About this property

Upscale Vintage Cabin with Huge Sunny Deck nestled in the Redwoods

Located along the Russian River between Guerneville and Healdsberg, this home will allow you to get away from it all while being close to all the things you want to do. Walking distance to Mother's Beach. Just about two miles from the nearest wineries and a short drive to Healdsberg or Guerneville.

With two bedrooms and two baths the home is ideal for two couples but will sleep 6 comfortably, 4 in two queen sized beds and 2 on a fold out air mattress sofa or 2 in a daybed with trundle located in the master (best for kids). We are limited by the county to 6 guest.

There is a gourmet kitchen with electric appliances including a dishwasher that is well stocked enough you can cook Thanksgiving dinner.

We have a 6 person hot tub on the deck under the redwoods and stars at night.

Internet/Wifi is strong and was clocked at 258Mbs with Mesh Router that reaches the far ends of the deck.

Also there is no central air conditioning but nights are usually cool and we do provide fans. We do have a Nest Cam that covers the parking area

Cute place in the Forest Hills

We really enjoyed our stay. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions we had. It does say there is 3 bedrooms however there are only 2 with one bedroom having 2 beds in the room. It was fine for us as we only had 2 couples but if you need the third bedroom it might be an issue. There was plenty of kitchen supplies and even though we didn't bring a dog there was supplies for a dog around the house.

Hidden gem

My family and I had a lovely stay and would definitely be coming back! The house was clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the outdoor deck among the redwood trees. We ran into an unexpected problem with the electricity from the weather, and Bhrett was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend this hidden gem among the redwood trees!

Great view felt like a treehouse

The home was comfortable. Master room is great second bedroom is very tight. Both beds were very comfortable and I have a bad back. Since there is no normal heat, it's heated by the fireplace as well as individual room heaters it's really important to get those going hours before your wanting to relax or you will freeze if it's cold. We arrived super late so first night was unbearably cold. Rest of stay was very comfortable once we were able to get a handle on the heat. Hot tub was great and very private. We saw a deer and her baby out the back one of the days so that was cool. Kitchen was great, has a drip coffee maker and filters at the home.

Felt like home - 5 stars

We spent Christmas with our daughter and her boy friend. This house was perfect for us. The house has been well loved, had everything we needed, and really grew (well) on us. You can tell the owners know how to take care of a house and how to have fun. The location was perfect for wine tasting and amazing hiking. The house is located up a mountain side and the neighborhood is strewn with cars and garbage cans all out on the street which is a little beat up. We arrived after dark and were a bit skeptical but in the light of day, it was only because the terrain is so vertical. The houses in the neighborhood are all well taken care of and it was very quiet, sitting in the hot tub, looking up at the redwoods, drinking fabulous wines, and getting to know a great young couple. Would come back in a minute.

Perfect weekend.

Stayed 3 nights at the property. The house was very clean, easy to find, easy check-in, and great communication with host. Property had all the amenities we wanted and a gas fireplace that worked wonders during a cold rainy weekend. Property also felt secluded from neighbors. Would highly recommend property and host.

Anniversary Weekend

Perfect location to relax and enjoy one another’s company, and close enough to nature and winery’s to get out for a few hours. And yes as described, you can cook a feast. We cooked two meals a day and I like to prepare a lot, was able to Prepare everything from scratch and the only thing I ever longed for was a meat thermometer ;-) Deck and view is PRIVATE and the spa and fire pit are perfectly enjoyable. I even had time to snag a nap in the Hammock! Beds are super comfortable and even when it was cold at night the space heater + fireplace fully warmed the house. 10/10 stay.

Tranquil place

The pictures had me thinking there were no other houses around which is not the case, but it still felt like it was in the woods. Seemed like lots of rules for the house which tends to make me less relaxed but the place really invites a calm. Clean house, well furnished and stocked. Cozy!!

Nice quiet retreat after a day of wine tasting

We enjoyed our stay very much. The hacienda was very clean, quiet, and had everything we needed. An evening in the hot tub after a day at wineries was great! The location is very convenient for numerous wineries, restaurants and bars. Make sure you get there before dark on your first night so you can get the lay of the land.

Woodsy Gem

Hanging out in a redwood grove on a large deck with hammocks, seating, and a hot tub? It doesn't get much better. The place was a delight. Our host was wonderful too. One of the members of our party left a valuable behind and they reached out to us about it right away. I highly recommend staying here. You won't be disappointed.

About the host

Hosted by Brett B

We live and work in San Francisco and love coming up to Sonoma to get the best of California. The food, the trees, the wine, the River. It might only be 60 miles away from the City but it feels like a different world when we are up there.

Why they chose this property

I loved the place from the moment I stepped foot inside the gate. The redwoods coming though the deck, the privacy, the old school redwood funkiness of it all. We spent 7 months remodeling to make the place shine and have contented to make it better every year.. I truly love the space and hope you do too.

What makes this property unique

Not far at all from River Road and Mothers Beach but far removed from it all. This is a great place to relax and reconnect. There is a very open floor plan with the living room, dining room kitchen and deck all connected. The bedrooms are tucked in the back off a more private deck.

There are great wineries, breweries, fine dining and hole in the walls that serve great food in every direction.

My favorite thing to do on a hot summer day is to stash a car downstream and walk to the beach and float the day away.
