Cottages On River Road

We stayed here for just 1 night and I wish we could have stayed for a whole week! We ended up getting a free upgrade and our room was delightful. It was a true one-​bedroom, complete with a full bathroom, living room with kitchenette, and even a little office. There was also a porch with a table and chairs outside. There is a fire pit with smores each night in the communal area, and there is breakfast in the front office in the morning. It’s in such a wonderful location right in downtown Guerneville, and the price was very fair. The garden area was beautiful and I’m happy that it is dog friendly (though we unfortunately didn’t have our dog with us for this trip). I would highly recommend staying here, and I hope to return myself.

On a spontaneous road trip to Salt Point, this was our hotel of choice for a much needed R&R. Nestled between the serene redwood forest and the Russian River, it was the absolute perfect place for a quick getaway from the city. Quaint, quiet, clean, affordable, friendly & accommodating staff, fast internet, AND free breakfast– there’s nothing to complain about here.
We only stayed for one night, so I have no comments about the room service. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. There’s lots of parking out front, a pool, a small laundry room, and a pet area. There’s even a fire pit where they have complimentary smores every night from 7 – 9 pm, weather permitting. The little cart full of skewers, Graham crackers, marshmallows, Hershey bars, and Reeses peanut butter cups was such a treat!
My queen studio for $ 150 was small but well stocked. There was a fridge, microwave, coffee machine, generous Numi tea selection, cable TV, and free fast internet. Beds were heavenly. The feather down comforter kept me warm all night.
My favorite amenity had to be the cute jar full of things needed for a restful sleep, such as ear plugs, eye mask, and camomile tea. Our room was situated somewhat farther away from the road, so we couldn’t hear any car noises except for the ambulance. But if you’re sensitive to noise, the jar will come in handy.
In the morning, the cool fresh forest air was so lovely I stood outside for a good 15 minutes just deep breathing. A light breakfast of pastries, hard boiled eggs, toast, yogurt, and fresh fruit was provided.
Overall, an excellent place to stay!

This place is so cute!!! The very spacious, comfortable cottages are set up with wine glasses for indoor & outdoor use, popcorn, a microwave & fridge, a Keurg with coffee, and a cute little dream package with earplugs, tea and face masks! They had a fire at night with all of the fixings for s’mores and a continental breakfast in the morning! Overall very nice people and a great B&B experience with a private cottage! The area is super cute too with a Brewery across the street & lots of wineries nearby!

My husband and I had the unfortunate fate of staying here for a wedding. I contacted the staff a few times to see if we could check in early so we could get ready for the wedding we were attending. Each time we were assured that an early check in should not be a problem and that they would make sure our room was the first cleaned. The day we got into town for the wedding, we were about an hour and a half early for our early check in so we stopped by the hotel. They said it would be about an hour so we went to get a coffee and kill some time. We returned about 45 minutes later and were informed that they hadn’t started cleaning yet and it would be another 45 minutes but they’re trying. We were welcomed to use the staff restroom to get ready but being that we had traveled all morning, we really wanted to shower. We tried to check in a few more times and again were told we had to wait longer. I ended up having to be very firm with them because we weren’t going to have time to get presentable for a wedding. The staff became very snippy and rude but we were let into our room. The keys have letters on them and the doors have numbers so it’s difficult to find your room if it’s your first time there. Once we got to our room, I was shocked that it took them so long to clean. It was barely big enough for the bed which made so much noise. Our toilet was broken. Literally ¼ of the room was the bathtub. We were able to get ready enough to go and were on time to the ceremony.
The staff didn’t show us how to access the hotel after hours so we had to figure that out when we got back. As we were leaving, we did notice some amenities that were not made known to us at all.
Overall this place sucked. I would avoid it. Such a disappointment.

We are so looking forward to our 2^nd stay here when we visit in June! I went the old school way and actually called the hotel this morming to book my reservation. The person I talked to was so pleasant amd helpful. Because I have stayed before I knew what type of room I was/​was not looking for and where on the property I was trying to be. The gentleman on the phone was patient and helpful! Russian River is an annual tradition for us and the inviting cabins and friendly staff make staying here each time an easy decision.

We stayed on Tuesday and Wednesday this week and were pleased with the lodging. The front desk staff is very friendly and the breakfast is great. They always have fresh juice, coffee and fruit out which is a big plus for me. Gwen was very kind when we checked in and upgraded us to cabin 18 which had 2 rooms in it so our daughter could stay with us. At night you can sit outside by the fire pit and have smores and visit with other guests. My only advice is if you are a light sleeper like I am, ask for a room in the back because the rooms closest to the highway can be noisy from the cars and trucks all night and very early in the morning. Otherwise a great place. I will definitely stay again.

We wanted a beautiful cozy and quiet place to spend the night before continuing our drive up Highway 1.
My hubby found this place on Travelocity. VERY reasonable price for everything you get. We paid about $ 90 for one night. We were upgraded to room with a king-​size bed (we had reserved a queen size room). The cottage was VERY clean. The room had a microwave, small sink, fridge and Keurig coffee maker. My favorite little detail was a little «dream (or sleep) jar», which had ear plugs, eye masks and chamomile tea pods. Amazing! Loved it! The bathroom was spotless! I always judge a hotel by their bathroom. It had a hair dryer, cotton swabs, shampoo, conditioner, shower cap, soap, lotion…
The tv had plenty of channels and the wifi was great. Granted the bed was very squeaky and the pillows were small, but those are small details. Oh! And there are PLENTY of outlets, something most hotels lack!
We arrived around 9:15pm, and unfortunately they had already put the s’mores cart away. We were sooo disappointed. No where on the website does it say what time they end. But next time we’ll try to arrive earlier to enjoy that little treat.
There is a selection of movies in the lobby, but we were told that the rooms don’t have DVD players in them anymore, so I think they’re just there for decorative purposes.
All in all, loved it! Will be coming back.

Stay somewhere else. The side where they keep pet owners are the terrible! Cottages shake every time a truck drives on the Main Street. Bed in room 11 the worst in the world. Lumpy and old! For the price of this place they need to get a new bed! Come on man! Woke up each day with my back and neck in pain. First night did not sleep! Only plus the free breakfast and dog friendly place! Place is nice looking don’t let that fool you! The beds are awful!

I loved this place! Great location, nestled in the redwoods. Upgraded to a larger cabin for free upon arrival by the sweet front desk woman. That was lovely surprise! The cabin was cute, cozy, clean and had everything one could need. The swimming pool was great. Walking distance to a bar/​restaurant on the river. I believe they are pet friendly because there was a barking dog in the cabin next to us which ended up quieting down, thank goodness. Their breakfast was very nice and the smores in the evening are such a sweet touch.
The only negative which I won’t remove a star for is that our cabin ran out of hot water in about two minutes of showering each morning so we did take cold showers but it was over 80 degrees outside so I didn’t really care, though many people might. Something they might want to address. Everything else was exceptional!

LOVE this cute little bed and breakfast! My husband and I stayed 2 nights with our dog Kona over Valentines/​Presidents weekend. We received a little welcome doggie box upon arrival with treats and a bowl for Kona and sat by the fire roasting marshmallows both nights. The cottage was spacious and clean and staff very friendly. We enjoyed the breakfast in the morning as well! Will definitely stay again!

Wonderful cottages to stay in at a very reasonable price. We stayed 2 nights and my wife just loved this place. We will stay again.

We booked this cottage last minute and it was a great decision. It was farther off the 101 than I expected, but well worth the drive. They have truly thought of everything. The room was super cute and clean had everything we needed. The staff was extremely friendly and even gave us a tour of the place. She had the heat turned on, helped us with parking, and suggested places for us to eat in town without being asked. The price was very reasonable, the attention to detail was amazing, and the personalized care was exceptional. I loved this place.

The grounds are really gorgeous, serene, and interesting. I spent my first morning taking beautiful photos of them. The included continental breakfast is excellent — with an upscale twist to it. The pastries are exceptional, actually. My private cottage was cute and cozy. The location is very good, in that it is close to «downtown» Guerneville, but it isn’t within easy walking distance of the several restaurants and bars there. You would NOT want to walk down River Road after dark — dangerous traffic conditions.
I checked in late at night. On the next morning of my six-​day stay, I knew I would give this place five stars. By the end of my stay … two stars. Why?
Because after cleaning my room once, on the first day, no one ever cleaned it again. I left the «Service Please» tag on the door every day, and each evening when I returned, it was still there but with no service having been given. I always returned to the lobby to let them know, and they always apologized, made a note of it, and gave me some coffee pods for use the next morning … but they never did solve the ongoing problem. So … I had ants in my increasingly smelly garbage (the room had a little kitchen area where I heated leftovers and tossed boxes into the trash). I had an unmade bed every day. I had towels on the floor. I had to return to the lobby every night after finding my room still a mess, when I was frankly too tired to deal with it. Also, I should mention that on the first day, I left $ 5.00 on the bed with a note asking for 3 extra hangars. When I returned to a tidied room, the money was gone, but no hangars were provided. I never did get them, so I slept with some of my clothes stacked on the bed.
Mind you, I pleasantly told several different lobby attendants (they changed with the time of day) about all of this, and every one of them pleasantly apologized, but none of them actually fixed the situation. Nor was I offered a small — say $ 50 — refund, which I believe would have been in order since part of what I was paying for was to have my room tidied each day.
Oddly, I will stay here again, because of the beautiful grounds. But now I have learned my lesson: Each morning when I’m leaving for the day, I will stop in the lobby and demand that my room be cleaned! If you stay here, I suggest you do the same.

We loved our little cottage and will definitely be back. They were dog-​friendly as well which is a big plus. The cottage had hardwood type flooring which we love instead of carpet, so the place can remain nice and clean. It was bigger than most hotel rooms. It’s kind of like having your own little studio apartment. Free wi-​fi! Cute décor inside, and gorgeous scenery all around. Very relaxing. The bathroom was large as well. Loved how our cottage had a kitchenette in it too with a wetbar. The heater worked well to keep us cozy during the rainy night. It was a really nice stay! The front desk woman had promised to bring us over a goodie box/​supplies for our dog, but she never did bring it. Alas, this place is still top-​notch.

Personally I love this place. I love that you feel like you are in nature but are in a great hotel. It would be great for parties. You rent out small cottages in a nice enclosed area. Their is a fire pit with nightly smores and also a pool. The rooms were simple but really comfortable. The staff was great and the prices were amazing. Honestly if you have a group going wine tasting or staying in the area rent out a few of these cabins and have a nice party without disturbing people. I can’t get over how great this place is.

Every detail of this lovely bed and breakfast is delightful! We made a trip up and down the California and Oregon coast, always spending less than $ 100 a night at independent hotels and motels. This was far and away the best. We had the least expensive queen studio, and yet it felt like we were staying in the finest spa resort. The nightly bonfire and marshmallow roast was well attended by friendly travelers. The morning breakfast featured fresh honeydew water, eggs, and freshly made apple fritters! The room and bed was so comfortable! We even had our own porch with table and chairs! All the details were obviously considered. There was French roast coffee for the Keurig coffee maker. Wicker covered the Kleenex boxes. Wine opener and flashlight were right on the counter. We loved this place and can’t wait to stay again.

Five stars all the way.
1. Gorgeous location on the edge of town backing up to the forest makes this place quiet and scerene.
2. Accommodations were like being at home. Comfortable, cozy, warm. We even got bumped to a 2 bedroom cottage for free!
3. Awesome breakfast included. Daily we ate toasted bagels with cream cheese and fresh jam, apple fritters, fresh fruit, coffee and teas with freshly squeezed juice and hard boiled eggs. It was lovely.
4. Awesome staff and highly recommended massage therapist on site! She gave an incredible therapeutic massage that was just what I’ve been needing.
5. Nightly camp fire with smores. Heavenly.
6. Frank and cat
We’ll be back for sure!

Awesome spot in Guerneville. Definitely make sure you ask for a cottage that backs up to the trees. Cottages on the road side can be quite loud as there is a good amount of traffic.
We stayed in cottage 6 and loved it. 2 bedrooms, nice spacious bathroom and kitchenette (fridge, microwave, sink and keurig coffee maker — but no utensils or plates so bring your own if you plan to eat) The layout is spacious and the décor is clean and cozy. Cottage 6 also has its own front porch with small table and chairs. Each room had a «Dream box» next to the bed (eye mask, ear plugs and sleepy time tea pods) Sure was a cute and thoughtful touch.
Complimentary breakfast is included in the price. Nice selection of pastries, bagels, yogurt, fruit, juice and coffee. I heard they have nightly s’mores around the fire but didn’t get to check that out. Next time.
Customer service was lovely and accommodating. Arrived close to midnight and check-​in was a breeze.
Not to mention they are dog friendly! Provided a little welcome box for our furry family member with a water bowl, towel and some treats. There is a small, gated area on the premises as well for your pup to run around. If you need supplies for your pup, a pet store just opened down the road. It’s called Barkers Pet Supplies, just an FYI.
Great experience overall, can’t wait to come back!

This place is an absolute winner. I feel blessed that I found it. The woman who greeted us couldn’t have been more friendly and welcoming. There’s even a friendly cat named «Frank» who lives on the property. :)
We stayed in Cottage #18, which is right next to the reception area. This particular cottage is huge. The master bedroom has a lovely King bed, and the bath is very spacious. There is also a small second bedroom with two twin beds and a spacious living room/​kitchenette area. Way overkill for two people for one night!
The grounds are lovely and serene, with a firepit in the middle and beautiful landscaping. The property really is adjacent to River Road, so there is automobile traffic nearby during the daytime. During our April stay, we found that the traffic dissipated after dark.

Ideal spot for a relaxing getaway with your dog and/​or friends! You will not be disappointed.
The cottages are well appointed — the studios are a tad small, but they use space efficiently. The suites are huge! Clean, pretty linens, friendly service, and coffee and (really nice) tea all day in the lobby. Breakfast was delicious, and you can either have it in the breakfast room or in any of the many outdoor tables, benches… even at the pool! They really let you do what you want here, and trust you to be an adult. (Also, please be an adult — these people are really nice and clearly take pride in their place)
We attended a wedding near Guerneville, and were looking for a dog-​friendly spot. This place was perfect. Cottages that open around a central grassy courtyard makes it easy to take your dog outside for nature’s call, in an easy, relaxed place. Our friends booked a suite at the cottages, as well. We had a great time hanging out, and taking advantage of the nightly marshmallow /​s’mores roast (and they have Reese’s peanut butter cup — kickin’ it up a notch!). The weekend we went, the owner was actually there entertaining friends, and invited us to share in their wine and revelry around the fire pit. We loved this place.
Some practical things: There is parking, there are complimentary goodies for your dog, and there is food and alcohol directly across the street at the dog-​friendly Stumptown Brewery. We had pretty legit bloody marys and pub grub.
