Monte Rio 2BR A-frame on the Russian River — dogs welcome | House in Monte Rio
2 Bedroom House in Northwood, Monte Rio
Summary:
Redwood Lodge sleeps 4 adults across two bedrooms and a private loft sleeping area — with one of the bedrooms tucked off the garage for guests who'd rather have their own space. The wraparound deck looks out over the Russian River through redwood crowns. Steps from Northwood Golf Club, a mile from Monte Rio Beach, and dog-friendly. Out here, the only schedule that matters is sunrise and sunset.
The Space:
Redwood Lodge is a traditional A-frame on the Russian River, with exposed pine-beam cathedral ceilings rising above walls of glass that open onto the redwood canopy. Original lines and warm wood throughout -- not a modern remodel, but a true classic A-frame cabin with all the character that comes with one. River and mountain views frame the 1,100-square-foot interior.
Spend mornings on the wraparound deck with coffee and the river canyon below, afternoons on the redwood trails or in the Russian River Valley tasting rooms, and evenings around the dining table comparing notes from the day's bottles.
The open living space centers on a dark leather sectional facing the wall-mounted TV, with tile floors, layered area rugs, and large windows framing the redwoods on every side. The galley kitchen, lined with light wood cabinets, comes fully equipped -- dishwasher, full-size fridge, and counter space enough for two cooks. A wooden dining table seats six under a chandelier, with a china cabinet ready for the day's tasting-room finds.
OUTDOOR LIVING
The wraparound deck makes the most of the hillside -- a dining table with umbrella, a gas grill for riverside barbecues, and lounge seating angled toward the forested ridges and distant mountain views.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Two queen bedrooms plus a private loft sleeping area sleep four adults. The main-floor bedroom sits beside the living area with its own sliding door onto the deck. The loft sleeping area is up its own staircase, tucked under the A-frame ceiling and served by a private bathroom — there's no door between the loft and the living area below, so think of it as an open suite (private in feel, but not fully enclosed). The second bedroom is off the garage and offers a private retreat for guests who'd rather not share — no central heat, but a space heater is provided.

The Neighborhood:
Your Monte Rio retreat sits just 0.1 miles from Northwood Golf Club's legendary Alister MacKenzie-designed course — a bucket-list experience for golfers set among towering redwoods. When you're ready to explore, Bia Cafe is also just 0.1 miles away for your morning coffee. The beloved Monte Rio Beach with its shallow swimming area and volleyball courts is an easy 1-mile journey. For provisions, Fern's Market (0.8 mi) and Bartlett's Market (1.1 mi) offer local goods, while Safeway (1.7 mi) provides full grocery options. Dining ranges from casual to special at Highland Dell Lodge (0.9 mi), a historic 1906 property serving American and German cuisine, or Boho Manor (0.8 mi) with its Gatsby-themed riverfront setting. Wine enthusiasts will love the proximity to Russian River Valley tasting rooms — Porter-Bass Winery is just 1.6 miles away, while the famous Korbel Champagne Cellars sits 2.8 miles east.
Getting Around:
Monte Rio is about 90 minutes from San Francisco via 101 and River Road, a winding drive through redwoods and river country. You'll have parking for up to 2 vehicles in the narrow driveway. 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:
The fireplace and wood stove in photos are decorative only -- a portable space heater is in the bedroom off the garage if you need supplemental heat. Occupancy is capped at 4 adults.
A set of interior stairs leads up to the main level of the house. The home sits right on the Russian River, but the property itself doesn't have direct river access. There's no air conditioning -- the redwood canopy and the home's elevated design catch river breezes and keep the interior naturally cool, even on warm summer days.
High-speed internet runs throughout the home. Dogs are welcome and must be leashed outdoors since the property isn't fenced. The surrounding roads are narrow and winding, typical of Russian River properties. Monte Rio observes quiet hours from 10 PM to 7 AM, and outdoor amplified sound isn't permitted. Minimum age to book is 21.
