What reviewers say

Visitors praise The Woods Resort for its relaxing atmosphere, comfortable cabins, and enjoyable clothing-optional pool, noting it's a great place to meet people. However, a significant complaint is the confusing and restrictive pool access for hotel guests, with some reporting they were unable to use it despite booking specifically for that amenity.

About this place The Woods Hotel - Gay LGBTQ Cabins

The Woods Resort is a small resort in Guerneville, the Russian River town in Sonoma County that has been a gay getaway for decades. Rooms and cabins have free Wi-Fi, a microwave and coffee-making facilities, and the outdoor pool is where guests gather in summer. It markets itself as gay-friendly and draws a largely LGBTQ+ crowd. Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve is a short walk away, and Guerneville's Main Street bars and restaurants are a few minutes on foot. Summer weekends and Lazy Bear Week in July fill up early. Winters are wet and quiet, and the river area has flooded in some years, so check conditions.

I love The Woods Cottages and Pool. It's always relaxing and a chill vibe where you can meet great people and make new friends. The ocean is 20 minutes away for stunning drives up or down the coastline. Lots of fun activities to do within a few minutes walk. When Im enjoying the Cottages pool I like having the option to wear zero clothing. It's extremely liberating and a sexy experience to witness. Day passes are available for under $20 and $5 extra if you bring a furry friend 🐕 A favorite of mine is the play area in the back by the showers. One suggestion though is to cover those areas that are in direct sunlight with shade cloth a canopy or large umbrellas. When it's 90 + degrees outside, the sun ruins the fun and it's way to warm. The pool is an amazing Queer and LGBTQ+ Safe Space and Michael the Owner is a great guy as well as his attentive and kind staff. I will keep coming back year after year! I love this place and so will you. 😎🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I really enjoy it here. I haven't stayed, but I buy day passes to the pool. Ad if may 2025, the day pass is $18. It's really relaxing at the clothing-optional pool. The lounge chars and umbrella are in good condition and there are enough shady spots. Sometimes they will play music. Alcohol isn't sold here, but you're swlcime to go across the street to Safeway and buy non-glass containers to bring back to the pool. I really enjoyed that there was a shower in the back. I was able to shower away all the sunscreen and chlorine before I left back home.

Friendly off-season getaway. Cottages feature a comfortable bed, small gas fireplace, on-demand hot water. Good for a short vacation of hiking in the redwood forest or to the picturesque coast.
