Private Home rental in Monte Rio, California - REDWOOD LODGE - Property 22965

Redwood Lodge, sleeping ten, is a comfortable, traditional three level home with nostalgic ambiance and outstanding views of the river.

Only river and forest are visible looking out across the river, along with the occasional heron, osprey, family of ducks, and otters. This serene setting is in the quiet Northwood golf course neighborhood, a short distance from the club house and first tee. The house is surrounded by redwood trees, creating privacy and the magic only redwood trees bestow.

The main living level contains the living room with fireplace, sleeper sofa, and dining area (table for eight) adjacent to the updated kitchen, along with a full bath and master bedroom with queen bed, all rooms opening to the expansive river-view decks with a good assortment of outdoor furniture. The upper level has a bedroom with queen bed and double day bed, with an adjacent full bath. The ground level area has a garage, full bath, and a bedroom with queen bed.

Redwood Lodge is a great family home for casual getaways. In the summer, the stairs and sunny dock provide good, if a bit steep, river access for swimming and boating---a canoe and kayak are provided. In the winter, the fireplace provides a wonderful focal point for living room gatherings. And having bedrooms on three different levels, each with its own bathroom, allows for a lot of privacy and separate activities.

Three bedroom, three bath traditional river-front home with stunning river views and good seasonal river access. In the prestigious Northwood golf course area, this home offers spacious decks with two large dining sets overlooking the river, good privacy from neighbors, and an excellent neighborhood for leisurely walks.

Upstairs is a loft bedroom (good privacy from living area) with queen bed and double daybed.

Forestville is most convenient to wineries, Sebastopol, and Santa Rosa, followed by Guerneville and Monte Rio.
There is little difference in temperature between Guerneville and central Monte Rio. Forestville will be slightly warmer, while Duncans Mills and Cazadero will be slightly cooler. There is no air-conditioning here (with a few exceptions): the ocean breezes provide natural cooling at night and homes in warmer areas have fans. The Northwood golf course area is 2 - 3 miles west of Guerneville and, although this is technically Monte Rio, these homes are as close to Guerneville as they are to central Monte Rio.

Duncans Mills is close to the ocean, with some marine influence, yet still enjoys warm, sunny days in the summer.

Cazadero is redwood forest, with an all-year creek running through it; in general the most secluded homes will be found here.

Homes along the river are generally not as private as the homes along the creeks or in the forest, although there are exceptions. The river homes are rarely fenced and most will have some small degree of road noise since River Road, running along the river, is the main artery for the area. We do have some river homes free of all road noise. If this is a major issue for you, please ask us.

There is a 24-hour Safeway and a health food store in Guerneville and smaller markets in Forestville and Monte Rio, as well as a general store in Cazadero. On Hwy 166 north of Sebastopol, Andy's Market is worth a stop. There are video rentals in all towns except Duncans Mills. Guerneville has bicycle rentals. The best shopping is in Guerneville and Duncans Mills.

Boat rentals are in Guerneville, Monte Rio, and Duncans Mills. Boating depends upon river and weather conditions and many homes with boats have seasonal docks. We cannot guarantee boating will be possible or safe anytime other than mid-June through mid-September.
