Al, the owner, is a great guy and very accommodating. We loved the old school vibe of the place and exploring the grounds. River access, redwoods on property and a wonderful old timey vibe. We will be back in the summer for some camping!
The owner and housekeeper were so friendly and welcoming! We literally felt like we were statimg in our own home while we were there! Such a gem location and very peaceful oasis! We are definitely going to stay there again next year!
Quaint and cozy lodge by the river and just off Guerneville’s main strip. We came to get out of the city for the weekend and the vibe of this place really makes you feel like you’re away from it all. Thanks for having us!
A great location on a busy event weekend. I love the rustic charm, the hospitality, the view of the river. The furnishings were homey and lodge style. The large room with a big fire place , the large deck and green space makes this a great river experience
It is an amazing, unique place, with tons of character and a real feel of being in a "lodge." The location is fabulous and all the "amenities" fit exactly with what we wanted to do. We'll be back!
The lodge is very conveniently located 2 minutes from downtown Guerneville. The property is easy to get to, very close to the Russian River, and though the rooms are fairly tiny, and walkway is slightly noisy and slippery, we enjoyed its rustic charm.
A beautiful place with rustic charm. It was a last-minute reservation, and I am very glad to have booked two nights. It isn't modern or flashy but, it is perfect for the riverside environment it inhabits. The host is very nice and works at making the common areas feel like home. There is a fun energy around the grounds that strikes memories of summer camp. Amongst the other guest that were mostly families, my partner and I enjoyed the social energy which the facilities are set to encourage. If you are up for fun this is the place to be.
Wonderful stay! Nice surprise like stepping back in time with good ole fashioned wholesome atmosphere! No TV! Great place to relax and have nice conversations in the library, outside many sitting areas, walk to river or just around grounds!
Great property, great old building with lots of charm and beautiful grounds with easy access to the river. Easily walkable to town. If you want modern conveniences this is not the place for you. But if you prefer charm and character (including the people:) stay here.

Not a bad place.
The hot tub was nice. It was nice and dark on the patio allowing a nice view of the stars while having a good soak.
The common area was a big lodge room with a fire going which was a nice touch on a cold night.
The room was okay. The beds were comfy but small and next to the road so we heard every vehicle that passed.
It would be a great place to buy out for a big party.
This property is very rustic and difficult to find after dark. It's a beautifully situated spot on the Russian River during the season. It's very casual with a large lawn, fire pits, BBQ, basketball. Great for family gatherings when it's warm. My only contact with the owner was on the phone. Al helped me find the property. If you don't go after dark and don't care about things like properly installed smoke detectors, then you'll probably have a good stay. Also, it was pricey even for an off season resort. I'm from Monterey, CA But Guerneville is much smaller. Check pricing carefully. Some rooms are more expensive than the advertised price.
This is a great spot; the room was small but perfect for our needs and the property is absolutely stunning, great views, amazing hot tub, and the owner was so friendly and engaging. I will definitely stay here again.
