We visited this lovely restaurant/hotel for dinner on a cold Sunday night in November…read more They have a lot of weddings, as it had a large hall with bright lights and folding chairs/tables. Not inviting so we sat at a high boy in the darkened bar, which was much nicer. I'm sure it's beautiful to sit on the balcony in the summer on warm nights. We chatted with the German owner who was doubling as a bartender, who was very nice. We loved the German influences in the bar, as we had just been to Oktoberfest in Munich. The owner's daughter Sarah runs the kitchen. My husband had a pork tenderloin schnitzel "Vienna style" ($20) and I had a jaegerschnizel with mushroom gravy ($20) and both were excellent. We split the potato pancakes (two with sour cream and apple sauce, $12) which were served crispy but tasty. They had a nice German beer and wine list. We finished with a delicious apple strudel to complete a lovely meal. I recommend this restaurant for tasty dinners in a unique venue.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Highland Dell Lodge along the Russian river. It was just…read morebefore the season starts, and we were the only one in the building, kinda nice to have it all to ourselves! The staff was very friendly and helpful and while we knew there would be a breakfast, we had no idea it would be so extensive and wonderful. Beautifully positioned along the Russian river with views of the beach and the bridge this place harkens back to the hay day years of the Russian River and a whole history worth examining. I will look forward to staying here again in the future!

We stayed in a King Riverview studio unit on the ground floor in early November for our…read moreanniversary. We arrived a little early which the owner said was fine (they live onsite) but they were out to lunch upon checkin. They told us our room number and the door was unlocked. It had a nice deck with umbrella, but the weather was cold and foggy so we didn't use it. Room was nice but a bit dark and we could hear every word the upstairs guests were saying, so recommend staying on top units, even though you'll need to walk around in the summer to the river. The unit had a fridge, microwave, small stove, sitting area with tv, and small bathroom. It was a bit cold as the fake fireplace didn't work, but the AC / heater in wall unit did work. We couldn't sleep with it on because it was quite noisy. The Inn is in a pretty location right on the river but they have tons of weddings in the summer so it might be overrun with wedding guests and the ceremony / reception if you go (be sure to ask about it). They have a nice gazebo with coffee and ice and an outdoor fire pit which we didn't use. It's right in the town of Monte Rio which has a grocery store, coffee shop, movie theater in town. We golfed at Northwoods which is about 10 minutes down the road, and had dinner across the bridge at a German place which was quite good. At over $300/night, not sure it was worth it, but it was our anniversary and something different. The owners were very nice and improving the property. I would return in summer if there wasn't a wedding taking place.

My husband and I frequently stay in VRBO homes along the Russian River, and have had to contact…read moreRussian River Vacations Homes during several of our stays (for one reason or another). We have consistently been provided with immediate and excellent service; the agents are not only thoughtful, but have always resolved our issues quickly -- and engaged in creative "problem solving" when needed. Our recent stay was initially problematic. But thanks to the Russian River Vacation Homes staff -- our vacation went from being "challenging" to "fabulous" and we now can't wait to return to this vacation home. A special thanks (and kudos!) to Kim and Alyssa -- you guys are the best!

Recently I rented a cabin for the weekend through Russian River Vacation…read moreHomes. It was a beautiful cabin on the river called Casa Luna. The only problem is there is a Russian Orthodox Church next door at least 50 people in wall to wall tents camped in the driveway on the Saturday night. They were incredibly loud and singing church songs in Russian all night. The kids were literally running around screaming and throwing rocks next door at Casa Luna. It was very upsetting and all Russian River Vacation Homes said was sorry. They knew that this happens several times a year. I should have gotten my $ back.

From the moment we checked in with warm and very accommodating Gina, to when we checked out, we…read morefelt happy we found this place. Everything we need were available and straightforward. Our 5-people place was very comfortable and very nice with a fireplace. We appreciate the convenience, close proximity to great places like Saucy Mama, cafe in Guerneville, and of course the River! Love our surroundings with the redwoods and the appliances were aesthetic and almost new! Oh yea, Angela was super nice too! We would definitely consider staying here again in the future as needed!

We found this place online. We were looking for a hotel with…read more2 beds for 2 nights. After seeing the pictures and reading the description, we booked the room. There is a no refund policy, which means you cannot cancel your reservations. This place is very expensive, more than what we wanted to spend. With it being summer, peak season, and no other rooms within 75 miles, we had no options but to take it. The place is very old, very very old. They said that they newly renovated. The repainted, put in new linoleum floors, super cheap beds, they are really cots with a soft matress put on top, they are not real beds. They give you a child size table and 2 child size chairs to sit on. A mini fridge, which is okay, and a very tiny microwave. They do not do yard maintenance, even though they say it is more natural and organic and better for wildlife, and to save water. They said the mow every 2-3 weeks. There are huge rosemary shrubs in front of all of the rooms. They are overgrown and should be trimmed, your view is blocked. There are a few plastic tables and Adirondack type chairs out in the field, but nothing near your room if you want to sit outside. There is a nice pool which they lock up every night at 7pm, so your family has to get out at 7pm. The bathrooms are small but come with towels, etc. They have hair dryers, soap and shampoo. We had a few issues our room, I reported it to the 800 number, whom told the manager. He called me and we discussed the issues, and said thank you, that he was unaware of those issue and he will fix them. I was satisfied with my conversation with the manager, he was very professional and understanding. Thank you Xavier. This place is next to Northwwods golf course. There is a restaurant at the golf course. Next door is a little cafe with good food. It is quiet and peaceful here except for a few noisy tenants. $320 per night is way too much for this place. See photos. It should be no more that $129 per night.

The decore and antiques reflect the local nostalgia of the area. Recently put on the rental market.
