  My partner and I were in search of a peaceful property where our dog could run around and not even realize she was fenced in. We found it at Fox Ridge. Note, there is an adorable blue-eyed neighbor dog that likes to come visit (she apparently can climb fences). She even went on a walk with us along the road. The deck was amazing: stunning views by day and stargazing by night. The property is lovely and a perfect place to just relax in the hammock. It doesn't take long to get to Gualala and have some beach time, too. There's a great little game store in town that's nice to check out, and we found delicious lunch fare and views at Trinks. We would love to visit again.

  My wife and I had one of the most relaxing weeks of our lives at Fox Ridge. We enjoyed the sun, wind in the trees, and fantastic view of the canyon from the deck. Our dogs enjoyed the fenced-in and safe property for little excursions. This house is spacious and well-stocked with essentials. The bed is soft, and plenty of linens are provided. The location is nice, close enough to The Sea Ranch, but we didn't feel the need to leave the property for the full week.

  Since my friend had been here before with her husband and had only good things to say, a group of us stayed her over this past Memorial Day weekend. We found ourselves spending most of our time on the property because the deck, BBQ and spacious acreage was perfect for lounging and lawn games. Even though the house is removed from the hustle and bustle, it makes for a fun trip into town to eat at the local roadhouse or spend time on the beach. We found the place to be comfortable, clean and full of all the amenities we were looking for. If you want a comfortable getaway that provides plenty of opportunities for stargazing, unwinding and hiking, be sure to put this house on your list. I'd recommend it to all my friends. Oh, and the dogs loved it too! So much space to run around.

  A wonderful property with gorgeous views...forest as far as the eye can see & no houses in sight. Spent a few days with my mom and 3 year old. The home was comfortable & clean with lots of windows, making it bright and sun filled all day long. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking items. There was a plate of cookies waiting for us when we arrived! The huge deck off the kitchen was a great place to relax and enjoy the magic of the forest...to listen to the wind "speak" through the trees & feast the eyes on the hills and valleys below. The surrounding property was fun to explore as was walking on the road (an old logging road) that leads to the home. If you want a place to experience serenity & peace in a pleasant home...this is it. Wish we could have stayed MUCH longer !!! Cynthia was a pleasure to deal with throughout the booking process. And the neighbors are the caretakers, so help is close by if needed . A WONDERFUL & TUCKED AWAY HOME.

  Looking for a peaceful vacation? This house is perfect. My family of four stayed for a week over the holidays. For a house that has as many windows looking over the beautiful scenery, it was very comfortable not drafty despite outside temps in the 30s. The owner is very helpful and responsive answering questions. There's a number of hikes on/near the property, and then also at the coast 20 minutes away. Not miss attractions nearby? Point Arenas lighthouse, Fort Ross, and any number of places to see seals. Many pocket beaches up and down the coast. But it was also nice just staying at the property to cook, relax.

  We spent an amazing Thanksgiving weekend at Fox Ridge. We arrived late at the evening when it was already dark and when we woke up next morning we could not believe our eyes - canyon view from the deck was stunning! House is very private, super comfortable, kitchen has everything you need. Large windows through the house let you see the beautiful forest. Cynthia is great host. She was ready to answer all our questions almost immediately. We wished we could have stayed longer and hope to return one day.

  We were so pleased with how amazingly clean and welcoming this home was. Even better than our expectations! The view was incredible, the kitchen was well appointed, the beds were comfortable, the deck was so relaxing. Lots of fun amenities, like a massage table, and yard games. We felt like we had everything we needed at our fingertips. And with no internet, we were finally able to unwind! Just remember - stop at the Whole Foods if you need to do a grocery trip!!!!

  Fox Ridge is exactly the "retreat" we needed. So peaceful and quite we could actually hear the flapping of the wings of birds as they flew by the back deck. Nice enclosed space for your dog to have safe freedom to explore. Better weather than staying right on the coast yet a reasonably short drive to beaches and other local activities and attractions. Its remoteness was a little jarring to our system in the very beginning (no issue with the place, just that we are personally addicted to modern stimuli), but after a couple of hours in nature, the quiet and tranquility was well needed food for the soul and my husband and I actually reconnected. The owners were very helpful and very pleasant to deal with. The listing was accurate. The home was well maintained. And we've already recommended the place to others. The last bit of road to get to the property is a little rough, so something to perhaps consider for those brand new Mercedes owners, but don’t let it deter you. Fox Ridge is absolutely worth a bit of dust and gravel!

  We stayed in this lovely home for a week-long retreat. It was absolutely everything we could have asked for and more! Cynthia was very accomodating and helpful! When you are in the house, all you see is trees...everywhere!!! We spotted a wide variety of birds and we were able to identify them with the handy books in the house! We spent two days in our pjs! Just a short drive takes you to the breath-taking cliffs and bluffs on the coastline. It looked like we were in Ireland, sheep farm and all! The beds were comfy, the kitchen very handy, the views spectacular and the silence very welcomed! Definitely take a jacket! The cool breezes coming up from the ocean will give you a chill (which was a far cry from the 100+ temps back home!). If you are looking for peace, quiet and relaxation, this is your best bet!!! A great bargain, too!!! We will definitely return someday!

  Very remote cabin in the forest. Incredible views from the deck and bedrooms. Great place to get away from it all and relax. The only things you'll hear are the wind and the wildlife. Great for any age. Great place for stargazing too. Fantastic little winery right down the road with free tasting. If you venture out of the hills to the beach, go to Gulala--best beach is the Gulala state park beach. Owners were responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommended.
