Such a beautiful place to stay at, even during a rainstorm i couldn’t stop admiring the view and how comfortable the cottage was.

The place exceeded our expectations. It was so beautiful and the property itself was great. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all meals and we enjoyed the jacuzzi and firepit for the evenings. I would definitely stay here again.

Clean, beautifully situated riverfront home. Highly recommend.

Cozy & Quiet

Beautiful great place for family or small group gathering!

We loved our stay at Riverwood Cottage. It is a large riverfront property. The house is small but very comfortable and well-appointed. The owner was very responsive when I had a question. We especially appreciated the fireplace, view, and gorgeous dog-friendly yard. It rained a lot but we were very cozy in the house and loved watched the river rise. There is even a small store in walking distance. The oven is tricky so bring foods that are for stovetop cooking.

We had a great week at Riverwood. The house is spotless, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the beds were very comfortable. It was grey and drizzling so we didn't get to spend much time enjoying the huge yard, but the hot tub on the deck was very relaxing. We will be back.

Nice property with amazing grounds. Only minor complaint is the shower in a clawfoot tub is not terribly comfortable.

Beautiful little home in a beautiful area. Amazing views of the trees, hills, and river. Hot tub was fabulous! Cozy fireplace and wonderful beds with big fluffy duvets. Would love to come back!

Beautiful place, had a great time !

There was no beach area access and not very private also traffic and barking dogs at night.

My mom and I stand here for Labor Day weekend, and our first impression of the cottage was how incredibly clean it was and how it was equipped with any kitchen tool/appliance you would ever need! The area around the property was quiet and safe. Easy access to get into the river, and it was nice having a hot tub to get into when it was cold outside. Overall highly recommend staying here!

What a magical spot to stay on the river.

My wife and I stayed here for our 10 yr anniversary and it was absolutely perfect. The grounds are huge and pristine, with a little path that winds down to the river. We brought stand up paddle boards and it was relatively easy to get out out on the water. The river is calm and great for kayaking, SUPs, etc (at least in late August). The house itself is very small, but well appointed and clean. You can walk to a local market, or across the bridge and explore Monte Rio. Sangeeta was a wonderful host. Highly recommend!

The host of this darling cottage has thought of every detail. It is stocked with everything! The view is beautiful, with gorgeous flowers in bloom, ferns and Redwoods abound. There are so many sitting areas to relax and take in the beauty, including the quiet and private jacuzzi. There are also inter tubes and rafts for floating down the river. We definitely plan to stay again!

My husband, 9-year old twin boys, and rescue pup had an incredible visit to Riverwood Cottage. We stayed for 5-nights and wished we could have extended our visit. The property was meticulously clean when we arrived, and the owner, Sangeeta was extremely communicative and made the entire check-in and stay very seamless. We greatly enjoyed spending time on the deck taking in the views, and running around in the large well-maintained yard. The property felt very private and secure, and we had no worries with the kiddos running around to explore. The river access was fun and we ended up spending a bit of time floating and swimming near the house. You couldn't beat the location with it's close proximity to the ocean, Redwoods, as well as wonderful restaurants nearby. Our kids are already asking when we can go back, as this property will definitely be in our future travel plans.

Excellent rental, perfect location, phenomenal yard w great river access. We had a great time enjoying the river playing badminton in the large yard and warm fireplace in the evening. A perfect weekend with the family.

We loved our stay here. House is clean, located in a quiet neighborhood with spacious yard and deck. Spent our days out on the lawn reading books and our evenings in the tub stargazing. We will be back!

Lovely rural location. Very relaxing. The setting is great.

This was our second stay at this beautiful location. So breathtaking, relaxing and plenty of options to play. The new upgrades and amenities are gorgeous. This home away from home is an excellent place for couples to get away and relax amongst the Redwoods or bring the whole family including the dog and play in the river or on the large grassy property. The host, Sangeeta, is the best host we've ever worked with. She responds quickly and is very kind. We will definitely be going back!

Nice home in a beautiful location.

Spent a long weekend here. The house is clean and updated. The property is nestled along the shore but amongst the redwoods. Hot tub is great and communication with host was superb. We would stay here again.

Nice location to return to from ocean or inland tours. Lots of hiking in the area.

This cute little cottage was amazing! The backyard with views of the river was so relaxing. We enjoyed the hot tub on the deck and the quiet of the location.

We had a wonderful time at the Riverwood Cottage. The owner was very responsive to questions and access was very clear and easy. The cottage is so cute inside and beautiful outside! We were a family of 3 plus our dog and the size was just right for us. The large back yard was a treat for us and our dog but the yard is not fully fenced in. Luckily our dog comes when called but we had to keep an eye out on her as she did disappeared once, but came back when called. We enjoyed the fire pit and indoor fireplace as it was rather chilly while we were there. The kitchen had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. The bathroom has an old fashioned claw footed tub which was fun to see but difficult to access for anyone with mobility issues. There is the large shower down below the main living level that can be used if needed, but it was cold so we didn't use it. We really enjoyed the Riverwood Cottage!

Amazing location and outdoor living area. The inside is updated, clean and has everything you need. We can’t wait to come back!

What was supposed to be a romantic 30th anniversary getaway with my husband morphed into an emergency "escape" with my 22-year-old and dog after a tree fell on our house during an extreme rain/wind storm. I wasn't in the best frame of mind during my stay, but the home provided a few days' refuge during a difficult time, and the hot tub helped me relax. Sangeeta's place was clean and well-appointed. The grounds and views are beautiful and scenic. I had no issue whatsoever with cell phone service (I'm a Verizon subscriber). As there is no direct river access during the winter, we walked the 10-minute walk across the bridge to the dog-friendly beach area each day. There is a very decent restaurant along that walking route that made surprisingly delicious food and there is a market close by. Despite being somewhat sparsely furnished, the home is very comfortable with many functional/space saving touches--like the side cubbies on the bed, the pull-out leaves on the dining table and the stacked washer-dryer in the bedroom closet. I hope to return during happier times.

If I could have given zero stars, I would have. We arrived at this property during unprecedented flooding in the area. We contacted the owner several days before arriving to confirm that the area was safe and the property was not flooded. The owner assured that us that everything was fine. However, we arrived to find rushing, debris filled flood water surrounding the house. The yard pictured in the listing was completely under water and was unrecognizable from the pictures on VRBO. When I contacted the owner again upon arriving, we were told that the house was “safe” and our concerns were downplayed. Concerned for our safety, we immediately searched for other accommodations and were lucky enough to find another VRBO rental in the area that was not flooded. We spent less than 20 minutes at this property and notified the owner that we were leaving because of the property’s condition. Despite this, the owner refused to allow us to cancel the booking or provide a refund of any amount, not even the “cleaning fee” or “service fee” (which were clearly inappropriate given that we never stayed at the property). Instead, the owner insisted that the property was “completely fine” and characterized the widespread flooding as the “winter experience” as though someone would choose to put their family in such danger. Think twice before booking this property. We have stayed at VRBOs all over the world and have never had an experience like this.

The house is extremely clean, and conveniently located. We had a great time and will definitely return. The owner was very helpful and responsive.

This was a short retreat for my husband and me, just a few days. Finding the house was easy per the directions. And it was all that the photos and description said it would be--perfect for the two of us (and our dog). The entire property is beautiful and I'm certain we will be back in the warmer months to do more activities outside, on the river!

The property is beautiful the house is great. We loved the firepit and hot tub and its right on the river. We would rent this home again. Thanks Sangeeta for being a wonderful Host! Monica R.

We enjoyed this home and the river views. Cozy cabin having lots of usable deck area and the hot tub is a plus. The property is fenced with a large lawn area which was great for our dog. We didn't use the lower area under the deck since it is off season but would be a great space when the weather is warm. Also appreciated the modern amenities and fully stocked kitchen.
