I loved the private access to the lake, very convenient and beautiful way to start the morning. The manager, Jay, was very kind and flexible despite the curve balls we threw at him. The place was cozy but does need some work. I liked the convenience of having a kitchen.

I love it

This has now become my new yearly Memorial Day holiday spot. I was greeted immediately by the gentleman who is in charge here and each day he met my husband dog and I with an amazing attitude and smile. It was so peaceful that I didn’t want to leave.

The location of the property is excellent. It is beside the river, beautiful surrounding and one can walk and dip in the river. But the condition of the property is not good. This is the only drawback of the property

Staff is great and area is great, 15 - 20 minutes to sonoma coast state park! But the place is completely outdated, not close to good dining, unless you drive. The outside area is dirty, full of dead bugs and the room had dead bugs on the windowsils and stained carpet, also had no fans or air conditioning, it's very very hot at night. Not sure it would be my first choice to stay again there.

This is a gorgeous area of the Russian River! The resort has the only beach area we saw on this stretch of the river. The well manicured grounds are a beautiful place to picnic or hang out at the beach. We had a great time in the paddle boat as well as with the kayak. Our room was cozy, although most of our time there was spent outdoors. The area is too beautiful to spend much time inside. The small kitchen met our needs and we used the bbq was awesome to have! The caretaker was so nice that we hated to leave. Definitely a place worth coming back to. The bathroom is very tiny, but worth it when you consider everything else. We had an excellent trip!

Liked: Staff & service
Like: I had to call the number posted on the front door when I arrived. The call was answered quickly and the host came immediately to check me in. She also added a heater to my room to help heat it up (without me asking). She was very friendly and confirmed where I could grab some food. She came up and knocked shortly before 9pm to make sure I was warm enough and ask if I needed more blankets. I could smell the detergent on the sheets (not sure about the blankets though) Didn't like: The room could use a little updating. The blinds were rickety and did not close properly. Luckily I carry sanitizer wipes because there were a few spots on the toilet seat and under the toilet seat.

Right off the hwy, this old delapidated three story rickety place is still beautiful. there are wide lawns overlooking the lake, and trees all around. Manager Jay is delightful, helpful and responsive. But, he can't change the fact that the stove top was rusty and broken, there weren't even two matching glasses, the dishes were chipped and it was all ill-equiped, the couch (which was supposed to be a futon or rollout) was filthy and did not roll out or open up. The window paint was peeling. The cracks in the walls made it look like our cabin would buckle at any moment. Dead mosquitos and flies everywhere. I feel badly giving a bad review because its a pretty area,but rickety , old and not so clean or quiet you can hear the road traffic)--is really what you get. It could be wonderful if they really deep cleaned it and updated it. I'm pretty sure its a health hazard and doesn't meet building and safety standards. Though a bit less expensive than some hotels in the area, it is WAY overpriced for what you get. Again, the manager was very kind and sweet, but that was the main asset of the place!

Property around is nice. Room was clean, bed was good. Otherwise room was utterly without any charm. Like a Motel 6, but with even less decor. Since I only used it for sleeping it was useful. But if I was there for a stay it was a miserable place to be stuck in.
