Why Stay Here
The Main Bar still has its original old-growth redwood ceiling, and it's where most evenings begin before moving outside to the fire pit. Baked on the River serves breakfast and lunch from 9 a.m., then switches to dinner Thursday through Sunday—guests rarely leave the property once they've settled in.
- 23 rooms arranged around a central pool and fire pit
- Baked on the River serves breakfast, lunch, and Thursday–Sunday dinner
- Main Bar features original old-growth redwood ceiling
- LGBTQIA+ destination for over four decades in Guerneville
The Experience
Mornings begin with pastries from Baked on the River before the pool deck fills up in the afternoon. The Main Bar, with its old-growth redwood ceiling, stays busy from late afternoon through evening. Dinner runs Thursday to Sunday, and the fire pit becomes the default gathering spot once the sun sets—often with bottles in hand and conversations that stretch past midnight.
The Setting
R3 Hotel wraps its 23 rooms around a central pool deck in the heart of Guerneville, where the property has operated as an LGBTQIA+ gathering spot for over four decades. Each room has its own bathroom, and the layout keeps everyone within a few steps of the pool, the bar, or the fire pit. Downtown Guerneville starts just outside the front entrance, but most guests circle back after exploring the river.
Dining
Baked on the River Restaurant
RestaurantBaked on the River Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with winter hours from Thursday to Monday. Guests can enjoy brunch and lunch from 9 am to 3 pm, and dinner from 5 pm to 9 pm, Thursday through Sunday.
Insider Tips
Request a room with a pool view to enjoy a vibrant atmosphere right from your window. Winter months see quieter crowds, making it an excellent time for a peaceful retreat.
