My wife and I stayed here 26-29 October 2012. Ron, the owner, greeted us pleasantly and sorted out the paperwork with the minimum of fuss. The rooms are quaint (as is much of Monte Rio), but very comfortable and exceptionally clean. We had a mini-kitchen which was nice, and a view over the gardens. The gardens and river frontage, particularly... More

This motel is located right on the bank of the Russian River, with nice grounds and beautiful view. They have rooms of different sizes, but all rooms are well outdated. Breakfast is very light, so you need to bring something with you if you want to survive till lunch. The owners are helpful (if you ask), but it seems they... More

My family (mother, sister, two sons, dtr in law and myself) stayed at this lovely little gem for two nights. We rented two units: a one room with a futon in the living area, and a two bedroom villa.

Rooms were dated but clean. Owners offered beach towels when he saw we were going to river; nice extra. The grounds are beautiful. Very... More

Booked earlier this month for two nights. The property is located steps from a busy River Road (seems like the average River cars don't have mufflers) and is at the Occidental/Jenner Junction. The room we stayed in did not have a flat screen tv nor was it filthy like the other reviewer stated. The rooms do need updating though. Possible... More
