Reviewed on 2024-05-07 by JenniferBeautiful stay on the Russian River. We loved that the house had 2 kayaks and a canoe that we could take on the river. I took my daughters and their friends and we all loved the spot! The fock was also a great spot to fish. We even saw 3 river otters on our last morning. The girls could all sleep in the loft upstairs together. The beds were super comfortable and nice flat screen in master bedroom. I only wish we could have stayed longer!

Reviewed on 2024-05-11 by StephanieAbsolutely loved our stay at the Lazy River Lodge. It was such a peaceful place, ticket into the redwoods with the river gliding by. Super close to Armstrong State Preserve which was lovely. Very comfortable and cozy place, hope to stay again soon!

Airbnb Review-October 2023
Reviewed on 2024-05-07 by KristeneWe loved this home. It had everything we needed -- lots of space for the kids to stretch out in the loft, the foosball table was a nice surprise, big comfy couch and beds, ample seating on the deck w/beautiful views of the trees and river. I even got multiple visits by a hummingbird wanting to say hi. Loved how easy it was to get to Johnson's Beach, Armstrong woods, and downtown Guerneville for coffee and shopping... just minutes away. We really enjoyed our stay would love to come back!

Awesome balcony view
Reviewed on 2024-04-18 by Alana S. , Fremont, CA United StatesThe balcony has awesome river and forest view. The house is very clean. Living room is spacious with great TV and lots of games. The loft is super cute with many beds and game. My son loved playing in the loft so much. <br/>We had a wonderful time doing BBQ in the balcony and just cannot get enough from the awesome view! The location is mins away from a small river beach.Super close to Armstrong redwood park too. 30 mins from beautiful highway 1 beaches. <br/><br/>The only thing I wish they could do better is the broken deck. I thought there is a deck connecting to the river, but many stairs are broken already , so you cannot go all the way down to the river from the private stairs.
Manager's Response
The stairs aren't broken, they don't get installed until the dock and dams go in mid June.

Airbnb Review - August 2023
Reviewed on 2023-08-15 by SravyaThe place was absolutely gorgeous. Our entire family from ages 3 to 67 enjoyed kayaking right from the property at different times of the day. Loved the flexibility in enjoying the outdoors. We also really enjoyed the hot tub, outdoor grill, and seating area. The place could easily accommodate more people than 6 as there are 6 beds in total, but there are only 1.5 baths, so it was perfect for our party of 6. Restaurants and Safeway is all very close by (<10 mins) so it was super convenient to grab food or stuff we needed.

We would love to host you again!

Airbnb Review - July 2023
Reviewed on 2023-08-15 by RobertThis place was awesome! Our kids had a great time with kayaks provided with the home. Hot tub was great and also the views from the deck were beautiful. Would definitely recommend
Manager's Response
We will be back!
Reviewed on 2023-07-12 by Rosemarie P. , Napa, CA USThe house is great, we have stayed here before. Dillon Beach Property Mgmt did a good job fixing it up, painting and upgrading the kitchen. The house was perfect for our stay. Spacious living room and dining with a big deck and perfect view of the River. We had our two kids with us and loved sleeping in the loft.<br/>We brought our own SUP and the house had two kayaks. Getting out on the River early is just heavenly!<br/>Do be careful locking and unlocking the kayaks - the metal wiring is sharp and can cut easily.<br/>We will definitely be back next year!

Lazy River Lodge – "Your FUN Riverside Playground in Guerneville!"
Perched right on the sparkling Russian River, Lazy River Lodge is a riverside escape where fun flows as easily as the water. Classic cabin vibes meet modern comfort, with walls of windows framing redwoods, cozy spots for lounging, and a fully stocked kitchen ready for pancake mornings, snack raids, or sunset feasts.
Step outside and the adventure kicks into high gear! Sip coffee on the deck, toast cocktails by the fire table as the sun sets, or slip into the hot tub under the stars—pure forest-and-river magic. The game room is your headquarters for ping pong tournaments, foosball face-offs, and endless laughter for all ages.
When you’re ready to explore, downtown Guerneville is just a mile away with shops, restaurants, and river adventures, while your private deck and riverfront view make it feel like your own secret hideaway. Paddle, float, hike, or just kick back with your crew and let the river set the pace.

We loved our stay at the Lazy River Lodge and would happily stay again!Every day we would cook, paddle around with the lodge's kayaks/canoe/floating chairs, hang out on the deck and read, watch tv, and play the provided boardgames. The wifi worked perfectly for us and there were plenty of outlets.The shopping district was a short 3 min drive away (walking distance, but walking on the shoulder with cars zooming by is nervewracking) and it was easy to pop out for coffee or to pick up olive oil for cooking. There were several restaurants, although we ended up eating at home every day - we'll try them next time!The cabin was a perfect set up for ou party of two families (two adult couples and two kids). The adults stayed in the two bedrooms downstairs and the kids had the loft to themselves. In the evenings after the kids went to bed, us adults would sit out on the deck around the gas firepit and shoot the breeze.Thank you for a wonderful stay!
