The Rio Nido Lodge 4444 Wood Road, Guerneville, CA 95446

"I never knew this place existed until my aunt and uncle stayed here. Absolutely gorgeous rooms, really friendly service and a very cool restaurant with tons of chandeliers and fancy leather couches everywhere. Roaring fires in both upstairs and downstairs lounges. The tacos were delicious and the portions more than filling. Karaoke DJ had an amazing voice! Suzy"

"The renovation of this charming establishment is incredible. The food-fantastic, entertainment is always fun, the AMBIANCE, is what you’d expect from a cabin-y resort in the woods-cozy, warm and welcoming. I love going to the lodge for a nosh and good time!"

"This place was amazing! We came here with my small dog for Christmas weekend, and it was the absolute perfect getaway. The room was cozy, clean and very comfortable! The staff here was above and beyond. Our first night Jess was a terrific server and went above and beyond helping us to light a fire pit outside to have drinks by. Patrick, Sophia, Mike, and Wendy were so welcoming and terrific. Our Christmas Eve, dinner was fantastic, the short ribs fell right off the bone. The vegetables were steamed perfectly, and the mashed potatoes needed no seasoning. I would highly recommend this place to anybody looking to escape. We will be coming here a lot in the future. Cannot thank the staff enough for their kindness!"

"Fantastic lodge, resturant & bar! A gem nestled in the redwoods. Everything is great and they always have fun events going on. Live music, shows, themed cocktails, cozy fireplaces, paint and sip parties, family events, and all of the rooms are beautiful and themed. Food is NOT bar food- it's restaurant quality and the best in the area! The food menu is always changing and offers a verity (which I personally love). Great to see a local family preserve a historic building and bring new life to it."

"Checked in for two nights and we thought it was cozy and worth the price! The lodge is cute and we really enjoyed the privately fenced yard space. The room we had is very much our jam for decor. We didn’t notice a thermostat and had some issues with our door not locking, but the staff that was around was very kind and helpful and even offered to move our room to make us feel better. The only issue we ran into was communication with the hosts, but we booked through Airbnb so that could be the reason. Host wouldn’t give a direct answer to simple yes/no questions, and often ignored them but would respond with typical copy and paste texts that completely ignored my questions. Also no response about our door not locking. Lodge/restaurant had a great beer selection and the food menu looked good. Location and coziness made up a little for lack of responses. Check it out if you’re in the area!"
