Absolutely a wonderful home on the river with all the amenities including river kayaks, all kitchen needs, fabulous deck, and location, location, location a huge plus!! Golf, beach, Armstrong Woods and more. Can’t wait to go back.
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!
Oh my goodness! Just the best little house on the river and a stone’s throw away from Northwood Golf Course, one of our favorite courses. Rheka’s home is beautiful, clean, completely stocked with all you need for a ver comfortable stay! We will definitely be back for more. We highly recommend!
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.
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!
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!
Two couples spent one week in September enjoying the area. Location is wonderful. View is wonderful and house fit our needs perfectly. Property owner was very responsive and helpful.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Such a wonderful weekend celebrating with friends and family. The setting was fantastic and the house was equipped with absolutely everything we wanted and needed. So looking forward to another visit next year.
Re-Treat Yourself to this traditional cabin on the Russian river
We went with some friends for a retreat style weekend and the house was a great spot. The place has a traditional cabin feel and had plenty of amenities that you would expect from a vacation rental. They had plenty of equipment canoes kayaks to use.
My family had a great time at Rekha’s beautiful property. The house has direct river access and is well equipped with kayaks and canoes. We enjoyed cooking, playing, and relaxing at the house. Will definitely return.
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.
The house was very comfortable and pretty. We had what we needed with kitchen equipment. We spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying the view. It was a much needed get away to relax. We all love the area and were happy to be near Northwood.
Thank you!

The house is really cozy and has all of the amenities (chairs, kayaks, life vests, board games, etc)
We saw deer, a weasel, an owl and a ton of beautiful birds like the blue heron and stellar jay. In the river we caught several fish and saw a large SEAL that must have lost his way from the ocean! The house is very cozy. Loved all of the amenities and also how well stocked the kitchen was. It was so nice to relax by the river every day, explore in the kayaks, swim and to be able to take day trips to Jenner beach. Great restaurants nearby and close to Safeway. Really enjoyed our stay!

Nice house, great location on the river, very quiet.
We had an excellent stay at the Robin’s Hood. It’s very private, and we loved the path that leads to the river. The house comes with kayaks that we took on the river for small trips. We saw deer every day, and lots of birds on the river. It’s very nice and quiet. The house itself is supplied with everything you need. The kitchen has all the pots and pans you need to cook. We loved the big tub in the master bathroom. The beds have very nice sheets, and we slept very comfortably there. Overall, an excellent choice.
This year I wanted a golf and river birthday. This was perfect. The house is less then 5 minutes walk from the 1st tee. So after my best Northwood round, we had a barbecue on the deck. We loved watching the woodpeckers and herons flying over the river. We spent Sunday being river bums, kayaked and floated. We celebrated the gifts of this location.
I couldn't ask for anything more.
Thank you

Beautiful home in a beautiful place!
Robin's Hood is a winner in every respect! The location is incredible, down a little lane, across the street from a meandering golf course surrounded by huge red wood trees. You are close enough to Gruenville and Monte Rio to have easy access to restaurants and shops but you are away from the hustle and bustle. The home itself is lovely! The setting is such that you can see the river from the house - I enjoyed breakfast each day on the deck overlooking the river and trees. I saw river otter playing the first morning! The house is decorated nicely, well stocked with kitchen items, as well as towels, bedding, etc. The beds are very comfortable.
The owner is easy to work with, responding quickly to any question.
I have nothing but good things to say about the property and the area!

About the host
Hosted by Rekha Patel
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.
