Sink into your private hot tub as redwoods tower overhead, their scent mingling with the woodsmoke from neighboring chimneys. This coral-colored A-frame welcomes you and your pup with contemporary comfort wrapped in classic cabin charm. Room for 6 in two bedrooms plus a sleeper sofa. Just 0.8 miles to Monte Rio Beach and 0.2 miles to Northwood Restaurant. The Russian River's unhurried rhythm sets the pace here — kayaking, golf, and riverside dining all within minutes.
The space
Spend mornings on the deck as mist lifts off the Russian River, afternoons floating the river or visiting Korbel and Joseph Jewell tasting rooms, and evenings around the firepit with the day's bottles.
An open great room holds two seating areas — sofas around a leather ottoman, plus a burgundy reading chair — all framed by forest through large windows. Abstract artwork pops against white walls and honey-toned wood trim. Dramatic black granite with bold veining tops the U-shaped kitchen, with light wood cabinets and a French door fridge alongside the gas range. A peninsula seats four for bar dining beneath a skylight — coffee at sunrise lands here, every time.
OUTDOOR LIVING
The expansive stone-tiled deck becomes your outdoor living room. A wicker sectional creates a lounge area, a high-top table with bar stools invites alfresco meals, and the gas grill handles evening barbecues. Then slip into your private hot tub as stars peek through the redwood canopy.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Two queen bedrooms — the first with glass doors to the deck, the second with built-in closets. Both showcase exposed beam ceilings and forest views. A queen sofa bed in the living room accommodates extra guests. Sleeps 6.

Guest access
Drop into the private hot tub on the deck under exposed wood beams, then cook out at the deck kitchen as the redwoods close in. You've got the whole home, dogs welcome, with a jetted tub for the soak after, a balcony off the main level, and outdoor dining among the trees. Punch in the keypad code at the door; the garage fits two officially, four if you tandem them in.
Things to know
• The home's radiant floor heating keeps you cozy on cool forest mornings — no traditional AC needed as the redwood canopy and cross-ventilation naturally cool the space even on warm summer days.
• Your smart TV connects to your streaming accounts for movie nights.
• The Pack-N-Play in the closet makes traveling with little ones easier.
• Monte Rio's charm lies in its authentic, unhurried pace — this isn't a resort town but a genuine river community where the dress code is swimsuits and sandals.
• Cell service can be spotty under the redwoods, but the home's internet keeps you connected when needed.
• The primary renter must be 21 or older.
• For the best river experience, bring water shoes — the rocky riverbed makes them essential for comfortable swimming.
• Highway 116 runs through town, so you may hear some road noise, but it quiets considerably at night when the forest sounds take over.

Great house. Look forward to a return visit next year.
Clean, great location, easy walk to coffee shop, restaurant and golf course. Nice quiet streets to take a walk. Easy drive to River beaches and town. Well equipped, clean and spacious. Nice outdoor deck under the trees and nice spa. Highly recommend.
Also, the management company went the extra mile to return clothing that I had left in the closet. Very good customer service.

We really enjoyed our stay! We didn’t mind being right by the road and the traffic noise didn’t bother us so it wasn’t an issue for our family.
The place was clean and cozy. We really appreciated hot tub and the porch and while we got out to enjoy the river and the woods, a lot of time was spent on the porch just relaxing. The house provided the peace and comfort we needed. It was wonderful and we would rent again.

Overall, the cabin was very nice, with more than enough room for my wife and me. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we were especially pleased with all the knotty pine and the big wooden beams overhead. The cabin was also conveniently located close to the attractions the area is known for, including the big redwoods, shops, wine tasting, and, of course, the river.On the downside, it's quite noisy, and the cabin is right next to the main highway that goes through town. Although the cabin is nestled among the redwoods and is quite scenic, the noise is a definite deterrent, especially at 7:00 am. Bring earplugs for sure.The house could also benefit from a bit more maintenance. The wood floors were super squeaky, there were a couple of burned-out light bulbs, and the jacuzzi cover was covered with bird poop when we arrived. The square table cover outside was also torn, and the candle underneath was pretty disgusting and needs to be replaced.Finally, I feel like we paid a lot more than the cabin was worth, and the cleaning fee seemed really high. Maybe this is just due to the season and the typical supply and demand for the area. Overall, it was a nice cabin, and we enjoyed our stay, but next time, we'll stay somewhere a bit quieter, and perhaps a bit less expensive.
