open play area, close to river.

the deck was too crowded. lots of kids all day. a little rickety in places.

Huge garden surrounded by trees where you can read, relax, play. Private river access and floatable equipment. Beautiful building No fuss management, laid back and warm community feeling. Walking distance to downtown.

Nothing. No AC and that some rooms only have bathtubs (no showers) may be non-ideal for some but we were fine. You can use the common shower if needed.

The place is within walking distance to town. 6 minutes to be exact. Big spacious outdoor area, perfect for stargazing at night. River access with a dock in the back. A great place for water toys, boards & canoes. The owner is super chill. Very family friendly. Plenty of games available for the whole family outside. Quaint and inviting. A weekend getaway in one place. Romantic and reminiscent of a simpler time.

Room facing the front gets a lot of traffic noise in the morning, but the pros still greatly outweigh any con.

The guests at the lodge were fun, everyone was friendly and super nice. The lodge has a goldrush charm. It also has great access to the Russian river in a quiet spot.

I'm sorry to say, but this was by far my worst experience at a hotel, the second after a cheap motel 6 in LA 20 years ago when I was young and penniless. The lodge has its charm, being preserved since the 40s, but it ends there. Rooms are tiny, and unclean (crumbles of pretzels on the floor, the dust of several months under the bed, spider webs all around). The beds are small for two (not even queen-size), and there are no side bed cabinets since the bed was against the wall on one side and next to a door on the other (I have a CPAP machine that I couldn't use). No AC, no TV, no hot water at 6 am in the morning.

good location by the Russian River

The facility does not match the price. Room is not clean. big noises till early morning

Good location

Not the cleanest place, staff was not present at check in and check out

Hot tub.

Lack of staff.

Al, the property manager

No lights on the outside of The hotel so I made it very difficult to find it in the dark

Such an incredible location! Al, the owner, has everything you need to have the best time on the Russian River: a dock right on the river, canoes and kayaks, badminton, volleyball, ping pong table, and more!

Quite a few spiders in our room but to be expected in the forest.
