Russian River Delight

Very friendly proprietor and staff. Lovely garden area with picnic tables, grills, fire pits and more overlooking the river. Such a beautiful view. Cozy rooms with good amenities, and only a short drive away to restaurants, shops and attractions. Would certainly stay again.

Clean and Cozy

I have been coming to this part of the Russian River for well over a decade. I had stayed here at this very property many years ago while under its previous ownership. It will now be on my list of go to spots to stay. The upgrades that the current owner has done are tasteful and modern while still holding on to the areas rustic charm. The pet friendly room I stayed in was immaculately clean. The proximity to the river can’t be beat and comes in handy when traveling with a dog. Cassidy, the manager was attentive and friendly from the time I booked the reservation. I am so happy I tried this place out again. Can’t wait to plan my next visit.

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!

Liked the location: close to the ocean, Bodega Bay, Armstrong Redwoods, Russian River and Guerneville. But, the parking lot was very small and what we missed was a table and chair in the room to eat a meal and do computer.

What a cute establishment. Right on the river, easy access from The road. Our room faced the river and there was beach access with lots of seating areas. The property is is peaceful and serene. The gardens and common areas are undergoing a refresh but you wouldn’t be able to tell. Will definitely come here again.
