The Inn on the Russian River is a small West Sonoma County property distinguished by direct private river access, rare among area inns. Surrounded by mature redwoods, it carries the relaxed, slightly bohemian feel of an earlier Russian River resort. Patio seating, gardens, and an evening fire pit anchor the grounds; Korbel Champagne Cellars is minutes away. Pet-friendly rooms available.

The Inn on the Russian River is a small West Sonoma County property whose distinguishing feature is direct private river access — a quality almost no other inn in the area can match without booking a vacation rental. Surrounded by mature redwoods, the inn has the relaxed, slightly bohemian feel of a Russian River resort from an earlier era, refined enough for romantic getaways but unfussy enough for families. Korbel Champagne Cellars is five minutes away; downtown Guerneville and Forestville's tasting rooms are within a 10-minute drive.

Specialty Offerings

The property includes guest rooms with classic Wine Country comfort, large patio seating with BBQs, gardens, and a generous evening fire pit ideal for s'mores and stargazing. The inn often hosts small weddings and family reunions when the entire property is rented; on regular booking nights, individual rooms are available for couples and solo travelers. Pet-friendly accommodations are available. The Russian River Valley wineries — Hartford Family, Iron Horse, Marimar Estate, Joseph Swan — are minutes away by car, and the Sonoma Coast is 30 minutes west.

General Manager

Hotel Highlight

Cassidy Johnston is General Manager of Inn on the Russian River, the small Forestville inn whose direct private river access has made it a quiet West Sonoma County favorite. Based in California, she's the public face of the property's recent ownership transition — responding personally to guest reviews and overseeing the property improvements introduced under the new ownership.

The Inn's private direct access to the Russian River sets it apart from every other lodging in the corridor — guests step out the back of the property onto a redwood garden and reach the water without crossing public land. Walking distance to Korbel Champagne Cellars and short drives to Armstrong Redwoods make the inn a launching pad for the western Russian River Valley.
