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.

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!

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.

Great lodge and river experience
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

GREAT PLACE (but don't tell too many people!)
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!

Riverside retreat -- amazing location
if you are looking for upscale experience this isn't place for you. If you are looking to stay in a unique lodge with its own character with an amazing location, common kitchen area, meet and greet other guests. This is an amazing lodge for families, couples and elderly. We had an amazing stay and Elvin is great!

Great, unique stay.
Really great stay. We came in Thursday and only one of the other 12 rooms was booked in March. The place is an old hunting lodge and it’s nestled among redwoods by the Russian River. Guests have the run of Downstairs including a stocked refrigerator and pots and pans to cook. Al, the owner is very cool and unique. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to be back. Go midweek if possible as it can be loud if you have a bunch of other guests.

It’s a fun old fashioned lodge with a comunal kitchen and a cool main room with a fire place and books. It’s a little rustic and rooms are oldish, but if you get a room facing the river and with a balcony, you will be happy. Rooms facing the street could be a little noisy , if one is sensitive.

Blankets were too few and thin for a sub-freezing winter night. Needed to run the heat so high that both my partner and I couldn't sleep well and woke up dehydrated.

This property was quite lovely and right on the Russian River. The staff was super helpful and friendly. Just a heads up on staying in one of the family rooms. They have a bunk bed and a pull out bed and no separate queen bed. The pull out bed is small and mattress is super hard. The bunk bed takes up the entire room as its a massive piece of furniture. There is no AC in the rooms and the windows don't have screens so you have to leave the windows open and its a bit of a spidery mess outside. Fortunately the spiders stay outside. The mosquitoes do come inside though. Also the room faces the road so you hear all the road noise all night long. The other rooms in the place are nice and spacious. The family room is just a bit less than desirable and at $350/night its pricey for what it is.

Beautiful historical lodge. Good value. Only concern is acoustics. Can hear other guests. But they provide ear plugs. Nice breakfast snacks, good coffee, and a library to swoon over with a huge fireplace.

Will never return
We stayed here because it was the only room left in town. Beds were uncomfortable, pillows were flat as a pancake, cobwebs everywhere in the room (walls, bathroom, windows), mold/mildew in shower, refrigeratordid not work and some of our food went bad. Then to top it off, when at breakfast, the cook was not masked and when setting down plate of eggs, large amount of spit came out of her mouth. Needless to say, we didn't eat.

I can only give two stars and they are for the kind woman who runs the front desk. Unfortunately this place is extremely run down and the deck and grounds are in need of a serious overhaul. The place is extremely loud. So unless you are the heaviest sleeper on the planet, be prepared to hear everything from your neighbors including nose blowing, teeth brushing and conversation. The conversation downstairs in the lobby/library even echoes/vibrates loudly to the second floor. The deck and grounds look nothing like the pics. The Shower leaks rust when turned on. The bed comforter definitely needed to be cleaned. Definitely won’t stay here again.
