About this property

Large home on private 14 acre redwood meadow

**FALL/WINTER** Notice: The only heat source for this home is a wood burning stove. Wood is provided in the shed behind the stove.

As you drive down the private driveway, this large home sits majestically in a serene redwood meadow with a beautiful deck, and garden. The home is spacious and has a large fully equipped kitchen with a commercial grade stove and beautiful granite counter tops. The dining room can accommodate large groups for memorable meals with your family and friends. The living room has vaulted ceilings, plenty of seating and large TV. Stairs lead to a large sleeping loft (considered to be 2 of the 3 bedrooms) The loft is separated by a partial wall and has 2 new Queen beds on each side, with views of the redwoods around you. In addition to the loft, there is a separate master suite with a king bed and private bathroom. Enjoy grilling on the large deck and take in the beautiful meadow and gardens.

New year in Gualala

Our group of family and friends have gathered here twice a year for several years. The large living room, kitchen and dining area give plenty of room to relax. The property is very private and quiet.

Great Location in the Woods

The house is nice and on a very nice wooded property that is quiet and private and is pretty much as described in the listing. There are a couple of crows that were hanging around and a rabbit also paid a visit. The beach and river is only a short drive away. We stayed in the area last year in Anchor Bay and really enjoy the area. You will need to make sure to bring toiletries and some kitchen items like sauces and ketchup and some seasonings. Bring mosquito repellent, it may have been that the weather was even warmer than normal out this way, but there were a lot of mosquitoes in the evenings aside from the last night we were there as it was much cooler. There are some windows missing screens as is one of the sliders, we found a small fan that helped pull in cool air at night and there are ceiling fans, if it is going to be especially warm I recommend bringing a couple of extra fans. I'm sure normally it isn't as warm as it was while we were there so this may not be as much of a thought normally, the beach didn't even have any fog until the last day we were there. The price is reasonable and is on our list as a place to possibly visit again. Thanks again!

Magnificent 8

We truly enjoyed our time in Gualala! The cabin was clean, and big enough to fit our family. It definitely was fun exploring the surroundings. The kitchen was fantastic for having family meals. It was super functional, and had a feel of old rustic farmhouse. Everything we needed for cooking was available. We were all able to be in the kitchen to help prep for breakfast and dinners. The kids had a blast up on the loft upstairs. The beds were quite comfortable. The big screen TV was awesome! The cell service was better at the house than in town. Thank you for letting us rent your place for our weekend adventure. It was incredible and we all decided to make it an annual summer tradition to come back. Next time, it’ll be longer than just 3 nights!

No complaints/read this one

My family (10 of us): including my older parents that stayed in the master suite, which was great and easy for them. I did read that there was not much privacy in the loft area, which is really not that big of a deal. There are 4 beds upstairs with 2 semi-private bedrooms, which was fine for us. We had a wide array of ages for children from 9 down to 18 months with us and it was perfect for our kids. The pictures on the site do not do the beauty of this place any justice. Absolutely beautiful property. We went in July and it was shorts and short sleeve weather at the property. A little colder as we got closer to the coast. Perfect distance to beach/water/ocean access. We were familiar with the area already and this location is just perfect. We brought a lot of our own toiletries and other stuff, but the place was fully stocked with everything. And there IS Wi-Fi in the house which is great for the kids. There is also satellite TV. Fully stocked kitchen. Seriously, no complaints here. I would do this again without question. Thank you so much Karen. You were great with communication. I have an ill mother and young baby and asked for an early check in for them, which was accommodated. Perfect EVERYTHING! Don’t think about it…just get it. The price is right!

Pleasant get away

Very private and quite location. It is near enough to the road that you do hear a passing car here or there but not a busy road and the sound is serene, with a sound of wind pushing through the treed canyon confuses you that you are closer to the ocean than you are. Inside very open floor plan with the onlybprivacy the master bed and bath. Fire place for the heat and a couple portable heaters for extra as needed. Fire kept house very warm. Nice kitchen, updated appliances. Beds were comfortable. Dryer was broke at the time of our stay but owner was made aware. There are no curtains anywhere in the house accept for the master bedroom, which lends to nice view of the setting every where in the house. Its a great place for a family with kids. The kids have a great area to explore and play out side. Would choose an ocen view location as well, however, the privacy of this home is definately unique and close enough to the twom and a few beachs. Would definately go back again.

Meadow Vista

This place is well preserved and shows a lot of love put into the grounds. We did notice that the dryer was not hooked up to the gas line and the exhaust was not working as well. Kind of a big deal if you have a family Maybe that can be repaire easily as we want to bring our Family up next time. Beauty out every window, peace and quiet and plenty of room to roam.. AWESOME STAY

Nice stay close to the beach but away from humans

This place was perfect for my family. We were comfortable and although this was during a record heat wave, the cabin stayed nice and cool all day. The queen beds upstairs were very comfortable and the view from up there is great.

Beautiful location

Property is beautiful and secluded, house was fine. All who slept on loft beds said they were very comfortable. The main bedroom mattress was a little hard, but not bad. Did not give five stars because there are no curtains in the house other than some very thin ones in main bedroom, including the very visible bathroom window. Also lacked any toiletries that all of my other VRBO homes have had (shampoo and soap). I would stay here again and do recommend it, but would just bring an eye mask and plenty of toiletries next time.

quiet respite

This house is in a redwood glade. The wood stove does a nice job of keeping the house warm. You need skills to build a fire. There is no kindling, so you collect twigs from the property. There is a full kitchen. Tv screen is huge. It has a lovely vista of the redwoods. It is a short drive to ocean and hiking at Sea Ranch. The ocean is beautiful.. Mendocino is more of a drive, but it is doable. We enjoyed our stay.

Great rustic cabin on lush wooded property.

This is an amazing and rustic gem in the redwoods above Gualala. The cabin is well furnished with a spacious layout. It easily accommodated our group of 6 adults although there is only one totally private bedroom. There are 3 other queen beds in an upstairs loft open to the living room. This is not a polished modern house like you might fund in SeaRanch but was perfect for our gathering.

About the host

Why they chose this property

Natives call it wa-LA-la. This comes from the Kashaya Pomo Indian phrase, "ah kha wa la lee" which means, "Where the water flows down", which makes sense--for the river goes out to the ocean right across from the center of town, right by that big sand bar where the whales stop for lunch every year. Enjoy Kayaking, hiking, fishing, swimming all nearby.

What makes this property unique

Close to Bower Park, the Gualala River, and the town of Gualala with access to beautiful beaches. The home itself is great for large groups with plenty of room to create cherished memories.
