About this property

Russian River Privacy In The Redwoods - Hot tub/Fire pit table/Decks/Relaxation!

Ideal for a romantic getaway near the river, a weekend in wine country with friends, or some quality time in the redwoods with the family.

Peacefully secluded among the redwood trees, neighboring the exclusive Bohemian Grove, and just blocks from downtown Monte Rio and the Russian River is Bohemian GrOOve.

This property contains 2 separate units each with their own updated kitchen and bath.

** It will only be rented to one party at a time. A guest can enjoy only the main flat or take advantage of both during their stay (for an additional fee).

The main house is 2 bedrooms with a cozy living room and an updated kitchen and bathroom with a claw foot tub. There is a queen bed in one room, and a day bed in the other room that can be used as 2 twin beds or a full king. It sleeps 4.

Downstairs is a large studio with it's own functional kitchen and updated bath. There is also a semi-private additional office nook with a futon and a desk. Off the office nook is a private balcony sitting amongst the redwoods. It also sleeps 4. (please call for pricing)

(The main house can be rented separately or together with the lower flat, but guests at Bohemian GrOOve will enjoy private use of the whole property)

Enjoy preparing your own home cooked meals in the stocked kitchens, but there are also good options within walking distance for dining out.

Bartlett's market has many essentials and is just a few minutes away. On the weekends, Light Wave in Monte Rio has fabulous breakfast selections and freshly baked goodies. Also, close-by is, The Highland Dells, an excellent choice for German cuisine overlooking the river. The Village Inn also has a friendly staff, a well-stocked bar, and is river front. If you don’t mind driving a few miles, the town of Guerneville is only 5 miles away, Occidental is about 7 miles, and the Pacific Ocean is only 10 miles from the home; All have excellent choices for dining out.

Enjoy the days lounging/boating at the Russian River (Monte Rio beach is just blocks away) and in the evening enjoy soaking in the hot tub under the redwood shaded stars. Day trips are easy to Bodega Bay, hikes in Armstrong Woods, the Ocean, or boating on Lake Sonoma. The Northwood Golf course is also very close and is open to the public.

For wine enthusiasts, the closest winery is less than 10 miles away (or champagne at Korbel). Just a bit further is the turnoff to Westside/Dry Creek Road, a beautiful, winding country road with picturesque vineyards following the river up into Healdsburg. Your world-class wine tour awaits!

Bohemian GrOOve is equipped with cable TV and WIFI. Sit on the deck and enjoy the redwood view, sit around the fire pit table with wine and good conversation, or light up the BBQ for dinner. We invite you to Bohemian GrOOve for a memorable Russian River getaway!

Pets: Your well-behaved (and housebroken) dog is allowed. Please keep dogs off the furniture and make sure they are attended at all times.

The home was incredibly lovely and had everything we needed. We loved being surrounded by redwoods and the peacefulness. The hot tub was wonderful and we appreciated all the cooking appliances, including the milk frother for homemade lattes.Sarah’s communication was quick.We would recommend arriving during the day, especially if there is rain, as the last short part of the road up is typically windy.

Beautiful and Peaceful

Russian River Privacy is a great description of this property. We wanted to be truly among the Redwoods and we were! The owners provided very clear instructions about checking in and accessing the property and we appreciated their prompt responses to our questions. The only challenge was the very narrow road leading to the house, but we were given clear information about this in advance and knew to just take it slow. I would stay at Russian River Privacy again if I make a return visit to the area.

Cabin under Redwood canopy

This property was perfect for our stay. Cabin is located on a rather steep hillside under a canopy of tall redwood trees that presents offers plenty of tranquility. The road to get to the property runs along the hillside and is very narrow in some parts. Arriving during the day time is the safest way. The cabin itself is a bit on the quant side but offers all the comforts of home. Kitchen is fully stocked with updated appliances. The deck outside is perfect for relaxing with the fire pit, and cooking on the bbq worked well also. Hot tub was also clutch after some long hikes during the day. Overall.....nice place

Cliff side Terrance privacy

Could not get the hot tub above 100F and it took a while to get there. The on demand hot water for the cottage set at lukewarm. The final full-day there was no hot water in the cottage. Everthing is controlled by Bluetooth remotely, there has to be a better value for you vacation dollar. Took the owner a day to get back at me🙃😴

Misleading and treacherous

The description of this place is misleading and I would even say deceitful. The place is more like a shack that feels like it is sliding off the hillside. It is up a narrow one lane very treacherous road that is barely paved with mostly ruts. If you have a regular car, it will bottom out. There is only room for 1 car and if you meet another car, good luck. It is not “blocks” from the river or downtown, it is a treacherous drive. It says 2 bedrooms, sleeps six. The main house, which is what is advertised, DOES NOT sleep 6 people. There is a queen bed and a full size daybed. Again, deceitful. It could sleep 3 people at most. They told us that since we are 2 couples, we would be more comfortable having the downstairs unit that they would rent it to us for an additional $50 which seemed like a deal at the time. Walking into the “main house” you are met with a pungent smell that lingers and never goes away. The kitchen does have a new stove and microwave, but is not what I call updated. Everything else seems like it is falling apart. Even the laminated surface on the cabinets is peeling off. We chose the downstairs. It is a dump. The shower looks like the owner might have decided to do it themselves while the bathroom itself is not updated and looks haggard, same with the kitchen. If you look closely, you can see that the supporting ceiling beams downstairs has visible termite damage and when you touch it, dust from the termites just pours through. This can not be safe.

Magnificent location, if a bit "rough and ready"

We really enjoyed the cabin. It is magnificently situated on a very steep downslope in the middle of redwoods. As others noted, you can either park on the downhill side (requires about 90 steps climb to the cabin) or you can drive along a narrow mountain path with steep drop-off on one side and steep hill on the other, with about 12 steep steps down to the cabin. Definitely not a place to bring your 90 year old mother. But safe for kids and dogs, I think. As others noted, heaven knows what we would do if we crossed paths with someone on the high road, I guess we would have to do some tricky reverse driving. But we came in and out a few times and didn't cross paths with anyone. The cabin has everything needed, the kitchen, while small, is very well outfitted with what is needed for preparing decent meals. The hot tub was amazing. This cabin is definitely on the "rough and ready" side though, the master bedroom is nice but the second bedroom is small. Heating could be an issue because the main room has the main heater supply and the bedrooms could be chilly. But we thought it was ok. We also noted that some of the electric outlets didn't work but once we sorted out which were on and which were off, we were fine. Shower curtain would be improved if it would be a lot less stiff, it doesn't lay well around the bathtub/shower. One hitch was that when we arrived we noted that there was not much propane, there are 5 tanks but only one of them had any and it was half-empty. There are a few nice toys that take propane, like the BBQ and the fire-pit table The owner apologized profusely and offered to reimburse us if we went down to the town to pick up more, which would not have bothered me but I guess some guests would be annoyed. As it turned out we managed with what we had. Overall, pleased with the place. If you come here you should have a healthy sense of adventure, though.

Cozy, clean, had issues

Me and my two girlfriends from college wanted a cozy getaway in the woods to cook, talk and take in the trees and rain. This cute place in the trees fit that order, but not without its issues. When we arrived the unit heater was on to heat the living room. We quickly turned on the two available space heaters for the back headroom and bathroom which were very cold. All outlets were out. No heaters, no lamps. Flipped the outlet switches. After three attempts they came on,…but the stove went out. Flipped the kitchen switches, no stove for the night. We made do cooking in batches in the toaster over — no big deal. By the night the cabin was cozy and warm. Day 2 the stove came on completely on its own and we had a great second night. My third friend slept on the sofa because the twin/trundle wouldn’t pull out and left no room to move. Overall, even with these issues we enjoyed this cute treehouse cabin. It’s just priced too high considering we had to make do on key amenities.

This is a lovely, little house in a very quiet area of Monte Rio. The directions were helpful and Sarah was very responsive when we had a glitch at check-in. Our family was grateful for the peace and quiet of being apart from other houses, and the relaxation of the hottub under the stars!

Groovy Bohemian GrOOve

This property was very clean, convenient and cozy with a lot of assets and is well stocked for vacation cooking. It would be ideal for two couples or two to four singles.. It is beautifully nestled in the redwoods in a quiet neighborhood above Monte Rio. The directions to the property sent by the owner were very helpful, and do arrive during daylight if at all possible. The picture is accurate and taken from the road. The owners were very clear that this is not a facility for people who cannot navigate stairs.

Bohemian Grooving

Great property but not for those who fear heights because of the road. However, there is a parking spot on street below if one is fit enough to climb the steep stairs. Hot tub amazing in the trees! Quiet and felt like I was in my own private mini-estate. The owner was a fabulous communicator and got back to me almost immediately.
