We slept generally well but as fellow hotel owners and travel-journal writers we wanted to pass along some feedback.

Our bill was $400 for one night in room #5. I am sorry but this feels egregiously over-valued. The patio and garden are essentially abandoned, I assume partly because of the time of year. The rooms have potential but the decor was not very interesting, lighting was not good, no bathtub, Target-style pillows and art, construction and dead flowers in common spaces. At night we could hear the conversations our neighbors were having.

None of these issues are \"the end of the world\" but for the cost I would expect much more. To be frank I would have been comfortable paying $200-$250 for our room/experience BUT for what we paid it made us feel as though we wasted valuable holiday time and resources. I am sorry to send this message. As a side note the person who greeted us was very nice.

It is a charming hotel with an amazing view .. it is just that rooms are different and when you are reserving it , you are reserving that room (we didn’t know this but then when I looked at my reservation I saw I actually booked a specific room)
For our room, we had a kitchen with sink and oven-toaster and mid size fridge but that made our bathroom very very small .. this was room 2

Clean and Cozy

I have been coming to this part of the Russian River for well over a decade. I had stayed here at this very property many years ago while under its previous ownership. It will now be on my list of go to spots to stay. The upgrades that the current owner has done are tasteful and modern while still holding on to the areas rustic charm. The pet friendly room I stayed in was immaculately clean. The proximity to the river can’t be beat and comes in handy when traveling with a dog. Cassidy, the manager was attentive and friendly from the time I booked the reservation. I am so happy I tried this place out again. Can’t wait to plan my next visit.

It's a set of cabins and when you open the door, you are \"in the woods\". Good place to stay if you love hiking, biking, or outdoor activities. Located on the bank of the Russian River, I think that in summer, there will be some boating available. We unfortunately had to leave because of the New year California rainstorm but, for sure we will be back this summer.
