Serenity is a great way to describe this place. It's very quiet except the sound of the ocean, so peaceful. When we were there we didn't see anybody in the neighboring houses most of which are blocked by trees. It's very cabin in the woods meets ocean. The main room is beautiful with the huge windows. The kitchen is very big and one of the best views in house is while standing at the sink. Biggest downside was that there were a lot of trees everywhere that blocked much of the ocean view. You really only get a small portal to see the ocean, definitely not a panoramic view. Also the hot tub is separate from the house up a stone path about 50 feet away. The property is not great for sunbathing since it's mostly in shadows due to the trees.

This rental was fantastic. The photos did not do it justice. Expensive as can only accommodate 6 people, but worth it to spend the weekend in luxury. Would rent again

We had an excellent time at the Timber Cove house! It was the perfect getaway for a team retreat of ours, the pictures don't do it justice. The view was beautiful and Tony did an amazing job of making sure we were fully accommodated. We relaxed, ate dinner and played some of the board games at the house. Easy drive from SF. Would return anytime!

Tony was a great host and the house was amazing. We had a great weekend on the coast with beautiful views and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Definitely recommended.

This home is awesome and Tony was a gem. We stayed for 2 nights and wanted more! Make sure to walk down and catch the sunset over the cliffs, go mushroom hunting at Salt Point, and use the sauna and hot tub on the deck!! The fireplace warmed the home so nicely and made it cozy. We utilized the overly stocked kitchen and made several gourmet meals in the big kitchen. A wonderful time!

Loved everything about this place, especially the location, hike to beach, and hot tub. Highly recommended and the pictures really don't do it justice like the other reviewers said.

Beautiful home with a view of the ocean from the house. You don't get a full 180 degree view of the ocean because you're not right on the water, and you're about 200 feet from the cliff overlooking a bay. You can see some ocean from the house, but walk for one minute and you're right on the cliff. The house was great and I would stay here again.

I stayed with friends and family at Tony's beautiful abode for one night, while we visited the California coast and we wish we could have stayed longer. The amenities we just at described and we used the jacuzzi and grill with a short walk and view of the beautiful coast line. Check-in/out was extremely easy and Tony was so nice to work with and prompt to respond. He even called to let us know we could check-in early, which we ended up taking advantage of. I'd definitely head back for another stay.

Anthony was a great host, was very friendly and also showed us a local place to dive! Thanks again Anthony!

My girlfriends and I wanted to do a 1night stay on the Sonoma Coast, so this was a perfect choice for us. Anthony was responsive almost immediately and reached out to me as soon as the transaction went through. He provided us with an info sheet of details so we could prepare for our trip. Very helpful! The house itself was pretty big, and more than enough room for the 6 of us. We loved the fully stocked kitchen and that there were adequate utensils and crockery for our big dinner. Everything in the house was clean and functioning, but we all actually ended up only using the main ensuite because it was bigger and more comfortable. My girlfriends also used the hot tub but didn't try the little sauna. The beds were surprisingly comfortable so we all got the much needed rest; most of us are creatures of comfort and usually do not like the beds in rental properties. Overall, we enjoyed the stay, but wished the weather had been better so we could have hiked down to the beach.

This place was perfect! Great, comfortable, very clean apartment. Warren was a fantastic host -- stocked us up with fresh made bread and jams, and milks and coffee. Such a nice, pleasant guy to interact with. Very peaceful, very relaxed place to see in a great location. Perfect way for me to spend my diving weekend, and my wife's birthday. 6 stars to this place, all the way.

The cottage is located near Fort Ross on the Sonoma coast, close to Salt Point State Park and Armstrong Woods. There are breathtaking views and beautiful trails right in the vicinity of this cottage. The cottage is spacious and airy, looking out into a park-like setting with tall redwood and deer roaming. Warren was most helpful and generous. We found fresh bread, milk, orange juice, yogurt, homemade jam and a basket of fruits waiting for us. The two bathrooms made it super convenient. A superb experience to be remembered.

Margaret and Warren have a beautiful home. I took my parents here for their birthday, and we were all pleased with this choice. There are beautiful ocean views from the bedroom and living room and a small hill behind the property for better viewing. We were visited by deer in the morning. It felt very secluded but close enough for easy day trips to Jenner, Fort Ross, and Bodega Bay. I would recommend getting there during the day, as driving that portion of highway 1 was slightly tricky at night.

Fantastic stay with Warren and Margaret. The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Loved their apartment. It was very peaceful and had everything we needed. Highly recommend this place!

We had a very relaxing family get away here. This is a lovely spot to visit on the coast - even in the winter rains. We enjoyed the beach and nearby Fort Ross, as well as lazing around the unit, playing family board games and enjoying Margaret's delicious fruit and nut loaf and jams. A cozy get-away.

I am jealous of you, the reader, because you are going to have the most pleasant surprise when you get to this heavenly place. It is so much more than the pictures provided. The location is more secluded than you think, the house is bigger than you think, the nut loaf bread is tastier than you think. This place has everything you may possible desire in a b&b and then some. It even comes with no cell phone signal of any kind - free of charge !!! wireless fidelity is so slow and limited that you'll turn OFF all your devices and will proceed to entertain yourself as humans used to before electricity was invented. You will no longer need to watch cat videos on YouTube as you'll have three live cats running around outdoors with you. There is a hammock, badminton, beach, forest. You'll never want to leave. Drop everything and go there now !!!

My sister and I had a wonderful time at the Red Door B&B! It was a beautiful location and an adorable space. We were super impressed with the all of the breakfast items that were provided and were surprised by all of the different choices! It made mornings so much more relaxed for us. The delicious freshly baked bread upon our arrival was amazing. Thanks so much for sharing your space with us. We had a marvelous time!

Phenomenal people and place !

Everything was great! House, views, just as expected.

Beautiful, peaceful

Stunning property on the Northern California coast. The remoteness and lack of cell phone service offer a freedom often lost in the hustle and bustle of city life. The house feels like home and Lisa was a wonderful host. We will absolutely be staying here again in the future.

Lisa was the quintessential host, very accommodating, responsive, caring... and the place was every bit as extraordinary as the photos. Would come back in a heartbeat. Five stars!

This is a great house in a beautiful location with an amazing drive. Lisa was great to work with and was very accommodating with our more last minute reservation. Can't say enough about her working with us. Will definitely be back for a longer stay. Come prepared with everything you need as running out for things will take a bit and once you're there you won't want to leave.

Ocean Hideaway is beautiful and amazing and Lisa was a very gracious host. She called after our arrival to make sure everything was ok and we had everything we needed. The house is secluded with amazing views. I loved waking up in the master bedroom and looking out on the ocean through the large window. What a great way to start the day! The smell of the air outside is intoxicating. If I could find a way to bottle that scent of brine and pine I definitely would. The hot tub is wonderful on cool, clear nights. There is zero light pollution so we could see every star in the sky as we relaxed in the hot tub with non-breakable cups of wine. Nearby Fort Ross State Park is amazing and Jenner and the upstream river towns are fun to explore. We came to Ocean Hideaway after a few days inland spent in Santa Rosa, St. Helena, Napa. We visited numerous vineyards but none could compare to Fort Ross Vineyard just up the mountain from Ocean Hideaway. The difference in climate was surprising--cool and breezy by the water but hot and still at the vineyard above the fog line. Our brief stay at Ocean Hideaway was magical and I have already referred a friend. I hope we can come back someday!

Beautiful home, & beautiful location overlooking the ocean with a hot tub to enjoy in the evening and mornings. Lisa is a very friendly host that communicates quickly and effectively. The Fort Ross store is only a mile away which came in handy after we decided to stay for an extra night. Great getaway! We would absolutely return again!

Lisa was very organized and accommodating with our last minute request to spend one night at Ocean Hideaway. The view and the privacy really were the draw for us. The house is pretty basic, and although the style and some of the fixtures- including the shower head- are from the 70's, it is a clean and bright space. The outdoor hot tub is very nice. If you plan on doing your own cooking, you may want to check with Lisa first as to what supplies she does and does not have in the kitchen. A simple upgrade to a set of wine glasses and more plates and bowls would be great.

We spent the 4th of July weekend with friends at Anne's beautiful home. We could not have been more comfortable and pleased with our stay. The house is extremely well-appointed and stunning beyond belief. The setting is incredibly peaceful and could not recommend it enough for someone wanting to take in some of California's beautiful coastline. We hope to return soon and often.

The view was just as pictured.

There were flowers waiting for us when we arrived. We were looking for peace and quiet and felt like we were on a secluded island during our stay.

Beautiful location...the view is even more breathtaking in person! Spacious and comfortable home with all the amenities you need. Responsive and helpful host. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The house was exceptional! The view is second to none. I can't wait to return.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this listing. Everything about the the house was exactly as described in the listing except one thing: the view of the ocean was even more amazing that it seemed it would be from the pictures. :) The folks at Jenner Vacation Rentals were very nice, helpful, and communicative throughout the process. I would highly recommend both the listing and the host(s).

We loved the views and decks. The place was clean and well kept.

The place was so beautiful and it was so nice staying there for the weekend! Would definitely recommend!

I did not stay here personally but sent my parents here for their 40th anniversary. They were not able to show up the first night because my mom was really sick but came for the last 3 days. They said they had an amazing time and it was hard for them to leave. They told us we had to rent this house sometime for ourselves. The pictures do make it appear like it's on the bluff overlooking the ocean and that's what I thought but it is actually set back farther than what the pictures show.

Michael was a great host. Directions & info in house were great. He left complete instructions & restaurant and beaches in vicinity. We had a very peaceful and lovely stay. The house is unique, comfortable and easy! Thank you!

The Beardsley house at timber cove has many impressive features: interesting mid-century modern / Japanese-style architecture, a huge, gorgeous deck with hot tub, ocean views, an enormous warm hearth and plenty of room for six people. It is just down the road from Salt Point, one of the coolest coastlines in CA. Michael was very thorough and we had no problems with communication. We had a great time getting away from the city! Some details about the amenities to note: the house is definitely a semi-rustic cabin with thin walls but no windows that open, meaning that the smoke from the fireplace and cooking smells (no hood) from the kitchen quickly fill up the house; one bathroom isn't enough for six people; there is no garbage disposal or dishwasher; you cannot easily walk down to Timber Cove because the nearby coastline is privately owned; the house is old and while some details have been updated, many details have fallen into disrepair (the shower curtain kept falling on us for example...). While we were a little disappointed that the cabin didn't have more creature comforts, it was still a very cool experience, given the funky, unique layout of what is clearly a well-loved family cabin and its amazing location. Which, by the way, is not actually in Jenner, but is about 45 minutes north.

We had a great time. The house was accommodating, albeit a bit cold given the lack of insulation and the extensive windows that made the place bright and cheerful. The panoramic views of the surrounding, along with the lush greenery of the spring after a wet winter, resulted in a tranquil and serene stay.

This house was a great rustic escape! The two closest restaurants are both delicious with amazing views. The user guide for the house was very complete and left little to chance. It was a little chilly, but if you light the second iron fireplace the house will heat up quite nicely. The scenery was breathtaking and I would definitely stay up here again. Just a note, it is a little further from the town of Jenner proper than I anticipated so I would definitely make sure you aren't nearly on empty like I was (doh!). I would recommend bringing a badminton set, board games, and maybe a few extra blankets or towels. Other than that everything you need is there, including a coffee maker! I highly recommend drinking your morning coffee in the hot tub while you look out onto the ocean peeking out of the majestic trees. There is also TONS of space in the living room, enough for your whole group to do yoga if you wanted!

This is a beautiful, unique home, and a great place to get away with a small group. Very reasonably priced too. We spent a relaxing few days here and really enjoyed lazing about reading and cooking, and exploring the nearby coastline. My only minor complaint is that none of the windows open so the only way to let fresh air in is to leave the doors open, which don't have screens.

We had a great time. Perfect way to spend the holiday with friends. The charm and location make the cabin an amazing place.

Though there were some problems that came up,I really appreciated the fast communication of the owner. The house was build very unique and I there were a lot of beaches close by. The actual house was in its own secluded, and it was nice going up there with some friends. Overall a beautiful place to stay.

Beautiful location. Nice home and hot tub. Know how to build a fire as you will be relying on it for heat.

Our family of four had a wonderful and peaceful stay here. An easy distance from San Francisco, it was the perfect first stop on our California coast adventure!

My girlfriends and I had a wonderful experience staying at this cabin in the woods. A beautiful house with a warm ambiance. I would highly recommend this listing!

Lovely cabin in a beautiful and private setting. Quiet and clean. Nice views of trees and we enjoyed exploring the property. The living space is cozy, for example, the living room has seating for four in front of the fire (our group was five adults so it would need another comfortable arm chair to have met our space needs). And its listed to fit 8. We found it challenging to figure out how to use the high tech coffee maker and also the expresso machine (which we did not use).

A wonderful, truly cozy cabin tucked into the redwood trees... a perfect, secluded location if you are looking to get away for a couple of days. There was a large rainstorm (biggest in a decade) that came through at the end of our stay. the local manager was nice enough to call the morning we were supposed to check out, provided some guidance on what roads were closed, and even offered to let us stay the day until the roads reopened. A great find for the price.

Great cabin in an awesome location. The place was clean, and is perfect for a group of 4-8 people. Highly recommended. Evolve Vacation Rental was super friendly and responsive throughout.

Awesome place to Enjoy nature

Beautiful log cabin in a very peaceful setting. It was cool the weekend we were there so we had a great excuse to use the outdoor fire pit and the indoor fireplace. Our dogs had a blast checking out the large property. The main property is not fenced, but it was rare to see a car go by, so they had surrounding areas to inspect also. We really appreciated that they have a doggie door that leads out to an enclosed area. The owners have a wonderful selection of books to enjoy. We will definitely book a stay there again.

The house was great and I loved the private feel of the property. It is actually about 40 minutes past Jenner though, so be sure to account for that in your plans. Having two full beds so close together was also a little uncomfortable and I do wish they would re-think the furniture configuration of that bedroom. We really enjoyed the fireplace (but bring your own wood) and that they had good cookware.

diane is lovely, and thought of everything. it was like we were guests at a b and b without the hostess being physically there. she was thoughtful, pre-emptively reached out to confirm times and locations, and was available to us over our stay. she even gave us welcome call shortly after we arrived. the cove house is absolutely charming! stunning dramatic views, immaculately clean, cozy, has character, warmth, and feels LIVED in. it was my step mother's favorite house EVER she is 72 and has traveled the world, including a handful of air bnb's. really cannot say enough about the location charm and comfort of the home. so imagine i just went on and on. and, a few bit of information to form your expectations. the guest loft is quite open, not good to change, or for any quiet. i was woken every morning at 6am by the water and cofffee going in the kitchem below. ther are no closets or places to keep clothes either so you have to go down the spiral staircase for everything. it's for young and energetic guests i'd say. also keep in mind there is only one shower. it's in the downstairs so you have to be comfortable sharing. these were exlipsed entirely by the amazing home and garden and outdoor shower and pool and true appliances and LOVE of the place. but it is good to be mentally ready! one more positive note, if you are a hiker, runner, shroomer, or just lover of views, you cannot beat the location. salt point is 10mins north fort ross 10mins south. and the house has fast wifi too! i actually 'worked' on monday : ) cheers

Great stay! House was amazing and host was highly responsive.

I'm so thankful I got a chance to experience this beautiful home. This house is great for getting away and unplugging. Thanks so much to Diane for the fresh champagne and eggs!

50th Birthday Experience at Diane's exceptional home was spectacular! We wanted for nothing! The house itself is fully equipped with quality amenities and everything one would need for a day, week or month stay. Waking up and going to sleep to the sound of the ocean, birds and seals was the best way to start and end the day. Diane was kind, helpful, and genuinely sweet. She provided an abundance of information about the area and offered precise directions, as well as estimated driving times, to various places to explore. We lunched at the Timber Cove Inn (a must visit even if for only a cocktail), and were able to explore the many places to hike in the area. But then we'd rush back to the house to just laze around the beautiful abode, and take in the beauty that surrounded us. My husband and I travel frequently and when it comes time to leave a particular place, we often feel we have had our fill and are ready to go. But not with this place. It was very hard to close the door and leave this wondrous place behind. We are so thankful for Diane and Chris - they and this house are what makes Airbnb a solid choice for a creative way to find beautiful places to stay. We offer up our extreme gratitude to them! Stay here!

Amazing. What a special, special location and house.

Diane was a great host. She had everything ready upon arrival, and did a great job contacting me beforehand. The views from the house are stunning, and the place is very well designed and cared for. I would love to return.

The Cove House was an overwhelming natural experience. The house offers everything you could wish for. The hot tub and the pool with the view overlooking the ocean amazed us every day anew. Many thanks to Diane, who, with her loving kind, always stood by for all our questions and needs. We will definitely return.

What a wonderful place to visit! Diane was the perfect host, covering all the bases for a getaway on the Sonoma Coast. She made the whole process effortless and added little touches of graciousness. We took advantage of the local trails along the bluffs, but mostly just enjoyed the stunning view of the cove and the displays of the Stellar's jays, ospreys, turkey vultures, and resident harbor seal. We look forward to returning again!

Wonderful place to be!

Everything worked out great. It is a beautiful property and has awesome views and cats.

Ben welcomed us in to his beautiful property at a moments notice. My girlfriend and I were traveling from Northern California back to LA and wanted to camp out on the coast. Being Labor Day weekend , we feared all camp sites would be booked. Looking to air bb we found bens site and booked immediately. The beauty is an understatement. It's nestled in a cove in the northern part of the town of Jenner. The waves crashing against the shore with pine trees and eucalyptus scattered through out. I had never paid for camping before but having a little space to yourself is truly worth it . Ben was very accommodating and answered any and all questions we had. I recommended staying at this space.

Loved the cats, the view, and everything else about this place. Cole was nice and very accommodating. Simone was the most lovable cat I've met by far. Will definitely be back again!

This campsite is amazing and Ben is a great host. Friendly cats are an understatement... they are super welcoming and add to the site. Hope to be back soon.

I would give this listing four stars overall - the location of the campsite itself is stunning and, being set a little distance from the main house, private. Be aware that you'll need to walk up/down a sloped path to get from the main house/your vehicle to the campsite; it's not difficult as long as you don't have any mobility issues, but it's something to be aware of. The site is located on a beautiful bluff; the fire pit has a bench facing the ocean and the tent site is grassy with plenty of space. There are a couple of very friendly cats who met us on arrival and were more than happy to share our fire (there's a commercial campground with a general store a few minutes further along the road toward Jenner; we bought our firewood there.) The main house was what I would term 'dorm clean' - which is to say, not filthy but not super clean. There are two caretakers living in the main house, and it felt less like we were sharing the space than that we were invading their home, so we elected to skip using the kitchen or shower. As long as you're cool with a very rustic experience, I would definitely recommend the campsite; the location is gorgeous and private and suited us well for a single night. Longer stays requiring cooking or bathing might not have worked as well for us, but everyone's mileage will vary on that point.

Great campsite with amazing view! Hosts were friendly. It was nice to have access to the kitchen and bathroom as well.

We were welcomed, easy to find, great communication

Wonderful house with great views and well equipped kitchen – just as the listing described. Janet and Fred were very easy to communicate with.

Stated location is not accurate, please give accurate location and address. Also in the posting, please state that beach access is not possible. Rate is too high for a comfortable yet relatively basic home with no beach access. Beds were comfortable, and the place is nice, and clean. Kitchen was well equipped. Living room was comfortable. You are just asking too much for what you are offering especially in September.

Clean and spacious home with all required amenities. Spectacular ocean views (mildly marred by RV campground in the bluff across the cove). Very quiet in spite of proximity to Hwy. 1. Hosts were extremely attentive to our questions, needs and concerns and immediately responsive. The heating system was somewhat temperamental, not a serious matter in August (although it was 50-65 F outdoors) but could have been in winter. The gas fireplace in the dining room was not operative; our hosts were made aware and indicated that it will be fixed. The wood burning stove was quite difficult to start and went out midway through one of the two nights. This is a great "getaway from it all" location, but we would have preferred to have known that there was no TV cable access (the Olympics were on) and that the internet access is very slow and limited by metered data usage.

Beautiful home and view!

Awesome view, but didn't feel private due to being located right on highway 1 (noise from cars passing by, window facing the road with no curtains) and due to the house next door. The kitchen is nice, but the house itself is average and sparse in decor. I found the balcony to be uninviting due to the lack of privacy and the railing blocking the view. Awesome hikes and ocean views nearby if you want to get out of the house.

We loved staying at the Blue Water Vista house in Jenner. It was everything we needed in house. Large kitchen, 2 separate rooms and separate bathrooms. The views were gorgeous. Thank you for letting us stay!

We had a wonderful week and were able to make daytrips from this location up North to Sea Ranch and Mendocino, inland to Healdsburg, and to the South to Bodega Bay. The kitchen was exceptionally furnished and we made gourmet dinners nightly. Both couples were impressed with the comfortable beds. We saw whales directly from the deck and thought we identified sea otters on the rocks below the 1st day. Fred was very responsive and we thoroughly enjoyed the selection of games and movies once the sun went down.

Awesome place !!! As described, Very responsive hosts and very friendly, great communication. Definitely one to do again !

Marie was a wonderful host! She was so easy to talk to and wanted to make sure that our stay was perfect. Her home was absolutely beautiful and filled with unique furniture and antiques. Her special touches are evident all throughout the property. It was the perfect quiet getaway. We enjoyed sitting in the hot tub with a glass of wine under the stars. When we arrived, the fireplaces were on and everything was so cozy. We will definitely make Sanctuaire an annual tradition. I can't wait to return to this special, amazing place! Thank you, Marie for the best birthday/anniversary weekend I could hope for!

The stay at Marie's was one of the most relaxing and wonderful experiences. Thank you!!

Marie was a gracious host. She gave us absolute privacy, but she was available to handle any issues. The house is great. The grounds are serene. I'd highly recommend it. Perfect for couples.

My family and I had a very nice stay at Sanctuaire. The property is very beautiful and secluded. The house is well equiped and comfortable for five people. We stayed for two nights and it was very cosy and warm even though it was really cold out. We enjoyed the wood stove and the living space where we played games and read books. The kitchen was very nicely set up to allow us to cook some nice meals and enjoy the property. The hot tub was very hot and affords some nice views and great star gazing. The thermostat needs to be replaced to make it a little easier to control the temperature. The water on the property is also really good and cold. If you a seeking a retreat to chill out and relax than Sanctuarie is the place to go. Thanks Marie for making the place available! Best. Peter

Lovely location, beautiful house, overbearing owner mostly forgiven on account of holiday madness. Though she did try to claim we damaged the stove (we did not) and failed to produce any photos of the alleged damage. Perhaps a simple misunderstanding.

Such a zen place. From the beautifully decorated house to the serene landscaping; everything was just beautiful.

The place was beautiful. Highlights were definitely the pool and hot tub, along with the view. The house was comfortable and everything in working order. No wine glasses, which I thought was a bit odd for a house in Sonoma County, but we made do! Overall a great experience. The one thing that was off-putting was the "interview" the host put me through before giving me the address to the house...after I had already booked and paid. Sorry, but this is something that if you feel necessary to do you should do before the person books. I felt like I was being talked to by a parent...making sure I was the "right fit" and that no partying was going to be happening, what my plans were while staying, where I planned to go, what drew me to choosing your home to rent, etc. etc. Again, this is AFTER I paid. After looking forward to visiting the Russian River, and telling her this was part of my plan, she said something to the effect of that not being a good choice and that I should go to the coast instead. (URL HIDDEN) This really detracted from the excitement I was feeling about getting away for a couple days with my girlfriends. I understand wanting to talk to the person renting your house, but (URL HIDDEN) this before they book. It was uncomfortable. Finally, after a 15 minute conversation, Marie decided I was good enough to give the address to! Very frustrating and in my opinion, rude. On the PLUS side, Marie did not enforce a strict check out time, so we were able to sleep in, and she did not disturb our stay one bit. I think if you book this place you just have to be prepared to be vetted in an awkward way. It's one thing to offer directions and give some helpful tips about the area, but it's another to make me answer 20 questions after paying $600+ for a weekend stay, and only providing the address after I "passed" her test.

Marie took good care of us just as she takes good care of her house. I highly recommend staying here if you want some quite and relaxation.

We had a great stay. The host answered any questions we had promptly. The house itself is stunning, inside and out. We had a great stay and won't hesitate to stay again.

Olyver's cabin was a perfect getaway!! The cabin is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Although it is on the main road in Cazadero, it feels secluded and is a lovely place to relax and soak in the surroundings. Highly recommend a staying in this lovely little cabin!

We enjoyed our stay at Olyver's cabin and made great use of his fire pit and outdoor string lights in the evening hours. Walkable distance to the general store in case anything was forgotten at the last minute. Cooking in the kitchen was very easy and the shower in the bathroom was luxurious as advertised. Thanks again Olyver!

Olyver's place is charming, cozy, and beautiful-- perfect for a weekend getaway. Olyver also reached out to make sure we had all the info we needed for a great stay. Will definitely stay here again.

I booked Olyver's cabin for a last minute, spontaneous birthday getaway that could leave me secluded from technology and the grind of daily life, but close enough to the Bay Area that this could be a quick trip. Was not expecting such a glorious weekend in such a special place. Olyver's style is unparalleled and everything about the cabin is homey. We expected to stay in due to the projected rain, but instead we got to spend the days exploring and the nights cozy. The kitchen is beyond equipped, the fire is dreamy, and little Cazadero is pretty perfect. Looking forward to my next visit!

Olyver's place was a wonderful retreat. It was calm, peaceful, and also very close to Jenner & Duncan Mills which are two of my favorite places. You can see the attention to detail and craftsmanship that was put into this place. Also, the lighting when you wake up in the morning is something truly special. Would highly recommend!

Had a lovely time at Olyver's peaceful cabin. The design of the interior is wonderful--the space was light-filled even on a rainy day and the wood burning stove was awesome. There were two houses and the road nearby that I didn't expect from the listing, but it was still very quiet and there was a nice little creek right by the house. Great proximity to hiking at Armstrong Redwoods Preserve!

We had an excellent stay at Olyver's place. The cottage is beautifully crafted with a supreme attention to detail. So often 'rustic' is code for 'worn' on AirBnB, but in this case it's a perfected aesthetic. The place is not completely secluded, but it feels secluded as the view from every room is a forrest and nature. I would go again tomorrow if I had the opportunity.

Great little cabin. Very cool decor. The host was very kind. He even showed us around the house when we first arrived because he happened to be helping a neighbor.

We had a really wonderful stay! Mark was a great host, gave us the right amount of privacy but checked in and was available for questions etc. And breakfast was awesome - nothing feels more like vacation than warm pastries and coffee dropped off in the morning. Beautiful quiet spot on the Russian River... we'll be back!

This is a gorgeous little cabin nestled in the beautiful redwood forests of Cazadero. There's no kitchen in the cabin, but there is a shared fire pit on the property and Mark's bakery offers delicious treats when it's open. Ufortunately, we didn't get to stay the entire week we'd planned, but we loved the cozy home-away-from home for the night we spent — and Mark was extremely helpful and understanding about our necessary change of plans. It's a wonderful space in a spectacular part of woodsy California. We'll definitely be staying longer the next time we're in the area — and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet retreat in the Russian River Valley.

After a long work week, my husband and I embarked on a lovely two hour drive from San Francisco to the beautiful Elim Grove. Communication prior to arrival was excellent, and we were given detailed directions to the cabin- no GPS needed! Mark is a great and attentive communicator. We pulled up around 8pm and were surprised to find that Raymond's Bakery was hoppin'! There was live music going on (an adorable little folk group that played original songs as well as some covers that you can't help to sing along to), and the bar was packed! Elizabeth warmly greeted us and offered to buy us a round of beers. We were treated to more beers and pizza as we watched the music. After enjoying some of the best pizza OF ALL TIME, we found our way to the creekside cottage, which truly is just a stones throw away from a babbling creek. Charming doesn't even cut it- the property is beautiful. That evening we sat outside of the cottage and admired the stars. Living in SF, we rarely have the opportunity to see the sky unencumbered by city lights. The rest of our weekend was very pleasant. Elim Grove really is an excellent place to explore- not just the property itself, but it's a short drive to both Guerneville (probably one of my favorite towns in all of California) and Jenner, where there is a gorgeous view of the coast. Breakfast was delicious- fresh pastries are always such a treat. Thanks Elizabeth and Mark for a great little getaway! Also, if you are interested in adopting us into your family, we're into it.

This is a great place to go for a private getaway that is close to the oceans and the woods!

This is our second time staying at the cottages at Raymond's Bakery. The second time was just as good as the first! Check-in was very easy and we were greeted with fresh baked goods. The cottage was clean and well decorated. Our first morning Mark greeted us at the cottage and we ate a delicious breakfast in the bakery (croissants, streudel, hard boiled eggs). They also showed us where to explore and eat. We will definitely be visiting again. Don't think, just book!

This is our second time staying at Elim Grove - this time in the Creekside Cottage. We drove in for just one night from Davis to get away for a quick trip to the beach. Mark was kind enough to waive the 2 night required minimum (as we were outside of busy season). We had such a great time. Mark greeted us on arrival with pastries, bread, beer, and great conversation. He also gave excellent suggestions on places to visit in the area. My husband, 2 yr old toddler, dog, and I spent our days playing in the garden, fetching with our dog in the nearby creek, hiking up and around the property, taking a 5 min walk to the closest waterfall, and generally having a wonderful day. We hope to make this a regular visit to escape from our typically hectic lives.

Mark is an incredible host. I highly recommend visiting him and his family in their utopia in the woods of Cazadero. If you are looking for a relaxing weekend to explore northern California and eat amazing baked goods, this is the place.

What was intended to be a mini relaxation break from the city turned into a very memorable experience amidst the coastal redwoods. Mark made my husband, one year old boy, and I feel right at home on his beautiful homestead, we felt like we were visiting friends. The cottage accommodations were comfortable and met all of our needs. It was an added delight to wake up to a breakfast of amazing fresh baked goods. Mark was also helpful in directing us where to visit along the Sonoma coast, and we were thankful for the personable attention. Our only regret was that the trip was too short, next time we hope to stay more than a couple of nights!

We had a wonderful time in the woods while exploring the Russian River area. We loved the amenities - w/d, full kitchen, fireplace, and especially the hot tub! Great views from all rooms and awesome outdoor living areas. We can't wait to return next year!

I spent a couple of days at RRG's homes for my birthday. It was magical, secluded, and was connected with Mother Nature in the most memorable way (heavy rainfall to flooding - not negative/all positive because CA needs the water)! However, that includes powerlines to trees falling due to the weather. But a few phone calls and emails, within an hour I was booked at another house nearby. I was thrilled that RRG and the team handled the situation quickly. Communication exceeded my expectations - professional and compassionate... My birthday turned into the greatest adventure and a happy one. I cannot recommend Tuck-It-Inn or Babble-On more. They both are beautiful homes and well equipped. Great for families, friends, and to a romantic couple's trip. For all that they were able to do for me and my stay, it was worth every penny and look forward to going back/staying in another RRG!

This is a very special cozy cabin tucked away in the woods and absolutely perfect for a weekend getaway. The setting is incredible, very private and dreamy. And the house is complete with everything you might want. It's super clean and comfortable and the host was easy to communicate with. Definitely planning a return visit!! One note: the fireplace is amazing but remember to bring your own firewood!

Gorgeous cabin, will plan to come again!

This cabin is the epitome of cozy and charming. We spent the weekend nestled on a private and scenic hillside in the redwoods, listening to the creek, making great meals in the well equipped kitchen, and finding great hikes nearby. We also took advantage of the fabulous tennis court down the road! Highly recommend a stay at Tuck-It-Inn.

Tuckit Inn was wonderful. The funky cabin exceeded our expectations for a romantic getaway. Loved dining on the deck off the kitchen in the evenings. Cheers!

Tuck-it-inn was a wonderful cabin that provided a perfect mix of natural rustic and modern conveniences. Close enough to San Francisco for a secluded weekend getaway. There was plenty of space an entertainment available for a family. I highly recommend this location!

Fantastic, please don't stay here, because I want to come again soon.. what an amazing retreat for my wife and I, we stayed for our honeymoon with pets. It was a perfect location out of town! Amazing!!

The Caz Redwood Retreat was such a magical place and Sandi really was an amazing host. From getting us into the house, to giving us a great rundown of fun stuff to do nearby, we couldn't have felt more at home. Her one recommendation that we didn't follow was to stay two nights because, as she said, "that's what it takes to really unwind". We should have heeded that advice! The house itself is lovely and perfect for 2 couples to enjoy. The two redwoods flanking the deck on either side made it feel very special, especially for a bunch of east coasters like us. If you have the opportunity to stay here, definitely do.

Great little peace of paradise. Has the quaint peaceful vibe of russian river with modern amenities. I came here as a kid on family vacations (from Stockton!) so I vouch that this a good old wholesome Russian River cabin! Updated enough for modern comforts, but still charming and rustic. Loved it!

Super cozy house in the middle of a redwood forest. We went there with some friends over a weekend. Sandi called me the day before to give to ensure I had all the details I needed about the house. We arrived around 10pm on a Friday night. It was pretty cold outside, but Sandi had made sure the heat was on so we wouldn't be cold. The house itself is beautiful, with an open fireplace, fresh bathroom, two cozy bedrooms and a modern kitchen (with all the appliances and tools you might need).

Sandi was very helpful with accurate directions and tips about the area. The redwoods and creek near the house provided an excellent backdrop to the weekend and were great to return to after our day trips. I especially recommend the pastries and espresso from the nearby bakery and soaking your toes in the creek while sitting on the provided beach chairs.

Sandi was very helpful before my arival. Explained everything i need to know to get to, and in the house, and even notified me of all the fetures of the house once i arrived. The house was very clean and cosy. She even had a few pieces of firewood left so we could get the house warmed up even more. The house had a tall shower which i really love to see being 6'3" so i didnt have to bend down at all. The master bed had a foodboard so i couldnt sleep in there, but the pink room was very comfortable. Cazadero is like a place ive never seen, green everywhere with little sunlight, (there is once you get to the town) i would recoment anyone to stay here at least once for a different experience.

What a lovely place and location. We enjoyed our very relaxing, private and peaceful stay. Wish we could have stayed longer. The home was equipped with everything we needed and we were down the road to Raymond's bakery...yum! The house can get pretty chilly but once you burn some wood and/or turn on the heaters it gets warm and cozy right away. Sandi was very accommodating and kept in touch with us throughout the whole process. Definitely will return for the summer. Our dog also enjoyed it!

Absolutely beautiful house and surroundings in the Redwoods. We were two couples who rented the place for the weekend and the photos lived up to our expectations. Very nice and clean and spacious. One of the beds a little short. A great wooden deck with lights. Sandi was very friendly and helpful with information. Just down the street - walking distance - is Raymond bakery with awesome fresh baked bread, coffee and great pizzas. Open fri-sun. Friday is pizza night with live music and can be recommended. A lot of wineyards within 15-30 min drive. Will definitely recommend this place to others :)

The Caz Redwood Retreat was fantastic; better that expected. My wife and I had her sister and boyfriend visiting from Indiana. We wanted a great place to stay and experience the coast. We loved the mid-century style of the house and it had plenty of space for the four of us to spread out. The decks were great and the location in the redwoods is perfect for a retreat from the city. Sandi was a great host and always accessible if we needed anything. Highly recommended!
