Dreamcatcher Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Seemingly pulled from the pages of a fairy tale, this woodland cottage provides peace, quiet, and a stunning atmosphere among the redwoods of Cazadero. Enjoy a beautiful deck shaded by mature trees, where you can breathe in the fragrant forest air and soak in the hot tub overlooking the woods each evening.

This two-story cabin is the perfect place to disconnect, tucked into the forest about four miles south of small-town Cazadero. Yet you'll also be in a wonderful position to explore, with the Russian River easily accessible in both Monte Rio (seven miles) and Guerneville (11 miles). Go wine tasting, hike the Pomo Canyon Trail (11 miles), and take scenic drives out to Jenner on the rugged ocean coast (10 miles).

Stepping into this home is like stepping back in time, thanks to the classic furnishings, cozy fireplace, and richly hued wood at every turn. Natural light streams in through large windows and a lofty skylight, creating a wonderful spot to read, play board games, and watch movies on DVD and streaming services.

Enjoy a charming kitchen with every essential, a dining space lined with windows, and doors that lead outside to the deck among the trees. Take afternoon naps in the hammock, prepare alfresco dinners on the gas grill, and linger outdoors to listen to the sounds of the forest. In the evenings, you'll find the bedroom upstairs, offering its own TV beneath the rafters. Complimentary WiFi is provided as well.

Incredible little spot, perfectly located between the ocean and Guernville. Such a cozy spot for a romantic getaway. The only downsides is that it was very cold in the cottage and the bathroom was not at all sound proof. Maybe some additional blankets or instructions on how to heat the cottage would be helpful!

Great location, perfect for a cozy winter weekend in a little NorCal mountain town. The house was definitely what you pay for. It was very visually cute on the surface, however when you looked closer it was a little worn. I could get over that, but the smell was difficult to get over. Information about the house was provided, but when I reached out to the hosts about the weird smell, I didn’t receive a response back until day of check out. The hot tub is a great add on, but area is very dark at night and there are no lights so was a bit spooky.We had a good weekend around the different little towns and would love to visit the area again.

A perfect little cottage in the woods. Rustic but comfortable, and had everything I needed for a home base while exploring the forest. Waking up in the loft bed to the sunlight coming through the trees was beautiful. Relaxing in the jacuzzi was wonderful too. I was sad to leave and would absolutely stay here again.

I don't believe the cabin was correctly advertised. The unit had recently been stayed in cause the coffee in the coffee maker wasn't moldy yet. But when we arrived, the heater for the cabin did not work and could not be fixed, the stove required a lighter(it ran out of lighter fluid), there were no extra batteries for any of the lanterns(the property is very dark), and I believe I paid an outrageous amount of money to stay in a very cold cabin that didn't provide the warm charm it promised. I was also price gouged to stay another day, at a rate that was much higher than the original amount per night I had purchased. I was told the night I checked in and called to extend that if I waited any longer to purchase the other night, it would only get higher in price. I wish I had done a full walk around the house before extending it because I would have seen the heater broken, the janky oven, all of the spiders around the porch and furniture by the patio, and all of the other things I missed upon entering and thinking how cute the place was before I truly experienced it.

This was exactly what my husband and I needed for a little getaway! The property was quaint, cozy, and so peaceful. It was clean and had all the amenities we could ask for! The hot tub under the massive redwood trees was the cherry on top - can’t wait to stay here again!

Weekend Getaway

The Dream Catcher is a sweet little cottage for a short retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. You’re very secluded and surrounded by beautiful trees. Minor updates would make this place even better: couch and more indoor lighting. Overall, we’re very happy we found the Dream Catcher!

Lovely Stay

The cottage is super charming! We had a lovely time getting away to the woods for the weekend. The hot tub was great and worked perfectly. The bed was comfortable. The cottage itself is rustic with beautiful views of the surrounding trees. The location is not too far from Guerneville or the coast, and there is a nice hiking trail about 15 minutes south.

Lovely romantic getaway

It’s a perfect escape for a couple, a beautiful setting and very intimate. A couple of things that are good to know: the bathroom doors are louvered, so if you are not already on comfortable bathroom habit status with your person, this might change that! As other reviews have noted, the bed is fairly hard. Two nights would be my maximum. And if you are at all pillow picky and are wondering if you should bring your own, you should. It was a beautiful peaceful place and we had a wonderful time. Thank you so much!

Perfect getaway

This was a fantastic place to get away from city life and spend some quiet time closer to nature among the redwoods. The cabin was clean and warm with charming touches. We were able make breakfast and even bake a cake in the well stocked kitchen. The deck area was a peaceful place to read a book. Ending the day in the hot tub was perfect. I would definitely come back! Highly recommend!

Rustic Worn Quaint Quiet

Sitting on the deck among the tall trees with a hot tub was just what we needed. Cabin is cute and well loved,shows a little age. Bed is a rock, couch is comfy. If quaint and quiet are what you are looking for go for it.

Goodnight’s Sleep

The property was clean, wifi reliable, and well supplied. I would note that the driveway past the gate is note an easy drive for low cars which do not have AWD/4WD but there is room in front of the gate for 1-2 vehicles.

Dreamy cabin

Ambiance, silence, furnishings- all top notch. You might want to warn future guests about pot-hole filled road leading to property, and difficult ingress down the drive, and shaky incline on egress. These minor surprises did not take away from our delightful stay, but these two 70 year-olds found it a wee bit challenging to get in and out of this charming forest cabin.

Extremely charming cottage if you can live with a loft bedroom

This place is charmingly decorated in a quirky way. The kitchen is fully equipped (without dishwasher) and the hot tub, beautifully situated, was nice and hot. The sole bed is in an A-frame loft that is narrow so that you can't stand up straight next to the bed which made getting up to use the downstairs toilet challenging on the first night. I got used to it and would definitely stay there again.

Magical Spot

I felt a fairy would pop out of the woods. The place is as quiet and quaint as you could ask. Overwhelmingly warm and full of charm. The place has peace and a personality that is all its own. We had many adventures in the area, but we always looked forward to settling down in the hot tub, relaxing by the stove, and having a peaceful night's sleep. This is a one-in-a-million location. We will always have the fondest of memories of 66.

Great except for one oversight

I really liked the cabin. A bit rough around the edges, maybe, but quiet, peaceful, well equipped, and tastefully decorated. My one complaint is the boil-water order I didn't learn about until I got there. That's really the sort of thing you should disclose to a guest ahead of time. Rating would be five-stars except for that.

Magical

A unique, magical cabin in a beautiful forest setting. We enjoyed the eclectic art and decorations from different eras and places. The gorgeous, well crafted redwood interior was a delight. The many windows let in the lovely forest view. The lounge chairs by the hot tub allowed us to gaze up at the tall redwoods and contemplate. The silence was broken only by chirping birds or occasional distant dog bark. Truly relaxing. We felt asleep to the call of a Great Horned owl.

I wish I could give this property a better review - as it has the potential to be a really lovely little property.•The road that leads you to the driveway isn’t well maintained. It’s also off a steep-grade type of road, with tight turns, so getting there after dark isn’t very easy to navigate. •The driveway in & out needs to be filled in & re-leveled, as it’s a bit of an off-road experience to get in & out each time. •Outdoor lighting around the property is extremely limited, so arriving after dark is not recommended. •Entire property is on a steep hill, so walking back & forth to the car can be tough; if you’re not able-bodied, or if you have a lot of things to bring in, doing it in daylight is best. •The locking system on the cabin door is very low quality - seemed safety wasn’t an issue here? •The bathroom floor has dry-rot building up between the toilet & bathtub, causing buckling in the floor that is not only visible, but you can feel it under your feet. •Hot water heater isn’t large enough to fill tub.•The kitchen has no high-heat cooking supplies - if you bring things to cook, make sure you bring your own spatulas. •The hot tub isn’t private - you can be seen from the road if you choose to use it during the day. The tub was set to 90 too, so after 5 mins of the top being half off, the water was already getting cold.•I wouldn’t call this place, “dog friendly” as the stairs aren’t very much so for larger dogs. •Couch needs upgrading •Bed needs upgrading
