    Discover More in Rio Nido

    Rio Nido is a funky, forested hideaway along the Russian River -- equal parts retro and refreshing. Known for its summer concerts, dog-friendly river beach, and quirky community vibe, Rio Nido is a local favorite for low-key vacations, weekend getaways, and nostalgic summer fun.

    Float the river by day, then catch live music at the Rio Nido Roadhouse by night. Explore redwood trails, local wineries, and nearby Guerneville. It’s a place where screen doors still slam, neighbors wave from porches, and the biggest decision is which float to use.

    With Greetwell, guests can enjoy in-home massages, chef-led BBQ nights, stargazing walks, and local-led history tours. Whether you're traveling solo, with your family, or with your chosen crew, Rio Nido brings the spirit of summer camp -- no matter your age.
