 The Woods The Woods Resort is the perfect answer for a relaxing, rejuvenating and (perhaps) slightly "spirited" escape to the Russian River.

Special weekends feature jazz, wine, women, leather and bears.

Guerneville is the focus of the area’s gay nightlife – one of the few resort towns in the country where you can proudly walk down Main Street day or night.

Whether visiting for a weekend, a week or longer, you won’t find any other getaway that matches the Russian River’s unique and spectacular natural beauty, combined with friendly businesses and residents who genuinely appreciate diversity.

Come out to the River and see why so many people return year after year.
