Our largest one bedroom, The Heron is a lovely, comfortable and well designed cottage, with a private fenced yard, HUGE deck. It is a beautifully decorated, private, romantic cottage, for up to four people. It has a private spa, gas fireplace, kitchen w/black granite counter tops, dishwasher, and gas barbeque. It is nicely furnished, with cable TV, Wi-Fi, phone and had luxury linens provided.
We have just remodeled the whole compound (three sweet cottages, a studio and 2 one bedrooms, that sleep from 1-6 people) and we are very proud of how it has turned out. We think that it is sweet and comfortable and we hope that you will like it too.
Designed to let you retreat to your own vacation wonderland or gather with friends and family for social reunions, Monte Rio Cottages can be rented individually or together. This cottage has been completely remodeled and refurbished. It was built at the turn of the 1900's. The cottage has been completely renovated with 21st century amenities. Artistically designed, the cottages are joined by on extensive deck that is separated by many gates.
You can keep your cottage private with your gates closed or open all of the gates for use of the entire compound by one group. (The 2 other cottages are also listed with VRBO, and can be seen there.)
We have a two night minimum all year three day minimum for holiday and special local events. A security deposit and cleaning fee are required. If you rent it for the whole week, you pay for 6 nights and get the 7th night free. We sometimes offer specials for mid week, and we have weekly and winter rates. Please call me for more pictures and to ask questions. Thanks for your interest. Janis

Owner's Profile
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
Our cottages are newly renovated and beautiful! We are in a redwood forest; a wooded setting, yet it is sunny all day at the cottages. The little 1/2 acre compound is fenced, and we have a wonderful common area, with a nice fire pit for evening campfires. We have a great location...15 minutes from the coast, in the middle of the California Wine Country, 5 blocks from the public beach, on the Russian River, 1/2 block from a safe, beautiful bar and restaurant that overlooks the river and we are in the Redwoods! We are 5 minutes from Northwoods Golf Course. (It was designed by Alister MacKenzie, who also designed Pebble Beach.) Monte Rio is known as "Vacation Wonderland"!
