'A favorite spot for San Franciscans' -San Francisco Chronicle, May 23rd, 1998 The Rio Inn is located one hours drive North of San Franciscos Golden Gate Bridge. Over 100 wineries, featuring some of California's outstanding vintages, lie within 30 minutes drive. The Russian River, which flows past the Rio Inn, has been a favorite resort area for over one hundred years; the Inn was built to provide a resting place for travelers a century ago. The Rio Inn features traditional Tudor architecture and old world grace and charm. Each room is lovingly and individually furnished with antique furniture and traditional decor. Nestled in a grove of ancient redwood trees, it is within a lazy half-hours drive of the Pacific Ocean.
