With an enchanting mix of historic, rustic and luxe, Rocktop Lodge is a beautifully unique and authentic high-end river getaway. The outdoor spaces are loaded with amenities – pool, redwood hot tub, game area, BBQ, tiki hut, gas firepit, outdoor dining, river access and privacy, while the stunning interiors have been updated just the right amount to keep the whole group comfortable, yet still retaining the spirit of the speakeasy-style heyday of the Russian River. Built in 1930, on the Russian River and along the original train route, this amazing lodge has a long history of hosting visitors coming to explore the redwood forests and swim and boat along the Russian River, and, in more recent years, visit the numerous world-class wineries just down the road. Grab your friends and family and enjoy some Rocktop Lodge R&R.
