Forested cabin with private hot tub on the golf course
Summary:
Every sunset here feels like a private show -- the Pacific puts on its best for this cabin. Soak in the hot tub as the sun dips below the Pacific. Curl up by the fireplace as fog rolls in off the Pacific. Room for 4 in this 1-bedroom cabin. All restaurants and Gualala Point Regional Park require a short drive. The Mendonoma Coast's best dining, art, and beaches are minutes away.
The Space:
Wake up among the treetops at this Gualala retreat, a stunningly situated redwood escape with a private hot tub, a wraparound deck with woodland and ocean views, and a wondrous location along the Northern California Coast.
You'll find this cozy tree cabin in a dense grove of coastal redwoods just four miles north of downtown Gualala's charming shops, markets, and galleries.
The living space is an ode to the cabin's natural surroundings, with abundant exposed wood and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the redwoods. Curl up in the window seat with an engrossing novel from the shelves, or start planning hikes, nature walks, and picnics in the surrounding hills.
Whip up homemade breakfasts in the full kitchen each morning, and bring your coffee outside to the picnic table on the wraparound deck. Spend your days whale watching on the shores of Gualala Point Regional Park or teeing off at the Sea Ranch Golf Links (a privately owned public course, not part of ) 5 miles south, and end the evenings with a relaxing soak in the private hot tub beneath the treetops before cuddling up by the fire.

Great secluded cabin in the woods with ocean view
Lovely little cabin to stay in. Perfect for two but has room for four although a couple with kids would work perfectly.
Great views and open plan makes this a sweet spot.
Love this home, the windows looking out into the trees are magical. Strongly recommend!

Beautiful and very private
No complaints, the house was perfect. Really nice, big, wooded lot so even though you are in a residential neighborhood you have complete privacy. We had a wonderful stay.

Great position
Very quiet cabin among the redwood trees. Nice view to the ocean from the house and deck.
Great ocean view. The Redwood house has everything we were looking for. Quiet and serene within the beautiful Redwood trees. Excellent retreat from the busy everyday city life.

Amazing getaway!
The house is super cozy and our favorite part was the drop down glass windows in the living room. The jacuzzi out on the balcony is also such an awesome place to relax in the woods. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, relaxing weekend!

Utterly breathtaking
The best of both worlds, in amongst the redwoods but with a view of the ocean
Our girls trip wouldn’t have been the same if we didn’t stay here. The home is situated in the middle of the redwoods with a to die for view. And just a short drive to town. It was perfect!
The home was just as pictured with only the redwoods and perfect view of the pacific surrounding us. The home was cozy and the deck was a favorite spot (in the hot tub). We can’t wait to return!

Peaceful
This is a quiet, serene home. The view was wonderful. A great place to curl up with a good book.
Wonderful and cozy place, perfect for a quiet and intimate getaway. Would definitely recommend to any couple looking for a quiet getaway with a vintage feel.
The Thai spot down the road is great and it’s a short and fun drive to Gualala or Point Arena. 10/10!

Romantic Getaway With Breathtaking Views!
We loved this little cabin in the woods! Perfect for a getaway without the kids. Tucked away in a redwood grove with a beautiful view of the ocean, this cabin had everything we needed. We can’t wait to return for another soak in the hot tub! We will most definitely be back!
