Rio Nido Retreat
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday living at this sweet Rio Nido cabin, a cozy, updated home that provides the perfect romantic getaway or small family vacation in a towering grove of redwoods. After a day spent exploring the Russian River or the many nearby wineries, you can prepare a homemade meal in the modern kitchen with sleek granite countertops. On warm summer nights, relax and unwind in the enclosed yard and breathe in the fragrance of the surrounding coastal redwoods.
What's nearby:
Rio Nido Retreat is a long walk or a short drive from the shores of the Russian River, where you can swim, fish, and kayak in beautiful surroundings. You'll be less than two miles northeast of downtown Guerneville, which features grocery stores, shops, restaurants, as well as Johnson's Beach and Guerneville River Park right at the river's edge. To retreat into nature for the morning, head over to Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve three miles west. You'll also be only a mile north of Stumptown Brewery and a short, scenic drive from dozens of world-class wineries to the east on River Road.

We enjoyed our stay in Rio Nido! We walked to the lodge for dinner most nights and access to the river was close by. The internet was fast and kept us connected while working remotely for a few days. Looking forward to our next stay in this cute house in the redwoods!

We came back for the third year in a row to enjoy this cabin. It is always clean, updated appliances and easy access to The Roadhouse, pool, the river and just 2 miles to Guerneville. It is surrounded with magnificent redwoods and is quiet and brings on a sense of calm. We brought an inflatable air mattress for my granddaughter since the kids are getting older and they need their own beds rather then sharing the double bed on the lower bunk of the bunk beds. Plenty of room in the living room for the air mattress. Thanks again for the lovely stay.

We truly enjoyed our time at this location. The door lock is a bit tricky but this could be the result of operator error! We've utilized VRBO many times, and this was not a disappointment! It was perfect for us in so many ways and we look forward to returning soon! Thank you!

If you’re like me, you like things to be simple & clean! It has all the above & then some! Location is perfect, less than 10 minutes to stores, restaurants, etc. It’s very roomy so perfect for larger families! There’s 2 parking spaces, but could possibly fit more. Only request is earlier access if available!

I met my family out here for a weekend trip, my weekend anyhow, and we had dinner here at the house and played cards against humanity. Rio Nido is such a cute little spot nestled in the redwoods.

The street to arrive was one lane. Which was disclosed with the access code and to late to cancel reservations. The instructions indicated we could not park on the street. Yet lots of neighbors did making it more difficult to drive up and down the street. The house two doors down and had for large trucks park on the street as he was remodeling his house. We had no access to our street to get in or out. We drove up the street and could find how to get to the main road. So anger this was not in the listing.
Also the large light in the kitchen was out. Cooking with a small light in the kitchen was terrible. The cleaners left one roll of toilet paper for six people for four nights.
I won’t use vrbo again. I use vrbo several time and the property didn’t disclose some very important information.

Only downside is zero flexibility!! This is 4pm-10am and no room for any extensions. Not sure if I would go back. For a family it needs more utensils and dishes unless you want to run the dishwasher or wash dishes constantly. Very close to neighbors but great spot

Long Weekend Stay
Very clean and dog friendly! The beds are very comfortable and so is the couch. The tv works well and has Netflix. Great DVD collection and basic necessities in the kitchen provided. Easy to book and check in/out. The neighborhood is really nice for short walks and it isn’t too far from Safeway and the River which is a bonus. The heat controls on the wall were hard to find because they’re behind the TV but work well. We had booked under the impression that there was a hot tub and there isn’t. Also there is no backyard it is just a small side of the house with a four person table and bbq on the walkway. The sliding glass door and several windows have no curtains or blinds and the fences aren’t tall enough to offer privacy which feels like a safety issue. The wall with the sliding glass door and two big long windows with no curtains or blinds has a camera outside of it like we may have been watched inside the home. Very friendly neighborhood except for one neighbor next door who talks very loudly and seemed constantly upset and angry outside at all hours of the night every night keeping us awake and one night I was taking a bath and heard thumps on the window every so often like little rocks were hitting it at the same time that I could hear that same neighbor on their side of the fence right where the bathroom was on our side which freaked us out so much that we were debating either calling the police or just leaving right then because we didn’t feel safe anymore. We very much felt like that neighbor was spying on us and doing small odd things to mess with us our entire stay which was scary since we were two women staying there by ourselves to the point that we stayed indoors and were very uncomfortable. There is also zero cell reception and the WiFi isn’t great so when we tried calling the property manager about it we couldn’t. Other than the strange neighbor though and lack of privacy we had a nice time.

Cute Little House
We enjoyed our stay in this Rio Nido home. The only draw back was a lack of silverware (four forks, three spoons). The house is nestled in among many other houses so there's no yard and little privacy but all around it was a nice place to be.

very comfortable
This a very comfortable, pet & kid friendly home. Beautifully remodeled and well furnished. This home is in a canyon, so streets are super narrow and neighborhood is a bit funky, but is conveniently located close to public & dog-friendly river access points and close to downtown Guerneville. We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect house for our family of 2 adults, 2 schooler boys and a 1 yr old baby girl for a quick spring break vacation. We did our booking late (just the week before we planned to go), but the instant booking on vacasa was very helpful. The lovely house is conveniently located in Rio Nido, which is 5 min away from Guerneville, and right next to Russian River. Rio Nido is such a unique little town, so well situated in the redwood. The house is well equipped with entertainments both for adults and children (DVDs, Wii, toys, books for both kids and adults); beds are very clean and comfy. I took a nap with my baby girl one afternoon, feeling soo calm observing the sky high straight redwoods with two playful blue jays chirping. It was exactly what we needed in mid of the busy work/school life! Would recommend replenishing more cutlery in the kitchen.

Nice little place, no wifi!
Totally adequate, clean and nice little house--we could not get wifi so there was major stress for the younger set who had to actually communicate in real time with human beings in front of them! If you have to do work this wouldn't be so great!

Comfortable Russian River Retreat
This is a very nice house in Rio Nido, a few miles from Guernville. We had a great time and will have fond memories of eating dinner in the backyard surrounded by beautiful redwoods.

Short get-away
Proper was as described. There appears to be a furnace but there does not appear to be a cooling system in the house. It happened to go above 90 on one of the days we were there, so it was a bit uncomfortable in the evening but it eventually cooled down. Are was quiet for the most part and had easy access to town.

Wonderful Rio Nido Retreat
The house was wonderful. Very comfortable, clean with a well-stocked kitchen. The neighborhood was quiet and very reminiscent of the Russian River neighborhood I lived in for many years. The only difficulty was trying to figure out the television. "Use the Samsung remote" isn't really good instructions for older people who aren't up to speed with technology. However, it did provide an opportunity to meet Jennifer, the property manager, who was wonderful and very helpful.

Nice place, but unhelpful property managers, and A/C does not work!!
The house was nice and clean and had many toys for preschool aged children. Nice dvd collection and wii games (which we didn't use). Well-stocked kitchen supplies and nice grill outside. Very small fenced "yard", with enough space for table with four chairs and grill. The bathroom sink drain did not open, and the water drained very slowly.
It was 90 degrees the days we were there and the A/C didn't work. There is no breeze when you open the windows since it is in a canyon, so it was 80 degrees in the house. There was one fan available in the house. We called the management company about 5 times. They always answered and said they would call a repair person to come and get back to us. They never got back to us and never fixed the problem. The last time we called they said they would send some more fans over and give us a partial refund on our stay. We never got the fans and we are still waiting for a refund. They also mentioned that the previous guests had complained about the A/C not working, but it was still not fixed.

Beautiful home tucked in the forest
The house was perfect for our family of 4 and doggo. Close to several river access points, town and several points of interest including hiking, boating, swimming, gravel beaches and restaurants. My kids loved the bunk beds and an abundance of toys, movies and books to keep them thoroughly entertained. I don't know if it was excessive humidity or other factors but the washer and shower curtain had some mold.

Not so lovely
The home was not cleaned prior to my arrival after a nearly 500 mile drive. It took three hours and three phone calls with Vacasa to get their approval to stay at a hotel the first night. The house is nice (once cleaned) and well stocked with amenities. But, the surrounding neighborhood is very run-down. There is almost no usable exterior space and three other houses are only a few feet away, all of them are dirty and appear to be inhabited by hoarders. A neighbor's car was parked in the small parking area when I arrived. The small amount of exterior space is unmaintained with cast off buckets, scraps of paper and dog waste.
