Dog-friendly forest retreat among redwoods, walk to Hot Spot & Gualala River

Deep Woods Hideaway

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

A true forest retreat awaits at this blissfully private Sea Ranch home, a secluded coastal hideaway tucked among lush ferns and towering redwoods. It's a side of Sea Ranch you'll delight in exploring, with miles of nature trails - leading to the Gualala River and the Sea Ranch Hot Spot - practically outside your door.

Designed by Don Jacobs and built by Jack Richardson in 1978, this home sits on an oversize parcel of land that abuts quiet, open space. Walk down to the Hot Spot to barbecue and picnic in the afternoons, or head in the other direction to access the oceanfront Bluff Trail at dramatic Black Point Beach (two miles). You'll also be equidistant to the heated pools, tennis courts, and saunas at Ohlson and Moonraker (two miles), two of Sea Ranch's three recreation centers.

With its generous windows and skylights framing the redwood canopy, this split-level home fills you with the feeling of waking up in a treehouse. Unfurl your yoga mat in the loft upstairs, and step out onto the redwood deck afterward with your first mug of morning coffee.

There's no TV to distract you here, leaving ample time to read, play the provided board games, and reconnect with your loved ones. Prepare meals together in the well-equipped kitchen overlooking the woods, settle in for games of charades by the crackling fireplace, and use the high-speed WiFi to stay connected with friends and family back home. A private washer/dryer is provided for your convenience as well.

Relaxing & Quiet Forest Getaway

Beautiful place in the woods. Forest was lush and green and it was a short drive to the ocean where there were nice cool breezes and beaches to walk on. Enjoyed the amenities. Only issue was that we came from the Sacramento area and had not been advised as to where to pick up the welcome package before arriving.

Wonderful trees and quiet

We greatly enjoyed our week stay at Deep Woods Hideaway. The quiet of the forest and proximity of the trails are what we were seeking and what we found. The house was adequate especially given its affordability at the time we booked our trip. It surprised us that the bedroom was on the upper level separated from the bathroom and kitchen by a steep staircase. The dining and living room areas were on the entrance level which was downhill from the parking area and up a small staircase. Despite all this, it was lovely to see the trees from every room and we will likely return.

Best of both worlds!

This little cabin in the woods is a great spot to escape the heat as it is located in the middle of a dense forest of redwoods and ferns. There are forest trails nearby, but a short drive will also bring you to miles of ocean bluff trails and beautiful uncrowded beaches. One reviewer commented that they smelled mold, but I believe the scent is actually from the well-used fireplace. My friend's mountain cabin near Tahoe smells the same. And I could find no water damage at all in this home unlike many of the homes near the bluffs. If you like both the forest and the ocean, give this comfortable little gem a try. FYI - bring your own hairdryer.

6/10 Okay

Economical but lacked some basic comforts

Small cabin well situated for a getaway in Sea Ranch. Pluses were the low cost, clean interior and decently equipped kitchen and very quiet and peaceful setting among tall trees. Heat works very well. Negatives were a persistent smell of mold (not just dust from disuse)- it was faint but noticeable during the whole 3-day stay, even though we aired the place out. It was not bad enough for us to move out but others sensitive to allergens might have an issue with this. Not sure if this is seasonal because we came at the tail end of a lot of rain. Also the home does not get very hot water and gets pretty limited daylight due to being surrounded by tall trees and facing north. For these reasons I would not choose to stay here again but we had a good weekend despite these issues.
