Very nice cottage! Front and back yards are beautiful as is the view of the Russian River. 2 nice size bedrooms, well equipped kitchen, super rear deck surrounded by giant redwoods. And, this area is very close to some awesome scenery - from an easy, leisurely drive along the Pacific coast to the Redwood forest and many Sonoma wineries. We had a wonderful time! Bill and Christy

Great place
Totally worth it to stay here. Place is very cute. While the bathroom is small and the houses are close together, the big bedrooms and well appointed kitchen are great. Sitting on the back deck and using the kayaks right from the dock were our favorite parts.

Lovely Gem
We very much enjoyed our weekend stay at this riverside hideaway. For the price, the unit is very large (bathroom is a bit small, but not unmanageable at all) and most importantly, very well appointed (unlike many other places we have stayed.) The only wobble is that trying to figure out if we'd successfully turned the gas fired stove off was a little bit challenging - hopefully we managed it. Other than that, 2 thumbs up. Highly recommended, and hope to be able to stay there again the next time we head to the Russian River!

Perfection on the River
This is the perfect home for a get away in the redwoods. The location and views are breathtaking and Kim the owner was a delight. The landscaping is beautifully done with multiple terraces down to the river. All you need is a cup of coffee or glass of wine while you sit and take in the beauty of it all. We most certainly will be back. Thank you Kim for providing all of us an opportunity to enjoy!

Great birthday getaway
This was a cute home and a great place to relax. I came with my mom to celebrate my birthday. It was great to have that quality time together. I thought the description of the place said we'd be staying on the ground floor. So, I was surprised when we had to climb a flight of stairs to get to our place. My mom is 89 years old, and was able to make it, but it was tiring for her. Overall, it was a nice and relaxing getaway weekend for both of us.

Relaxing Getaway
This was my second visit to the home and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Accommodations were clean, covered patio overlooking the river was peaceful and relaxing, and the home was centrally located in Russian River on a very quiet street. I’m looking forward to a return visit in the future.

Just wonderful!
Will be back during season to use dock and kayaks. House, deck and yards were beautiful and clean. We all slept well in this cozy house and gathering in the kitchen felt homey. Kim was an absolute ideal host; easily reached and responsive to every little question. She even offered to show us the beach nearby where we launched our kayaks! The neighborhood is so sweet; a nice location close to shopping and sights. Bonus was walking distance to beach, a little fro y store and a restaurant with live music. I usually stay in Guerneville, but this booking locks in Monte Rio for many future getaways from the City. Loved being there!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the River Hideway. Location is easily accessible to the river, many wineries and the coast. The house was very clean and well stocked. We loved sitting on the back deck in the mornings and evenings. Would definitely recommend staying here.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Menary

Host profile image
I grew up in San Francisco but spent many weekends and all summer in this home in Monte Rio. My dream was to move to the Russian River and purchase this home back as my parents had sold it years before. It has been lovingly renovated keeping the old river charm.

Why they chose this property

This home was my families summer home in the 60's and 70's. I purchased it in 1998 and have enjoyed restoring the home. I have many fond memories of summers spent at this home in Monte Rio.

What makes this property unique

I enjoy watching the wildlife along the river, kayaking or just relaxing on the deck.
