About this property

Robin's Hood on the River w/ Spectacular Views, near vineyards & coastal beaches

Robin's Hood is a cozy, modern home located on the riverfront with lofted ceilings and an open floor plan. From the living room, one can look out the picture windows and view the canopy of trees across the river bank. Blue herons, robin's, woodpeckers and an array of birds come to visit the private beach or the bird feeder on the deck. Kayaks are available for use and dock is available to launch kayaks from mid May to mid October.

The house has two large bedrooms with Queen beds, pillow top mattresses, in each room. Both bedrooms have a private deck. There is a smaller front room with picture windows and a view of the river that includes a trundle bed for two to sleep comfortably. The living room overlooks the deck and has a view of the surrounding trees. There are skylights throughout the house. The view from the deck is of the river and trees. There are no homes across the river and this is a very private spot.

For the gourmet chef, the kitchen is supplied with all the tools that you will need and an array of spices in the cabinets. The dining area seats 6 comfortably indoors and 8 plus outdoors.

There are board games, books, DVCs and other games provided to occupy your time. Beach chairs, floats, etc are all available for your use in the garage or the storage bin on the deck.

The house is 2 miles from Guerneville and 20 minutes from Jennar. There are a number of vineyards nearby and great walks on the beaches of the Sonoma coast or at Amstrong Woods.

River paradise

I can’t say enough good things about this property, it’s a magical river retreat. The home feels comfortable, accessible and welcoming. Its location is unbeatable, as the accessibility to the river, the redwoods, and town would be hard to beat. We’ll be back!

Amazing River Retreat!

Memorial weekend, on the river, with family is this beautiful home was amazing! Great location on the golf course with private river access, perfect for a family holiday weekend.The house itself was beautiful, very well thought out, definitely a river retreat feel. The host thought of everything from bedding, towels, toiletries, cookware, extra plates spices and even games to play! This was the best equipped VRBO I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve stayed all over the country.The host was very kind and accommodating. Very flexible about our check in and check out times and I can’t tell you how much we appreciated that.5 out of 5 Stars, can’t wait to go back for another trip!

Well needed birthday oasis/getaway

We absolutely loved everything about your home. Location was perfect. Close to downtown Guerneville and everything else. But we were mesmerized by being steps to the river. We became obsessed with kayaking up and down the river several times a day. It was exactly what we needed — time away from the hustle and bustle of San Francisco. And your kitchen was wonderful! So well stocked with spices and gadgets! We cooked a lot and had meals on the deck. Magical! Thank you so much.

House on the River

This house was perfect. The patio overlooked the river and provided amazing views. The kitchen was stocked well which made traveling from out of state easier (no need to buy spices/seasoning to cook). The bedrooms were spacious and the beds, comfortable. This was a great getaway!

Robin's Hood is a lovely spot, we definitely enjoyed our stay. Great location right on the river and 5 minute walk to the beautiful Northwood Golf Club...our group played 4 rounds during our stay! House was very clean and organized. You can tell owner is a great chef, as kitchen is fully equipped. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were clean. We definitely made use of the multiple kayaks (4 singles, 1 double) and canoe—really great (and rare) to have so many available to use. So wonderful to see river otters swimming nearby and scurrying along the shoreline. One issue was that the dock is at a fixed height (not floating) and this year the water level was well below the dock level so getting in and out of the kayaks at water's edge was somewhat problematic.One other issue...while the skylights throughout the house let in natural light during the day, the skylights in the bedrooms get very bright, very early in the morning. Definitely bring an eye mask if this might bother you.Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely stay here again!

This property is awesome with all the amenities of home. Grandchildren loved it-couldn’t get them out of the water(in kayaks) or the dock(fishing)! Neighbors are friendly and felt safe. Can’t wait for our next adventure.

Family vacation

The property was perfect for a family wanting to spend time together. It is near beautiful beaches. We went to Goat Rock beach 4 evenings to watch the sun set. It was empty and way more beautiful than puctures present. Napa Valley was a huge hit. Armstrong park nearby is great for Redwoods.

Enjoyed the peace and quiet of Robinshood rental. Was able to sew and finish a few Christmas gifts! My husband and family were over on Saturday to celebrate our Thanksgiving. Preparing the dinner was a breeze as Robinshood had ALL the amenities of home. Rehka was wonderful in responding quickly to my questions. Look forward to our next visit.

Beautiful view

We loved this house. Great communication, easy access. Quiet area. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped. The kayaks are great quality. We spent a lot of time on the beautiful spacious deck with the French doors open, enjoying the view. I would caution that the path down to the dock and the river is steep. We would definitely come again.

Great Golf Location

If you are looking for a house near the Northwood Golf Course or a river view this is the one. It was very comfortable for 5 people. (6 if you don't mind a trundle bed) location was across from 2nd hole of Northwood and very easy to get to. Comfortable beds and sitting area and well stocked kitchen! Would stay again for sure!!

Along the River

The property was beautiful, the view from the living room and deck was simply amazing; not to mention the Stellar Jays, woodpeckers and song birds that came to visit everyday. The kitchen was well stocked with every cooking device and utensil you could think to use. The water toys were in abundance and I haven't even mentioned the proximity to Northwood Restaurant and golf course.

Great experience

We had a great time at this property, which is nested in the redwoods with a beautiful view onto the river. The house was very clean and the kitchen was by far the best stocked we have ever had - all types of cooking and serving utensils and dish ware, spices and other condiments. There is a large deck with a large table to eat outside, several kayaks and a canoe for the river, and a gas fireplace in the living room to keep warm on cool evenings and mornings. The owner was very responsive and extremely flexible. Highly recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Rekha Patel

Host profile image
I decided to purchase the house in 2007 as a place to getaway from my busy urban life. I love Robin's Hood and the surrounding area as do my friends who come to visit. The most frequent comments from friends are about how much they love the house, views and the activities while we are up there. The golf course is adjacent to the house, an extra amenity for those who golf.

My most amazing experience at Robin's Hood was seeing a family of six river otters swimming at the beach, stop and play on the riverbank.

I hope that if you rent the house that you have a wonderful time.

Why they chose this property

Northwood, the area of Monte Rio the home is located in, is a really special area, there are no communities like it along the river. The house is in a rustic area but updated and modern with charming details.

What makes this property unique

Very quiet and peaceful. Great for kids also as they can hang out at the beach all day, play games on the deck. There are beaches nearby with tide pools or take a kayak ride from the private beach down the river. There is a picture on this site of the deer sighting that we had on one of our kayak rides and of the star fish we spotted at the beach.
