Clare was helpful and very flexible. The house was beautiful and clean. The instructions were clear. The location was great (short walk to town). I would give an extra star (total of 6) if I could because the hot tub was in excellent condition (not always the case in our experience)

Hidden gem for groups and pets
Clare is a gracious host who offers an amazing home for people and pets! We were pleasantly suprised at the accomadations during our holiday get away and it was truly refreshing to find an offering where we could bring our 2 large dogs in such a nice home, lots of care and love has gone into maintaining this property. The location is great as its located on a quiet street yet its just a short walk to town where you can find some wonderful restaurants and shops. You are also just a short scenic drive to many wineries which we particularly loved. We would highly recomend this hos and home and will hopefully be planning trips in the future!

Fantastic in Guerneville
This is one of the best rental accommodations our annual cycling group of 6 have stayed in. Everything was pretty much perfect: clean, well-kept; extremely well equipped and provisioned, great location and reasonably priced. We would all recommend it to others, and plan to stay annually from now on (we've been searching each year for a "keeper" in this area and have not had any luck until now). One constructive criticism: I think Clare's instructions are just a little too granular. There's a lot to read in the manual, and if you aren't a bunch of lawyers, as we are, you'd probably give up for the details. There's a nice little adage in our line of work: too much information is little different from not enough information -- neither get you to the result you want. We'd recommend some editing. But that's us being nitpicky!

Annual girls weekend
This property is lovely and well cared for. It’s very roomy and the hot tub was in excellent condition and a real bonus! We enjoyed sitting on the patio overlooking the woods. Some minor maintenance issues needing repair but overall a beautiful home in a lovely setting. Clare was very communicative and thorough. The nice gift bottle of wine was very thoughtful! We would stay again for sure.

Good for families, great location
The house and privacy of the property was great. The bed set up is hard to assess from the online description. Here is my break down. 1st floor One bedroom with a queen bed 2nd room two twin beds that are daybed/trundles 2nd floor One king bed with a daybed and a couch Down a short the hall separated by a curtain One small room with a daybed/trundle bed. You can hear noises ie snoring, convos… between these two sleeping areas. There were 5 of us, all adults, only one couple. We all got private space but the equality of the rooms was far from equal. We are all close but it certainly wasn’t perfect if we weren’t. However, for a weekend on the river it was great. Plenty of parking, grilling option, social space, 2 full bathrooms. Plenty of towels and blankets. The owner was very kind and responsive.

About the host

Hosted by clare hendrick

Host profile image
I started out with a friend looking for a B&B. As the story goes she got up early one morning and after listening to all the woes from the owner she said 'No Way' --'This is as hard as our regular job.' We are both nurses. I was too afraid to go it alone-- So we thought how about the B (bed) with out the B(breakfast) and that lead me to a vacation home. She eventually bought one too not very far from mine. I never heard of the Russian River except for a Chardonnay I always liked. When I was shown around the area I fell in love with the Giant Redwood trees and the Ocean Breeze and thought what a great location being close to the wineries of course but also the coast and enjoying the river. When I saw this home I had a picture in my mind of grape vines going up the long drive and Vista Serena seemed like the perfect name to gather family and friends for fun and relaxation. The 10 year old vines were planted in 2007. I am learning about pruning. Table Grapes made sense so we can all enjoy them immediately. I hope you come share my beautiful Vista and make wonderful memories to last a long long time.

Why they chose this property

My family love it here. The Russian River is a wonderful escape and change of life style. I love being able to walk to town and restaurants and shoppes. The crisp air and breeze spreads a clean scent of redwood trees to the whole area.
Of course all the wineries are great but so is golf, hiking and boating/swimming in the river. There are many choices and fun things to do each day. There are so many small towns surrounding Guerneville. Each unique to themselves.
The California Coast in this area is beautiful. From Bodega Bay to Mendocino has unbelievable views as you drive the coast. Great restaurants overlooking the water in Jenner just 12 miles away.
Some days I just sit on the deck and walk among the grape vines and Just Chill Out
