Summary:
Soak in the deck hot tub as redwoods tower overhead on three gated acres in Cazadero. Two queen bedrooms sleep 4, with a stone-framed wood stove, a sunroom with its own TV and writing desk, and a fenced play yard for kids and dogs. Forest paths start 0.7 miles from the door; the Russian River and its tasting rooms are an easy drive.
The Space:
Three gated acres of redwood forest wrap this single-level Cazadero cabin — a private, unhurried basecamp where the hot tub steams on the deck and dogs get room to be dogs. Spend mornings with coffee under the trees, afternoons floating the Russian River or tasting at Korbel and Joseph Jewell (both an easy drive down the canyon), and evenings soaking under the redwoods.
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.
Evenings are the point here. Fire up the gas grill on the upper deck, eat outside as the light drops through the trees, then trade the dining table for the hot tub and let the forest go quiet around you. Cell service fades in the canyon — the WiFi keeps you connected, but the better move is letting the redwoods win for a weekend.
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.

Two peaceful bedrooms each offer a queen bed with traditional wood furniture against pale yellow walls. Sleeps 4.

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.
The Neighborhood:
Cazadero is a quiet redwood canyon community minutes from the Russian River. Forest paths start 0.7 miles from the door, Cape Fear Café is 1.5 miles away, and Guerneville's shops, restaurants, and Johnson's Beach are about 20 minutes. Armstrong Redwoods and the Sonoma Coast at Jenner make classic day trips.
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.
Other Things to Note:
The cabin stays naturally cool under the redwood canopy — there's no air conditioning, and most evenings don't need it. Cell service gets patchy in the redwoods, so download offline maps before you arrive; WiFi is available at the cabin. Dogs are welcome, and the fenced play yard is theirs too.
