  We had the pleasure of staying at the gorgeous Cliff house for an amazing 2 nights. It is truly everything that everyone says it is, and worth the splurge. We spent the majority of the time on the deck, watching 'the phantom', a harbor seal, watching us. The hot tub was ready to go and we took full advantage of that. The floating bridge is fun and a little scary to walk out on! It also provides more privacy when in the jacuzzi! We were greated by a number of deer both mornings outside the deck of the bedroom. Everything was so easy to use and very clean. We loved the music selection as well. The bed was a little bit firm for us, but we always feel that wasy so I'm sure it's perfect for most people. As far as restaurants, we enjoyed a breakfast and a dinner at Timber Cove. Sea Ranch Inn was also very nice for dinner and not too far. Driving south to Rivers End for dinner is a little too far and the road is definitely more winding. Not a great idea for us after wine in the jacuzzi! Don't miss the Sea Ranch Chapel and hiking at Salt Point State Park. We can't wait to return!

  I will join the other reviewers in trying to explain just how beautiful, perfect & amazing this house is, but words can't describe it. You have to "experience" the house and all that it offers. My 4 nights there were some of the most memorable in my life. If you're thinking of this area for your travels, stay no where else, you've found it. First off, here's some necessary info about the house before I try to share the "experience" of it. Diane will make your reservation with ease, provide you with any info needed and is a pleasure to work with...she starts off your "experience" very nicely. Upon your arrival, you will not "miss" anything, as it's provided. You'll enjoy a full compliment of kitchen wares, a great master bath with wonderful towels and toiletries, a very comfy bed, living room "toys" (stereo, tv, books, telescope, etc)...it has it all. (even though I never turned the tv on) But the "experience" of being there is hard to explain. The house is beautiful to begin with and you know right away, you're in a special place. The views are better than the pictures/video...being there is incredible. The smell of the fresh ocean air, the sounds of the water on the rocks just below your deck, morning Mimosa's in the hot tub while you watch the fog lift, watching the seals nap on the rocks below the skybridge, blue water & sky... But that's only part of the "experience". Sit back and take time to enjoy the panarama, which is constantly moving & changing. My wife & I spent the entire last day on the deck, early till late, and to this day, I'm not sure how that day went by so quickly! You'll enjoy the Timber Cove Inn restaurant and their outdoor fire pit on the cliff, which gives you a nice view of the Cliff House. You will enjoy making new acquaintances by their fire pit, but you will catch yourself looking at the Cliff House and before you know it, you're back in front of "your" fire place or on "your" deck looking at the stars. Also, part of the "experience" is exploring the Timber Cove area, Jenner and the Stewart's Point General Store and of course Healdsburg, home of Seghesio Winery...my opinion, "the" best zin. Cliff House owners, Chris & Diane, give you permission to enjoy their house too, through the instructions they've given you at the house. It's a refreshing change and quite nice that they make you feel that comfortable in their house. Chris & Diane say, "they are stewards of a very special place"...indeed they are.

  If I could give the Cliff House more than 5 stars, I would. It is spectacular. The views are beautiful, the house is spotless, and the hot tub is warm and wonderful. Diane and Chris, the owners, have gone out of their way to make guests comfortable. Upon arrival, a chilled bottle of champagne awaits. The kitchen is stocked with so many extras to make cooking a joy: a variety of pans, a nice set of dishes and glassware, double ovens and even a spice rack! There are games to play by the fire, binoculars to observe the wildlife, and maps to use to enjoy the area. The process of booking the Cliff House was very easy. The owners are very friendly and responsive. We loved our stay so much that we are already planning our next visit!

  We had a wonderful 2 days at this property and loved it. The setting is unbelievable. You are basically hanging over the ocean. The setting is super private, quiet and you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. While there are neighbors, nobody is close by, just across the little cove. The master bedroom has the better view as it looks out across the great room to the ocean, but it is also open to this space. It also has a private deck and more light. The second bedroom has more privacy but is much darker as there is just one small window. We loved being there by ourselves and using the master bedroom without any privacy issues. The kitchen is incredibly well appointed - we've never rented somewhere that had everything we needed and we cooked all our meals here. Nearest grocery is about 30 minutes away in Gualla so stop there first if coming from the north. They even had a crockpot! The only thing missing is a grill, but we didn't mind. It's the best organized house we've ever rented too...and this is coming from a professional organizer. Switches are all labeled so there is less hunting for things. Everything is in it's place and we appreciated it. We had to literally pull ourselves out of there to leave. All in all a fabulous trip and we hope we can get back there some day.

  My husband and I just left Cliff House and I must tell you he almost had to drag me to the car kicking and screaming. Our time at the Cliff House was extraordinary because it is, quite simply, an extraordinary place with extraordinary owners. Absolutely nothing is necessary to enhance the view and the location but this amazing house itself does that and more. The dramatic remote setting on the cliff, the enduring sound of crashing waves, the glorious night sky peppered with stars like you've never seen them all remind you that you are in a very special place. And then, Chris and Diane make certain you will be more than comfortable with wonderful linens, toiletries, coffee, pasta, champagne, and other essentials. Everything we could have possibly needed to cook with was there (we stocked up at Trader Joe's but there are some small stores in the area). They have movies and books and puzzles and games, a telescope and binoculars for scoping out the seal lions and fishing boats. The hot tub overlooking the ocean was heavenly - perfect for long conversations about how we would never, ever, ever get tired of being in this place. Even the mster bath shower was incredible as well - while there is no way we could replicate the setting of Cliff House, we have already ordered the rain shower system - maybe if we close our eyes we can imagine we are back in California????? We did visit a few parks and we also went to the Timber Cove Inn twice - once for the wine tasting and once for dinner. We enjoyed both very much but found ourselves antsy to get back to the house during our outings. Go - just GO and you will understand exactly what we are talking about. Thank you, Chris and Diane - it was wonderful.

  This home is an architectural masterpiece with dramatic coastal views complete with cantilever walkway. We searched hundreds of homes on line over many months and knew The Cliff House would be perfect the minute we came across the listing, laughing with excitement as we considered our good fortune. The home and its location are perfect whether returning after a day of exploring or for simply staying home all day to refresh mind and body. The Jacuzzi hot tub on the deck provided the ultimate in relaxation and we used it to enjoy coffee in the morning and to look at the stars before retiring for the night. It could not be in a better location on the cove. Winds blowing 40-50 mph at Timber Cove Inn only a mile away were non-existent at the home’s sheltered location. Having to dress in many layers at Salt Point Park to explore the ocean trails just a few miles away, we were very excited to find upon returning that we could sit comfortably on the deck in shorts and soak in the sun. From the deck’s great vantage point, we were able to watch seagulls (two which seemingly stood guard on the ends of the flying bridge) turkey vultures, pelicans, and other birds, seals and whales. The pièce de résistance included a new born seal pup we watched for hours on our last day, only to be outdone by a gray whale and her calf which came right into the cove for several minutes before disappearing around the bend. We could not have scripted a better location or home to enjoy our honeymoon and will treasure the many memories we made at The Cliff House. Curt and Nancy – Chicago Illinois

  My husband and I rented the Cliff House for our wedding anniversary. We wanted a romantic getaway weekend on the ocean and that's exactly what we got. The house was beautiful and clean and the views were breathtaking. It was so relaxing to sit and listen to the sound of the waves crashing literallly outside the house! We will definitely be coming back hopefully before our next anniversary!

  What a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the coast. We spent a few days last year near the Bodega Coast and wanted to try farther north and boy did we choose the right spot. Great View, gorgeous home, and wonderful owners who I felt as if I had known them all my life. The weather was great and only had one day of rainy wet weather but that did not matter because we stayed in and enjoyed the view of the ocean and the waves knocking against the rocks. We also had two seals who came up each day and rested upon the rocks outside of the home as long as the tide did not cover up their rocks. Diane and Chris have found a wonderful dream home and we felt very honored to be able to use their home for our relaxing trip. It is stocked with almost everything you might think of and then some. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to feel like you are sitting out over the top of the ocean and have a peaceful and beautiful view to choose this home. You will not be disappointed. Thanks Diane and Chris for sharing your home. You are very lucky.

  My husband and I, together with our adult son and his girlfriend stayed at Cliff House for just 2 nights. It didn't take us long to realize that we should have booked for longer. This has to rate as one of the best getaway locations that we have experienced. The location is exactly as portrayed in the photographs on this site, but what they cannot convey is how peaceful and relaxing it is. The views over the ocean are spectacular from the jacuzzi and from the flying bridge. We saw 2 spectacular sunrises from our bed in the main bedroom. The Annapolis winery - about 30 minutes away - is a really good place to visit for a tasting. We also found the Timber Cove Inn for dinner and the Sea Ranch for lunch to be good places to go. However, the "home-cooked" meal at Cliff House overlooking the Pacific and listening to the waves was probably the best. Chris and Diane have ensured that the house is well equipped and that all the required information is readily to hand. They were a pleasure to deal with in all aspects of the rental process. As mentioned elsewhere, our deposit was returned promptly a few days after the end of rental period. We will certainly be looking to return here in the future and have recommended it to several friends. Thank you Chris and Diane for making your home available.

  The Cliff House is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful coast of Sonoma County. Diane and Chris (owners) are great and have everything organized that made our stay hassle-free. The house is a Frank Lloyd Wright inspired design and has amazing architectural elements throughout. Highly recommend Salt Point State Park nearby for light hiking and viewing the Sandstone formations along the coast. Looking forward to my next stay.
