Why This Home Stands Out
Aunt G’s captures the laid-back spirit of Monte Rio with elevated river views, towering redwoods, and Northwood Golf Club nearby. Its scenic deck and comfortable single-level interior make it an easy home base for Russian River days, golf, Wine Country exploring, and trips to the Sonoma Coast.

Relax in the open living area surrounded by river and forest views. Comfortable seating, a Smart TV, and gas fireplace create a welcoming spot for movie nights and cozy evenings after a day of exploring.


Kitchen & Dining
The bright, fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for easy vacation meals. Dine indoors or fire up the gas BBQ and enjoy dinner outside on the deck beneath the redwoods.


BEDROOMS & SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

Outdoor Living
Step onto the elevated deck for Russian River and forest views surrounded by the beauty of Monte Rio. Enjoy morning coffee beneath the redwoods, BBQ dinners outdoors, peaceful sunsets, or stargazing after dark.
Please note: The riverbank below the home is too steep for direct river access. Nearby public river beaches and access points are available.

The place was left nicely turned on...tv, music, lighting, fans, etc. The back deck overlooking the river was better than expected. The setting couldn't be better.

Tranquility

Lovely spot on the river. Quiet and peaceful. Very clean. The kitchen could use a knife sharpener and maybe an extra baking sheet. The dishwasher didn't work but the bbq was great! Overall, a great place on the river. We'll be back!

Beautiful location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The area was beautiful and it was so lovely to have the balcony overlooking the river. The home had everything we needed. There were just a few things that needed some maintenance. The dishwasher seemed to be broken, and the toilet seat was wooden and split.
