About this cabin rental
Welcome to The Grove, a world of privacy, with redwood-covered ridgetops above and redwood forests below. Perched on a hill above the Russian River, The Grove is an amenity-loaded haven for your Sonoma County stay.
Is BBQing your thing? The Grove has a lovely back deck equipped with a large gas grill, outdoor dining table, bistro seating, wine barrel gas fire pit, all arranged to maximize the redwood and partial river views. Or, do you want to watch the big game? The home theatre system, with 120 inch projector screen and surround sound, is great for watching sports and movies. Looking forward to a soak in the Hot Tub? Climb into the secluded spa and look up and you will see how The Grove got its name: you are surrounded by a fairy ring of towering 175 foot redwood trees that lead your gaze to the stars.
Is Gourmet Coffee your passion? Treat yourself to a European style espresso with a Nespresso pod, a cup of French Press drip or Pour Over freshly ground beans. Looking to explore? Both the Russian River and the town of Monte Rio are within walking distance. The Sonoma Coast, numerous Russian River Valley wineries and the neighboring towns of Guerneville, Duncan's Mills and Occidental are all a short drive away.
The Grove is a delightful property with two levels of ample living space, perfect for groups that want a little space to spread out.
Upper Level (entry level): The entry level has the main kitchen, living and dining room, two bedrooms, one bathroom, and the main deck. The kitchen is well equipped and well-stocked with everything needed to cook. The living/dining room has a comfortable sofa and chairs and the dining table seats 6. Sets of French doors lead out to the deck. The upstairs master bedroom has a queen bed and en suite bath with shower (the only upstairs bathroom). The second bedroom has a queen bed and charming French doors that lead to the side deck - the perfect place for a morning cup of coffee.
Lower Level: The lower level has a living area, kitchenette (no stove), deck, bedroom and bathroom. The lower living area has cable TV and a double sleeper sofa. The large bedroom has a king bed. The downstairs bathroom is lovely, with both a walk-in shower and a soaking tub.

This was our family of six’s (dad, mom, 3 teens and a pup) first experience staying in a vacation home. Boy did you all set the bar high.
LOCATION: TREE-mendous spot perched perfectly amongst the redwoods, and I do mean amongst! Yes the drive on a one lane road
that carries two way traffic was a bit hairy the first time (I recommend getting here with daylight to spare); however, it just became a fun adventure after the first drive. We were in a minivan, and after I saw a UPS truck squeeze by, I thought, “If he can do it, so can I.”. Just remember your driver’s ed class; cars going downhill have the right of way.
Be aware that there’s lots of stairs from the parking spot and in the house. I’m 55 with a back that feels 88, but I was still fine.
HOME: Trees envelop you as you sit on one the deck(s) or relax in the jacuzzi. It is quiet and peaceful. The owners thought of EVERYTHING. If you have it in your home, it’s here too. Directions and notes on how things work are everywhere. The binders of information are really helpful.. The pictures don’t do the property justice. The beds were too soft, but that’s a “me” problem.
SERVICE: We had a small inconsequential issue which required attention. This being our first experience in a vacation home, I didn’t think it would be quick. I was wrong. A couple of texts and a phone call later, issue addressed! Great customer service..
I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful home. I would absolutely stay here again.

The house is very nice but located on a very narrow street with difficult parking. We had two larger cars. Parking is a narrow platform and turning radius was a challenge to say the least. The property description should include this information. We would not have stayed here if we had known. Nothing wrong with the house, just would have appreciated knowing about the parking challenge in advance since we had two vans. Also, the beds were a bit too soft.

We loved this house in the trees it was so tranquil.
It was layed out so 2 small familys could share
this home 1 upstairs 1 downstairs.The beds were very comfortable the kitchen was well stocked.
The theatre size
viewing screen was a delight for a movie evening.
We used the bq on the the deck for quick dinners and roasted marshmallows for s'mores over the firepit.
We enjoyed many excellant nearby wineries, tryed river floatubing remember to bring your own tubes or rent some.Monte Rio beach was our go to beach with free parking and dogs allowed.
We made some lasting memories with our family here in the Grove house in the trees we will be back.

My family of 4 came here for spring break and wow! The house is more beautiful in person. The details to the decor were amazing. The furniture pieces including beds were comfortable. Hot tub was perfect temperature when we arrived too. The individual heaters in every room were great since we came during a week when it was cooler and the house warms up nicely. The two decks are beautiful and perfect for outdoors when it’s warmer. The narrow windy road leading to the house is a bit daunting but so long as you drive during the day it’s good. Follow the directions to the house provided by the manager for sure! I had to use the vacuum and only thing there is that is a non pleasant smell comes out from it. Maybe it’s the vacuum bag? The house was well stocked with cleaning and bathroom supplies too. The downstairs area with second kitchenette was super cute. We didn’t use it but I enjoyed looking at how it was decorated. Communication with the property manager was efficient and prompt. She was super friendly. We would totally love to stay here again. Its proximity to the beach and other landmarks is perfect.

This home is likely to be remembered as one of the best ofs in our vacation rentals. I generally like to spend most of my time exploring but I was content to hang around this home enjoying its outdoor deck in the treetops, the hot tub, and the very enjoyable home theater. Traveled with our adult children and having two floors gave us plenty of room to sprawl out. The three bedrooms were all nicely appointed, as was the home overall. Loved the decor throughout and the high level of thoughtfulness for guests. I’ve truly NEVER been in a rental that considered so large a range of guest needs and provided such detailed instructions to make you feel at home. Whatever eventuality could have happened, I felt like I could just open the guest book & find where to find what I needed or where to go to get it. When I searched the first aid kit for a bandaid, I was so impressed to see it stocked with all the basics plus things like activated charcoal, pepto pills and allergy meds. the kinds of things you never find except in the bottom of a Mom tote. Really appreciated the thoughtfulness when I had some tummy rumbles one day. The whole house is that way: I kept expecting to not find something I needed but they have thought of it all. They even provide accessories for dog guests.
The beds were super comfortable with high quality bedcoverings. The two kitchens have all you need (basic spices) to make great meals. Loved the coffee making options.
Lots of games and puzzles; musical instruments to play.
The decks are wonderful places to just relax. Loved watching leaves drop and spin down to the ground.
There were only two things that I were less than perfect. 1) my son went to bed and was greeted by a dead bug on the duvet. We also found that some of the hand towels had makeup stains that were not evident until unfolded. We thought the towels were left dirty so we washed them & the stains remained so I am going to guess they were just stained but housekeeping should know that a guest has no way to know that. It just looks like someone hung up dirty towels. 2) the one way road is a bit daunting to navigate, especially in a larger car/SUV, but worse is the parking. You WILL LIKELY scrape the *^# out of your car if you don’t have the clearance. The parking deck entry is VERY oddly dipped. Adding a pic w/a parked sedan would help make the point of how this affects many normal cars. My SUV was fine. My son’s Lexus badly scraped its fender and underbody.

We loved our stay here. The layout for our two families was perfect with two levels of living space. The early risers were able to use the space in the lower level without waking others. The views were incredible. The sports fans in the group loved the large screen television too. The attention to deals was wonderful, even the light switches were labeled. The owners provided a wonderful binder of local information that we used frequently. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were beautiful. We would stay again!

The Grove is a great getaway nestled between towering redwoods. You'll want to spend most of your time on one of 2 decks--bbq'ing, eating, staring into the trees, but other options for passing time include the outdoor jacuzzi and GIANT projection screen in the living room. And you're close to Monte Rio river access. Everything you might possibly need has been thoughtfully provided, from games to 5+ ways of making coffee to twinkly lights that come on at dusk. The 2 levels of the house (each with bathroom, lounge area, deck, coffee makers) are good for people who rise at different times or just want to be able to get a little separation. The beds are comfortable, with good linens.
The cons: A winding 1-lane road for the last 5 min so arrive before dark. Steep staircase down from the road will be difficult for anyone with mobility issues or carrying heavy loads. Distant traffic noise is surprisingly audible from the decks.

Perfect Getaway
Booked this property for a change of scenery. Lovely spot to hang out and do day trips wine tasting or the ocean. We also enjoyed the projector screen for a family movie night. Great experience.

Gorgeous Property
Stayed here with my wife for her b-day and found property to be spacious and gorgeously nestled among the redwoods on the Monte Rio hillside. Hot tub was clean and private and decks were great for relaxing in morning and afternoons. We enjoyed wood burning fire place and big screen projector in living room. Wluld definely stay again. I will say that road to property and parking is not suited for sports cars. I have a Porsche and I scraped underbody on road to property and could not make the parking spaces work without damaging my car.

We had a simply wonderful time staying at the Grove. The accommodations were even better than I had expected! My family and I really enjoyed our stay and we all felt very comfortable and welcome. It is located very close to the river front. Totally worth the very reasonable price. Thanks for the very special memories.

Location, layout and amenities of the house is great. Until you get the hang of the narrow and winding roads leading to the house is a bit challenging and recommend your first arrival is during daylight. Lots to do in all of the towns in this vacinity. Suggestion: I am assuming there were a few weeks since the previous renters as we found upon arrival many dead flies, cob webs and dust in the house and large debree on the steps leading into the house. Found cigarette butts in the ashtrays outside too. Perhaps you could consider someone doing a spotcheck before guests arrive at 4 pm. We did enjoy ourselves. Thank you for this opportunity to share ideas for improvement.

Lovely stay, absolutely magical
I visited The Grove in March for an extended weekend getaway with friends and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was everything we could have hoped for and more - the photos don't even do the place justice. The home was comfortable and cozy, while still being spacious and well-equipped with all of the comforts of home. The auto-timed tealight candles upon arrival were such a nice touch. Love the musical instruments, board games, and television for the rainy Saturday we had during our stay. The house binder was also very helpful. It was detailed and answered any questions we had about the house. The area is absolutely stunning. Just magical. I would definitely love to return again in the future.

Wonderful home. Perfect place for a getaway. The Grive has everything you need for a great vacation
We stayed at The Grove with our whole family (four legged and two) and it was fantastic. The house has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The beds are fantastic., We all slept so wonderful! The spa is in the most beautiful setting and there are so many beautiful places to sit and read and enjoy the trees. The Grove is close to the river where we took our dogs to play. Overall our stay at The Grove was a 10 and we would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful home nestled in the trees with lovely personal touches
We had such a wonderful, relaxing 9-night getaway at The Grove. The setting is gorgeous and serene, with the house surrounded by redwood trees and even a view down to the river. The house was lovely and very well appointed - and so organized! The beds and furniture were really comfortable, and we loved the nice decorative touches. It felt very homey yet updated, and the owners did a really nice job of having things like games, musical instruments, a great entertainment set-up, and nice amenities for our dog. The management company was a pleasure to work with, and very responsive. We will definitely be going back!

AMAZING...
We absolutely loved the house, the amenities and the view! It was a great place to relax and unwind. The house was exactly as shown in the pictures. We have no regrets and wanted to stay longer.
The only recommendation we have is for guests to arrive before dark as it is difficult to find if you are not familiar with the area.

VERY NICE!
The Grove is a very fitting name for this amazing home. Home is very nicely maintained and very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed this weekend get away. Very easy to relax and unwind in this home.
