Jan - Mar Special 829 per night Historic Riverfront Estate 5 / 5.5 + Hot Tub

The River Queen has long been considered one of the premier riverfront vacation rentals in West Sonoma County. Originally built in 1930, the River Queen is a unique blend of old and new. The ideal location for a family reunion, multi-family vacation, work retreat, or friends getaway. Highlights include: an enclosed sun porch overlooking the back decks and the River – with three separate seating areas; a large redwood deck with multiple levels, seating and dining areas, and a full-sized hot tub set in a fairy ring of majestic redwoods. Concrete stairs lead directly down to the River with a seasonal concrete dock. There are kayaks, a canoe, and inflatable flotation devices. Located within minutes of town, shopping, and Northwood Golf Club – an Alister MacKenzie designed nine-hole golf course, hiking trails, and the Pacific Ocean. The house has more than 5000 square feet of living area. A wonderful place for group activities, but large enough for everyone to have their own space to relax and enjoy.

The River Queen is simply amazing

What an amazing location - right on the river in a quaint town next to a absolute gem of a golf course. Would love to come back here. Plentiful amenities at the home with lots of entertainment, a hot tub within the redwoods, and the Russian River. Would love to come back!

Wonderful stay!

The River Queen was the perfect venue for our annual family vacation. Our group of 10 consisted of two 70-somethings, four 40-somethings, one teenager, and three preteens. There were ample activities for everyone, despite the fact that the unseasonably chillly weather kept us indoors more than we had anticipated. Nonetheless, mornings spent watching herons, otters, and other local “wildlife,” coupled with chill afternoons made for a great stay. The location was great, the house well appointed, and the whole booking process seamless. All 10 of us would be happy to return!

Amazing trip with friends

We had such a great time at the River Queen! There are so many things to do both at the house and in the surrounding area. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment. We really enjoyed the game tables downstairs and the hot tub in the redwoods. Would absolutely stay here again if given the opportunity.
