It was nice having the balcony looking out at the river. Nice having the bar and restaurant. The hours were very limited but still nice. Very friendly staff. The "breakfast" was ok, we thought there would be better selection. Was easy to walk around Monte Rio area, which we really like. The Lodge has lots of character and we enjoyed our stay.

The property is charming but dated. Room was clean but not in good shape. There is a big stain above our bed with prior leek or collapse sealing. When we walked in we smell chemicals that probably were use to clean the room. The front desk gave us a fan to air it out, but never offered to change the room. Smell subsided but never went away. For B&B breakfast was mediocre, small continental breakfast like in motel. Location is great, right on the bank of Russian river, but to get to it is a challenge.

Pretty quiet & clean
Bed was comfy & clean. No air conditioning no closet but that wasn’t a big deal. There was a nice variety of breakfast items in the morning along with coffee and tea. Very reasonably price I was quite satisfied and would definitely come back again

This place was the cutest little bed and breakfast around the scenic Drive to get there through the redwoods was my favorite. Once we got there, we didn’t have to leave the restaurant that is there is amazing and the breakfast in the morning was perfect! Would highly recommend this property to any traveler.

We had a wonderful couple of days staying on the Russian River. The location of the B&B is perfect and absolutely stunning. We enjoyed swimming directly off the small dock and watching the sunset. However, a few things in the B&B let our stay down. I had read lots of reviews that said it was clean. In our room there was so much dust on the bed frames, skirting boards and picture frames, it looked like it hadn’t been dusted in a long time. Behind and under the furniture was even worse. The shower curtain in the bathroom was mouldy and we had issues with the shower. We did speak to a member of staff who said that several guests had complained about it and that someone would look at it when we were out for the day. On our return, I spoke to the owner and she said she knew nothing about it and would send someone up to look at it. He did arrive promptly but seemed dismissive of the problem and that ‘was the way showers are in California’ (it felt like we were being jet washed when using it). Our shower in the hotel in San Francisco was fine. He did look at it and helped us to get a better pressure, but did concede that there was a problem with it. I have read the reviews about lack of kettle, fridge, foldable seats in the room and reluctance to provide ice and glasses, which they did give us (two wine glasses but I couldn’t negotiate glass water glasses so ended up with plastic cups!). Finally, we had expected a warm and friendly welcome which wasn’t very forthcoming.

Great views and comfortable room.
We were pleasantly surprised how nice and spacious our room was. We had a great view of the river and the furnishings were comfortable. Our host Ingrid was delightful and very welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed the German cuisine offered in the restaurant on site. We definitely will return.

No idea how this hotel is rated so highly
We reserved this hotel based on reviews. I have no idea who or where those reviews came from. The staff was not friendly, the room was very small - queen sized bed with a small nightstand on each side. Bathroom contained a toilet and a shower with black stuff around the tile, and the sink was in the room, not in the bathroom. The walls were thin - we could hear the conversations happening outside our walls and the people walking on the floor above. The AC is managed in the hallway, so when the shower ran, the room heated up and we had no way to cool it off, so we had to open our door. I do not recommend staying here.

This was a cute little property right on the river. We enjoyed our stay and the staff was wonderful. The building is very old but clean. The only complaint was that it was loud, for instance when someone was showering in another room near us the pipes/water was super loud and the cars going by were loud (we were on the street side). The bar and restaurant were great!
