We had an amazing stay. We came looking for a place where we could stay on the property, disconnect, and just breathe and this delivered. The views were exactly what we needed, and the whole place felt like a reset for the soul. A true mental break. Perfect spot to just slow down.

Our stay was amazing. We went to celebrate our baby moon/anniversary and the owner upgraded us to a room with a River front view. The hospitality was so great, the view was amazing, the inn was so peaceful with so many gorgeous spots to sit and view the river. If you’re looking for a cozy peaceful spot to stay with plenty of woodsy views nearby, Inn on the Russian River is a great choice!
