Totally worth it to stay here. Place is very cute. While the bathroom is small and the houses are close together, the big bedrooms and well appointed kitchen are great. Sitting on the back deck and using the kayaks right from the dock were our favorite parts.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Menary

Host profile image
I grew up in San Francisco but spent many weekends and all summer in this home in Monte Rio. My dream was to move to the Russian River and purchase this home back as my parents had sold it years before. It has been lovingly renovated keeping the old river charm. I love sharing the dream with my guests.

Why they chose this property

This home was my families summer home in the 60's and 70's. I purchased it in 1998 and have enjoyed restoring the home. I have many fond memories of summers spent at this home in Monte Rio.

What makes this property unique

I enjoy watching the wildlife along the river, kayaking or just relaxing on the deck. Dock is installed during the month of May and removed late October (Weather dependent). Kayaks are available during these times.
