We stumbled into this little lodge, and were pleasantly surprised! A sweet little campus surrounded by redwoods! We soaked up the quiet, used the great wi-fi connection, and happily went on our way the following morning!

This place is super clean and when me and my partner stayed there - super quiet. Pool was very nice along with the staff. It is right by the golf course, a restaurant and a coffee shop.
The room was quaint, with a spa tub and good air conditioning/heat.
It is perfect for a quiet getaway, especially if you want to go join the party scene in Guernville, but just don't want to sleep around it.

This older property is well-maintained, with lovely gardens and pool, and a very accommodating manager. The clientele appears to be mainly retirees and foreign tourists, so it was very quiet when we were there.

My friend and I stayed at the Northwood Lodge on a late September weekend for a wedding in Monte Rio. All the lodging in Monte Rio was already booked. We were not unhappy with our choice; it was a good value, as we were not spending much time at our lodging.

The place is actually much more attractive in real life than in the website photos...at the foot of towering redwoods, with well kept grounds and a very pleasant pool. Our room was clean, quiet, and smelled nice. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was new and well appointed. I was able to make tea in the morning (very important!)

It is a simple motel, and a good place to stay if you don't want to spend too much, and there are myriad things to do very nearby. The ocean is about 10 minutes away, and Monte Rio and Guerneville are full of charm.
