Hillside Retreat in the Redwoods w/ Hot Tub
House matches pictures exactly - well worth it for a nice getaway. The road is typical for the area - it is narrow towards the last bit but it is fine. People were driving large SUVs up the hill with no issue. It was nice that this Airbnb is dog friendly and doesn’t have crazy outlandish rules like others in the area. The only feedback I have is I don’t like when Airbnbs have extensive checkout rules. I always find it odd to pay a cleaning fee but also be required to do a lot of pre cleaning in advance like loading the dishwasher and stripping the beds. Other than that, no complaints. Would definitely come back again as it’s convenient for the area and close enough but still feels quiet and secluded.

Stunning Sauna Cottage Retreat on Private Vineyard
We enjoyed this beautiful sauna cottage so much. Such a unique location being on a vineyard, and very private. It was so quiet and peaceful. We loved using the sauna and bathtub on the stunning deck. We had everything we needed for our stay. Would love to come back for another visit!

Pine Haus | Lakefront • Kayaks • Hottub • Dogs
Wonderful, relaxing, long weekend! Super-cute place with a lot of charm and really well-equipped kitchen. Thank you so much!

Story-Book Cottage in the Heart of Wine Country
This is a charming place, beautifully kept with lovely furnishings. We really enjoyed the well appointed kitchen as we cooked every day. The yard and gardens are beautifully kept, peaceful and serene. Oranges growing right outside the house! We were in town for a wedding, and Santa Rosa is right in the middle of so many enjoyable things to do. We hiked on the CCT out past Bodega Bay, enjoyed restaurants in Healdsburg, visited the redwoods and shopped at the Barlow in Sebastopol. Thank you Cheryl for sharing your lovely home. We had a fabulous time!

WiLD Vines Winery and Farm Cottage
This was a perfect spot for a personal retreat. I loved everything from the decor to the comfy bed to the private hot tub and well tended garden. I would love to come back again.

Riverwood Cottage - Hot Tub, Direct River Access!
Our family of three had a wonderful time at Riverwood! We appreciated the thoughtful touches -tea kettle, garlic press, as well as books and guides to local history, flora and fauna. The home was clean and comfortable, and the grounds were enchanting! Buttercups bloomed along the path to the river, and the redwood trees towered overhead. The back porch offered a gorgeous view and vantage point to enjoy the birds and wildlife! Don't forget your binoculars! While it was foggy during our springtime stay, the hot tub, claw foot bathtub and fireplace kept us cozy. Town, river beaches, Armstrong Redwoods state park and Jenner by the Sea are all easily accessible from the property's location. Riverwood was a very peaceful and beautiful place to be! Sangeeta was a communicative and attentive host. We had a seamless stay, and no problem finding the property. Communication and directions were all very clear and detailed. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Secluded Oceanfront Beach Cottage and Private Cove
We had a fantastic experience. The host was very proactive and gave clear instructions. We arrived late on a cold night, and the host was proactive in having the wood fire lit for us to have a warm and cozy place. They had left a bottle of wine, sparkling water, and eggs. These little gestures are not what we received in other places we have stayed. The place was amazing with a 180-degree view of the ocean. Highly recommend.

Romantic, cozy 1917 redwood cottage, "Wee Housie"
This place is so magical. I sat in the hot tub in the morning and counted 9 different bird calls. Close to the epic beaches of Point Reyes. The fireplace made it extra cozy- like going back in time.

Cute Wine Country Cottage
Wonderful place for our group to stay! The house was exactly as described, and everybody had plenty of space to themselves. The house was very clean and is located in a great spot in town.

Seaside Sanctuary • Perched Over the Bay • Dogs OK
The first thing you notice is the waves from all directions. You immediately feel at peace. All the amenities were easy to locate and good quality, including great pots and pans, knives dishes and gadgets for cooking. There were extra linens and towels, it was comfy upstairs and down. It was well laid out and you look out at Point Reyes and Tomales Bay while lying in bed upstairs. The stairs were quite steep but there was a nice bedroom downstairs as well. I enjoyed the heated ceramic floor in the downstairs bathroom and there was good water pressure. We loved the wide wraparound deck and dock, as well as outdoor tables and a garden. The beds and sofas were all very good quality and comfortable and it was nice to have the fireplace. The dog had room to sniff and roam safely at will as the decks and garden were well enclosed. Hog Island is one minute away, Tony’s five minutes away for the chowder, and truly awesome pizza at Route One on the way to the dog beach at Dillon. Thanks!

Garden house with gas fireplace
pleasant and cozy stay. definitely recommend to unwind and relax

Moonshack w/ hot tub, redwoods, dog friendly, EVC
We really enjoyed our stay at the Moon Shack! Cozy, quirky (in adorable ways), private...it was a perfect getaway spot for us. We would definitely stay there again should we travel to Gualala! Judy was super responsive and helpful. Check it out for yourself!!

Napa Wine Country Retreat - Villa
This home is absolutely beautiful! The outside is gorgeous and relaxing. The outdoor patio and hot tub are amazing! The location is also fabulous. We went to the Bothe-Napa state park and the Castello di Amorosa both of which were only 15min away as is downtown Calistoga which is really cute. We really enjoyed our stay!! The only slightly problematic feature is the toilet, it doesn’t really work.

Cozy Creekside Wine Country Retreat #2
Laying by the river on the deck with my two senior doggos was pure bliss!

Riverfront Cottage w/ lush gardens & hot tub!
If you're planning an escape in the Duncan Mills area, this is the place you want to be. It is conveniently located as a great jumping off point for all the local area has to offer or provides the perfect place for relaxation and reflection if that's what you need. Karen is a super host and very responsive should anything arise. The amenities at the River cottage cannot be understated. From the stocked kitchen to outdoor decks and gardens complete with hot tub and outdoor soaking tub there is something for everyone. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to another visit in the future. Consider a stay at Mama K's River Cottage, you'll be glad you did.

Designer Wine Country Cottage in Perfect Location
We had a great staycation at Tadashi and Livi’s house in Graton. We visited from nearby in Marin with a young baby and a dog while having some work done on our house, and didn’t expect this to feel like a vacation - but it did! The house was perfect, even stocked with some essentials when we arrived. Great yard, walking distance to a few good restaurants and driving distance to several more. We appreciated their local tips and the love and care they clearly put in the house. We’ll be back!

Charming Cottage on the Mendocino Coast
Jacquelyn’s Charming Cottage on the Mendocino Coast was exactly that. We fell in love upon entering the home and you can feel how much care they put into creating this special space. The local recommendations were perfect, the location was beautiful and we feel grateful we were able to make memories here.

Cozy Up in Sonoma Valley's Best Location
We hope to return to this location with family and friends. This property has 2 AirBnB cottages. They are nestled by beautiful gardens with a view of the mountains. Easy access to many vineyards, excellent restaurants, hikes, and the Charles Shultz Museum. We slept amazingly well with the comforts of home. Linda was a very gracious host and she even gifted us with a jar of her delicious homemade jelly. Our time at this location was truly wonderful!

The Jennifer Cottage at Mendocino Magic
We enjoyed our time here. It is very rural, quiet and peaceful. Laytonville is a small town so the grocery store is very basic. It is only about 10 minutes away and open until 11. We were traveling with small children and arrived later in the day. The kids were hot and hungry and we had not had a chance to get food. The woman handling check in had a plate of fruit and was incredibly gracious to share to help keep them going until we could run in and grab groceries. She also called ahead to confirm how late they would be open. (4th of July) The walk to the private lake is not difficult and there are multiple kayaks you can use. In addition, it was during an incredible heatwave and there were regular check-ins to make sure all was well and everyone had water. There is no air conditioning but there are many fans that helped it cool off at night. Any issues or concerns were dealt with timely and appropriately. The service was truly above and beyond.

River•Garden•Navarro - 1 bedroom, 1 bath
We loved our stay at Ashley's! She was very communicative and answered our questions right away. The location is amazing as it is right on the river and across the street from such an incredible beach! We would love to stay here again if we are in the area :)

Knix's Cabin at Salmon Creek
This is my second stay here, and I’ll definitely be back. Lovely, cozy cottage with beautiful views, and the location is stunning. Exceeds expectations every time!

Andrea's Hidden Cottage
Super cute little spot. Walking distance to Sonoma Plaza and it had a private hot tub. Good distance from some vineyards and wineries as well!

Cottage C - Comfy and Cozy 1 bed 1 bath cottage
About as good as an Airbnb gets, in my opinion. Just a lovely stay from start to finish. The cottage is cozy and situated in a very peaceful, beautiful setting, surrounded by towering redwoods, a little creek runs right alongside the property, and the hillside is lush with ferns. The cottage has amazing views from every window, but thick, easy to close curtains for privacy and sleeping late. The king size bed was perfectly firm and clean with nice cotton sheets and comforter. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with everything you could need, and it was easy to pair my phone to the Sonos speaker system for music. The hot tub is enormous, and just perfectly situated, so it felt very private and safe. All in all, everything about the place gets and A+! We didn’t interact with Tom beyond a few words at check-in, but he was warm and welcoming. We had zero problems, but when I messaged him to let him know we were checking out, he responded almost immediately. I hope we can stay here again!

Windmill Cottage: A Peaceful & Private Retreat
Joshua’s place was perfect. The home was beautiful and the surrounding area was great. The home is set back on a quiet street, which made enjoying the home so relaxing. I brought my two dogs who enjoyed sunbathing on the wrap around patio/deck and running around the yard. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again!!
