A 10/10 !!! Spending the 250th celebration of America's Independence with us was quite the compliment. We are so very pleased that the River Queen kept to her graces and provided your group with a great stay. Life on the Russian River can't get much better than this. Here's to hoping to host you again.

This property is fantastic! An amazing location on the river with all the boats and floats you need for a great time! I appreciated that guests mostly all had their own bathroom and it nicely accommodated all of our guests. We really enjoyed the hot tub under the redwoods with such a gorgeous view of the river.

This was the perfect place to stay with our family. The home was spacious with plenty of room to spread out, the hot tub was heavenly and and the game room had everything that you could want from a game room. The water access worked well and there is a beach just across the river from the dock. We would definitely stay here again when visiting the Guernville, Monte Rio area,

Hurray! Receiving a 10/10 rating from a first-time guest who stayed for 5 nights is the cream of the crop indeed. A longer stay such as yours blends the opportunity to bounce around the area, and most importantly, to spend a longer time enjoying what the River Queen Monte Rio has to offer. We especially enjoy hearing feedback about our hot tub; we purchased it just a few weeks ago and while we agree its circular design is the perfect match resting beneath the redwoods, knowing that our guests are enjoying using backs up our choice. We hope we will become a must do on your to do list in the future.

Amazing place to stay on the river!! Our group had an incredible time enjoying all the amenities of the place. Only thing to note was there was no shampoo/conditioner or bath products available which would have been nice.

Thank you for taking the time to post a 10/10 review of your experience while staying with us recently at the River Queen Monte Rio. We do our best to fill the home with the must haves and all the extra's that one might find fun. We do provide ample scentless liquid hand soap and body wash, however, as we have found that most guests prefer to bring their favorite shampoos and conditioners with them, we do not supply those products at this time. We will definitely take your suggestion into consideration however! We hope you will return again.

The house was very comfortable and allowed our three generations to spread out. The kitchen allowed us to cook our Thanksgiving dinner as well as other meals. The large dining room table accommodated us well. I liked that the large tv on the upper level was up high and out of the way. The hot tub surrounded by trees was especially enjoyed.
