Clearheart Grove - Guerneville Dog-Friendly Redwood Cabin with Hot Tub & Fireplace

Wake to redwood light filtering across the deck of this dog-friendly cabin, a 3-minute walk from the neighborhood beach on the Russian River and 0.6 miles from downtown Guerneville. Soak in the private hot tub under the canopy, then warm up by the wood-burning fireplace inside. Two bedrooms and a twin sleep up to 5 in original clear-heart redwood rooms.

Spend mornings walking three minutes to the neighborhood beach on the Russian River, afternoons tasting at nearby Guerneville wineries or wandering downtown 0.6 miles away, and evenings on the deck as the redwoods catch the last of the light.

Settle into wicker and upholstered chairs around the brick wood-burning fireplace, where original clear-heart redwood walls meet exposed beams overhead and a collection of Russian River postcards from the early 1900s lines the built-in shelves. Linger over dinner in the dining room, where two banks of windows open straight into the redwood grove and the home sits in a sunlit clearing that pulls light through most of the day. Cook on the classic Wedgewood stove in a period-perfect kitchen with checkered linoleum underfoot, plenty of counter space for prepping a Sonoma-sourced dinner, and a microwave and oven for the easy nights. Cooling here is cross-breezes and open windows only -- no central AC.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Step onto the huge wraparound deck built around the redwoods themselves, with string lights overhead, a weathered dining table for alfresco meals, and a gas grill at the ready. Slip into the private hot tub on its own platform, screened by privacy fencing and forest greenery, with a converted antique bathtub-and-water-pump fountain nearby providing the soft sound of running water.

Good to know: the home sits back two lots from Hwy 116, but some road noise carries through. The Russian River area also has narrow, winding roads and homes with stairs -- reach out before booking if either is a concern.

• While the cabin sits two lots back from Highway 116, you may detect some road noise — it's the trade-off for being close to everything.
• The home stays naturally cool thanks to the redwood shade and doesn't have AC, though you'll find it's rarely needed under the forest canopy.
• The vintage Wedgewood stove works beautifully but may take a moment to figure out — light the pilot first, then turn the knob.
• The primary renter must be 21 or older.
• The Russian River area has narrow, winding roads that are part of its charm — take your time and enjoy the drive through the trees.
