About this property

Robin's Hood on the River w/ Spectacular Views, near vineyards & coastal beaches

Robin's Hood is a cozy, modern home located on the riverfront with lofted ceilings and an open floor plan. From the living room, one can look out the picture windows and view the canopy of trees across the river bank. Blue herons, robin's, woodpeckers and an array of birds come to visit the private beach or the bird feeder on the deck. Kayaks are available for use and dock is available to launch kayaks from mid May to mid October.

The house has two large bedrooms with Queen beds, pillow top mattresses, in each room. Both bedrooms have a private deck. There is a smaller front room with picture windows and a view of the river that includes a trundle bed for two to sleep comfortably. The living room overlooks the deck and has a view of the surrounding trees. There are skylights throughout the house. The view from the deck is of the river and trees. There are no homes across the river and this is a very private spot.

For the gourmet chef, the kitchen is supplied with all the tools that you will need and an array of spices in the cabinets. The dining area seats 6 comfortably indoors and 8 plus outdoors.

There are board games, books, DVCs and other games provided to occupy your time. Beach chairs, floats, etc are all available for your use in the garage or the storage bin on the deck.

The house is 2 miles from Guerneville and 20 minutes from Jennar. There are a number of vineyards nearby and great walks on the beaches of the Sonoma coast or at Amstrong Woods.

Thanksgiving 2024

Enjoyed the peace and quiet of Robinshood rental. Was able to sew and finish a few Christmas gifts! My husband and family were over on Saturday to celebrate our Thanksgiving. Preparing the dinner was a breeze as Robinshood had ALL the amenities of home. Rehka was wonderful in responding quickly to my questions. Look forward to our next visit.

A lil peace of paradise!

This property is awesome with all the amenities of home. Grandchildren loved it-couldn’t get them out of the water(in kayaks) or the dock(fishing)! Neighbors are friendly and felt safe. Can’t wait for our next adventure.

House on the River

This house was perfect. The patio overlooked the river and provided amazing views. The kitchen was stocked well which made traveling from out of state easier (no need to buy spices/seasoning to cook). The bedrooms were spacious and the beds, comfortable. This was a great getaway!

Family vacation

The property was perfect for a family wanting to spend time together. It is near beautiful beaches. We went to Goat Rock beach 4 evenings to watch the sun set. It was empty and way more beautiful than puctures present. Napa Valley was a huge hit. Armstrong park nearby is great for Redwoods.

Beautiful view

We loved this house. Great communication, easy access. Quiet area. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped. The kayaks are great quality. We spent a lot of time on the beautiful spacious deck with the French doors open, enjoying the view. I would caution that the path down to the dock and the river is steep. We would definitely come again.

Re-Treat Yourself to this traditional cabin on the Russian river

We went with some friends for a retreat style weekend and the house was a great spot. The place has a traditional cabin feel and had plenty of amenities that you would expect from a vacation rental. They had plenty of equipment canoes kayaks to use.

Quiet spot w every convenience

Our family had a wonderful stay at Robin’s Hood, our second stay. The setting is gorgeous, right on the river with a big deck, kayaks and canoe. The house is roomy and very pleasant, everything you need, even beach towels. The kitchen is well stocked w spices and solid quality cooking pans, not the flimsy stuff one sometimes finds at rentals. We enjoyed our walks around the golf course to morning coffee and pastries.

The house is really cozy and has all of the amenities (chairs, kayaks, life vests, board games, etc)

We saw deer, a weasel, an owl and a ton of beautiful birds like the blue heron and stellar jay. In the river we caught several fish and saw a large SEAL that must have lost his way from the ocean! The house is very cozy. Loved all of the amenities and also how well stocked the kitchen was. It was so nice to relax by the river every day, explore in the kayaks, swim and to be able to take day trips to Jenner beach. Great restaurants nearby and close to Safeway. Really enjoyed our stay!

Nice house, great location on the river, very quiet.

We had an excellent stay at the Robin’s Hood. It’s very private, and we loved the path that leads to the river. The house comes with kayaks that we took on the river for small trips. We saw deer every day, and lots of birds on the river. It’s very nice and quiet. The house itself is supplied with everything you need. The kitchen has all the pots and pans you need to cook. We loved the big tub in the master bathroom. The beds have very nice sheets, and we slept very comfortably there. Overall, an excellent choice.

FORE FOR 40!

This year I wanted a golf and river birthday. This was perfect. The house is less then 5 minutes walk from the 1st tee. So after my best Northwood round, we had a barbecue on the deck. We loved watching the woodpeckers and herons flying over the river. We spent Sunday being river bums, kayaked and floated. We celebrated the gifts of this location. I couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you

Beautiful home in a beautiful place!

Robin's Hood is a winner in every respect! The location is incredible, down a little lane, across the street from a meandering golf course surrounded by huge red wood trees. You are close enough to Gruenville and Monte Rio to have easy access to restaurants and shops but you are away from the hustle and bustle. The home itself is lovely! The setting is such that you can see the river from the house - I enjoyed breakfast each day on the deck overlooking the river and trees. I saw river otter playing the first morning! The house is decorated nicely, well stocked with kitchen items, as well as towels, bedding, etc. The beds are very comfortable. The owner is easy to work with, responding quickly to any question. I have nothing but good things to say about the property and the area!

Feels like Heaven!

We have just returned from 9 days at Robin's Hood and had a marvelous time. We chose it for it's location on the river, and will return again because it was so comfortable and pleasant. We've tried other houses in the area and this is the best. The kitchen is fully stocked with every cooking tool you could need and we loved having all the spices and condiments - it will make packing for next year so much easier. But our favorite amenities were the canoe and kayaks, we used them every day. Great to find a supply of folding chairs to take down to the river beach. The rooms are very comfortable and large, lots of pillows and blankets to choose from, very good quality sheets and towels. Everything was clean and windows and sliding doors were easy to open. Loved the gas fired fireplace in the living room, very nice to take the chill off in the evening and early morning. We were on the spacious deck for most meals, and in between - it was a great place to watch the stars at night. We spotted otters several times and got out the huge telescope to watch an osprey across the river. We went for walks most morning around the golf course, mostly ending up at the Bia Cafe for coffee and wonderful homemade sweet breads and a breakfast sandwich. Close to Guerneville and easy drive to Monte Rio and Duncan Mills (The Gold Coast bakery is terrific!!). We hated to leave the deck so had most meals at home, loved the gas grill. We did order takeout from the Juicy Pig, and ventured out to Taqueria La Tapatia on River Rd for some excellent Mexican food. Stop looking, this is the best place to stay on the river. Thank you so much for opening this home to visitors!

Robinshood was a perfect getaway!

Upon entering Robinshood it exuded comfort and tranquility. I found the home impeccably cleaned with all the comforts of home! My grandchildren love it as well and asked that we make renting the home “a tradition!” I also wast to say that the owner was always available when questions arose which I’m truly greatful for.

Great experience

We had a great time at this property, which is nested in the redwoods with a beautiful view onto the river. The house was very clean and the kitchen was by far the best stocked we have ever had - all types of cooking and serving utensils and dish ware, spices and other condiments. There is a large deck with a large table to eat outside, several kayaks and a canoe for the river, and a gas fireplace in the living room to keep warm on cool evenings and mornings. The owner was very responsive and extremely flexible. Highly recommended!

Great Golf Location

If you are looking for a house near the Northwood Golf Course or a river view this is the one. It was very comfortable for 5 people. (6 if you don't mind a trundle bed) location was across from 2nd hole of Northwood and very easy to get to. Comfortable beds and sitting area and well stocked kitchen! Would stay again for sure!!

About the host

Hosted by Rekha Patel

Host profile image
I decided to purchase the house in 2007 as a place to getaway from my busy urban life. I love Robin's Hood and the surrounding area as do my friends who come to visit. The most frequent comments from friends are about how much they love the house, views and the activities while we are up there. The golf course is adjacent to the house, an extra amenity for those who golf.

My most amazing experience at Robin's Hood was seeing a family of six river otters swimming at the beach, stop and play on the riverbank.

I hope that if you rent the house that you have a wonderful time.

Why they chose this property

Northwood, the area of Monte Rio the home is located in, is a really special area, there are no communities like it along the river. The house is in a rustic area but updated and modern with charming details.

What makes this property unique

Very quiet and peaceful. Great for kids also as they can hang out at the beach all day, play games on the deck. There are beaches nearby with tide pools or take a kayak ride from the private beach down the river. There is a picture on this site of the deer sighting that we had on one of our kayak rides and of the star fish we spotted at the beach.
