Welcome to your sunny redwood retreat in Monte Rio — a beautifully restored 120-year-old home that blends rustic charm with modern design. Perched on a quiet, tree-lined road, this private hideaway offers the perfect balance of seclusion and access to nearby adventures. Monte Rio Beach and the Russian River are just minutes away for swimming, kayaking, or soaking up the sun.
Inside, you'll find a spacious, light-filled interior with soaring ceilings, vintage wood beams, and designer finishes. The fully stocked kitchen opens to a cozy dining area and living room, all with serene views of the surrounding forest and fruit trees. There are two bedrooms — one in a lofted area — ideal for families, couples, or small groups.
Whether you're enjoying morning coffee on the deck, breaking a sweat in the home gym, or gathering in the game room for ping pong and board games, there's something here for everyone to enjoy.
Guests rave about the thoughtful renovation, peaceful setting, and stylish yet comfortable décor. You'll feel the history of the home — with all the modern upgrades that make it a true retreat.
Note: The road leading to the house is steep and narrow in parts, best suited for confident drivers. But once you arrive, the quiet, magical setting is more than worth it.
We look forward to hosting you!
