Discover More in Monte Rio
Monte Rio is a riverfront retreat nestled in the redwoods of western Sonoma County. With its nostalgic vibe, outdoor lifestyle, and Russian River access, it’s a low-key gem where old-school California summer meets modern-day wellness and relaxation. Think canoes, cabins, and calm afternoons on the water.
Start your day with a paddle down the river or a quiet coffee on your porch as mist rises from the redwoods. Visit Monte Rio Beach for swimming or sunbathing, then explore forest trails, local wineries, or a Greetwell-arranged picnic in the woods. The vibe is peaceful and retro -- an escape that feels like a simpler time.
Monte Rio is especially loved for its easygoing charm, proximity to Guerneville, and access to coast and countryside alike. Greetwell guests can enjoy in-home yoga, guided river walks, storytelling sessions under the stars, and fireside chef dinners with seasonal, local ingredients.
