A Free-Spirited Resort Town
Guerneville has long been a weekend getaway and summer vacation spot for San Franciscans since the 19th century and in recent years has also become a popular destination for the city’s gay and lesbian community. Today, this Central Sonoma County resort town continues to attract vacationers to its riverside location for free-spirited fun among the serene beauty of the surrounding redwoods. Although the largest town on the Russian River, Guerneville remains peaceful and down-to-earth.
