4-star hotels in Guerneville
This shortlist gathers the 4-star stays in Guerneville, from a spa inn and a riverside lodge to cabins and vacation homes with hot tubs. It is for travellers who want a wine-country base on the Russian River with more space and comfort than a motel.
Staying in Guerneville
Guerneville sits on the Russian River in Sonoma wine country, a small town where redwoods meet the water and the surrounding hills are planted with vineyards. Visitors come for river floats, wine tasting and quiet forested days, and the town itself keeps things low-key.
The 4-star stays here are spread along the river corridor and the town's side streets: Applewood Inn and Spa and The Stavrand Russian River Valley sit on Highway 116, Mine and Farm on River Road, and the cabins and homes on Lovers Ln, Mclane St, 4Th Street, Riverlands, Ridgecrest Rd., Summit Avenue and Orchard Avenue. That mix suits couples after a spa or hot tub, families and groups wanting a kitchen and yard, dog owners, and anyone on a short break who would rather have a house than a room.
