Guerneville 3BR riverfront log lodge with hot tub — dogs welcome

Summary:

Sunlight filters through towering redwoods onto the private hot tub where you'll soak after floating the Russian River. This 1930s log lodge sleeps 10 with room for your dogs to roam the enclosed yard. Step through the 11-foot picture window view to your private river beach — one of the best fishing holes in Guerneville. Just 0.2 miles from The Lodge at Dawn Ranch and 0.3 miles from downtown's taco trucks and cafes.



The Space:

Antler chandeliers, log walls, and an 11-foot picture window holding the Russian River — this 1930s lodge is Guerneville's old soul, sleeping 10 with an eight-acre private river beach (shared with just a few neighbors) that hides one of the best fishing holes in town. Dogs are welcome in the enclosed yard.



The vast great room rises beneath antler chandeliers, a stone fireplace anchoring leather Chesterfields and a Chesterfield sofa. An 11-foot picture window holds the river so persistently it might as well be a wall; a second seating area in soft blue-green tones spreads across Oriental rugs, and a small office loft above is set up for a stretch of remote work. The kitchen anchors with cherry cabinets, a gas range, and serious gear — KitchenAid mixer, commercial waffle iron, holiday-ready cookware — and the formal dining room sets six beneath a crystal chandelier.



OUTDOOR LIVING

The covered patio is an outdoor room unto itself — exposed beam ceiling, brick fireplace, and ornate driftwood furniture set the scene. A vine-draped pergola shelters a picnic table for al fresco meals. The large meadow backyard leads directly to eight acres of private beach shared with just a few neighbors, featuring the best fishing hole in town. Soak in the private hot tub, fire up the BBQ, or claim a sunny spot in the spacious side yard.



SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

Three bedrooms and a loft sleep up to ten guests. The first bedroom overlooks the river with a king bed in red and black plaid bedding with leopard print accents. The second riverfront bedroom features a king bed surrounded by log walls. The third bedroom holds two queen beds beneath an antler chandelier with colorful patterned bedding. Up in the loft, two twin beds offer a tucked-away retreat.

Guest Access:

Soak in the private hot tub as redwoods rise around the log lodge, then warm by the stone fireplace under antler chandeliers and exposed beams.

Grab the key from the lockbox; up to three cars fit, two in the driveway plus on-street out front.



The Neighborhood:

Your riverfront perch puts you at the heart of Guerneville's best experiences. Stroll 0.2 miles to The Lodge at Dawn Ranch for farm-to-table dining or grab morning coffee there before your day begins. Downtown Guerneville's eclectic dining scene starts just 0.3 miles away — try Saucy Mama's soul food, the famous Guerneville Taco Truck at Safeway, or ZENSHI for handcrafted sushi. Stock up on provisions at Safeway (0.3 mi) or drive to Bartlett's Market (2.3 mi) for local specialties. Wine tasting awaits at Korbel Winery (2.2 mi) or venture to Gary Farrell Vineyards (5.8 mi) for panoramic valley views with your Pinot. Hike among ancient redwoods at Armstrong Woods (2.4 mi) or let your dogs run free at Bruno Farnocchia Dog Park (2.0 mi). Summer days call for floating from Johnson's Beach or launching kayaks at Guerneville River Park (0.6 mi). For a scenic drive, follow Highway 116 west through Monte Rio to where the Russian River meets the Pacific at Goat Rock Beach (7.5 mi).



Getting Around:

Guerneville is about 90 minutes from San Francisco via 101 and River Road — a scenic drive through vineyards and into the redwoods. You'll have parking for up to three vehicles: two in the driveway plus street parking in front of the home. A car makes the Russian River Valley easy to explore, from redwood trails to riverside wineries. Cell service gets patchy in the redwoods, so downloading offline maps before you arrive is worth it.



Other Things to Note:

This home stays naturally cool thanks to river breezes and redwood shade — like most historic Russian River cabins, it doesn't have air conditioning. Exterior security cameras cover the property perimeter. Please note the decorative fireplace is not operational. Your dog will love the enclosed yard and meadow — just remember to keep them on the furniture-free floor and always clean up after them. The eight-acre private beach is a rare amenity shared with just a few neighbors. It offers some of the best fishing in Guerneville if you're an angler. Quiet hours from 10 PM to 7 AM help preserve the peaceful river atmosphere. The home's eclectic mix of antiques and wildlife art reflects its 1930s heritage — each room tells a story of Russian River history.
