Rocktop Lodge ~ Riverfront Lodge with private pool, hot tub & great views | House in Forestville
4 Bedroom House in Hacienda, Forestville
With an enchanting mix of historic, rustic and modernized, Rocktop Lodge is a beautifully unique and authentic river getaway. The outdoor spaces are loaded with amenities – pool, hot tub, game area, BBQ, tiki hut, gas firepit, outdoor dining, river access and privacy, while the stunning interiors have been updated just the right amount to keep the whole group comfortable, yet still retaining the spirit of the speakeasy-style heyday of the Russian River. Built in 1930, on the Russian River and along the original train route, this amazing lodge has a long history of hosting visitors coming to explore the redwood forests and swim and boat along the Russian River, and, in more recent years, visit the numerous world-class wineries just down the road. Grab your friends and family and enjoy some Rocktop Lodge R&R.

There is ample space for 10 people around hardwood table in the formal dining room. Vintage wood paneling and custom built-in cabinets are reminiscent of a premium mountain lodge.

OUTDOORS:
Rocktop Lodge is located on the Russian River, with a private dock. Bring your own paddleboard or kayak for added fun.
There is so much to entertain – grill outdoors and dine under the pergola. Serve up happy hour at the tiki hut. Take a swim in the private pool, Hot Tub: If you've stayed at Rocktop Lodge before, you remember the redwood tub. The owner is working to replace the tub and it will return to the listing with photos as soon as the replacement is located. Enjoy cornhole or horseshoes, or just sit around the gas firepit and catch up with loved ones. Magical.
