Very private and secluded. Great views of the ocean, and a short walk from a beautiful seaside cliff

We were very much looking forward to our stay here on our road trip along highway 1, but were very disappointing! The cabin was not clean, despite the attempt that was made to clean it. It was dusty and generally unclean, to the point were we couldn't even stay the night. For the price plus cleaning fee this was a joke, when we found the wonderful Ocean Cove Lodge minutes away for cheaper! With thanks to airbnb we managed to get a partial refund despite a refusal from the host. If planning this journey, you'd do much better for accommodation by support the local very reasonable hotels. This is a stunning area and are very dissapointed that this place had to leave bitter taste.

Very nice clean cabin right next to pacific ocean.

The Well House was an amazing escape on coast. The property has tons of gorgeous views and spots to explore, the cabin was clean and well decorated - very cozy. Benjamin and Tennessee were excellent hosts and we hope to go back someday soon. Highly recommend!

Ben's place is amazing. I loved every minute of staying here. It's such a quiet, beautiful and remote area. It's the kind of place where you unplug (there's no service or wifi) and reconnect, recharge, etc. I brought a camp stove and cooked on the porch. Made a fire each evening and took in magic hour on the cliffs just a few steps away. Ben and Tennessee were welcoming. I felt super comfortable with the bathroom/kitchen arrangements and would book this place over and over again for Sonoma Coast escapes!

Amazing place! Arrived at sunset and watched it from the cliffs. The Well House was warm, cozy, and hippie-cute. (We expected a bathroom, but instead you use Benjamin's bathroom and kitchen in the main house. He was super nice and welcoming.) We went out at night to see the stars and moonshine on the ocean. Wow. Bring warm clothes and a lawn chair so you can sit at the cliffs and just gaze in amazement. We brought a cooler with our dinner and breakfast (stopped at the Petaluma Safeway on the way) and enjoyed eating on the front porch with visiting cats. There is a restaurant and little market nearby, but we didn't go there. There is NO cell reception or wifi, so unplug and treat yourself to a NorCal coast groovy retreat at Well-House.

If you're considering other options, consider having breakfast over a campfire where the cliffs meet the ocean. Spectacular. We brought our own firewood but Benjamin had plenty you might ask about! Loved the rustic cabin feel. It's cozy and though it was a chilly night, we had to tone the heater down. So no worries about the weather! Linens were comfy. This was a great experience. We had our morning tea on the edge of the cliffs watching the waves. Host gave plenty of privacy which gave us a more immersed experience. Benjamin was very friendly and helpful in communications about how to find the place. (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps will get the address wrong so his hints helped us find it at night. Great stay ~1hr from Point Reyes if you want to enjoy a scenic drive along the Northern California coast. Would definitely stay again!

Ben made our last minute reservation easy. The Well House was a nice, small room with some interesting things to look at. Our privacy was respected by his friend who greeted us warmly. The property is great for a night time bonfire. The restroom and shower are in the main house which is a close walk. This is a good place to stay if you want to be away from hustle and bustle and plan to keep things low maintenance.

It's a short walk down to the campsite but it's worth it seeing as how you can sleep listening to the ocean waves and enjoying the beauty. Having access 2 phone charging electricity was very helpful and the home had everything we needed. Thank you Benjamin.

This was a diamond in the rough. With the view we had it was such a steal! Such a beautiful drive and so close to such great sights. The campsite is further down the hill from the house so it takes a few trips to get all your stuff to the site. Totally worth it!

That is a unique and wonderful place! The real gem! We stayed with my husband for only one night in late October, but I wish I can get back there in summer. The place has everything you need - great spot for several tents, fire place. And the VIEWS! All the night you hear the ocean, breath the ocean. Also there are 2 very friendly cats, which came to our tent in the morning and stayed near the fire. They are very sociable (especially the white one)!

Absolutely gorgeous site. Benjamin's house was easy to find and a short drive from beautiful beaches and hiking. Would love to be able to stay again.

A beautiful spot perched high above the crashing waves below. Beautiful views from a campsite nestled among evergreen trees. Great fire pit. Would definitely visit again.

It was my second time to the property and it's my one of my favorites. Camping down by the cliffs is a wonderful experience and I'm already looking forward to going back. Thanks for hosting us!

Such a beautiful spot. Benjamin's friends welcomed us when we arrived to the campground, which was stunning and secluded and quiet. And het got back to us within a few hours when we made our last minute reservation. Thank you !!

Awesome view of coastline, great fire pit and nice cat! Thank you for sharing with us!

The Beardsley house is a beautiful property, situated right off of Highway 1. The house was very clean, spacious and very well stocked with kitchen supplies, which was perfect for our group since we mostly did our own cooking. There is a big yard, which we used for sports, and the hot tub was wonderful. The whole experience was great, and I would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting to spend time in that area.

We had a great time at the Beardsley House. The weather was beautiful during our stay so we took full advantage of the nearby beaches. Stump Beach was our favorite with a beautiful hike along the cliffs. We loved spending the evening in by the fire. No cell reception at the house but the wifi worked well enough.

Michael was a great host. Directions & info in house were great. He left complete instructions & restaurant and beaches in vicinity. We had a very peaceful and lovely stay. The house is unique, comfortable and easy! Thank you!

Close enough to SF for a quick weekend getaway and near many of our favorite coastal parks.

The host canceled this reservation 17 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The place was amazing, exactly what we were looking for for a nice weekend get away. Perfectly secluded with a couple convenient markets up the road. The perfect place to have a a few friends grill out and play lawn games all day and card games at night.

Tucked away from the road, the property feels like a land lost in the woods. Relaxing, peaceful, and unique, we felt our time was well spent at Timber Cove. The amenities were on point. Felt like we were valued and welcomed by the host. Given the opportunity, we would definitely return.

This house was a great rustic escape! The two closest restaurants are both delicious with amazing views. The user guide for the house was very complete and left little to chance. It was a little chilly, but if you light the second iron fireplace the house will heat up quite nicely. The scenery was breathtaking and I would definitely stay up here again. Just a note, it is a little further from the town of Jenner proper than I anticipated so I would definitely make sure you aren't nearly on empty like I was (doh!). I would recommend bringing a badminton set, board games, and maybe a few extra blankets or towels. Other than that everything you need is there, including a coffee maker! I highly recommend drinking your morning coffee in the hot tub while you look out onto the ocean peeking out of the majestic trees. There is also TONS of space in the living room, enough for your whole group to do yoga if you wanted!

A wonderful place filled with beauty all around and warmth and kindness :) we keep returning :)

What a wonderful stay. We spotted 5 whales during our visit! Lisa sent us directions ahead of time and then an email at check in time to wish us a good stay. The house feels wonderfully secluded even though it is in the middle of a row of houses. We did not see one other person while on the property. We hiked at gorgeous Salt Rock State Park and Goat Rock Beach. The hot tub view is divine. The kids loved playing in the yard and the large movie stash. We would love to return some day.

Great place with great view!

Fantastic location with amazing coastal views. Lisa was extremely accommodating, friendly, and professional. Crashing waves, roaring fire in the wood-burning stove, hot tubbing under the stars... what's not to like? Our family of four had a great get-away-from-it-all vacation.

Very secluded area. Perfect place to do nothing but relax and take in nature. Beach access is very close by. Lisa made the whole process very easy.

Pictures cannot capture the beauty of this spot. The scent of salt and pine, the sounds of the sea, the falling stars in a gorgeous night sky. House itself is well-equipped with all you need to have an enjoyable stay. Appreciated having a few amenities to get us started, like paper towels, shampoo, dish soap etc. Furnishings inside are comfortable-- but you'll likely spend most of the time outdoors on the deck, in the yard, or enjoying one of the beautiful natural attractions/beaches/hikes nearby.

Beautiful house and setting. Seamless trip from beginning to end, in a most desirable spot. Will be returning.

Vast and expansive ocean views were constant companions on our 3 day weekend getaway. Lisa's house is cozy, rustic and yet very spacious and light. The view from deck at night is simply breathtaking - I've never seen so many stars. Wish we could've also seen some whales. Lisa was a wonderful host, communicative and helpful with local area information. We'll definitely be back.

The Red Door B&B is a lovely, picturesque, peaceful retreat in a wooded area with a beautiful ocean view. Warren warmly welcomed us when we arrived, made himself available as needed for questions but with great respect for guests privacy. The house has ample room with extra bedding and towels for the master bedroom, 2 full baths and additional sleeping in sofa/trundle beds in the family room. Fresh baked bread awaited our arrival along with homemade jams, coffee, teas, fresh fruit and various other breakfast items. Interesting books and games were available for guest use. We enjoyed a glass of wine on the balcony off the family room while taking in the sights and sounds of nature at its best! Thanks for a great stay!

The Red Door B and B was a perfect getaway for my husband and I. It would also work quite well if you have kids as they have a hideaway couch. The view was very relaxing and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. Margaret and I had emailed prior to our arrival and I informed her I was gluten and dairy free and she made 2 loaves of fruit nut bread for me and had gluten free granola, goat yogurt, soy milk as well as juice and a bowl brimming with fruit. The location of the B&B was also quite ideal, as we were able to hike, cycle and walk along the beaches. Margaret and Warren were really lovely and made themselves available only when needed. We will definitely be returning.

When we heard about the gluten free fruit and nut bread that would be freshly baked just before we arrived, we already knew our stay with Warren and Margaret was going to be memorable. The apartment, which is attached to their home, is on a small private road right off route 1 and very near Timber Cove. It is quiet and peaceful, a true getaway from work and the city. We loved everything about the place, including the beds, the view of the ocean, the deck, all the breakfast foods, the jigsaw puzzles, the scrapbook, all the attention to details that make travel work perfectly. Warren is the quintessential host, friendly, interesting, and talented. We're hoping to plan another trip soon. I forgot to mention the scenery getting there and all the places to see and experience on this part of the coast.

My sister and I had a wonderful time at the Red Door B&B! It was a beautiful location and an adorable space. We were super impressed with the all of the breakfast items that were provided and were surprised by all of the different choices! It made mornings so much more relaxed for us. The delicious freshly baked bread upon our arrival was amazing. Thanks so much for sharing your space with us. We had a marvelous time!

Greeted warmly by Warren, he gave us a little tour of the place along with providing tips on places to eat and routes to take. So peaceful and quiet compared to city life. A treat for anyone wishing to get away!

Enjoyed our stay. Beautiful view and very comfortable place. Our host was delightful and very welcoming, and we appreciated the breakfast items! A relaxing place to stay in a beautiful northern coast location.

Beautiful setting for a quiet escape. Lovely breakfast!

Lovely home, great location between Jenner and Sea Ranch. Nice comfortable bed, soft linens and house coat. Items in fridge like Greek yogurt, home made jam, juice, butter, milk and cream. Kitchen well stocked with cooking implements. Friendly cats too.

We had a great stay at Blue Water Vista! The house was clean, well maintained, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The views from the house are fantastic and it's located just a few minutes away from a state park with beautiful beaches. There really aren't any restaurants nearby so we did a lot of cooking and appreciated that the kitchen was well-stocked. We stayed at the place with our daughter, another couple, and their toddler. It was great to have two bedrooms , both with attached bathrooms, on opposite ends of the house. Everyone had plenty of space to spread out and privacy if they wanted it. Fred was communicative and helpful when we contacted him with questions. We highly recommend this listing!

Awesome view, but didn't feel private due to being located right on highway 1 (noise from cars passing by, window facing the road with no curtains) and due to the house next door. The kitchen is nice, but the house itself is average and sparse in decor. I found the balcony to be uninviting due to the lack of privacy and the railing blocking the view. Awesome hikes and ocean views nearby if you want to get out of the house.

Stated location is not accurate, please give accurate location and address. Also in the posting, please state that beach access is not possible. Rate is too high for a comfortable yet relatively basic home with no beach access. Beds were comfortable, and the place is nice, and clean. Kitchen was well equipped. Living room was comfortable. You are just asking too much for what you are offering especially in September.

Best view ever! Comfortable house. Great cove setting. Would book again!

This was the 2nd time we stayed at Janet & Fred's place. As always, it is a beautiful location. At the entrance of Salt Point state park with loads of hiking, a 500 foot walk to a cute country store, almost across the street from some nice fish and chips on the patio of the Ocean Cove resort, a few miles from Timber Cove resort which has a great restaurant, not too far from Ft Ross winery, and you can also just stay home and take in the view of boaters, fisherman, and people climbing rocks in the cove as well as a ton of birds and tranquil ocean sounds. Wonderful kitchen to bring groceries to and cook nice meals. They have loads of games, DVDs, ladder toss game, and inspiring books about the meaning of life and Buddhism. Great grill for cooking. Two balconies. Always better than the pics show on Airbnb. It is a haul - 3 hours from the city but so worth it! Comfy beds, nice shower, heated floors, this place is the perfect getaway! Will be back for sure.

Beautiful experience. Good location to explore the coast. Excellent kitchen. Big common areas for relaxing. Sit up in bed and watch the ocean!

This place is amazing views, like seriously amazing. Has also an upgraded kitchen with all modern appliances. The beds were confortable and the master bedroom has a great shower! the house was delivered clean, and had everything we need. Highly recommend this place.

Wonderful house with great views and well equipped kitchen – just as the listing described. Janet and Fred were very easy to communicate with.

This is a darling beach house with views of the ocean, but not hanging over a cliff. Sweetly decorated and comfortable. We will definitely be making it our new beach location, we usually head to Mendocino county but this was better.

My husband and I, along with two of our friends, stayed at Russ' beautiful home for only two nights but loved every minute of it. The house was sweet and perfect for the four of us. Russ' home was impeccably clean and had every amenity we could have hoped for. His house is located just feet from a wildly beautiful bluff that overlooks the beautiful jagged coastline of Timber Cover. Our weekend was absolutely perfect. We will have to extend our stay next time. Thanks for everything, Russ.

We had an amazing time at Russ fantastic property. Our friends came in from Seattle & Michigan and we all grilled, went in the hot tub and hung out. Lots of fun and epic spot for hiking and relaxing.

Spent a wonderful weekend up along the coast while staying at Timber Cove House. The home was beautiful and right along the ocean. Having two grills and a great kitchen allowed us to make a great group dinner. While great for unplugging, the wifi wasn't entirely functional, so this home is really ideal for an escape.

Anthony was a great host, was very friendly and also showed us a local place to dive! Thanks again Anthony!

Nice secluded place!

Tony's house was perfect for our girls getaway on the coast! the beds are sooooo comfy and the house and property is beautiful ; we had zero cell reception (which we knew from the reviews so it was ok) but there is a landline which was good to know in case of emergencies. tony was so communicative and helpful - the pictures of this place don't do it justice. the hot tub during a sunset reminded us all why California is the most beautiful state.

Loved everything about this place, especially the location, hike to beach, and hot tub. Highly recommended and the pictures really don't do it justice like the other reviewers said.

I recently stayed with my family, including 8 month old child; this is a great spot to get away and spend a relaxing time on the coast. Like all places in Sonoma's coastline up Highway 1, this is a fairly remote location--which is exactly why you stay here. The sound of the ocean, the smell of the sea salt, the quiet of the evening... it's ideal for a relaxing spell away from the hum of a city and daily life. Just remember to stop before you get too far from civilization to pick up your groceries and north coast pinot of choice. Tony's place is great, he describes it well, and it has everything you would need for a basic comfortable stay. The master is bigger than you would think, the kitchen is better stocked/supplied than the average rental, and the hot tub overlooking water views... magical. I would certainly stay here again in the future, especially the next abalone season!

I stayed with friends and family at Tony's beautiful abode for one night, while we visited the California coast and we wish we could have stayed longer. The amenities we just at described and we used the jacuzzi and grill with a short walk and view of the beautiful coast line. Check-in/out was extremely easy and Tony was so nice to work with and prompt to respond. He even called to let us know we could check-in early, which we ended up taking advantage of. I'd definitely head back for another stay.

Amazing location and the sauna/hot tub combo was fantastic. Short walk down the driveway to an incredible ocean overlook. Tony is an attentive host, and the house comfortably fit the 6 of us. Make sure to save the key combo somewhere that doesn't require an internet connection before you arrive because as Tony says, there's no cell reception once you arrive. Can't wait to come back!

We spent the 4th of July weekend with friends at Anne's beautiful home. We could not have been more comfortable and pleased with our stay. The house is extremely well-appointed and stunning beyond belief. The setting is incredibly peaceful and could not recommend it enough for someone wanting to take in some of California's beautiful coastline. We hope to return soon and often.

I have visited over 30 countries, and yet I found this to be the best experience ever in terms of the breathtaking views from the house. The house is very comfortable with heating, wifi, and other expected amenities. The location is quiet. But the strongest draw is clearly the breathtaking view of the Pacific, and the "flower laden meadow" in front. Anne was very responsive and the information provided was very accurate. It was one of the best trips ever for both the adults and the kids.

The host canceled this reservation 37 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The place was so beautiful and it was so nice staying there for the weekend! Would definitely recommend!

Very nice home with an amazing view!

This is a great house; it is remote but the views are lovely and it provides easy access to the coast. Do your shopping before you arrive, it is at least a 30 minute drive to the store. We had some issues - the internet password had been changed and the written password was difficult to decipher - got there eventually. The water to one of the toilets had been turned off because it was broken (they did send a plumber the next day but he had to order a part so it never got fixed in the 6 days we were at the property). There were missing light bulbs and the circuit breaker in the bathroom had been tripped and we had to search for it in the dark on our first night! If you use the steps off the deck down to the lower level (not part of the rental) be careful not to get splinters from the railing. The cleaning could be improved. We still had a nice time there.

We had a fabulous time staying at Clark's Cove. The setting is stunning and the house was stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing few days. I just wish we could have stayed longer! We will be back for sure.

The view was just as pictured.

This location and home is magical. Just the ocean waves is already music that lulls you to sleep. The beautiful morning and evening sky's. The closeness to everything. The home is so accommodating and equipped. We cooked and cooked and it just felt like home.

- The view from and location of this house could not be better - absolutely gorgeous! - Living room was disappointingly uncomfortable - furnishings (office chairs) were in disrepair and there were no surfaces (coffee table/side tables) to speak of. - Bathrooms were not stocked with shower items so be sure to bring your own toiletries. - Were many more sleeping places than anticipated from the photos/description.

I did not stay here personally but sent my parents here for their 40th anniversary. They were not able to show up the first night because my mom was really sick but came for the last 3 days. They said they had an amazing time and it was hard for them to leave. They told us we had to rent this house sometime for ourselves. The pictures do make it appear like it's on the bluff overlooking the ocean and that's what I thought but it is actually set back farther than what the pictures show.

.

What a wonderful place to visit! Diane was the perfect host, covering all the bases for a getaway on the Sonoma Coast. She made the whole process effortless and added little touches of graciousness. We took advantage of the local trails along the bluffs, but mostly just enjoyed the stunning view of the cove and the displays of the Stellar's jays, ospreys, turkey vultures, and resident harbor seal. We look forward to returning again!

diane is lovely, and thought of everything. it was like we were guests at a b and b without the hostess being physically there. she was thoughtful, pre-emptively reached out to confirm times and locations, and was available to us over our stay. she even gave us welcome call shortly after we arrived. the cove house is absolutely charming! stunning dramatic views, immaculately clean, cozy, has character, warmth, and feels LIVED in. it was my step mother's favorite house EVER she is 72 and has traveled the world, including a handful of air bnb's. really cannot say enough about the location charm and comfort of the home. so imagine i just went on and on. and, a few bit of information to form your expectations. the guest loft is quite open, not good to change, or for any quiet. i was woken every morning at 6am by the water and cofffee going in the kitchem below. ther are no closets or places to keep clothes either so you have to go down the spiral staircase for everything. it's for young and energetic guests i'd say. also keep in mind there is only one shower. it's in the downstairs so you have to be comfortable sharing. these were exlipsed entirely by the amazing home and garden and outdoor shower and pool and true appliances and LOVE of the place. but it is good to be mentally ready! one more positive note, if you are a hiker, runner, shroomer, or just lover of views, you cannot beat the location. salt point is 10mins north fort ross 10mins south. and the house has fast wifi too! i actually 'worked' on monday : ) cheers

This place is great! You know how when you see the photos of some place online and then you show up only to be disappointed? Well not in this case -- it totally delivers. There are gorgeous views of the ocean from practically every room of the house. And wildlife! We saw ospreys, seals, and hummingbirds all right off the deck. The host was super friendly and communicative. And as a huge plus, we lost a diamond ring on the property and they found it a week later and returned it to us! Super honest. Highly recommended!

Not only does the Cove House have a beautiful view, the house itself is very nicely decorated and comfortable to stay in. It was delightfully clean and stocked with fresh spices and condiments.

This home is truly a gem and the attention to detail from Diane as a host was unparalleled. Every detail thought of and question answered clearly in the instructions. She thoughtfully left us a little pasta/sauce to eat upon arrival and the bubbly which we enjoyed very much, and even called to check in the first evening. We had a wonderful weekend away and enjoyed this lovely, unique property. Hot tub worked amazingly well, the rooms quiet and the beds comfortable. A wonderful place to stay, I'd return in a heartbeat.

Diane was an excellent host! And the place is beautiful. We particularly enjoyed the breathtaking view of the ocean and large pool and hot tub in the backyard. I enjoy cooking and the kitchen was a joy to use. The pantry was well stocked with spices, salt, oils, etc. and there were plenty of dishes, utensils, and bakeware. The grill on the deck is a nice touch, as are the two ovens and glass range. We definitely felt at home. We had planned to go hiking or to the beach, but we were having such a relaxing time that we just stayed in the house all weekend! What a treat. Look forward to another visit to Timber Cove. Thanks Dianne!

As in last year, our stay at Diane’s and Chris’ house was stunningly beautiful. The house offers anything you can whish for and the location is unique. We have recovered and will be back. Thank you Diane and Chris for opening this paradise for us.

Great place with an awesome lookout. Quiet, relaxing and could only see one other house a ways off. We enjoyed the short drive north to me of the beaches. But mainly the house had everything we needed and more.

This rental was fantastic. The photos did not do it justice. Expensive as can only accommodate 6 people, but worth it to spend the weekend in luxury. Would rent again

Everything is great in this place. The house is cozy and due to high ceilings it's always full of sunlight. It's naturally isolated from neighbours and has a great view of the ocean. Kitchen is well equipped, all appliances are new. The house is warm and mostly clean. I recommend this place to everyone who is looking a quite place to relax and recover their energy.

This place was amazing. We saw whales from the patio every day

Serenity is a great way to describe this place. It's very quiet except the sound of the ocean, so peaceful. When we were there we didn't see anybody in the neighboring houses most of which are blocked by trees. It's very cabin in the woods meets ocean. The main room is beautiful with the huge windows. The kitchen is very big and one of the best views in house is while standing at the sink. Biggest downside was that there were a lot of trees everywhere that blocked much of the ocean view. You really only get a small portal to see the ocean, definitely not a panoramic view. Also the hot tub is separate from the house up a stone path about 50 feet away. The property is not great for sunbathing since it's mostly in shadows due to the trees.
