The creek and two miles of curving Sonoma Coast Beach is a three-minute walk from your door at Sojourn, in the quaint, quiet community of Salmon Creek, one mile north of Bodega Bay, California. You will experience an awe-inspiring view from the large deck and upper living area, including Pacific ocean waves, coastal hills, and the meandering Salmon Creek as it snakes its way to the sea.

At the coast, local activities include hiking the bluffs or through the Redwood groves, kayaking, paddle boarding, surfing, whale watching, horseback riding and fishing. Nearby golf courses include Bodega Harbour Golf Links, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and Northwood, a nine-hole gem cut amongst the redwoods along the Russian River, designed by Alister MacKensie, who designed Augusta National and Cypress Point. Further afield, dining, antiquing, and exploring the hamlelts of Bodega, Freestone, Valley Ford, Bodega Bay, Duncan Mills or Sebastopol; wine tasting through the heart of Sonoma County Wine Country; visiting historic Fort Ross, plus San Francisco and the Bay Area are easily accessible by car or by ferry from Marin.

Your stay at Sojourn can be as serene or as exciting as your desire dictates. Each season has its charms in Salmon Creek on the beautiful Sonoma Coast.

Love the Birds!

Sojourn was the perfect house for our family holiday. My kids could play while their granddad took pictures of birds from the deck. We loved it!

Beach Views, Access & Comfort

Great stay!

Loved our stay! Perfect set up for families, we stayed with our 4 and 1 year old. The stairs have a built in gate at the top, which was perfect. They had some toys and games, which our kiddos really appreciated. The house is just a 5 minute walk to the beach, with an amazing view from the porch. We had some issues with the tub downstairs. I messaged the hosts, and they came out the next morning and fixed it. They were very friendly, helpful and had easy communication. Other pros: comfortable beds, cozy fireplace (which is usable even in summer), laundry on site, charcoal grill. The only cons we found: no dishwasher or beach chairs. Will absolutely stay here again!

18th Girls Trip (3 women ages 68-70)

19 years ago we reconnected and have an annual trip together. This was our 18th yr (missed one due to Covid). Your home was perfect. Three bedrooms with VERY COMFORTABLE BEDS! The house was very comfortable to visit and just unwind. We hiked the Redwoods, walked on many beaches and had wonderful pizza with outdoor music in Cazadero. We did daily Yoga using your CD player. We would definitely come back if our journey's bring us back to Bodega Bay. Thanks for the wine-awesome!

Perfectly acceptable

Nice little cottage. Very dated. No frills. Would not recommend for older (70+) people as the stairs are difficult to manage. Bathrooms are tiny. Parking was easy, host was easy to communicate with, view is lovely. If you are just looking for a place to sleep while you are out at the beach or doing things locally I would say this was safe bet.

Wonderful 3 night staycation.

Sojourn by the Sea was every bit as magical as the listing. For those coming to Bodega Bay, you know the area is cold. But this house felt homely to return to after hiking in the area, with a grand living room, dining room, and serviceable kitchen. We look forward to staying here again. The surprises were - downstairs seemed to be a bit cooler but there were plenty of sheets. Also there are only 2 full bathrooms, with an extra sink in the hallway. The best surprise was the side green-teahouse. It was warm inside and you could definitely read a book while sipping tea there.

Sojourn by the Sea was perfect!

This property was ideal for our family. The home was comfortable and roomy with a very nice ocean view. We cooked a few meals in the well appointed kitchen. The baby gates at the stairs made things easy with the 1 year old we traveled with. I would recommend this property to anyone with a medium-sized family. We had seven in ours and were very comfortable. The South Salmon Creek beach is walkable from the property. Highly recommend!

Can't Beat the View

Great property with main living area upstairs, giving you the advantage to eat, play games, read, etc. while looking at and listening to the ocean. Short walk to the beach, so you can skip the madness of trying to find a parking spot, especially on a weekend. This is the second year of staying at this home for our family get-together. The home had plenty of room for all and a great time was had by everyone.

Wonderful weekend at Sojourne

It was just as described in the listing. Had everything we needed to enjoy a great family weekend. We supplied the family, of course. The three bedrooms were perfect for our family of two couples and one single. The patio is such a plus with a great ocean view. Yes, there are power lines visible too, but such is modern life in an older established beach neighborhood. Owner was super helpful with questions prior to our visit. Walk to beach is short and the sand has lots of drift wood to admire and shell searching opportunities. We’d love to visit again sometime.

Charming week at the coast

My husband and I (50s) spent a week at Sojourn with our son and his wife (early 20s) and my parents (80s) in early August. We had a lovely time and those of us who could make it down the steps (see below) enjoyed the close proximity to the beach, as well as the amazing views out of the second-story windows—both the creek and the ocean are right there. Bodega Bay allows easy travel to many things; we liked visiting Armstrong Redwoods the best. The beds were very comfortable and my family enjoyed the many amenities. The property owner is very responsive and friendly. My only concern is that the listing did not specify that the main living area was on the second story, instead referring to living and lower levels. My parents have mobility issues and getting them up to the second story was hard. At least there was a bed and bath up there. Why not just call them the first and second stories, because that's that what they are. I don't get being coy with terms. That aside, it was a lovely stay in a gracious home in an amazing part of California.
