We really liked how the property was dog friendly and easy access to the river. In addition, easy access to the beach for renting kayaks, canoe's or innertubes to lounge by the river and very good restaurants nearby.

Our stay was amazing. We went to celebrate our baby moon/anniversary and the owner upgraded us to a room with a River front view. The hospitality was so great, the view was amazing, the inn was so peaceful with so many gorgeous spots to sit and view the river. If you’re looking for a cozy peaceful spot to stay with plenty of woodsy views nearby, Inn on the Russian River is a great choice!

Short stay in January

We travelled in January as we were over seeing family so we were the only people there. Owner was really nice as the weather was particularly bad and travel was difficult. I can imagine how lovely the place would be in season and i would definitely come back.

Reeeeelaxing Getaway!

We had a wonderful time lazing about at The Inn. It is casual comfort, with excellent hospitality. The new owners have been busy trying to upgrade the property, and they have many wonderful plans in the works. Our room was a tad uncomfortable, but this will be easily addressed in the future. We plan to return!

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.

The property and staff were fantastic but unfortunately due to the noise of our neighbors who were drunk we decided to leave at midnight. I would recommend the hotel and staff but if there maybe a way to reduce the room noise I think it would benefit all parties, customers and hotel.

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
