Always Wonderful

I was here for the third time for a solo getaway and I had the best time! The place is just perfect for a long stay or a quick getaway, well-stocked, comfy beds, scenic forest setting for the hot tub whether you're enjoying the sunshine or peeking at the stars through the redwood canopy. The location is unbeatable if you want quiet, yet just-out-the-front -door access to the incredible Sea Ranch trail system.

Magical!

This wooded cabin has everything you need for an enchanting stay! This was our second time in this cottage and we just loved it! The huge trees just outside the dramatic windows are breathtaking, and the location can't be beat - a trailhead awaits just a couple of houses down. Kitchen is well stocked, the house is squeaky clean, beds are comfy, and fireplace is so nice after a day of exploring. We can't wait to come back!

A wonderful escape

We really enjoyed our short visit in this beautiful home. The location in the forest is serene and relaxing with easy access to the beach and great hiking trails. The home is clean and well-equipped and very quiet. Unfortunately the hot tub was not working during our visit so we look forward to returning again so we can try it out.

Cozy and warm spot in the redwoods

This was a great spot in the redwoods! The house was clean and well stocked with amenities. The two bedrooms were on the lower (ground) floor, but the living areas and front door were up the flight of stairs. There was a back door for entry at ground level.

Redwoods calm

Charming, serene home in the redwoods. Let the natural beauty soothe you. We felt like we were living among the trees. We enjoyed the peace and tranquility of this beautiful setting. A wonderful place to get away from it all. Plenty of hiking trails nearby and the gorgeous Sea Ranch community never disappoints.

We found Moonraker to be very comfortable for us and our two chihuahuas. The kitchen was well equipped to meet my cooking needs. The bluffs, beaches and hiking trails in the area were easy to access. The owner and her housekeeper were very attentive in checking in to make sure we had everything we needed to make our stay perfect.

What a beautiful spot. This house was spotlessly clean, well maintained and just perfect for our stay. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed to cook. My family had such a lovely time here and can't wait to stay again. Catherine is also very responsive to messages and seems to really care about her guests. I highly recommend staying here.

Memorial Day Weekend

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful weekend with lots of peace, quiet and privacy. There is plenty of room for 2 couples or a family with 1 or 2 children. The hot tub was sublime; the kitchen fully equipped; the decor was kitchy and fun. We can't wait to go back!

Great Redwood Escape

This is a special/spiritual property. Buried in Redwood trees. Five miles from SRL, way up in the private redwoods. We never left the property, after arriving. A great experience we will never forget. Fully furnished. I would definitely book again. Many Thanks. The Jacuzzi was awesome and much needed.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Salm

Host profile image
My parents purchased our family vacation home in 1990 after several years of renting homes on The Sea Ranch and searching for the perfect home for us.
My father wanted a house in the forest and my mother wanted something close to the ocean. This home is the perfect blending of the two.

Why they chose this property

We are blessed to be able to share our peaceful home with you. Since our house is located in the forest, we do not have the foot or road traffic the other places do. We rarely see people or cars in the area or on the trails nearby and appreciate the serenity.
The ocean, towns and beaches are close by to explore and there are plenty of things to do in addition to just quietly relaxing in the redwoods.
