Wonderful little cabin! We had a very relaxing visit watching it rain through the big windows. Wished they had a door mat inside so we weren’t tracking wet footprints through the house. Had to leave quickly on our final day when the water went out, but aside from that, a lovely getaway!

Cozy

We enjoyed our stay. The nest is very cozy. We decided the loft was the primary as the bedroom downstairs is smaller and just for sleeping. Beautiful tree views from every window. So close to Anchor Bay, Cooks Cove and Gualala is just down the road. We will definitely stay there again.

Fantastic bakery in Gualala
We saw whales off the coast! Pt. Arena lighthouse was beautiful.
Gualala Regional Park is our favorite.

Great spot

Very nice house, feels like a cabin in the woods! There are neighbors nearby, but you can’t hear them or see them from the living room’s large window. Really clean and comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped. Thanks for a great stay!

Treehouse in the woods

We came to relax and that's exactly what we did. This wonderful little A-frame was clean, cozy, and felt like it was a million miles from anything, when in reality we were a few miles from town. The view out the windows was breathtaking at times. We would love to rent it again when we need to be energized.

Quiet retreat with a beautiful view

My husband and I really enjoyed the rustic A-Frame cabin. It was stocked with everything we needed for a long weekend getaway and had a beautiful view. We took daily walks in the quiet, redwood lined neighborhood. The location is a short drive to beaches and hiking trails. Do note this is a rustic cabin and the main source of heat is a finicky pellet stove. Overall we loved the accommodations and plan to return.

Gem in the woods

We walked in and said, "This is more wonderful than in the photos!!" This gem is perfectly suited in architecture, style, and furnishing to its quiet, gorgeous setting. Additionally, it has the marvelous personality of an older home complemented by comfortable contemporary updates.

Lovely Nest

We were impressed with the attention to detail at this sweet cabin in the woods. The cool a-frame with floor to ceiling windows truly make it feel like you’re in a tree house. The home was immaculately clean and tastefully decorated, providing a cozy and comfortable retreat throughout our stay. The location was fantastic, offering easy access to restaurants, beaches, river and woods. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend.
