The River Queen Monte Rio has long been considered one of the premier riverfront vacation rentals in West Sonoma County. Originally built in 1930, the River Queen is a unique blend of historic design and modern convenience. The ideal location for a family reunion, multi-family vacation, work / rejuvenation retreat, book club study, golfer's home base or a dear friends getaway. Highlights include: an enclosed sunroom overlooking the back decks and the Russian River – with three separate seating areas; a large redwood deck with multiple levels, seating and dining areas, and a full-sized hot tub set in a fairy ring of majestic redwoods. The historic home is prominently located just before a deep bend along the river, with sturdy and wide concrete stairs that lead directly down to the Russian River with a seasonal concrete dock. There are 4 single kayaks, a canoe, and inflatable flotation devices. Located within minutes of Monte Rio, Duncan's Mills and Guerneville for easy access to pastimes such as shopping ( grocery and retail ), wine tasting, the Northwood Golf Club – an Alister MacKenzie designed nine-hole golf course, hiking trails in Armstrong Woods State Reserve, and the Pacific Ocean which offers the unique experience of joining the Russian River as it flows into the ocean before heading up or down the coastline to experience many beaches, state maintained hiking trails and the freshest sea food options in Sonoma County. The house has more than 5000 square feet of living area. A wonderful place for group activities, but large enough for everyone to have their own space to relax and enjoy.
