hated to leave. Definitely a place worth coming back to. The bathroom is very tiny, but worth it when you consider everything else. We had an excellent trip!

Right off the hwy, this old delapidated three story rickety place is still beautiful. there are wide lawns overlooking the lake, and trees all around. Manager Jay is delightful, helpful and responsive. But, he can't change the fact that the stove top was rusty and broken, there weren't even two matching glasses, the dishes were chipped and it was all ill-equiped, the couch (which was supposed to be a futon or rollout) was filthy and did not roll out or open up. The window paint was peeling. The cracks in the walls made it look like our cabin would buckle at any moment. Dead mosquitos and flies everywhere. I feel badly giving a bad review because its a pretty area,but rickety , old and not so clean or quiet you can hear the road traffic)--is really what you get. It could be wonderful if they really deep cleaned it and updated it. I'm pretty sure its a health hazard and doesn't meet building and safety standards. Though a bit less expensive than some hotels in the area, it is WAY overpriced for what you get. Again, the manager was very kind and sweet, but that was the main asset of the place!

My favorite place on the river

The property manager was very kind. Although my daughter and I enjoyed our stay, the place could use a little remodeling. It’s pretty outdated and could use some TLC.

Jay greeted us like we were old friends that had just arrived!!

We stayed for one night and the services was great! Yes the building is not modern, but it is beautiful. Monte Rio is a beautiful,lush,friendly town. The only down fall is hard to walk with no sidewalks and cars driving fast.

Very nice staff! Property is a bit dated and needs some TLC, but it’s a very good location right on the river and the staff were lovely.

Absolutely beautiful property, beautiful scenery of the river.

Beautiful view from my room

Super great and friendly service.

Loved the casual atmosphere and the warmth and help of the host Jay.

Jay is terrific and the gardens are beautiful. The place is a little older but very pleasant. Could use a deep clean, though, in places like the window sills. Could use a new mattress, too.

Really disappointed Cottage was extremely small I got charged $25 extra for having my partner. Flat rate is for one person only and then 25 extra per person really. Got charged $45 had to pay cash for my dog when the property said it was pet friendly when I originally booked. Can't flush your toilet paper down the toilet and take more than a couple minutes shower without running out of hot water. Plus I was really confused considering it said this place was a resort it's 2 houses converted into Hotel rooms. All in all description of the place was completely inaccurate. And I paid close to $300.

So love this place right on the river! My boys played safely on the grass and even made friends with the owners dog, Rascal. JAY who was the host and runs they place was a delight! The boys were calling him Uncle Jay by the end of the trip! He was so welcoming!! We will be back!

Property is very nice. Jay the property manager was excellent. Felt very comfy and welcoming. I wood stay here again for sure. Five stars

Didn’t stay even stay the night. Left after a couple hours due to staff conduct.

Serene getaway location with cabin style amenities. Jay was terrific, thank you for the hospitality!

The property was old but nice. The grounds were beautiful and the mattress was very comfortable.

Although the rooms need updates, it was so clean with a friendly and helpful host. Even had muffins & coffee in the morning. Quiet. Clean. Beautiful grounds.

I paid $219 for one night and couldn’t wait to get out of the place. They actually had a sign in the bathroom telling you not to flush toilet paper down the toilet because the toilet would clog. The room that the bed was in was so small you couldn’t walk around the bed. The front door had a 1/2 inch gap under it so all the bugs and critters could get in. The bathroom sink had no stopper and the kitchen stove and hood was full of grease I would never recommend or stay there again

The man running the property was beyond kind. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. The Pom was basic but did the job. I would definitely be back. And great location to enjoy the coast and the river.

Great host! Room was just ok, needs remodel.

The grounds were beautiful, but the room we were in was old and musty, the beds were old and uncomfortable, and the floor was gross.

The garden areas were beautiful, but the room was less than except able. Can’t believe your company represents this place. Dirty carpets, bathroom smelled like mold and no bath soap. This place is so far from Californias building code, it’s a mess.

The manager was very friendly and helpful. He was right there when we parked. He lent us an excellent pair of binoculars and a corkscrew. The room was very clean. The view of the grounds and the river were exquisite. We would return in a heartbeat!

This place is so beautiful and quiet and Right next to the River. I was able to relax and have a stargazing night. Waking up to the sound of happy birds was priceless! The person in charge of the property is supper cool, supper friendly and made us feel welcome and at home. Loved that a light breakfast was offered to us in the morning. This is the second time I’m there and I will definitely keep coming back! :)

The resort is an aged Russian River classic, so it is important not to expect sleek modern amenities. We love this about it, but maybe not every traveler would. The property is gorgeous, the location is fabulous, and the host couldn't be kinder!
