Creek water murmurs just beyond the meadow as you sip coffee on the patio of this redwood hideaway. This modern secluded forest sanctuary sleeps 4 with a gas fireplace and your own private redwood grove. Marimar Estate's vineyard tasting room is just 5 minutes away, The Barlow's food scene 10 minutes. After exploring Sebastopol's artsy downtown, return to your 6-acre hideaway where a footbridge leads to evening walks along the creek. The forest feels like it's all yours here.
The space
Spend mornings on the patio as the valley wakes up, afternoons among the tasting rooms or hiking Sugarloaf Ridge, and evenings around the firepit with a bottle from the day's barrel visits.
Beneath the vaulted ceiling, a leather sofa and burgundy recliner face the stone gas fireplace so the flames hold the room. Sliding glass doors open wide to the patio and pull greenery into your line of sight. Speckled granite tops the galley with a window above the sink framing the trees, and the antique dining table draws the group together for slow evenings.
OUTDOOR LIVING
Step onto the brick paver patio where a trestle dining table seats six beneath a blue market umbrella — mountain views stretching beyond the maintained lawn. The grounds give way to dense forest, and a wooden footbridge leads you through the trees to the creek. Wander to the far right of the back meadow and you'll discover Gabe's Grove, a secluded redwood circle with its own bench and picnic table. Fire up the gas grill as the forest comes alive with twilight sounds.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
The primary bedroom envelops you in calm — a dark wood bed frame with slatted headboard, matching dresser with TV, and a sliding glass door that opens directly to the outdoors. Light hardwood floors and neutral tones set the stage for restful sleep. The second bedroom serves as a private sleeping den with a comfortable futon that converts to a queen bed. The home sleeps 4 guests.

The property was in a Idyllic setting. You cross a one lane wooden bridge to arrive at the home. A small creek runs along the house. One negative, no small items - dish soap wash cloths, I know it is not a hotel but I am use to the little niceties when I go to VRBO for extended stays and we enjoy cooking at home some nights.

I highly suggest you avoid this property and do not rent from Casago at all costs, unless you like nightmare experiences.
Honestly one of the worst Air BNB experiences I have ever had, and I've now stayed in over 50 properties. Total nightmare. Check in was very confusing and I honestly thought I had been scammed.
It was incredibly overpriced for a very run down cabin with cobwebs, broken down furniture, stains all over the walls and two uncomfortable beds, clutter in the closets, weird smells etc.
The entire listing falsely represented the property. The listing said there was AC and there was none
From my direct experience, Casago is a terrible management company and is poorly run. I left early and ended up getting a refund from Air BNB.
I felt extremely unsafe in this property as a woman traveling alone. I could barely sleep in this house I felt so uncomfortable and unsafe. The home and the land around the property were both poorly maintained and incredibly creepy.

Jana, thank you for the honest feedback — we're sorry your stay didn't feel the way it should have.
You flagged concerns about the overall condition of the home — cobwebs, worn furniture, marks on the walls, bedding comfort, closet clutter, and odors. That's not the experience we want for anyone, and candidly, this is the first time we've received feedback at this level for this property. We've still shared your notes with housekeeping and tightened our pre-arrival checklist so odors and arrival readiness get a closer look before the next guest checks in.
If you're open to it, we'd welcome a direct message here on Airbnb with the specific broken furniture or photos that concerned you most — that helps us address anything we may have missed.

Great stay in Sonoma
This was a super house in a lovely location, convenient to the coast (west), to wine country (east), to the redwoods (north)… We will come again.
