Overview

Surrounded by redwoods and in a quiet neighborhood, the Coastal Cabin offers a pleasant space to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Don't forget to bring your hiking shoes, as numerous trailheads are a short drive away, including the Gualala Bluff Trail, Gualala River Redwood Park, and Bower Park. Sun-soaked and happy, head back inside the open interior of your stay. Whip up something delicious in the well-equipped kitchen amongst the vintage fridge and ample meal prep space. (This home is not equipped with a garbage disposal.) Later, gather on the comfortable seating in the living room for a movie night. Eclectic and fun, the bedrooms offer inviting areas to rest your head each evening. A mini-split unit provides heat and air-conditioning. As the stars begin to fill the night sky, head outside and indulge in a gooey s'more prepared over the warmth of the firepit. Bring your pup along -- this home welcomes up to 1 dog. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS Choose from 2 bedrooms. Altogether, the home comfortably sleeps 4. PROPERTY AMENITIES -- 2 bedrooms, 1 bath -- Dog-friendly (1 dog up to 50 lbs.)

You will have full access to the entire home and all its amenities during your stay. This home welcomes up to 1 dog -- the yard and nearby trails are ready for your pup. Driveway parking is available at the property. Detailed check-in instructions, including the door code, will be provided prior to your arrival.

When you aren't marveling at California's old-growth forests, head to Cooks Beach or Shell Beach to relax and enjoy the sunshine.

From San Francisco, the drive is about 2.5 hours via Highway 101 to Highway 1. Fly into Santa Rosa's Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS), about 90 minutes east, and drive the coast from there. Having a car opens up the entire Mendonoma Coast.

The steps to the front door are not symmetrical, so be careful when descending. Visit in spring for wildflower season -- the hills above Gualala and the river trails burst with lupine and California poppies. June through September brings the warmest weather. Morning fog is part of the charm -- it usually clears to reveal blue skies. Welcome to bring 1 dog (up to 50 lbs.). Please keep your dog on a leash on trails and clean up after them. Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.

We stayed a week at the coastal cabin, and had a great time! We had one 2yo with us, and we were easily able to "baby proof" by setting breakable items up higher, and we took thick rubber bands to proof kitchen cabinets to keep little out of things. The home is lovely, comfortable (beds too), nice selection of pillows, LOTS of towels and basic spices. You will need to bring your own firewood, great fire pit area! The location is fantastic! We were no more than 20 minutes from MANY sights. Light house, Bryan animal preserve, Anchor Bay tide pools and great beach/waterfall (5 minutes north) enter through the Anchor Bay campground and get a day pass. Nice bathrooms available, and showers if needed. Bowling Ball beach was attempted but the last leg of the hike was too hard for a toddler. There is a GREAT park for kids at Sea Ranch, from that park take the trail straight out to the beach. You will arrive at the Harbor Seal pupping area. It is amazing! We saw so many babies! I learned that you must not wear bright colors! It frightens the babies....I quickly chucked my hot pink hoodie and had a dark t-shirt underneath and all was well in their world again. There are two great viewing points for seals. Then continue south on the trail for a great access beach to hangout on. We found sea shells, and a few adult seals did a swim by! This is just some of the great things we did, there is so much in Gualala to do! So back to the house...we cooked there the entire week, other than two meals, and had everything we needed. You will need to bring your own baggies, etc. For packing lunches/leftovers. Also recommend to bring slippers for the tile floor. It gets a tad chilly, even with heater on. I wore two pairs of socks and that worked too. We will stay at the coastal cabin again!

This is the second time we've stayed here and we were not disappointed. Though not a large place, it is spacious enough for four people. The beds are comfy and the layout is nice. Nothing fancy, but very clean and comfortable. I only wish it had two bathrooms but I knew it didn't have that when I rented it. A huge plus is that they accept dogs which is getting harder to find these days. Perfect for a long weekend getaway!

This was a great house for four of us and the dog. The house had everything we needed and was very cozy. The yard was great for our dog, calm with beautiful redwoods.
