Guerneville Lodge

Great access to a dock and canoe, beautiful large lawn, hot tub and rustic feel were the best parts.

This reminded me of my trips to Austria - a once grand home that has been converted to a lodge, in the best possible way. The owner, Al, was always available if we had questions. We appreciated access to the kitchen, beautifully decorated living room and grounds. The family hotel room was perfect for us with comfortable beds. But the grounds and waterfront sealed the deal. We will be back!

The proximity to the town, the views, and the staff

Perfect location, Jacuzzi was nice, amazing grounds/bookroom, shared kitchen. Al was an amazing host... it was like staying at a friends place.

Very quint 1900s inn.
It is hard to give this only one rating.
If you are visiting the area for a vacation and experience this is a 10+
It is a throw back to a by-gone era of a true 1900 guest inn. Al Cooper and his wife had done an OUTSTANDING job of preserving a legacy experience that is hard to find in todays commercialized hotels and inns.
If you are visiting for a business or sporting event (I was doing a 90 mile cycling race) - rate it at 7.
This is because of the proximity to the road with traffic noise which calms down after about 12am.
All of the rooms are bed rooms - no TVs, microwaves, refrigerators...etc.
Guests can access the common generous kitchen and facilities.
Go here is you want to enjoy the experience - not if you have a demanding agenda.

This is a classic old log lodge, in the style of a National Park lodge, or an old wayside inn. Lovely common room with well- loved leather armchairs and a rock fireplace. Rooms are clean, recently painted and comfortable. If you want a giant TV, there will be none on the premises. Go out on the deck and look at the redwoods and the river.
You have the run of the kitchen to cook breakfast or anything you want. Staples in the pantry, somebody always makes the coffee in the morning.

They did an offer breakfast. But the host advised us that there were eggs in the refrigerator if we wanted to cook them.

The owner Al was amazing, super cool guy! The inside was decorated so well, very rustic and felt like a camping experience indoors. Love that we were able to use the kitchen and he provided eggs, bacon, and cheese!! right on the river .and there’s a campground as well fire pits, and smokers and barbecues. Al lit candles, and the fire in the main fireplace for us when it was just me and my friend on a girls trip, it really added to the ambience and felt like we had the whole place to ourselves!

Free Wifi, Full kitchen available- cook whatever you want. Beautiful lounge/library/sitting area with large stone fire place. It was winter so we had a nice fire going. Very intimate, cozy atmosphere. Perfect for family or friend gathering.

Very campy and rustic but felt like home. Beautiful lodge and room!
