Cazadero Wagging Woods | 3 Gated Acres | Private Hot Tub | Dog-Friendly
Summary:
Soak in the deck hot tub as redwoods tower around this Cazadero retreat. Inside, knotty pine cabinets meet dark granite at the U-shaped kitchen, and a black wood stove warms the open living room. Walk forest paths 0.7 miles to Point of ridge, or 1.5 miles to Cape Fear Café. Dogs welcome.
The Space:
Spend mornings on the deck as mist lifts off the Russian River, afternoons floating the river or visiting Korbel and Joseph Jewell tasting rooms, and evenings around the firepit with the day's bottles.
The heart of the home wraps a stone-framed wood-burning stove. Sink into the seating, browse the board games, or slip into the separate sunroom with its own TV, writing desk, and vaulted ceilings. Knotty pine cabinets in the kitchen echo the forest outside, a gas range and dishwasher ready for any meal. Pull up to the dining table for six or claim a stool at the bar — Caz at its most lived-in.
OUTDOOR LIVING
The wraparound deck offers multiple levels — grill on the upper deck, dine outdoors, or soak in your private hot tub surrounded by redwoods. The covered front porch and game table in the secluded yard provide even more space. A fenced play yard with picnic table and seesaw is for kids and dogs.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Two peaceful bedrooms each offer a queen bed with traditional wood furniture against pale yellow walls. Sleeps 4.
PROPERTY AMENITIES
-- Private hot tub
-- Full kitchen with dishwasher
-- Gas grill
-- Fully fenced yard (dog-friendly)
-- Two-car driveway parking
-- No AC (naturally cool under redwood canopy)
Guest Access:
Drop into the private hot tub on a deck wrapped by old-growth redwoods, then stoke the wood-burning stove inside under exposed beams. The whole single-level cabin is yours, dogs included — the multi-level decks keep you tucked away in the forest. Let yourself in with the keypad code, and pull up to two cars in front.
Getting Around:
Cazadero is about an hour and 45 minutes from San Francisco via 101 and River Road — a scenic drive into a quiet redwood canyon. A car makes the Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast easy to explore, from redwood groves to coastal bluffs. Cell service gets patchy in the redwoods, so downloading offline maps before you arrive is worth it.

It was cozy, clean and welcoming. We very much enjoyed our stay. We were even there during a storm with the power out for a couple hours, and it was still great! Thank you for being so dog friendly! We hope to come back!
Wagging Woods was the perfect cabin in the woods getaway we were looking for! This is one of those stays where you can tell that the people that own it actually stay there themselves. It has all the amenities that make a home feel extra comfortable and cozy and kitchen has all the equipment that you need for making great meals. Also this cabin truly feels like you're in the forest by yourself. There are neighbors but you can't see them. Every morning I went out on the deck and enjoyed my coffee while listening to the birds and feeling an immense sense of peace and relaxation- just me, my dog, the trees, and the birds 3 The hot tub is in the perfect spot and the outdoor lights make it so cute and welcoming. Just make sure to watch out for ticks which is to be expected but I didn't think of it right away. It was also quick and easy to pop over to Jenner to see the ocean and there is a general store very close by if you forget anything. The hosts were really helpful and accommodating with getting us some items we left behind too. Really a great experience end to end. We can't wait to go back!
The windows and doors to the outside dodge have screens to prevent bugs, etc from flying in. It would have been also better if the rental didn't look like it had any caulking or repairs done near the electrical outlets, as in certain areas it was obvious that the electrical outlets were barely built/screwed into the walls?

Thank you for sharing your feedback with usour review, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback. We appreciate you letting us know
Great escape for a few days! Front gate was broken, so we had to improvise a bit to give our dogs the promised space to roam. Other than that, we had a great time and had everything we needed!
We loved our stay at Wagging Woods. Very clean, quiet and peaceful which is exactly what we were hoping for. My husband is a chef and he loved the appliances! Our dog had an absolute blast exploring the outdoor spaces under the beautiful redwoods. Close enough to fun stuff, yet distant enough to feel in your own world. We had a relaxing stay. Thank you, WW!

Hot tub in the forest
The hot tub was lovely, right in the middle of a grove of beautiful pines/redwoods. Peaceful, the perfect getaway
Amazing property with great place for doggies to run.
Beautiful hot tub set among the redwoods.
Clean and cozy with lots of great movies and video games and extra bedding and towels.
We will recommend this place to all our friends.
This property was perfect for our dog, who LOVED running and crashing around the woods. It’s a perfect location between the river and the ocean, we had a wonderful stay. And the hot tub was a nice plus!

Perfect getaway in the woods
Wagging Woods was the perfect getaway for our family get-together before school starts back. Great for kids and great for adults! Plenty of space both indoors and outdoors. All the kitchen appliances, the hot tub, the tv, and the washer/dryer worked fine and were much appreciated! I definitely recommend it!
I hesitate to give a good review as it may make this place less available! It was pretty close to perfect for my needs! I had read the reviews and some of the negative reviews I did not encounter. The place was spotless, comfortable and perfect for those with a dog!I’ll be back!!

Very nice and peaceful! House was amazing and comfortable.
We enjoyed our stay at Waggin Woods and appreciate how dog friendly it was. The house was cute, cozy and well equipped with all of the amenities. The only real complaint would be that it appeared that at least one of the beds did not have linens changed, as there was sand and human hair in the sheets

WHAT A GEM!
We drove into a mini redwood forest with a cozy cabin in the middle of it. The hot tub was the perfect temperature, the redwoods were stunning, and inside the cabin was clean, with older furniture in the living room but modern appliances and an updated bathroom. Overall a wonderful place.
We hope to go back next year.
