Clearheart Grove

If you long for the river of yesteryear, you will love Clearheart Grove, a beautifully pristine cabin with all of its original clear heart redwood interior preserved. Set in a grove of redwoods, it's surrounded by decks and porches, and still bathed in sunlight much of the day. Best of all, the neighborhood beach is about a 3-minute walk!

The furnishings are a lovely mix of comfortable contemporary and beautiful antiques, both of which work well with the rich redwood walls and expansive windows. A special feature of Clearheart Grove is the Russian River postcard collection, some of which date from the early 1900s. There are many such examples of interesting memorabilia throughout the house.

The dining room has two banks of windows looking out at the yard and redwoods and has a rich, warm ambiance that's perfect for a romantic evening or a nice family dinner. The kitchen is a period masterpiece in addition to being a great place to cook! With lots of counter space and a classic Wedgewood stove, it's a fabulous place to whip up something to go with the wine of the day.

There's a huge deck outside the dining and kitchen areas, perfect for dining alfresco. The deck is surrounded by redwoods, yet the house is in a clearing so there is sun most of the day. The deck is furnished with a comfy patio set and a gas BBQ. The hot tub is nestled under the redwoods with a bit of privacy fencing for extra comfort. The antique bathtub and water pump have been converted into a modern-day fountain, to provide the relaxing sound of water when you are enjoying the outdoors.

Cozy cabin
It was perfect for a little girls trip with my Sister and Aunt. Clean albeit a little dusty, but was a perfect find for the weekend! Next time would be sure to ask how to walk to the river from the cabin, couldn't find the path.

Cute, cozy cabin
Went for a romantic getaway. Cabin is cute and cozy but the living room rug and bath mat need to be replaced and the hot tub was over chlorinated. Right next to the main road so not quite as secluded as we hoped. Loved the fireplace, record player/stereo. Good place to unplug and enjoy each other’s company. Overall a good stay.

Amazing vintage property!
Super quaint cottage in the redwoods. The cabin is smaller than I had imagined, but had everything you need! We loved the old world charm-felt like we were at grandpa's hunting cabin! Hot tub was perfect and pretty private. Kitchen well stocked. Really appreciated the record player and VHS tapes, took us back to simpler times. The cabin has a large yard perfect for dogs to roam and play catch. Highway noise was fairly loud and access to beach was further than described-needed to walk on highway for a block to reach the public river access, but once there was very happy with the sandy beach and swim spot. Would return in a heartbeat!

Rustic wooded cabin evokes summer vacation in Guerneville's earlier heyday
We live in an SF cabin, built of redwood in the months after the 1906 quake, and this place felt very much like a summer vacation version of home, even though we were traveling in February! We adore the dark, wood-hewn interior, and can easily imagine what a lovely shaded respite this would provide, from the summer heat. The hot tub is terrifically situated in a grove of redwoods that can be dramatically uplit, of desired. Close to town and to main thoroughfare, while still feeling remote. We could imagine returning regularly.

Quaint and Sweet
Many wonderful things about this cottage: great location as described; hot tub is almost fully private and nestled in under tall redwoods; hot water works very well with great water pressure; central heating and a/c; cable TV and remote work really well; lovely historic photos of the area all around the cabin; the place has an authentic historic feel (smallish rooms and small bathroom); lovely deck with lights; great parking for one car; property mgr is very responsive; lovely setting for ease of access to the river and Guerneville. Loved our stay!

Beware, this is not worthy of its 4 star rating
Dirty floors and WiFi that didn’t work There were trash under the butchers block and we had to wash some plates and pots before using them. The WiFi didn’t have connectivity and we repeatedly texted the team and it never got fixed. We ended up having to spend 20% of our vacation at the Starbucks to get our work done! What a terrible experience.

Another Wonderful Trip!
The yard is beautiful and perfect if you have a dog. The house is so cozy and comfy. They have lovely, antique furniture mixed with comfy, homey chairs and a couch. There are only 5 stairs to get in the house. Many rentals here have sooooo many stairs. We just had our 2nd trip and we’ll be back!

Perfect, quiet cabin retreat
This was a last minute vacation and I knew that it might be a challenge to find exactly what I was looking for. Well, luck was on my side when I stumbled across this sweet, cozy cabin nestled under beautiful redwoods. I wanted a quiet getaway, with fresh air and the opportunity to unplug from an otherwise busy schedule and I believe this cabin was just that. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything I needed to make myself a nice meal, but the cabin was only about a three minute drive into town with a Safeway that is open 24 hrs a day and plenty of great restaurants to dine at. Boon, The Oxbow and Main Street Bistro were all great! The cabin itself was rustic with plenty of windows to peer outside and admire the trees. I did need to call the property manager to acquire the combination for the lock on the hot tub, but it took no time at all and whoever I talked to was very friendly and even stayed on the phone with me while I tried the combination. The only part of the stay I was a little bummed about was that the advertisement stated it was a three minute walk to Russian River. I wandered up and down the block to find some sort of public river access, but was unable to find one. When driving into town I looked to see if there was river access beyond the block nearby, but still no luck. Although I didn’t get a chance to make it to the river, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and already want to plan to come back!

Perfect for Pooch
Great place for a vaca w/Fido. Fenced yard, room to romp, cautious wildlife for some excitement (raccoon stayed in trees but dog had a blast watching it). Nice tub, cozy fireplace and comfy beds. Nice outdoor grill, a quick drive to Guerneville for supplies. Good stay!

Lovely old cabin in the Redwoods
Nicely maintained and comfortable cabin with fenced yard nestled into old growth redwoods with spa, porch and bbq. No river access but about one mile to Johnson’s beach and a short drive to public beach in Monte Rio. It even has a horseshoe pit! Our King Charles spaniel felt right at home. Major items were clean but railings on porch had a heavy layer of dust and there were open chip containers under the dresser, which of course our pup found. :) Overall very quiet and relaxing stay. Will definitely consider returning.

Charming and relaxing
We very much enjoyed our stay. The cabin has vintage charm and the hot tub under the redwoods is amazing. It was quiet and clean, a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. Coffee and grilling dinner on the deck, followed by a dip in the hot tub made for a very nice getaway.

River vacation
Cabin is a vintage property that reminds me of the places I stayed at during the '60s and '70s. Cabin was comfortable with all the modern conveniences. Shady front porch and sunny back deck next to hot tub. Situated in a quiet neighborhood, close to downtown Guerneville and 1/2 hour away from Occidental and Jenner. Internet was inconsistent depending upon where on the property you were located. Many of the dishes, pots and pans , and chairs needed a good cleaning from lack of use. I would return to property in the future.

Cute, Cozy Cabin!
We wanted to enjoy a few days away from home in the forest. I searched for a cabin with a hot tub, wood burning fireplace, central heat, and wi-fi (for work). This cabin checked all the boxes! Close to town for coffee, treats, a meal out or supplies. Near the redwoods, the river and the ocean. The wi-fi worked for Zoom, TV has cable and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could ever need. The only items not provided were firewood and beach towels. If you're looking for a rustic cabin that has all the modern comforts you'd expect at home, this is the one! Vacasa also provided us with excellent customer service and I'd 100% recommend their property management service from a guest's perspective. Home was clean, well stocked with toiletries, hand sanitizer, toilet paper, etc. What a wonderful experience all around!
