River View Garden Resort

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!

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!

The property manager was very kind. Although my daughter and I enjoyed our stay, the place could use a little remodeling. It’s pretty outdated and could use some TLC.

We stayed for one night and the services was great! Yes the building is not modern, but it is beautiful. Monte Rio is a beautiful,lush,friendly town. The only down fall is hard to walk with no sidewalks and cars driving fast.

Very nice staff! Property is a bit dated and needs some TLC, but it’s a very good location right on the river and the staff were lovely.

Jay greeted us like we were old friends that had just arrived!!

Absolutely beautiful property, beautiful scenery of the river.

My favorite place on the river

Jay is terrific and the gardens are beautiful. The place is a little older but very pleasant. Could use a deep clean, though, in places like the window sills. Could use a new mattress, too.
