About this property

Tranquil Retreat on Austin Creek, Surrounded by Forest Views

Blackberry Bliss is a tranquil, romantic and well-appointed vintage cabin oasis on the banks of beautiful Austin Creek that offers a setting of breathtaking beauty. It was built in 1954 and has been lovingly restored and updated. The house features a private creekside beach and sunny, level backyard meadow. Blackberry Bliss's 1,000 sq ft redwood deck is complete with a private outdoor hot tub, custom oversized redwood chaise lounges, dining bistro, and even more seating providing views of the creek, yard, flowers and trees, including the majestic redwoods, and is enclosed and gated for pets. At night, you'll rejoice in the privacy of magical moon and star-filled nights.

The interior of the cabin is detailed with vaulted open wood beamed ceilings, French doors that seamlessly bring the outdoors in, custom finished redwood detailing and live-edge pass through bar. Blackberry Bliss is artistically furnished including an eclectic collection of both local and international art and artifacts.

Blackberry Bliss is well located within minutes of Guerneville, the Sonoma Coast/beaches and
other nearby historic Russian River towns, including Duncan's Mills, Jenner and Bodega Bay and offering several great restaurants, wine tasting, golf and fun shopping.

Excellent cabin
Very quiet and tranquil. Place was clean, creek was clean, we had everything we needed. Supplies for the dogs are available, the place is well stoked for cooking in and grilling in the patio. We wish we booked more days, 5 wasn’t enough !!

PERFECT GETAWAY!
We spent a week in December at Blackberry Cabin and could not have been happier with our choice. The cabin was clean, comfortable and provided all the necessities. We spent most of our time on the deck enjoying the amazing Redwoods and hot tub. The hummingbirds were quite entertaining! We grilled out every night, then cozied up in front of the wood fireplace. Thank you so much for providing everything needed for a peaceful, relaxing getaway. We will definitely stay again!

Wow. What a home.
Beautiful home close to all the beauty of South Dakota and Wyoming. Owners were slow to respond to a question about the stereo on the first floor. Other than that, perfect.

Anniversary Getaway
Thank you for sharing your home with us! We had an amazing time together. The home was so cozy and quiet. We spent most of our time enjoying the deck and hot tub under the stars, and the canopy of redwoods during the day. We also appreciated that your rental was dog friendly. It is rare to find a place so nice that allows our fur babies! It was definitely a vacation to remember. We can’t wait for our next trip to Blackberry Bliss!
