Wonderful place to be!

Everything worked out great. It is a beautiful property and has awesome views and cats.

Ben welcomed us in to his beautiful property at a moments notice. My girlfriend and I were traveling from Northern California back to LA and wanted to camp out on the coast. Being Labor Day weekend , we feared all camp sites would be booked. Looking to air bb we found bens site and booked immediately. The beauty is an understatement. It's nestled in a cove in the northern part of the town of Jenner. The waves crashing against the shore with pine trees and eucalyptus scattered through out. I had never paid for camping before but having a little space to yourself is truly worth it . Ben was very accommodating and answered any and all questions we had. I recommended staying at this space.

Loved the cats, the view, and everything else about this place. Cole was nice and very accommodating. Simone was the most lovable cat I've met by far. Will definitely be back again!

This campsite is amazing and Ben is a great host. Friendly cats are an understatement... they are super welcoming and add to the site. Hope to be back soon.

I would give this listing four stars overall - the location of the campsite itself is stunning and, being set a little distance from the main house, private. Be aware that you'll need to walk up/down a sloped path to get from the main house/your vehicle to the campsite; it's not difficult as long as you don't have any mobility issues, but it's something to be aware of. The site is located on a beautiful bluff; the fire pit has a bench facing the ocean and the tent site is grassy with plenty of space. There are a couple of very friendly cats who met us on arrival and were more than happy to share our fire (there's a commercial campground with a general store a few minutes further along the road toward Jenner; we bought our firewood there.) The main house was what I would term 'dorm clean' - which is to say, not filthy but not super clean. There are two caretakers living in the main house, and it felt less like we were sharing the space than that we were invading their home, so we elected to skip using the kitchen or shower. As long as you're cool with a very rustic experience, I would definitely recommend the campsite; the location is gorgeous and private and suited us well for a single night. Longer stays requiring cooking or bathing might not have worked as well for us, but everyone's mileage will vary on that point.

Great campsite with amazing view! Hosts were friendly. It was nice to have access to the kitchen and bathroom as well.

We were welcomed, easy to find, great communication

This place was perfect! Great, comfortable, very clean apartment. Warren was a fantastic host -- stocked us up with fresh made bread and jams, and milks and coffee. Such a nice, pleasant guy to interact with. Very peaceful, very relaxed place to see in a great location. Perfect way for me to spend my diving weekend, and my wife's birthday. 6 stars to this place, all the way.

The cottage is located near Fort Ross on the Sonoma coast, close to Salt Point State Park and Armstrong Woods. There are breathtaking views and beautiful trails right in the vicinity of this cottage. The cottage is spacious and airy, looking out into a park-like setting with tall redwood and deer roaming. Warren was most helpful and generous. We found fresh bread, milk, orange juice, yogurt, homemade jam and a basket of fruits waiting for us. The two bathrooms made it super convenient. A superb experience to be remembered.

Margaret and Warren have a beautiful home. I took my parents here for their birthday, and we were all pleased with this choice. There are beautiful ocean views from the bedroom and living room and a small hill behind the property for better viewing. We were visited by deer in the morning. It felt very secluded but close enough for easy day trips to Jenner, Fort Ross, and Bodega Bay. I would recommend getting there during the day, as driving that portion of highway 1 was slightly tricky at night.

Fantastic stay with Warren and Margaret. The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Loved their apartment. It was very peaceful and had everything we needed. Highly recommend this place!

We had a very relaxing family get away here. This is a lovely spot to visit on the coast - even in the winter rains. We enjoyed the beach and nearby Fort Ross, as well as lazing around the unit, playing family board games and enjoying Margaret's delicious fruit and nut loaf and jams. A cozy get-away.

I am jealous of you, the reader, because you are going to have the most pleasant surprise when you get to this heavenly place. It is so much more than the pictures provided. The location is more secluded than you think, the house is bigger than you think, the nut loaf bread is tastier than you think. This place has everything you may possible desire in a b&b and then some. It even comes with no cell phone signal of any kind - free of charge !!! wireless fidelity is so slow and limited that you'll turn OFF all your devices and will proceed to entertain yourself as humans used to before electricity was invented. You will no longer need to watch cat videos on YouTube as you'll have three live cats running around outdoors with you. There is a hammock, badminton, beach, forest. You'll never want to leave. Drop everything and go there now !!!

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!

Phenomenal people and place !

We arrived at the bakery on a Friday night in the pouring rain. Mark welcomed us with a couple glasses of wine and helped us get the wood burning stove going in our cabin. After settling in, we enjoyed some live music and homemade pizza in the bakery. What a great welcome! The rest of our weekend was equally enjoyable. Each morning we enjoyed a continental breakfast in the bakery with a fresh-baked pastry of our choice. Mark us provided us with number suggestions for things to do in the area – including a great hike and free wine tasting! Our cabin was clean and cozy, and the location was well-positioned for all the exploring we wanted to do in the Russian River area. We hope to be back someday soon!

Mark very promptly responded to our same day/last minute reservation request for the Gravenstein Cottage for Easter weekend. We were warmly welcomed upon arrival and found the cottage to be very cozy and clean. The bed was perfectly comfortable and the area so quiet. We enjoyed the Friday evening pizza and live music sitting at the small bar inside the bakery. The pastries in the morning were outstanding. Thoroughly enjoyed my belated Birthday getaway.

Mark's creekside property abounds with charm, friendliness, and personality. We had a relaxing weekend stay in the cozy "Gravenstein Cottage" -- located about a 20-minute drive from Guerneville. It was a rainy weekend and we were happy spending a good amount of time basking in the warmth of the cottage's wood stove. One of the greatest highlights of the stay was Mark himself -- a super generous guy who cares about his guests, shares wonderful stories, and serves up delicious homemade breads. Thanks Mark for a unique and memorable stay.

Mark was a fantastic host. The cottage is in a peaceful and beautiful spot. We loved being near the Russian River and Armstrong state park. Each morning Mark presented us with tasty baked goods and coffee/tea. I'd love to go back and would recommend this spot to anyone.

We love Mark and Elizabeth! We had yet another wonderful stay at their delightful bed-and-breakfast in Cazadero– it is one of the most relaxing and beautiful places we have ever been. We can't wait to go back!

Staying with Mark is like staying with your grandma! On the first night we arrived, he treated us like family and even cooked a pizza for us. Staying here is not for the gluten intolerant because his breads and pizzas are a must try for breakfast! Oh and did I mention fantastic tasting cookies for breakfast? The cottage was cute and comfortable. No cell service in Cazadero so be prepared for a throwback evening of board games and listening to records on a phonograph. His place is doggie friendly. Mark is a gracious host with an interesting story. Highly recommend! We will be back!

I can't imagine a better place to stay than Mark's wonderful bakery in Cazadero. Mark is one of the most kind and truly generous people I have ever met - even offering us a truly one of a kind meal with him and his beautiful family. Between the wonderful room, the delicious treats (is there anything better than a fresh baked croissant??), the relaxing location (1200 years old redwoods in the front yard) and the wonderful host- you could not ask for more!!! Mark is a fantastic host and we could not have enjoyed our stay with him any more than we did!! We cannot wait to go back and stay longer!!

Mark welcomed us to the cottage with his adorable twins in tow. He started out fire as we explored the grounds, and welcomed us with a drink and fresh baked pastries available in the bakery. The cabin was clean and comfortable.

Olyver's cabin was a perfect getaway!! The cabin is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Although it is on the main road in Cazadero, it feels secluded and is a lovely place to relax and soak in the surroundings. Highly recommend a staying in this lovely little cabin!

We enjoyed our stay at Olyver's cabin and made great use of his fire pit and outdoor string lights in the evening hours. Walkable distance to the general store in case anything was forgotten at the last minute. Cooking in the kitchen was very easy and the shower in the bathroom was luxurious as advertised. Thanks again Olyver!

Olyver's place is charming, cozy, and beautiful-- perfect for a weekend getaway. Olyver also reached out to make sure we had all the info we needed for a great stay. Will definitely stay here again.

I booked Olyver's cabin for a last minute, spontaneous birthday getaway that could leave me secluded from technology and the grind of daily life, but close enough to the Bay Area that this could be a quick trip. Was not expecting such a glorious weekend in such a special place. Olyver's style is unparalleled and everything about the cabin is homey. We expected to stay in due to the projected rain, but instead we got to spend the days exploring and the nights cozy. The kitchen is beyond equipped, the fire is dreamy, and little Cazadero is pretty perfect. Looking forward to my next visit!

Olyver's place was a wonderful retreat. It was calm, peaceful, and also very close to Jenner & Duncan Mills which are two of my favorite places. You can see the attention to detail and craftsmanship that was put into this place. Also, the lighting when you wake up in the morning is something truly special. Would highly recommend!

Had a lovely time at Olyver's peaceful cabin. The design of the interior is wonderful--the space was light-filled even on a rainy day and the wood burning stove was awesome. There were two houses and the road nearby that I didn't expect from the listing, but it was still very quiet and there was a nice little creek right by the house. Great proximity to hiking at Armstrong Redwoods Preserve!

We had an excellent stay at Olyver's place. The cottage is beautifully crafted with a supreme attention to detail. So often 'rustic' is code for 'worn' on AirBnB, but in this case it's a perfected aesthetic. The place is not completely secluded, but it feels secluded as the view from every room is a forrest and nature. I would go again tomorrow if I had the opportunity.

Great little cabin. Very cool decor. The host was very kind. He even showed us around the house when we first arrived because he happened to be helping a neighbor.

If you're looking for the perfect getaway amongst the trees and not far from the hustle and bustle of the Bay Area, this is the place to go. I've stayed at a bunch of different AirBnB properties and this is definitely on top of my lists for the best value, best host, best property amenities, best patio, and best outdoor views. Plus DrRevJoe is personable, welcoming, and one of the most thoughtful hosts I've ever met through AirBnB. Thanks again for an amazing stay amongst those gorgeous redwood trees!!!! We hope to return soon.

This spot was exactly what we were looking for - a little mountain retreat. The jacuzzi under the stars kept us lounging for hours each night. Dr. Rev. Joe was a truly generous host. When he found out we were newlyweds he ran up to his home and brought down "Milestone" wine and Birde&Groom champagne glasses. The small touches, thoughtful and informative notes, and regional resources made is easy and fun to stay in this tiny house. Thank you so much!

Dr. Joe with his great dining recommendations and his vacation cabin in the woods made for a lovely, and very relaxing, weekend trip.

We had such a wonderful stay at Dr. Joe's studio. Everything was exactly as pictured and super clean, which we appreciated. The space itself was so relaxing -- we used the hot tub every night which was a perfect way to unwind after a day's worth of exploring. We sat out on the deck in the evenings and had our breakfast on the porch most mornings. Perfect! Dr. Joe was so kind and helpful -- he will send you a lot of information but if you're patient to go through it all, you'll be rewarded with some great recommendations! We thoroughly enjoyed a few restaurants he recommended, as well as some wineries and activities in the area. The only potential "negative" was that the wifi was very spotty -- sometimes it worked but mostly it wasn't working (and there is no cell service with AT&T). Didn't really matter that much to us though, we were there for a getaway, and not having wifi 24/7 was quite freeing :) We would definitely recommend this to anyone coming up this way for a getaway! Thanks, Dr. Joe!

Dr. Joe waved us in to the parking space near his beautiful guest house as darkness fell across the valley. He greeted us warmly, and helped with our bags as we made our way down the lighted path to the house. We planned to cycle all the next day, and he helped us settle with a short tour and then, unexpectedly presented us with a bottle of wine. We watched the stars begin to fill the sky as we soaked in the private hot tub. It was completely quiet and relaxing. The guest house is beautiful, with no wasted space - taking advantage of the serene setting. Our bed was the perfect firmness, and we slept well before our ride. Even though we were there a short time (two days), it was completely restorative, and we're already planning our return.

Great location, cozy cabin. The bed was quite comfortable, great views from the deck and the hot tub was amazing. Dr. Joe was a very enthusiastic and accommodating host. He was able to offer us late check out, which was very appreciated. The gift basket of wine, snacks and chocolates were so nice. And his local recommendations were helpful too!

Dr Joe is an outstanding host, and the Sunrise Mountain studio is a delightful place to stay. The space itself was set up very intentionally. Dr Joe painstakingly thought through all the best views and built this little gem accordingly - stunning views no matter which direction you look. He also takes the time to meet n' greet with you to go over some highlights of the studio, as well as to offer his stellar recommendations on all-things-local. He's close by, at the main house on the property, should you need anything - luckily, we never needed a thing and we didn't see Dr Joe until we parted ways on our last morning. Dr Joe is thorough in his descriptions and communications - no surprises anywhere. The pictures are also accurate, although I firmly believe pictures will never fully capture the beauty and energy of the studio. All in all, a great place to stay that I hope to return to!

Dr. Joe's guest house is an amazing place to take a weekend romantic getaway. My boyfriend and I had so much fun exploring the local area (which was full of cute restaurants, river/ocean views, and good hiking), relaxing on the porch, and soaking in the hot tub. Dr. Joe was very communicative and worked hard to make sure that we felt welcome and had a great time. Keep in mind that this is a guest house- don't come expecting a ton of room.

My daughter and I spent the weekend here with a couple of friends to celebrate my birthday and it was a perfect weekend! The Sanctuary in the Redwoods was the perfect description and the place exceeded our expectations. We were welcomed with a birthday card and a bottle of sparkling wine and the place was truly ideal! Jack suggested cycling routes and we had a wonderful time riding our bikes and exploring the area. The house was so comfortable and the absence of internet and cell signal was a bonus rather than a concern. The property was set back away from neighbors and roads and it was wonderfully quiet and majestic among the Redwoods. Jack set up the fire pit perfectly and we enjoyed cooking meals and sitting around the fire sharing stories. An added bonus for my daughter and the adults alike was the rope swing. We will definitely stay here again!!

First off, Jack is an EXCELLENT communicator. Very fast and responsive. From the moment we walked into Jack & Lisa's place we felt truly at peace. The house is very secluded and quiet. We were welcomed by a nice bottle of Pinot Noir. There were three fireplaces/firepits already loaded and ready to start, with homemade wax/lint fire starters and plenty of logs. This place is amazing. Everything you need (and more) is there. There is an awesome selection of books (lots of great literature). We read many stories together from the Grimm Fairy Tale book, and we highly recommend "Catherine and Frederick". There are so many comfortable seating areas: from hanging chairs on the front porch, to TWO hammocks, to an outdoor bed to lounge on in the sunshine. For foodies: the kitchen has everything you need. Even a few cast iron pans! There are many gourmet condiments available and some very nice loose teas to try (plus a high end ceramic teapot with a strainer). PLUS, a very cool Wedgewood gas stove...lots of fun! And plenty of counter space for prepping. Plus the dishes and mugs were beautiful. The attention to detail in the decor is amazing. Lisa is an artist, and it certainly shows in her choices of color, design, etc. She even has some of her original artwork displayed. The beds....VERY comfortable Ikea mattresses. You will sink into a peaceful, dreamy sleep within a matter of minutes. My son enjoyed sleeping outside everyday. The surroundings: beautiful redwoods. Lots of great hiking trails nearby, and a nice deep creek/river to jump into if you'd like. And there are floats, river chairs, towels available to use in the creek. Games: plenty of board games, cards, a guitar (yes, it's tuned). Fun: a trampoline, bow & arrows Cleanup: there's a washer and dryer available plus laundry soap. Oh gosh, I miss it already! This is certainly a place I would return to, and I don't say that very often. Thank you Jack & Lisa!!!

This was one of my favorite Airbnb experiences to date! It was exactly what we were looking for... a nice remote spot in the redwoods. The place was incredibly clean and cozy, and had everything we needed for a weekend out of the city. They even had three separate fires -- two outdoor and one indoor -- all set up and ready to light. The nearby creek was really fun to explore, with lots of little frogs hopping around on the banks, and woodpeckers in the trees above. We hope to stay there again in the future!

Excellent communication, easy access, and a perfectly charming house in the woods! Wish we could have stayed longer.

Jack's house was much more than what we could ask for. Spot on instructions to reach to the house and the welcome sign hinted that our weekend was going to be fantastic. When we stepped out of the car, hearing the creek, and looking up to the stars made it certain that we made the right choice. Not only Jack pays attention to every single detail, his house is in an amazing part of California. The fire pit, cheminee, and the fire place were all ready to use. They served as great gathering spots for all of us to exchange stories and share the bottle of wine he left for us. It was by far my favorite airbnb experience yet. Definitely recommended! Thanks Jack, we truly enjoyed our time at your wonderful place!

This was my best Airbnb experience to date! Jack's communication and service was top notch. The cabin was the perfect retreat for our family trip - a group of 6 celebrating a 60th birthday. We were just a short walk from the creek and the cabin had plenty to keep us busy when we weren't swimming. Between the fire pits, hammocks, board games, trampoline and rope swing, it felt like we had our own private summer camp to enjoy for the weekend. The home has clearly been decorated with lots of love and care making enjoying the decor an activity in itself. I would definitely return!

We were looking for an "analog weekend," and boy did we get it. We really enjoyed being disconnected, spending time cooking meals in the perfectly stocked kitchen and tending to the three different fireplaces. It's hard to imagine a more perfect "cabin in the woods."

Amazing house in an amazing location. Great host. Loved it.

The Caz Redwood Retreat was such a magical place and Sandi really was an amazing host. From getting us into the house, to giving us a great rundown of fun stuff to do nearby, we couldn't have felt more at home. Her one recommendation that we didn't follow was to stay two nights because, as she said, "that's what it takes to really unwind". We should have heeded that advice! The house itself is lovely and perfect for 2 couples to enjoy. The two redwoods flanking the deck on either side made it feel very special, especially for a bunch of east coasters like us. If you have the opportunity to stay here, definitely do.

Great little peace of paradise. Has the quaint peaceful vibe of russian river with modern amenities. I came here as a kid on family vacations (from Stockton!) so I vouch that this a good old wholesome Russian River cabin! Updated enough for modern comforts, but still charming and rustic. Loved it!

Super cozy house in the middle of a redwood forest. We went there with some friends over a weekend. Sandi called me the day before to give to ensure I had all the details I needed about the house. We arrived around 10pm on a Friday night. It was pretty cold outside, but Sandi had made sure the heat was on so we wouldn't be cold. The house itself is beautiful, with an open fireplace, fresh bathroom, two cozy bedrooms and a modern kitchen (with all the appliances and tools you might need).

Sandi was very helpful with accurate directions and tips about the area. The redwoods and creek near the house provided an excellent backdrop to the weekend and were great to return to after our day trips. I especially recommend the pastries and espresso from the nearby bakery and soaking your toes in the creek while sitting on the provided beach chairs.

Sandi was very helpful before my arival. Explained everything i need to know to get to, and in the house, and even notified me of all the fetures of the house once i arrived. The house was very clean and cosy. She even had a few pieces of firewood left so we could get the house warmed up even more. The house had a tall shower which i really love to see being 6'3" so i didnt have to bend down at all. The master bed had a foodboard so i couldnt sleep in there, but the pink room was very comfortable. Cazadero is like a place ive never seen, green everywhere with little sunlight, (there is once you get to the town) i would recoment anyone to stay here at least once for a different experience.

What a lovely place and location. We enjoyed our very relaxing, private and peaceful stay. Wish we could have stayed longer. The home was equipped with everything we needed and we were down the road to Raymond's bakery...yum! The house can get pretty chilly but once you burn some wood and/or turn on the heaters it gets warm and cozy right away. Sandi was very accommodating and kept in touch with us throughout the whole process. Definitely will return for the summer. Our dog also enjoyed it!

Absolutely beautiful house and surroundings in the Redwoods. We were two couples who rented the place for the weekend and the photos lived up to our expectations. Very nice and clean and spacious. One of the beds a little short. A great wooden deck with lights. Sandi was very friendly and helpful with information. Just down the street - walking distance - is Raymond bakery with awesome fresh baked bread, coffee and great pizzas. Open fri-sun. Friday is pizza night with live music and can be recommended. A lot of wineyards within 15-30 min drive. Will definitely recommend this place to others :)

The Caz Redwood Retreat was fantastic; better that expected. My wife and I had her sister and boyfriend visiting from Indiana. We wanted a great place to stay and experience the coast. We loved the mid-century style of the house and it had plenty of space for the four of us to spread out. The decks were great and the location in the redwoods is perfect for a retreat from the city. Sandi was a great host and always accessible if we needed anything. Highly recommended!

Wonderful weekend, amazing place. Can't wait to return!

Very clean, cute and well designed space in the Redwoods. Definitely more on the 'vintage' side, but has all of the charm that comes with that. Would definitely stay here again – plus the sauna is incredible!

The house was perfect. We rented the Airstream along with the house, and the combination was perfect for a family with young kids. They made the Airstream a kids-only zone and had a ball. The A-frame was perfectly rustic, with some nice throwback touches (Hi-fi with some great records, like "The Harder they Come"). The creek had a perfect 7-foot deep swimmin' hole. We chilled our butts off. The forest is spectacular, trees majestic and shady. We barely woke up before 9 am because the house is nestled so deeply in the forest of Endor. Partied like Ewoks after the Death Star exploded.

The house is a postcard. Awesome original mid century fixtures, great fire place, cool airstream, etc. This place is rad. Will be back.

Listing was perfectly accurate. Beautiful spot along a quiet creek bed. Gorgeous details to the property, like good quality soaps, gorgeous garden, record player with a good set of records, sauna etc. Owner responsive and helpful.

Great stay! The setting is beautiful and perfect for a weekend getaway. We were delighted to have a bottle of wine waiting for us upon arrival and the house was equipped with everything else we could need. I'll say that the bathroom shower is not my favorite (rather small), but the sauna and outdoor shower certainly make up for it. Overall, I would highly recommend this listing for its comforts and location. Thank you, Trent!

The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The area was extremely beautiful and exactly as we thought it would be. Nestled in the forest and quiet. The record player and sauna were wonderful! It was clean and well maintained. We had a bit of an issues with the phone and Internet. It was out of order upon arrival and we Trent but was unable to get ahold of him for two days. Once we spoke to him, he was quite helpful and we were able to get it up and running and connect to our families.

Our stay was very comfortable and was the perfect weekend away. We'd definitely stay here again next time we need a relaxing retreat.

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the retreat in the redwoods. Paul and Sheila were very accommodating, friendly and warm hosts. The house was the perfect escape from the city and groceries, shops, etc. were in close proximity. We enjoyed the goodies that were given to us. They were a wonderful surprise. We look forward to staying at the retreat in the future.

Waking up among the trees was magical, and Paul and Sheila were completely welcoming, thoughtful, and warm. They were able to accommodate our last-minute reservation request and did so very graciously. Cazadero is tiny and beautiful, and I'd come back in a heartbeat.

Paul and Sheila are wonderful people, they made us feel very welcome and we'd be happy to recommend their lovely Redwood house to anyone who wants to experience nice people and a beautiful setting. Make sure you don't miss Friday night at the Bakery with pizza and live music!

We loved staying at Paul and Sheila's secluded retreat. My friends and I found the apartment to be beautifully furnished and outfitted with everything we could possibly need. I was at first worried about the kitchenette, since I typically love to cook when I go away on retreats, but found that with the hot plate and all the dishes, utensils, and serving platters, there was nothing we couldn't make. Plenty of towels in the bathroom, and a hairdryer and complimentary soaps were provided. Paul and Sheila were even kind enough to offer to let us use their barbecue so we could grill on the Fourth of July—we didn't end up doing so but appreciated the gesture all the same. The basket of fruit, and the gifts of milk, OJ, sparkling water, wine, coffee, and tea, were all greatly appreciated and unexpected. The local little creek was marvelous to take a quick dip in, and we loved the bakery just down the road. All in all, a fantastic hideaway, which I'd be glad to revisit.

Paul and Sheila's place is like a treehouse, high up among the trees. It is beautiful to look out the window, and it's a short walk to the creek or the cafe, and a short drive to downtown Cazadero.

The relaxing retreat in the redwoods was the perfect getaway location that we needed. It's close to Guerneville and Healdsburg while also feeling secluded and located in the middle of the forest. The accommodations were perfect and Paul/Sheila are extremely attentive.

This is a beautiful retreat in the woods. A nice walk from the bakery and Cazadero Performing Arts Camp. Clean, very nicely decorated and comfortable. Love eating on the little terrace, and the fruit, DVDs, books and general welcoming vibe of our lovely hosts who were friendly, easy-going, allowing for privacy, and helpful. We LOVED it and would stay again in a heartbeat.

The house was pure magic and absolutely amazing, nestled among the redwoods. There is so much to explore on the property from the creek to the many chill zones around the house and yard. With so much nearby (stores, activities) this was the perfect location away from the hustle and bustle while still only 5 min away from all the amenities. I'll be back for sure.

Wonderful haven in the redwoods far enough from road to make it feel secluded with the creek raging beside providing an amazing lullaby soundtrack Layout is interesting No bathroom in upstairs main bedroom Amazing wood burning stove that kept us cozy and warm Well appointed kitchen We will rent again!

The house was wonderful. The location looking out on a little waterfall with a babbling stream running next to the house was so charming. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and other utensils which made cooking easy and stress free. The little things like doggy sheets to throw over the furniture and the well stocked wood pile were really appreciated. Being 10 minutes from Goat Rock Beach was the best. We will definitely be a repeat renter of this special getaway.

The cabin is cute. The location is amazing. It exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend.

Great house with a huge deck and outdoor space with lots of quirky areas to sit and chill. Probably not the right fit if you have accessibility issues (due to stairs) but that wasn't a problem for us. We were all up and down the Mountainside just across the creek from the house with the dogs who loved it.

This house was amazing! We booked the weekend there for my birthday and had so much fun - the hot tub is super nice and the backyard opens up into the redwoods. There's also a cute creek that flows down from the hill behind the house so you can hear flowing water all day. There were plenty of cooking materials which was super helpful. Though it would have been nice for the grill to get a bit hotter. One thing to keep in mind is that they have a two car maximum policy (even though there is plenty of parking) - we had to play quite a bit of musical chairs as my friends all came up in separate cars (because, you know, life). We had to stash the cars down the road but it wasn't too bad, just an extra step in planning. Also - two of the bedrooms do not have full enclosures. So if you want true privacy take the bedroom downstairs.

Great stay at the secret garden. Perfect home base for a beautiful biking weekend. Amazing hot tub, back deck, surrounded by trees. Comfortable beds and nice sized kitchen to cook meals. We would love to come again!

This was our second visit to this home, which is cozily nestled along a creek. It has all of the amenities that one would need and is quite comfortable to stay in.

Wonderful stay. It rained during our weekend there, but that meant lots of cozy time around the wood-burning stove and watching the creek rise. Well-stocked kitchen with supplies and nicely updated. The redwoods on and around the property are amazing. Maria was very responsive.

Very clear instructions on how to find the house (cell reception is very poor in the area so we had Maria's (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) doc printed with us), easy access to the house on arrival, and everything you'd normally expect when coming home was provided. Lots of room for a family of four (I would think another 4 could've easily stayed with us), and our kids loved having their own room with bunk beds downstairs, while us parents enjoyed having a huge and very comfortable Tempurpedic king bed upstairs (away from the noise!) The house has a brand new deck with easy access to the rocky creek "beach" right below the house. The creek was quite shallow at the time, but it actually worked out well because our kids are young and enjoyed wading up and down the creek looking for fish and tadpoles. We also used the fire pit for some yummy marshmallows - firewood, kindling, lighters, and all 'smore accessories and ingredients were provided. The house itself is a few minutes off 116 deep in the redwoods, so it's quite beautiful waking up and seeing the huge trees outside the window. The drive to Guerneville took about 15 minutes, which is where we ate, shopped, and played on Johnson's Beach whenever we didn't hang out by "our" creek. One thing I will say is there was a fair bit of traffic on the road, often coming at a pretty good clip, so I wouldn't recommend jogging or walking along the road as there's no walkway. We really couldn't have been happier with the house or location, and it made our first family trip to the Guerneville/Cazadero area a great success. One of our 6 year olds suggested that we should sell our house in Berkeley and come live here permanently! A huge thank you to Maria for a lovely stay. :-)

Perfect spot for a weekend getaway. A true airbnb - feels like you're being hosted in someone's home, not just a place that's being rented out for profit. And don't forget to visit the bakery. (The baker will be there on the weekend if you're lucky.)

Our stay was awesome and we hope to stay again soon! Our 2 little ones loved the trampoline and we sat by the lovely clear creek and skipped rocks for much of the day. The bed upstairs is so comfortable too. Kitchen is very well stocked and easy to find everything. Wonderful and very helpful hosts too!

This is a FANTASTIC home/cabin in the woods. Very peaceful and serene, with a wonderful view onto the river. The pictures don't do it justice. It is very easy to access from the road, with tons of great parking. The main level and wrap around deck were awesome to cook out and to also lay about in the hammock. Probably the best part was going down to the river itself - There is a fire-pit along with the most perfect spot to sit and watch the stars.

This house was fun to stay at, but not especially well-kept. We enjoyed using the wood-burning stove and the fire pit out back, and the bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable. A lot of the home felt moist and mildewy, which we understand is hard to get rid of in an old home in the middle of the woods! We only used one bed, but the others were on the first floor and not in an ideal location. Because of the drought, the creek is very low, so don't plan on using it for anything.

This cabin offers big relaxation for a short drive. We rented the dreamy creekside cabin to get away from the city for a short weekend and in the words of my 7 year old "it felt like a long vacation"! Even the drive was beautiful through the rolling hills of Sonoma then through the redwoods and Guerneville, we didn't even need the ipad to distract the kids. The house was very comfortable with lots of indoor and outdoor space and a ton of water and indoor toys. The hosts were very helpful: when I emailed Maria about a running path, she wrote back within 15 minutes on a Sunday. The river was freezing cold (end of April) but my kids were knee deep collecting rocks the entire weekend! We are looking forward to returning to this cabin.

The house is great! Well prepared for the guest!!! Maria was great host! Very communicative and helpful.

This gem tucked away in the redwoods of Cazadero was a wonderful escape. The location was easy to find with directions from the host, the property is very secluded and private & Austin Creek right over the porch was breathtaking. We look forward to returning soon & making this a regular vacation destination!

Wicker house exceeded our expectations - if you can imagine, the place is even more beautiful and serene than the photographs. Book with confidence!

Such a great break from the city life! The Wicker house was fully stocked with everything you need from salt to shaving cream. It was great to have my pups with me and the creek was great to hike down. I needed a quiet place to write and it was exactly what I needed! I will definitely be back!

Wow is all I can say! The Wicker House was the absolute perfect get away for my husband and I before he leaves for his job for the summer. Right on the river and super super secluded, The Wicker House offered comfort on every level. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept on! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook delicious meals. The WiFi and cable worked perfectly. The hot tub was absolutely amazing! We went in morning and night and found incredible relaxation while surrounded by redwoods and the river. The area just outside the property with a hammock, tables and chairs, and secret nooks to hang out in was like a little wonderland. We never met Carole, but spoke on the phone briefly once. She sounds so sweet and she picked up on the idea we just wanted to have some alone time for the weekend. Duncan Mills, which is really close, is an adorable town I highly recommend. Great coffee spot and antique stores! If you are looking to enjoy yourself in a quiet peaceful setting in absolute comfort, the Wicker House is it!

Loved our stay at the Wicker House! We came here for the first 2 nights of our honeymoon and it was perfect. We were especially impressed with how well stocked the kitchen was (that's a big deal for us) and how warm, comfortable and user friendly the house was. The dogs were so happy to have a nice well fenced yard to scamper about in and we really enjoyed the hot tub and its proximity to the bathroom ( for showering purposes, the next place we stayed the hot tub was on a platform up on a hill overlooking the ocean and was beautiful but it seriously sucked running out to it after showing off!) as well as its privacy. And since I mentioned the bathroom can I just say, dual showerheads is a new life goal of ours. Thanks for everything!

Fantastic place! Would definitely stay here again!

The Wickerhouse is gorgeous, Cazadero is amazing. Everything about this place, and our vacation, was top notch. Thank you

The Wicker House is truly amazing. It was exactly like the pictures. Well decorated and comfortable. The grounds were magical and the weather was perfect. It doesn't get any better than this.

From the well stocked kitchen to the comfort of sitting in front of the Franklin stove, the redwoods outside each window....this little hideaway was perfect! Waking up each morning after a comfortable night's sleep to the sound of birds and the sunlight coming through the redwoods was awesome. Nestled in a nice quiet neighborhood, the cottage is half way between the beautiful Sonoma coast and the rolling green hills of the wine country. We totally relaxed at our "home away from home". Thank you Andrew!

The cottage was so charming and comfortable. Andrew was quick with his responses and flexible in accommodating our needs. It helped us settle in nicely. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need and easy to navigate. We were two families each with toddlers and it was such a relaxing getaway. The kids loved playing on the deck picking up leaves and loved splashing in the near by river/creeks. There is no AC (which we already knew) so it can get warm during the day, but cools down nicely in the evenings. Would definitely come back! Thanks Andrew :)

We had a great weekend at Andrew's home. The beautiful surroundings and well-decorated and equipped cabin made for a nice escape from the city. Very close to the ocean and Russian River wineries, as well.

Andrew's place is cozy & beautiful! This spot is perfect for a getaway from San Francisco. A quiet and tranquil gem, set amongst the redwoods with quick access to vineyards, the Sonoma coast, the Russian River and more. Andrew was very communicative and everything was logistically easy. Highly recommended spot!

Andrew's place was a sweet respite deep in the woods near the quaint town of cazadero. The beds are comfortable, plenty of blankets and towels. LOVE the heated floor in the bathroom. The kitchen is well stocked with all you need to create a lovely meal to share on the sweet lower deck. We really enjoyed the bakery/restaurant within walking distance for Friday night pizza and live music and morning pastries. The cottage is not far from the coast and the town of Greenville so there are great excursion opportunities if you don't want to just curl up in front of the wood stove and watch the trees sway. A very nice getaway!

This place was fantastic, beautiful, and peaceful. We were looking for a retreat, and we found it! We spent quite a bit of time just relaxing in the space. The home is decorated impeccably. The stunning view of the Redwood trees combined with the main level being the top floor, created the impression of being up and in the trees. From the fantastic kitchen, where we made most of our meals, to the comfortable living quarters, the peacefulness of the space was rejuvenating. We had the best sleep we have had in years thanks to the amazing oxygen filled air and one of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in. The tub was a treat, which was enhanced by little details like the towel warmer in the bathroom. We were grateful for the chairs which we took down to the river where we took a swim and enjoyed our books. Andrew was fantastic and very concerned with our comfort. He was readily available when we had a question. We would love to come back to this lovely retreat.

It's all in the title: exquisite and redwoods. We were not disappointed. The house is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The region is breathtaking. We had the most wonderful stay. Our only concern was that we arrived late the first night and didn't have time to warm up the house. So we ended up being cold the first night and morning. But then we met Marc at the Raymond's Bakery. Those croissant are almost better than in France! I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to our friends.

Because of some very unforeseen weather complications we were not able to stay with Andrew and had to cancel at the very last minute. He was extremely understanding and communicative. It was a small bright spot in an otherwise pretty terrible ordeal. I would absolutely recommend staying with him and hope to be able to be able to do so in the future myself!

Marie was a wonderful host! She was so easy to talk to and wanted to make sure that our stay was perfect. Her home was absolutely beautiful and filled with unique furniture and antiques. Her special touches are evident all throughout the property. It was the perfect quiet getaway. We enjoyed sitting in the hot tub with a glass of wine under the stars. When we arrived, the fireplaces were on and everything was so cozy. We will definitely make Sanctuaire an annual tradition. I can't wait to return to this special, amazing place! Thank you, Marie for the best birthday/anniversary weekend I could hope for!

The stay at Marie's was one of the most relaxing and wonderful experiences. Thank you!!

Marie was a gracious host. She gave us absolute privacy, but she was available to handle any issues. The house is great. The grounds are serene. I'd highly recommend it. Perfect for couples.

My family and I had a very nice stay at Sanctuaire. The property is very beautiful and secluded. The house is well equiped and comfortable for five people. We stayed for two nights and it was very cosy and warm even though it was really cold out. We enjoyed the wood stove and the living space where we played games and read books. The kitchen was very nicely set up to allow us to cook some nice meals and enjoy the property. The hot tub was very hot and affords some nice views and great star gazing. The thermostat needs to be replaced to make it a little easier to control the temperature. The water on the property is also really good and cold. If you a seeking a retreat to chill out and relax than Sanctuarie is the place to go. Thanks Marie for making the place available! Best. Peter

Lovely location, beautiful house, overbearing owner mostly forgiven on account of holiday madness. Though she did try to claim we damaged the stove (we did not) and failed to produce any photos of the alleged damage. Perhaps a simple misunderstanding.

Such a zen place. From the beautifully decorated house to the serene landscaping; everything was just beautiful.

The place was beautiful. Highlights were definitely the pool and hot tub, along with the view. The house was comfortable and everything in working order. No wine glasses, which I thought was a bit odd for a house in Sonoma County, but we made do! Overall a great experience. The one thing that was off-putting was the "interview" the host put me through before giving me the address to the house...after I had already booked and paid. Sorry, but this is something that if you feel necessary to do you should do before the person books. I felt like I was being talked to by a parent...making sure I was the "right fit" and that no partying was going to be happening, what my plans were while staying, where I planned to go, what drew me to choosing your home to rent, etc. etc. Again, this is AFTER I paid. After looking forward to visiting the Russian River, and telling her this was part of my plan, she said something to the effect of that not being a good choice and that I should go to the coast instead. (URL HIDDEN) This really detracted from the excitement I was feeling about getting away for a couple days with my girlfriends. I understand wanting to talk to the person renting your house, but (URL HIDDEN) this before they book. It was uncomfortable. Finally, after a 15 minute conversation, Marie decided I was good enough to give the address to! Very frustrating and in my opinion, rude. On the PLUS side, Marie did not enforce a strict check out time, so we were able to sleep in, and she did not disturb our stay one bit. I think if you book this place you just have to be prepared to be vetted in an awkward way. It's one thing to offer directions and give some helpful tips about the area, but it's another to make me answer 20 questions after paying $600+ for a weekend stay, and only providing the address after I "passed" her test.

Marie took good care of us just as she takes good care of her house. I highly recommend staying here if you want some quite and relaxation.

Overall experience was great. Paula was very helpful prior to our group getting to the house and made sure all my questions were answered. Everything she mentioned about the house and what it could provide was accurate. It is always nice when the pictures you see online match what the house actually looks like. Very comfortable and relaxing. Amenities were perfect and fit our group's need perfectly. I would def. come back again. Highly recommend this.

Amazing location right on the river. House was in perfect condition. Our group loved the hot tub and fire pit and being right on the river!

The house suited our needs very well. It is super comfortable, in a relaxing atmosphere, surrounded by redwoods, and overlooks the creek. We had originally planned on taking a day to explore the surrounding area, but the property was so comfortable that we decided not to leave.

The listing really doesn't do justice to how beautiful the view is from the main living area. You're surrounded by redwoods. This is a perfect place to enjoy river life - grilling, hot tubbing, playing in the creek. The only downside worth mentioning is that you definitely hear the traffic from the road out front. But don't let this put you off this lovely spot. I would be sure to rent here again.

Paula was super sweet and very easy to get in touch with. She made sure we had all the info we needed, and spared no expense in making sure the house was decked out. We spent most of our time outside over looking the creek, which was so beautiful it looked professionally landscaped. The fire pit and hot tub were just what we needed to unwind. The house was the cleanest I have experienced at an airbnb rental, with several bathrooms and many bedrooms to choose from. The only thing I would recommend if you will be using the excellent kitchen to cook meals is to bring your own knives. Other than that tiny inconvenience, the house was amazing. Thanks Paula for making it happen!

The cabin is located in a beautiful area - we loved exploring the Russian River valley with our family. We stayed with our extended family and the house fit our party of 10 perfectly. Kids had their own bedroom and bathroom! The hot tub was great and our kids loved exploring the creek bed.

Communication - I had to wait sometime to communicate with the host due to the holidays but was able to reach her the day before our trip. Accommodation - Beautiful house nestled between huge redwoods on a creek. 2 bedrooms and a full bath on the top floor. 1 master bedroom and 1.5 baths on the 2nd floor. Den downstairs with 2 futons, laundry room, .5 bath, and huge TV. Fitting 10 people could be a stretch but we fit 6 quite comfortably. The fire pit location is a bit awkward but really nice to have. You have neighbors next door and across the creek. WiFi downstairs is a little spotty. Heater is pretty loud and takes some time to fire up. Would definitely stay again.

Thank you Paula for a wonderful experience. You have a lovely home that perfectly fit our needs. Although the creek was low so we didn't swim in it, the view was fantastic and the hot tub was hot. I would recommend this house to others looking for a great weekend getaway.

This was our second visit to Elements, we can't recommend it more highly! It is just so amazing, peaceful, and zen. Last visit it was my husband, me, and our two (under age 4) kids. This trip we invited another family with two more (under age 4) kids. Since there are multiple "cabins" on-site, we had a really great balance of togetherness and separateness. While most of the fun happened at the main house, we also used the new hot tub, and yoga studio. Seriously, this place has it all.

This property was a dream come true. The vibes at this place were SO zen. The property layout had such a nice flow to it, with the separate buildings, and the redwood hot tub, it was nice just to walk around and take in the beauty all around you. We had a group of eight friends stay the weekend, and we were all so comfortable and at peace there, that we didn't leave the whole weekend. The kitchen was perfectly stocked, the beds were huge with very high quality mattresses, the bathrooms all had very special showers or baths, there was everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We stayed during a category three storm, and we did not lose power, the entire property is hooked up to a backup generator, so we experienced no inconvenience from the storm. We even had fun in the hot tub during the storm, as we were slightly sheltered by the circle of redwood trees surrounding it. When we got too hot, we just sat on the edge and let the rain cool us off. It was magical. The owners thought of everything, they had an iPad set up to play music from (which could be played on speakers near the hot tub), they had Netflix on the TV, there was really strong wifi, they had a lot of games, there was a lot of stuff to do. But we were content just talking and laughing and enjoying the scenery. The rain made everything around us lush and green and misty. It was breathtaking. The check out list was very reasonable, and it didn't take us long to clean up the place according to the owner's expectations. The owners also stayed in contact with us to make sure we were aware of the storm conditions, and they were available to reach if we wanted to book massages or cooking lessons on the property. We didn't this time, but we decided that next time we would definitely take them up on the offer to arrange an event on the property. We had a perfect weekend, and we can't wait to return when the weather is nicer, so that we can enjoy the many outdoor amenities, like the fire pit sitting area, and the many other sitting areas located around the property.

Heather and Bryan were great hosts and gave it their best to make sure we had a great stay at Elements. It's an amazing property - 4 little houses nestled high up in the redwoods outside of Cazadero. Perfect for a couples retreat or family getaway. There is a lot of outdoor space if you want to have a campfire or stargaze.

Michael was nothing short of amazing in his communication of not only the check-in process, but also offered ideas and help on what to do around town. His property is immaculate, expansive, and jaw dropping beautiful. All we could talk about was the next time we were coming back to enjoy the peaceful, quiet, and beautiful retreat. I would recommend to anyone anytime, book it!

Beautiful home in the middle of a redwood and sequoia grove, absolutely beautiful. We had no issues with property which was ideal for a group of 4 couples looking to relax or see vineyards during the day and cook group meals in the indoor/outdoor kitchen/s or head-out at night. Heather was very helpful and responsive throughout, would definitely book again.

Ohhhh nooooo I hate to spread the word about this great spot! It's divine! The owners really know how to do air bnb. They were very, very responsive to everything!

The house is as gorgeous as the photos make it out to be. Definitely a great choice for anyone looking to visit the Armstrong Redwoods, Wine Country, or just looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

This wonderful home is an absolute MUST! It's even better in person...the pictures are just icing! We had a fantastic time...and even gave us a few ideas of what we wanted to do in our own home. I hope to make it back soon. This is definitely a gem nestled in the forest!

We had a great weekend at Sequoia Beach Dreamery. Andrew, the host made sure we had everything we need and then some. The area surrounding the cabin is beautiful, peaceful and calm. The cabin is clean, spacious yet quite cozy with cool fireplace, outdoor shower and great hot tub. The pictures do not do this home justice at all. My friends and I enjoyed our stay and definitely hope to come back. Andrew was thorough and easy to communicate with. The whole experience was wonderful!!

We loved our stay at this cabin. It was cozy, comfy and special. The setting was gorgeous along the creek, nestled in the sequoias. The cabin itself was clean and nicely appointed with a great outdoor hot tub and shower. We appreciated the unique Japanese decor and homey touches, like the fence covered in heart-shaped rocks. And Raymond's Bakery down the street was a highlight of the trip. We'd love to stay here again someday.

I'm going to keep this short. Suffice to say, my instinct is to not even review this home because its so amazing that I selfishly don't want others to know about it. Seriously. This is one of the coolest, most relaxing and beautiful places I've ever stayed. It really earns its name because its truly out of a dream. And its professionally managed so it goes without saying that it is super well appointed and has everything you would need or want. Including an AWESOME DVD collection (I mean Donnie brosko?? Cmon!!).

We stayed for two nights and spent most of the day out and about around the area. The home is very cozy and the area is quit and peaceful. I definitely recommend as a beautiful getaway.

The reservation was canceled 27 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had a wonderful time at the Sequoia Beach Dreamery and hope to be back for another stay. The host provided all of the information we needed in advance for our group of four adults and a one-year-old baby. The house itself is very private, with a private beach on the creek and in walking distance of a small waterfall and lovely bakery. And the hot tub, surrounded by redwoods, is not to be beat. Also be warned that the power may go out if you're there during a storm (which it did for us) - so make sure you know how to get the fire going!

The Swquoia Beach Dreamery was such a unique experience. The level of attention to details is amazing -- as you keep looking around especially outside, you see more and more little things that add to the beauty of the place. You have a beautiful creek in the backyard! And a hot tub where you can look up and see the moon rising from the tall trees. Mesmerizing place. Beds are very comfortable, living room gives you ample and comfortable space, and the kitchen has everything you need. We could not ask for more. The owner was very kind to send us details about the area, trails, etc in advance. And, the staff at River Homes Russian River Vacation Homes were a joy to do business with. All in all, an A+ experience. You won't be disappointed!

The place is amazing. Gorgeous view, very private, located on the bend of a river and surrounded by big oak trees. The cabin and garden is designed with great taste and Japanese/zen style. We spend 5 days with our 2 kids, and we all had a great time. In fact, the place was so cozy we didn't leave it other than one day to visit the Colonel Armstrong Park (very recommended). I highly recommend and hope to visit again. Oz

The house is Rustic and very clean with a fantastic view!!

We traveled to Jenner for the first time to enjoy some relaxing time with our 6 year old. Dana's home was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The yard is well groomed and full of beautiful things to look at. The view is breathtaking, both river and ocean, from inside the house and on the deck. Dana kindly left snacks and treats for us and the house had everything we needed to make meals and our stay very comfortable. We enjoyed a day playing on the beach, a five minute drive from the house. Jenner is a short drive to Guernville where we found a good meal and delicious ice cream. We would definitely come back for a stay.

My wife and I loved staying at Dana's place in Jenner! It is a beautiful, clean home in a perfect getaway location for a long weekend.

This is better than described...we loved our stay. Everything was easy and the pictures don't do justice to the view. We especially appreciated some of the touches Dana provided: Coffee/coffee maker, food/drinks especially for us and even fresh flowers. We hope to return!

Amazing! This place was extremely clean, felt very homey, and the view was to die for. Dana kept great communication and responded quickly to my requests. She even left us a bottle of Champagne in the fridge. There was a great, organized binder containing information regarding anything and everything a person would want to know . I will be requesting another stay in the future. Thank you again Dana.

Dana's place was great (just as described and pictured), and communicating with her was so easy! She was so kind and such a gracious host. We can't wait to go back for another visit and explore the area more.
