Cottage vacation rentals in Monte Rio

We stayed at Rascal’s Flat for four days to celebrate our birthdays, just my wife and I. However it is equipped for people with dogs and children. Make sure your first time at the property is during the day! The road up is not that long but twisty and narrow. We absolutely loved it and had a wonderful stay! Would go back again!

My husband and I spent 3 nights at the lodge for our one year wedding anniversary. It is located on the same property as their vineyard which makes for a beautiful, serene view and setup. During our stay, we did a very personal wine tasting with David in the main house. It truly is a cool experience and unlike any other wine tasting I have done before, not to mention the wine was very good! The lodge itself is cozy and relaxing with a private back patio looking into the trees and nature. I wasn’t so sure about the outdoor shower at first but it was actually really nice! Water warmed up really fast and the view is amazing. The bed is located upstairs which was very comfortable and cozy with plenty of pillows and blankets. If you have trouble with mobility, the stairs leading to the bedroom are not easy to navigate and there are more stairs from the parking lot to the lodge with some uneven ground at times. If you are fine with stairs and some walking, it is well worth it!

The first thing you notice is the waves from all directions. You immediately feel at peace. All the amenities were easy to locate and good quality, including great pots and pans, knives dishes and gadgets for cooking. There were extra linens and towels, it was comfy upstairs and down. It was well laid out and you look out at Point Reyes and Tomales Bay while lying in bed upstairs. The stairs were quite steep but there was a nice bedroom downstairs as well. I enjoyed the heated ceramic floor in the downstairs bathroom and there was good water pressure. We loved the wide wraparound deck and dock, as well as outdoor tables and a garden. The beds and sofas were all very good quality and comfortable and it was nice to have the fireplace. The dog had room to sniff and roam safely at will as the decks and garden were well enclosed. Hog Island is one minute away, Tony’s five minutes away for the chowder, and truly awesome pizza at Route One on the way to the dog beach at Dillon. Thanks!

This is a charming place, beautifully kept with lovely furnishings. We really enjoyed the well appointed kitchen as we cooked every day. The yard and gardens are beautifully kept, peaceful and serene. Oranges growing right outside the house! We were in town for a wedding, and Santa Rosa is right in the middle of so many enjoyable things to do. We hiked on the CCT out past Bodega Bay, enjoyed restaurants in Healdsburg, visited the redwoods and shopped at the Barlow in Sebastopol. Thank you Cheryl for sharing your lovely home. We had a fabulous time!

This was a perfect spot for a personal retreat. I loved everything from the decor to the comfy bed to the private hot tub and well tended garden. I would love to come back again.

This home is absolutely beautiful! The outside is gorgeous and relaxing. The outdoor patio and hot tub are amazing! The location is also fabulous. We went to the Bothe-Napa state park and the Castello di Amorosa both of which were only 15min away as is downtown Calistoga which is really cute. We really enjoyed our stay!! The only slightly problematic feature is the toilet, it doesn’t really work.

If you're planning an escape in the Duncan Mills area, this is the place you want to be. It is conveniently located as a great jumping off point for all the local area has to offer or provides the perfect place for relaxation and reflection if that's what you need. Karen is a super host and very responsive should anything arise. The amenities at the River cottage cannot be understated. From the stocked kitchen to outdoor decks and gardens complete with hot tub and outdoor soaking tub there is something for everyone. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to another visit in the future. Consider a stay at Mama K's River Cottage, you'll be glad you did.

Incredible spot. Perfect location. Beautiful Airbnb. Will look to stay here anytime we’re in Healdsburg!!

We had a great experience at Caroline and Tim’s place! Walkable to Santa Rosa’s downtown area with lots of cafes, restaurants, and bars! Will keep this place in mind for a return visit to the area!

My 2nd stay in this lovely cottage,…, peaceful, tranquil and quiet. I will return.

Laying by the river on the deck with my two senior doggos was pure bliss!

About as good as an Airbnb gets, in my opinion. Just a lovely stay from start to finish. The cottage is cozy and situated in a very peaceful, beautiful setting, surrounded by towering redwoods, a little creek runs right alongside the property, and the hillside is lush with ferns. The cottage has amazing views from every window, but thick, easy to close curtains for privacy and sleeping late. The king size bed was perfectly firm and clean with nice cotton sheets and comforter. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with everything you could need, and it was easy to pair my phone to the Sonos speaker system for music. The hot tub is enormous, and just perfectly situated, so it felt very private and safe. All in all, everything about the place gets and A+! We didn’t interact with Tom beyond a few words at check-in, but he was warm and welcoming. We had zero problems, but when I messaged him to let him know we were checking out, he responded almost immediately. I hope we can stay here again!

such a dreamy spot. beautiful cozy space and wonderful hosts. highly recommend and will definitely be back again.

The house was very comfortable and perfect for a family get away! I loved the proximity to the beach. She allows a dog which is great.

Creekside Cottage is a thoughtful and well furnished home. It also has a great yard for relaxing, play space for our dogs and small granddaughter. Perfect and loved the location in the redwoods yet with sun and running water. The drive to town was gorgeous! Thank you Jane and Hank

Quaint cottage in Calistoga with coffee and restaurants within walking distance. Easy checkin and communication with the host. The room was clean and had a fire place and spa sized bath tub. We would definitely consider booking here again on our next trip to Calistoga.

The cottage was very peaceful and quiet. The location was great, very close to Freestone and Occidental, and only about fifteen minutes to the beach. There is a lot of seating area outside, and a little fenced-in spot surrounded by trees. It was great to bring our dog to the beach!

What a lovely little spot to enjoy some nature and the beautiful Sonoma Valley! Chad's place was nestled among the trees and while cozy, it had everything we needed -- updated kitchen and bathroom, comfy beds, and the most gorgeous enclosed deck. While the position of the cabin on a somewhat steep hill made it hard for our pup to enjoy the yard, the deck was fully secure and she enjoyed sitting outside with us, basking in the serenity.

We had a lovely stay! We forgot our portacrib/pack and play, but they had one we could use! Very cute row of cottages, and all the guests were quiet. Cute gardens in front, comfy chairs were nice.

This was our second time staying here, and would highly recommend it to anyone. Great location, and convenient to everything.

Had a wonderful stay at the vineyard & farm. It was incredibly peaceful. The home was very comfortable and inviting. Our 3 year old called it ‘light & bright’! 😂

The house was exactly as described. Beautiful location, amazing home, wonderful experience for our family! This home was so well decorated and charming and provided a great experience for our vacation. The location was equally stunning. Such a peaceful place for us to relax.

I work on a trail crew and it matters to us where we stay because where we live is usually quite uncomfortable. Immediately this haven was restful and lovely. There was an atmosphere of removal from stress, but not from fun. It is also within walking distance from wildflower bakery, and we went every morning. Thank you so much.

Spent the night at this cottage. Our plan was to spend the day at the river, but the weather was not on our side. Hosts gave us lots of great alternatives for activities in the area! Cottage itself was super clean and comfortable. We wanted to watch tv at night but the remote needed batteries. In a matter of 10 minutes, both hosts came to deliver some and make sure we were doing alright. Definitely appreciated and will be back when the weather is warmer!
