Redwood Retreat was exactly what I was looking for in a family getaway.Great gated yard, beautiful deck with a multitude of seating options. Redwoods growing through the deck, a beautiful mural surrounding the hot tub. It was just charming.The owners have thought of everything and it’s incredibly well laid out for a vacation rental. Beautiful kitchen that has most everything you’ll need, toaster/counter top oven in addition to a nice range. Coffee maker, hot water kettle. Nice refrigerator with ice maker! Beautiful views and the light in the place is great.Incredibly comfortable beds, nice size bathrooms. Another deck on the backside between the bedrooms.Cable tv, wifi and a great electric started gas fireplace. Games, brochures for area attractions, close to the beach actually with just a short walk.Brett was easy to communicate with and we would come back again for sure.

Cozy House Nestled in the Woods
We had a wonderful weekend getaway at this cozy home surrounded by trees and nature. The setting was peaceful and private, just what we needed to unwind. The house was clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully stocked, especially the kitchen which had everything we needed. A perfect retreat for a quiet, relaxing break.

Nature and Wine Lovers Hideaway
If you love majestic Redwoods, quiet surroundings, well appropriated accommodations that are cozy and charming with close proximity to amazing Vineyards, this rental will not disappoint! We prefer uniquely different properties for our vacations and this "Upscale Vintage Cabin" fit us perfectly. The cabin size was ideal for our group of 4 with two full bathrooms - a big selling point if your traveling with non-family vacationers. But the best feature is the amazing outdoor space with a deck that was built around the majestic redwoods on the property. A wonderful place to relax after a day of adventures.

Forestville stay March 2025
My wife & I came to Forestville to visit her sister (obviously my Sister-in-Law), her husband & their menagerie of playful pets. We found this beautiful location about one mile from their place, great find. It also happened to overlap w/ our 23rd wedding anniversary & the owners were gracious enough to leave us a bottle of local bubbly in the fridge for us to toast & enjoy. Great home, super cozy & a beautiful location. Going forward we are going to base our trips to visit Forestville based on the availability of this home. Thank you for a great experience, we will be back.

Beautiful secluded cabin experience
This was my first VRBO rental, so I was a little unsure what to expect but it was amazing. We walked into to warm soothing fireplace in a beautiful cozy cabin. It's truly like staying in a treehouse. We loved the jacuzzi and fireplace and spent hours drinking champagne and relaxing every night. The cabin also has a wonderful kitchen that is fully stocked for cooking. Many great places to eat and wineries in the vicinity. Owner was exceptional with communication and his house manager was also amazing. We loved it!

Thanksgiving stay
Overall the property is pretty good but I would not call it upscale. The bedrooms were campy to say the least and the effects of dogs were apparent. Also the heating situation is a little sketchy. But on the upside the kitchen is extremely well stocked and the outdoor space and hot tub were great. Also, the property manager was very responsive and helpful with the issues that arose.

There are a lot of places that look good in photos, but when you see them In person, they just don’t deliver. This was NOT one of those places. Had a great time, enjoyed hot tub and beautiful deck with redwoods all around. A bit of a drive to Napa wineries, but worth it!

Great home in the trees!
This place is the perfect, cute little spot for a weekend along the river. Mother’s beach is just a short drive or longish walk. Guerneville is an easy drive. We loved cooking and eating dinner out on the deck! Will definitely book again.
