Redwood Lodge sleeps 4 adults across two bedrooms and a private loft sleeping area — with one of the bedrooms tucked off the garage for guests who'd rather have their own space. The wraparound deck looks out over the Russian River through redwood crowns. Steps from Northwood Golf Club, a mile from Monte Rio Beach, and dog-friendly. Out here, the only schedule that matters is sunrise and sunset.
The space
Redwood Lodge is a traditional A-frame on the Russian River, with exposed pine-beam cathedral ceilings rising above walls of glass that open onto the redwood canopy. Original lines and warm wood throughout -- not a modern remodel, but a true classic A-frame cabin with all the character that comes with one. River and mountain views frame the 1,100-square-foot interior.
Spend mornings on the wraparound deck with coffee and the river canyon below, afternoons on the redwood trails or in the Russian River Valley tasting rooms, and evenings around the dining table comparing notes from the day's bottles.
The open living space centers on a dark leather sectional facing the wall-mounted TV, with tile floors, layered area rugs, and large windows framing the redwoods on every side. The galley kitchen, lined with light wood cabinets, comes fully equipped -- dishwasher, full-size fridge, and counter space enough for two cooks. A wooden dining table seats six under a chandelier, with a china cabinet ready for the day's tasting-room finds.
OUTDOOR LIVING
The wraparound deck makes the most of the hillside -- a dining table with umbrella, a gas grill for riverside barbecues, and lounge seating angled toward the forested ridges and distant mountain views.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Two queen bedrooms plus a private loft sleeping area sleep four adults. The main-floor bedroom sits beside the living area with its own sliding door onto the deck. The loft sleeping area is up its own staircase, tucked under the A-frame ceiling and served by a private bathroom — there's no door between the loft and the living area below, so think of it as an open suite (private in feel, but not fully enclosed). The second bedroom is off the garage and offers a private retreat for guests who'd rather not share — no central heat, but a space heater is provided.

Guest access
The whole lodge is yours, including the wraparound deck with outdoor dining and a gas grill. Parking is for up to 2 cars in the narrow driveway. Check-in is at 4 PM via smart-lock keypad code; check-out by 10 AM.
Things to know
The fireplace and wood stove in photos are decorative only -- a portable space heater is in the bedroom off the garage if you need supplemental heat. Occupancy is capped at 4 adults.
A set of interior stairs leads up to the main level of the house. The home sits right on the Russian River, but the property itself doesn't have direct river access. There's no air conditioning -- the redwood canopy and the home's elevated design catch river breezes and keep the interior naturally cool, even on warm summer days.
High-speed internet runs throughout the home. Dogs are welcome and must be leashed outdoors since the property isn't fenced. The surrounding roads are narrow and winding, typical of Russian River properties. Monte Rio observes quiet hours from 10 PM to 7 AM, and outdoor amplified sound isn't permitted. Minimum age to book is 21.

Cozy cabin in a beautiful location surrounded by redwood forest. The property doesn’t have direct access to the river, but the deck offers a lovely view of it. While the cabin could use a few updates, that didn’t take away from our stay. We really enjoyed our time there.

Very cozy cabin vibes. The view was amazing. Easy to find, close to our favorite river beach, older amenities but that’s exactly what we were looking for. Something that felt like it was a family summer home. We went when it wasn’t very hot, it got quite cold at night but there was a ton of cozy blankets and we enjoyed looking at the stars on the massive deck. Hosts we’re very detailed, and kept constant steady communication, which made me feel safe and secured.

The house is located in a beautiful redwood grove looking over the Russian river which we could see from the deck. The communal space was very comfortable including a well stocked kitchen with everything you could need, full size dining room table, and a very comfortable living room with a TV that was all set up.
The only reason they have a less than prefix score was that the lock mechanism was very difficult to use. They forgot to give us the key code, and there is a stench of mildew in the carpet especially at the entrance. The place needs to be painted and some of the sliding doors didn’t work well. Once we got in and opened the windows we were much happier.
