River Time ~ Come Stay on the River! Access to Park, Riverfront, In Town River Time is located directly on the Russian River and offers the perfect retreat for families and friends. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and over half an acre of yard, there's plenty of space for everyone to unwind and make lasting memories. Witness panoramic views of the river and surrounding mountains from the deck and many windows. Imagine starting your day with a cup of coffee on the seasonal river dock, watching the wildlife come alive – diving osprey and statuesque blue herons. Spend your afternoons exploring the river with our complimentary kayaks or simply relaxing on the back deck. In the evenings, gather in the grand living room with loved ones, sharing stories about your adventures! Cook dinner – the BBQ is on the deck – and watch a movie, play a game, or grab one of the provided musical instruments.Happily located in downtown Monte Rio, just steps to the Monte Rio Beach, playground, and community center, a very short walk to the Monte Rio Theater and Bartlett’s Market, and short drive to the Sonoma Coast, River Time presents the perfect blend of peacefulness and convenience for your next vacation.Know Before You Book: Maximum Occupancy and Quiet Hours: The maximum occupancy at River Time is 6 people not including kids under 3 years old.

Docks, Boats, and River Access: These are seasonal amenities and only available when conditions allow. Expect docks, boats, and river access when the summer dams are in (mid-June to mid- September). Conditions vary from year to year and can change rapidly – use your best judgement to determine your risk level and comfort in the water/physical activity. The dock is present year-round but goes underwater when the river comes up and is quite muddy until cleaned off each spring – this date varies based on river conditions. There are two tandem kayaks, when available, locked at the dock and stairs to the river dock from the backyard. Guests can utilize the beach next door year-round providing conditions are safe.A Note About the Road/Monte Rio Park: River Time is on River Road/Hwy 116 which is a two lane (one lane in each direction) rural highway to the coast. While it can get busy, the house is set quite a distance from the road and the house is oriented with most windows facing the river. The Monte Rio Beach, Park, and Community Center are next door. The play structure is closest to River Time and you may hear kids enjoying it. There is a house between River Time and the Community Center and the Beach is on the opposite side of the MRRPD property. We don’t find road noise or sounds from the park troublesome.Proximity to wineries: There are tasting rooms in downtown Guerneville (4.3 mi), wine bar in Duncan’s Mills (3.9 mi), and more vineyards and tasting rooms than you can visit within 15 miles.
