AFFORDABLE "FLEXCATION" -- PERFECT for COUPLES

This peaceful cottage is an easy getaway for celebrating a birthday, anniversary, a dream come true ... or for creating new ones. It's perfect for couples or anyone who wants a break from kids, care-taking, or the hectic pace of modern life.

Sequoia Beach Dreamery offers a relaxing and comfortable experience that pleases guests -- and makes them want to return again and again. Plus, guests receive a discount for longer stays of 7+ nights.

"THE BEST GETAWAY WE'VE EVER TAKEN"

The FIVE-STAR reviews say it all: Guests love the hot tub and waterfront setting -- a private and sunny opening in the coastal forest. The property overlooks a sandbar beach and swimming spot on Big Austin Creek.

A recent guest wrote: "This is a perfect location, close to the coast and the Russian River wineries ... and secluded enough to make us feel like we got away. This is our new favorite place!"

The retreat is a bit off the busy tourist track, yet is easy to get to.

PROPERTY PROFILE: CREEK, BEACH, REDWOODS, CHARMING TOWNS, WINERIES & THE PACIFIC COAST

The owner’s attention to detail is legendary, with thoughtful touches that offer an ongoing sense of greeting. The home is tastefully decorated in the Craftsman style with Zen elements and Japanese art. It features a well-equipped kitchen, luxuriously remodeled bathroom with radiant-heat floors, comfy beds, cozy fireplace, and Smart TV entertainment options.

Light, airy bedrooms open directly onto a spacious deck with expansive views of the redwood forest, creek, and swimming hole.

FLEXIBLE: A second bedroom provides flexibility for two guests who do not sleep in the same room. The extra space is also set up to serve as an office for guests who work remotely.

A HALF-ACRE of PRIVACY

Outdoors, you’ll enjoy star-gazing from the hot tub, a gas BBQ and dining area, a unique hot-water shower at the base of soaring redwoods, a calming Japanese garden, and -- most importantly -- PEACEFUL INTIMACY WITH NATURE.

Year-round Austin creek is home to protected steel-head trout, giant blue herons, kingfishers, egrets, ducks, and playful river otters.

Guests love summer at The Dreamery, but the off-season is equally glorious. Summer visitors give way to waterfalls, and the atmosphere becomes even more peaceful. If you enjoy gentle pursuits like romancing, reading, writing, and relaxing, you'll love The Dreamery.

LOCATION, EXPLORATION, and ADVENTURE

The Dreamery is near the village of Cazadero in the Russian River/Sonoma Coast resort area -- just 90 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge.

An authentic "Country Store" and coffee shop/bakery are a quick walk or bike ride away.

It's a short drive to the Sonoma Coast where the Russian River meets the mighty Pacific Ocean. And even when the coast is foggy, you'll appreciate the sunny "banana belt" weather in this protected microclimate.

When guests are ready to explore, The Dreamery is close to a variety of experiences including casual and fine restaurants, charming country towns, world-class wineries, Armstrong Woods Redwood Preserve (tallest tree: 310 ft; oldest 1,400 years), Northwood golf course, Jenner by-the-Sea, and the breathtaking Sonoma beaches.

Sonoma County = Wine Nirvana. With 19 distinct appellations (AVAs), Sonoma has about twice the wine-producing acreage as neighboring Napa Valley. Its diversity of microclimates is second to none. More than 425 wineries -- all within easy day trips -- and 60 grape varieties ensure a wide range of wines and philosophies of wine-making. This is unparalleled among the world’s premium wine regions.

Outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, fishing, and biking abound in this eco-adventure paradise. And once you get here, you may not want to leave (ever!). Chances are you’ll come to think of it as your own dreamy getaway ... or your NEW BACK YARD.

Wonderful and Unique Stay by the Creek
We had a wonderful time at the Dreamery. Much needed for this busy couple who never gets a moment alone. Loved the atmosphere- inside and out. Andrew was a great host and so easy to communicate with. I only wish the cute little bakery was open down the street, but it seems we were too early in the season.for t

A Little Piece of Paradise
We book a 3 night stay for Valentine's Day Weekend. I am sure I am not the only person who wonders "Does the place I rented really look like the picture. After our stay at the Sequoia Dreamey, I can without a doubt say that every picture and everything word that is on the Vrbo website regarding the Sequoia Dreamey is absolutely true! This has without doubt has to be one of the cleanest and spectacular locations offered in this area of Northern CA. The bed is really comfortable, the amenities are fantastic and the peacefulness of the location (located right on the edge of a nice creek. The owner and their management team our hands down the best I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. While the weather for the weekend was not the greatest, we were still able to enjoy relaxing on the spacious deck and explored the nice beach area next to Austin creek. We are already looking forward to our next visit to this little oasis.If you get a chance, explore the town of Cazadero, the General Store is a great place to pickup most any forgotten items, and their deli is outstanding. One of the best sandwiches I have ever had and totally reasonable price wise.

Great romantic getaway!
My wife and I got away here for a weekend celebrating our anniversary. The place has a lot of genuine character! I can't put in words the serenity and peacefulness that you will feel at this place and there are many surprised all the way through the house. Explore their unique CD collection, make sure you take the walk to the nearby falls. If the water is warm, the river would be great to take a dip in! The hot tub set in between the redwoods is beyond compare.

Relaxing Getaway
The home and property were just as described—perfect for a relaxing, peaceful getaway. All information was provided beforehand, and there was consistent, helpful communication throughout our stay. Plenty of food and supply options are within a 20-minute drive. The birdseed was such a cute idea—we loved feeding the little chickadees (who were not afraid of getting close to us!). Thanks for a great stay!

Amazing tranquility
I don’t want to leave five stars for fear that more people will book this place, realize as we did how amazing it is, and then we won’t be able to return as often as we’d like. However, we must leave the appropriate rating and that rating is superb! This place was exactly as advertised. Such a wonderfully tranquil place to unplug and unwind. We will certainly be back.

I don't want to have to compete with others to get to stay here. I've visited here for maybe 20 years, on and off. I want to keep it a secret, like a good restaurant.

I’m almost speechless at the natural beauty of the property. Every last bit of our stay was delightful. An immersive sanctuary of nature and comfort. Birds, fish, the smell of the trees and sound of the creek. The home itself was comfortable at every turn. We wanted for nothing. It’s a giant hug with a view to die for. You are close to a wonderful general store as well as an amazing bakery. 10/10 booking our next stay!

It doesn’t get better than this!
We just finished our 4th stay at the Dreamery. I can’t speak highly enough about this place! Beautiful, serene location that’s close enough to everything yet far enough away from the crowds. The cabin itself is beautifully appointed, inside and out. Soaking in the jacuzzi nestled amongst the redwoods, BBQ’ing dinner with a view of the Creek, enjoying cozy art projects and card games inside after the sun goes down… Everything about this place is perfect. We’ve made so many amazing memories here in our visits over the years- we can’t wait for the next time we get a chance to come back! Check in was smooth. We had everything we needed in the thoughtfully furnished cabin. Communication with the owner was prompt and effective. Any small maintenance issues that came up were quickly addressed. Highly recommend!

Great Hideaway for a relaxing "down" week
The Japanese elements were much appreciated and made my wife nostalgic for the Japan she grew up in as a girl. It is a wonderful place and appreciate all the thought of the elements, decor and beauty of the setting. Some noise down the creek from neighbors kids but attribute that just getting out of school and not a regular thing. Convenient to town and the Jenner Beaches. Overall 5 stars.

Perfect zen getaway
This place is exactly as described, but the pictures don't show you the immense beauty of the property. The sequoias truly are amazing, and they are everywhere! The views from the hot tub are just spectacular. The entire zen vibe is felt throughout the home, and the entire area. We visited wine country, the Armstrong Redwood Reserve, and the pacific coast highway 1. This area is so beautiful, and the scenery changes every 30 minutes! There are so many scenic drives you can take. Inside this home is well equipped, everything was in good working order and it was very clean. The extra touches by the owner add to this wonderful getaway experience! The informative notes and info book by the owner we found very interesting and helpful. Drink the Water! It is clear, and delicious. And if not for the owner's note encouraging us to drink it, we would never have even tried it. They left us a bottle of wine, 2 glasses and candles. So when we arrived much later than expected (flight got cancelled) and well after dark on our anniversary, we had a nice relaxing drink and settled in. We would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking to get away from it all and just relax among the sequoia trees.

Christmas week at the Dreamery!
We had a wonderful stay over Christmas! The weather was a bit chilly so we really enjoyed the hot tub and the fireplace! And we were happy to see a couple of Christmas decorations in the living area! It was a short drive to the coast where there had been some major off-shore storms creating tremendous waves! So fun to watch! The back road to Fort Ross was a great drive! We had a major rainstorm one day and the creek rose about three feet - nice to watch! Thanks for a great stay! Carol & Dave Plano, Tx

About the host

Hosted by Andrew (or Russian River Vacation Homes)

Host profile image
I must have been an innkeeper in a previous life because I love stewarding this tranquil retreat for folks who want to slow down, reconnect with nature, and share intimate time with a loved one. I named the property “Sequoia Beach Dreamery.” Guests LOVE this place. And their guest book comments remind me how much I enjoy both the peaceful setting and its closeness to all that this magical part of northern California has to offer.

Why they chose this property

The first time I drove along Big Austin Creek I fell in love with the setting. I searched for a year until I found the sweetest spot offering views up and down the creek. I had looked at properties right on the Sonoma coast, but found them to be windy and foggy too much of the time. But the Dreamery is in a protected 'banana belt' micro-climate -- just one coastal range removed from the ocean. I chose Cazadero because it’s off the touristy circuit, yet close enough to enjoy the coastline (15 min), the Russian River (10 min), and wine country attractions. Santa Rosa airport is 45 min. away and it's only 98 min. to the Golden Gate Bridge (I timed it!). You'll be close to world-class amenities and everything this eco-adventure region has to offer.

What makes this property unique

We’ve given special attention to creating a calming atmosphere with extra touches that offer an ongoing sense of “Greeting.” Our goal is to delight guests who seek a break from the fast-paced urban scene. Visit the Dreamery, fill your lungs with fresh country air, and feel the Calm.
