What guests think

At Guerneville Lodge, guests consistently praise the expansive grounds, social common areas, and the welcoming host, while feedback also notes limited modern amenities and that some street-facing rooms and shared spaces can be noisy.

Many highlight the scenic riverside setting and easy walk to downtown Guerneville. Rooms are cozy and often rustic, though several guests found certain rooms on the small side. Housekeeping and maintenance feedback is mixed, with a few reports of spotty cleaning, plumbing or hot water issues, and general wear. Expect a laid-back lodge stay rather than a modern hotel.

It’s a fun old fashioned lodge with a comunal kitchen and a cool main room with a fire place and books. It’s a little rustic and rooms are oldish, but if you get a room facing the river and with a balcony, you will be happy. Rooms facing the street could be a little noisy , if one is sensitive.

Wonderful stay! Nice surprise like stepping back in time with good ole fashioned wholesome atmosphere! No TV! Great place to relax and have nice conversations in the library, outside many sitting areas, walk to river or just around grounds!

Really great stay. We came in Thursday and only one of the other 12 rooms was booked in March. The place is an old hunting lodge and it’s nestled among redwoods by the Russian River. Guests have the run of Downstairs including a stocked refrigerator and pots and pans to cook. Al, the owner is very cool and unique. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to be back. Go midweek if possible as it can be loud if you have a bunch of other guests.

The hot tub was nice. It was nice and dark on the patio allowing a nice view of the stars while having a good soak. The common area was a big lodge room with a fire going which was a nice touch on a cold night. The room was okay. The beds were comfy but small and next to the road so we heard every vehicle that passed. It would be a great place to buy out for a big party.

This property is very rustic and difficult to find after dark. It's a beautifully situated spot on the Russian River during the season. It's very casual with a large lawn, fire pits, BBQ, basketball. Great for family gatherings when it's warm. My only contact with the owner was on the phone. Al helped me find the property. If you don't go after dark and don't care about things like properly installed smoke detectors, then you'll probably have a good stay. Also, it was pricey even for an off season resort. I'm from Monterey, CA But Guerneville is much smaller. Check pricing carefully. Some rooms are more expensive than the advertised price.

if you are looking for upscale experience this isn't place for you. If you are looking to stay in a unique lodge with its own character with an amazing location, common kitchen area, meet and greet other guests. This is an amazing lodge for families, couples and elderly. We had an amazing stay and Elvin is great!

A beautiful place with rustic charm. It was a last-minute reservation, and I am very glad to have booked two nights. It isn't modern or flashy but, it is perfect for the riverside environment it inhabits. The host is very nice and works at making the common areas feel like home. There is a fun energy around the grounds that strikes memories of summer camp. Amongst the other guest that were mostly families, my partner and I enjoyed the social energy which the facilities are set to encourage. If you are up for fun this is the place to be.

Unfortunately our stay was terrible. We were excited to stay here however were very disappointed. To begin, we couldn’t find our room. We called the number left at the front dest and he laughed, then stated it was outside on the deck. Once we located the room on the deck, we walked in to a window that was wide open with no screen. There was a large spider in the shower and spider webs EVERYWHERE throughout the room and bathroom. The bathroom sink wouldn’t drain, only drops at a time. Because of this the water couldn’t be left on in hopes to get hot water to wash my face. My partner took a quick shower but stated it never got warm but maybe slightly warmer than freezing after running for a while. There were only 2 very small, well used pillows in the room with no extras in the closet. The bed was comfortable enough but it was hard to sleep with the spiders and clearly dirty floor. With tax we paid over $200 for this experience. I hate to leave bad reviews but the total lack of attention to cleaning and not having hot water has forced me to do so.
