The Experience
Guests spend mornings on private balconies with coffee, then wander into Guerneville's shops and restaurants on foot. The fire pits get lit after dark, and the pool becomes a social hub once the sun sets. Dogs are welcome in three designated pet-friendly rooms, and the Russian River Wine Road—lined with tasting rooms pouring Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, and Chardonnay—is a short drive into Dry Creek and Alexander Valley.
The Setting
The property occupies a redwood-shaded parcel in downtown Guerneville, with cabins and cottages spread across the grounds and a creek running nearby. Towering redwoods frame the pool area, where the clothing-optional policy draws a particular crowd during the warmer months when the solar cover heats the water. The Woods is gay-owned and welcomes LGBTQ+ travelers, and the vibe reflects that—relaxed, spirited, and unapologetically adult-only.
