Redwoods Grove Lodge | Big House 7-Bed Retreat

About This Place

Step into a big, spacious home that feels like a trip down memory lane—just like visiting Grandma’s cabin at the lake, only better equipped for your modern-day getaway. This charming and classic Russian River retreat blends 1920s architecture with thoughtful updates, offering ample room for everyone to gather, relax, and reconnect. Nestled among towering redwoods in the cozy community of Rio Nido—just minutes from downtown Guerneville—this welcoming hideaway is the perfect home base for exploring Sonoma County or simply soaking up nature and nostalgia.

The Space

This large home was made for memory-making. A generous wraparound deck offers plenty of outdoor space to lounge under the trees or dine al fresco at the large table (seats 8) lit by glowing string lights. Fire up the gas grill and enjoy the quiet privacy of the backyard. Inside, the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen with an oversized dining table, an electric stove, a new 18” Bosch dishwasher, refrigerator, and all the cookware you need to prepare group meals.

The oversized living room is warm and welcoming, with comfy seating for the whole gang, a cable TV, and WiFi. A dedicated table in the living area is perfect for puzzles, board games, or catching up on emails. The cozy wood stove with a glass front adds a nostalgic glow on chilly nights.
