Mid Century Cabin in the Redwoods

Located on a quiet street, this 2-bedroom 2-bath cabin is surrounded by majestic old-growth Redwood trees. Relax with a glass of wine on one of two new redwood decks. The sound of birds flapping their wings as they fly overhead is one of the only sounds you'll hear. Inside, enjoy the mid-century architecture and a collection of ever-evolving modern and folk art.

The cabin is our family getaway, our absolute favorite spot, and we offer it to guests just ten times a year. The architecturally striking cabin, the prettiest one in the area, is close to great wineries, restaurants, spas, and hiking. Just as importantly - it's not in the flood zone nor the fire zone.

We know this cabin is more expensive than some others in the area, and it doesn't disappoint. You'll find comfortable mid-century furniture with plenty of modern touches. The grounds are landscaped and bouquets of locally grown fresh flowers are inside. The kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry areas are fully stocked, from spices and butter to detergents and soap, and plenty of paper products. Lots of extras are included - kindling and almond firewood, charcoal for the BBQ, beer & soft drinks in the fridge, ice cream in the freezer, and retro coffee service with a Chemex pourover.

We manage the cabin ourselves and it's a passion project for us. Every detail is meticulously cared for - from the gardens to the linens. We take the time to get it picture perfect, inside and out, for our guests. We've hosted anniversaries, milestone birthdays, and several honeymoons and wedding parties.

Please inquire if you want to bring a pet. We occasionally allow a well-behaved dog, never puppies or other animals. All stays with pets need to be approved with the owner prior to booking.

The cabin's exterior, with a dramatic roofline, has won architectural awards. The inside was recently remodeled, creating an open and inviting living space. We've added lots of original artwork. Skylights in every room - even over the beds and above the fireplace - bring the outdoors in. A huge stone fireplace and an audiophile's sound system make this a cabin to remember. Romantic and cozy for a couple as well as great for young families. (Please let us know if children are coming - we store children's gear offsite.)

We know cleanliness is important to our guests. It's super important to us, too, and to be perfectly honest, we're slightly obsessed with keeping the cabin sparkling clean. You'll notice that carpets have just been shampooed, and windows and skylights are spotless. All linens (including blankets, pillows, and coverlets) are sanitized well in advance of each stay. We don't take back to back bookings.

Sleeps up to two. (Set up as a two bedroom, but the cabin is a legal one bedroom because of the septic system size.) Comfortable beds include a CA King from European Sleepworks in the master bedroom, queen bed in the office, and an almost full size pull out sofa in the living room, which is fine for children or one adult. Radiant heat floors in the bathrooms, central heat, and a wood burning Fisher stove keep you warm inside, as the majestic Redwoods and large front-yard Bigleaf Maple keep the property slightly cooler than the surrounding areas. Custom California Closets, high-end linens and appliances including a Bosch washer and dryer, and floor to ceiling windows throughout.

The two new redwood decks add another 1200 feet of outside space for you to enjoy. On the shade-filled side deck, fern fronds quietly unfold. On the spacious back deck, bordered by red and purple flowers, Anna's hummingbirds are enticed to feed. Each deck has multiple seating options and year-round warmth beneath commercial patio heaters.

Announcing our new collaboration with Bruce Patch Wines! All 2023 stays receive a complimentary bottle of Bruce Patch's 2018 Harris Kratka Zinfandel, 2019 Schoolhouse Creek Old Vine Zinfandel, or 2020 Sauvignon Blanc. Our friend and neighbor Bruce is a renowned winemaker, has access to incredible vineyards, and makes bold & flavorful wines with an artful label. See www.brucepatch.com for more.

You might not have heard of Forestville, CA, before. (We hadn't either.) With a population of just over 3,000, it's home to vineyards, farms, wineries and a small downtown shopping area. It's wonderfully diverse. On the one hand, you might see wild turkeys meandering down our road, and there's a Michelin starred restaurant in Forestville, too. We're happy to recommend our favorite haunts - many close-by and fabulous wineries and restaurants for you to visit during your stay.

The cabin finally has internet as of July 2023, thanks to Starlink's new technology for rural areas - relying on 4,000 small satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). It's still a rural cabin with plenty of giant redwood tree obstructions, but cell phone service and internet are now available. Starlink has plans to add another 8,000 LEO satellites, so we expect internet service to become more robust over time.

Delightful redwoods retreat
We had a lovely stay at the cabin, which is located in a very tranquil area of the redwoods. It is beautiful and a great place to unwind but also conveniently located for visiting the area. The cabin had everything we needed for a long stay and our host, Elizabeth, was extremely helpful and made our stay wonderful. We will be back!

Clean and Cozy
We stayed here during a very rainy January so we did not get to experience most of the outdoor space this property has to offer, however it is very cute and quiet. We really enjoyed waking up surrounded by Redwoods and it is not far to fantastic wineries and restaurants. Elizabeth, the host, was very communicative and helpful and truly made this a wonderful experience.

Russian River Valley Getaway
Perfect getaway and base for exploring Russian River Valley vineyards; main challenge was finding the house the first time (great instructions) and dealing with spotty internet (typical of the entire surrounding area ... just needed to plan ahead; provided a great opportunity to "unplug" more than usual, talk more, and dig into a good book); we'll be back

Charming cabin nestled in the woods!
This is a very nice home/Canin, with a well appointed kitchen, which we loved so cooking was fun & stress free! Charming Wood stove & lively little creek with lovely gardens & grounds around the multiple patio/deck spaces. Nice linens, & well done upgrades & charm in the bed & bathrooms. Definitely worth the visit & close to fun wine tasting & great hiking/walks nearby!

Reset Among the Redwoods
The cabin is a great place to completely unplug from the outside world and take a moment to truly relax. From the comfortable beds to the beautiful outdoor patio and spacious kitchen, this place is beautiful and perfect for when you need to take a moment away from everyday life and just breathe. Elizabeth is a wonderful host- attentive, helpful, and kind. I can't say enough great things about this place. I will definitely be back!

Love It
A beautiful, quiet and peaceful home amongst the redwoods!!! We enjoyed sitting outside as we breathed in fresh pine air and listened to the silence with intermittent echoing chirps. This place is perfect to get away from the everyday world to relax and reset oneself. Everything in this rental from the location, décor, and of course Elizabeth & Mark’s gracious hospitality, only creates a fabulous experience. This was our first VRBO rental and will always be a cherished one.

Perfect weekend off the grid.
This property is beautifully designed inside and out. The pictures are 100% accurate. It was perfect for our family of 2 young kids and a pup. Mark was thoughtful to leave out toys and a highchair, which made the stay even smoother. It's worth highlighting that we were completely off the grid. Zero phone coverage (Tmobile) and no wifi in the house. The latter was a bit of a surprise as we've come to expect it in all rentals. But it was actually a treat to be offline for the weekend. We loved the stay, and the area. Hope to visit again!

All that we had hoped it would be and more.
Elizabeth had a bottle of our favorite wine waiting for us when we arrived. I'm not sure how she knew what we liked. The place is fabulous. I'm a chef, and the kitchen supplies and appliances were "Top Chef" worthy. My wife and I shared the place with our daughter and her husband, and the location, amenities served us well. Multiple thumbs up for the patio in the back. We spent each evening out there amongst the redwoods - glass of wine in hand, in sheer splendor. We lost a place nearby where we used to stay regularly. Glad we found our new number one retreat.

Mid-century gem in the forest
We had a wonderful stay in the cabin. It was so welcoming, we could hardly tear ourselves away. Although we did manage a little local exploring, hiking in Armstrong Woods, and a fine dinner at Hazel in Occidental. The cabin is truly a gem in the woods. We enjoyed everything about it. The owners clearly have a great eye for interior design, as well as art. It has all been put together with such care and attention to detail. It was a pleasure to stay in a property with such a well-equipped chef’s kitchen. We had fun cooking there. So often in other places useful items such as a cheese grater or a bottle opener are nowhere to be found! It felt like we were staying at a friend’s house rather than in a rental property.

Romantic Getaway
My husband and I rented this lovely property for our anniversary. It was very clean and comfortable. There were beautiful fresh flowers set up when we arrived! We found the bed and bedding quite comfy! The heated bathroom floors were AMAZING. The skylight over the bed allowed us to fall asleep under the stars and wake up to birds flying overhead. At times the level of silence we enjoyed when outback was unbelievable. There is no wifi or internet so you really get to unplug and unwind. We truely enjoyed our stay. I will mention that from the photos, we thought the property was more secluded/private than it actually is. The house is on the road (cars and trucks passing by during the day) and there are neighbors immediately to either side of the house. The master bedroom has a wall of windows (no curtains) facing the neighbor to the right. She was outside when we were in the master bedroom and we definitely felt like we were in a fishbowl. The property overall is wonderful and privacy is limited.

We'll Be Back
We enjoyed our three-night stay at your esthetically pleasing mid-century cabin, The location is excellent for day trips to nearby towns and communities. Being from the city, we were amazed with the absence of continual noise. It was beautifully quiet in your forest-covered valley. Thank you for making our stay easy and enjoyable. We do have a few suggestions that would elevate our rating from four to five stars. Consider installing a shower curtain liner in the master bath. We were hesitant to use the the shower for fear too much water would soak your lovely shower curtain. We would have appreciate at least one more wash cloth per person. We would have enjoyed music in your home, but we were intimidated by all the early-model technology equipment. We attempted to read the directions while trying to identify the relevant equipment, but it was a bit too much. The cutting knives would benefit from being sharpened. Coasters that are appropriate for glasses containing cold beverages with condensation would have been helpful to accommodate your request to use coasters. The coasters available are good for cups with hot beverages, but don't work at all with glasses with condensation. A couple of small "pull-up" tables/stools would be nice in the main seating area. Many pull-up tables can also be used for extra seating if needed. Nevertheless, somewhere to set down drinks when sitting in the main seating area would be very useful.

Wonderful getaway
We spent 4 wonderful days at this property in early November. It was very nice, with many little details that added to the enjoyment of our stay including a well-stocked refrigerator, coffee service, and fresh flowers in vases. It is very quiet and somewhat isolated, in the forest so not much sunlight but beautiful. The bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed the fireplace in the evenings, it got cold outside and the floors were cold, so we appreciated the heated floors in the bathroom. There is no cell phone service in the area (it disappears a few miles from the house), but there is internet at the house. It was a little unreliable but fine for checking email and news. One odd note is that the master bedroom has no window coverings on the lovely floor to ceiling windows. We were there during the week so no one was around, but it still had a fishbowl feeling in the evenings with the lights on. The area is a little far away from the wineries we enjoy, so we did quite a bit of driving. There is no forest trail nearby for early morning or afternoon walking, so we drove elsewhere for these activities. Forestville is a small community and the restaurants there were mostly closed while we were present. The Farmhouse Inn is amazing, but being Michelin-starred, fairly pricey. And we drove to other restaurants, incorporating this into our planned itinerary so it wasn't a problem. All in all it was very much what we expected from a cabin in the woods, only better.
