Hidden Acres Retreat

The stay

Enjoy this private and secluded home tucked in the woods. Birdsong and rustling redwoods soundtrack your morning coffee on the stone patio. Soak under stars in your private hot tub, nestled among 1.6 forested acres. This cheerful 2-bedroom cabin sleeps 4, with room for your dog to explore the woodland trails. Just 1.4 miles to Russian River Pub, 1.5 miles to Korbel Winery, and 5 miles to Armstrong Redwoods.

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 on the deck with the day's bottles. A modern sofa and two camel-leather accent chairs face the stone fireplace (not available for guest use) with wood mantel, angled for forest gazing. Orange geometric art pops against the shiplap, and an Xbox One with YouTube TV covers movie nights. Open shelving and full-size appliances keep the galley bright, and a round dining table for four sits on Windsor chairs beside a corner window framing the redwoods. OUTDOOR LIVING The expansive flagstone patio creates an outdoor room among the trees. Fire up the gas grill for barbecues, then dine al fresco at the table. Cornhole boards wait for friendly competition, and two wicker egg chairs in a forest clearing offer a quiet reading spot. After dark, slip into your private hot tub for a starlit soak — the ultimate end to a Russian River day. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS Two bedrooms and a sofa bed sleep up to four guests. The first bedroom offers a queen bed with signature shiplap walls and forest views. The second features a double/full bed in the same bright aesthetic. A queen sofa bed in the living room adds flexible sleeping.

Guest access

Drop into the private hot tub against the bold red exterior, then come inside to a bright shiplap interior that reads white and airy after the deep forest outside. You've got the whole cottage, dogs welcome, with a BBQ, outdoor dining, and a flagstone patio that doubles the living space. Grab the key from the lockbox; up to three cars fit in the driveway.

Things to know

• The wood stove is decorative only — please don't use it, as noted by the reminder on the unit. • While there's no washer/dryer, you're here to unplug anyway! • The cabin stays naturally cool thanks to the redwood canopy, and the mini-split AC handles the occasional heat wave. • Your High-speed internet keeps you connected when needed, though the spotty cell service might be a blessing in disguise. • The separate Nut Nook structure on the grounds makes a perfect reading retreat on breezy afternoons. • Sonoma County strictly limits occupancy to 4 guests total (children count) — violations carry hefty fines, so please respect this rule. • The primary renter must be 21 or older.
