Rocktop Lodge - Pool, Sauna, Hot Tub, Private Dock

Rocktop Lodge is a beautifully unique and authentic river getaway, with an enchanting mix of historic finishes. The outdoor spaces are loaded with amenities – pool, 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 and R.

The interior of Rocktop Lodge is located on three levels. The top level is the entry level and the main living areas, kitchen, dining, plus two bedrooms and two full bathrooms.

The living room is expansive, and furnished for gathering together, with a bar, poker table, large sectional and a 60 inch TV. Gather with friends here, or retreat to the adjacent parlor and curl up on a sofa with a book or to watch the 54 in TV.

The well-equipped kitchen features a professional-grade double refrigerator, two ovens, and a gas range. Use the milkshake maker to create summer treats for your group. There is ample space for 8 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 or river - conditions permitting. Enjoy cornhole, ping-pong, or horseshoes, or just sit around the gas firepit and catch up with loved ones. Magical.

Just steps from the pool and hot tub, the newly built wellness area is your private retreat for hot-cold contrast therapy — sweat it out in the sauna, shock with under the cold plunge bucket, and rinse off in the outdoor shower, all with a bathroom close at hand.
