Sanctuaire ~ Private Garden Retreat in Monte Rio

Sanctuaire is a private garden oasis, tucked away in a sunny riverfront neighborhood. The fully enclosed yard, great for dogs and kids, is beautifully landscaped and is equipped with outdoor dining, gas grill, sauna and hot tub. Enjoy relaxing indoors and out, or walk to the river and the town of Monte Rio, less than a mile away.

The interiors are comfortable, clean and modern. The main cabin sleeps 4 people, with two bedrooms (one with a connected bathroom), a second bathroom, and an open living space complete with dining area, full kitchen, woodstove and living rooms with television.

The studio (no bathroom), with rich wood interiors and views of the garden, sleeps 2 more people on the twin daybed with twin trundle. The sauna is also located in the studio.

Rustic Modern

We would've given 5 stars and understanding that we're still in winter, but the garden looked way better in the pictures. That aside we had a wonderful time and loved the little town, a lot!

Great Stay in Monte Rio

We had a great time in Monte Rio. This house is in a great location, is well appointed and very comfortable. We loved that it had a sauna and hot tub. We also loved the backyard; very private and nicely landscaped. I highly recommend it!

Sanctuarie in Monte Rio

Lovely spot near the river. The house was small but has a lovely garden just perfect for enjoying a sunny morning. We didn’t take advantage of the hot tub or sauna - maybe next time!

Nice quaint house

The house was great nice layout, but the back deck is very slimy and I fell and I had to go to the ER and I’m still on pain meds.

Great Cottage, great location, lots of amenities!

We had a great time staying in this charming cottage. It was a perfect starting point to head to the ocean—Bodega Bay and Jenner as well as local hiking trails through the Redwoods. The kitchen was well stock with dishes, pots/pans, etc. There was even a crock pot! We took advantage of bbq grill a couple of evening. We all enjoyed the sauna. The enclosed yard provided a safe environment for our dog. The property management team was fabulous with fast responses to all of our questions and needs. We highly recommend this rental.

Could be a gem…but

Unmatched dishes, one teaspoon, every surface and cupboards filled with glassware ( enough for a small commercial bar), multiple utensils but all in terrible condition (including pots and pans). Bathroom and closets stuffed with towels, blankets, miscellaneous junk, no hangars ( but no room for a single guest item). Exterior maintenance marginal with little yard work and a broken gate. If you like leaving your belongings on the floor or in the living room… this place is for you. Single handle faucets made control of water temp very difficult and the hot water was dangerously hot.
