About this property

Super Private Custom Built Home on 388 acres.

This is a one-of-a-kind vacation rental because of the level of privacy and the large piece of property that is exclusively yours to use and explore. You will have the entire property (388 acres) all to yourself to enjoy. note- (occasionally the landowners may be staying in a cabin at the other end of the property about 3/4 of a mile away but this does not disturb the privacy or quietness of the house) . The house is a beautiful custom built home with hardwood cherry floors, two large redwood decks, four bedrooms and two baths, a family room, living room, dining room and is in one of the most beautiful locations that you can imagine. It is like renting a park without any other people. Located in the redwood belt you can enjoy miles of trails along cascading streams and little waterfalls that run through fern covered redwood forests. Swim in the pond, bike or hike along the trails, (kids can catch crawdads in the pond). The quietness of the property is truly amazing and is like nothing you will find anywhere else.

Have an undisturbed family reunion in one of the most beautiful pieces of property that you will ever visit.

The custom built home is well maintained and has many homelike qualities. There is a large play set for the children and a gas barbeque for entertaining. A beautiful creek runs past the front of the house and two ponds are on the property. One of the ponds is only 100 feet from the house. There are numerous species of wildlife including hawks, owls, pond turtles, river otters, and great blue herons to name a few.

There are two decks, one is covered and faces the pond and the other faces a meadow with 250 year old oak trees. The kids can pitch a tent in the adjacent meadows and explore the forests and creeks while you lay in the hammock among the oak trees.

This rental is as close to a wilderness adventure as you can get without actually having to rough it.

Holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving, Memorial Day, Labor Day Fourth of July etc) are charged at normal summer rates and may have longer minimum stay periods.

Quiet house in the woods

The house was exactly what we expected. My husband had a great time exploring the trails. Am wondering the property. Wish it hadn’t snowed on us though but was beautiful to see. We’d love to return to this property in the summer to see it at a different time. There were 5 of us along with two dogs a still plenty of room a beds. Plus we had company from other family that lives in willits. Would w been nice not to have to lea e at 330am but overall we truly enjoyed our stay. We did have gate problems that when I called Art he fixed right away. So he was very helpful a nice. We did run into a neighbor on the single road after the gate an had a small issue of trying to get around but was an easy fix. Thanks for letting us use your home. We hope to be able to do it when it’s warmer.

Retreat in the woods

This is a peaceful and wonderful comfy house in the woods. It is off grid, and we had a lovely time maintaining a fire, going for walks, playing games, watching movies, and overall detaching from the world. It is quiet and beautiful, we'll definitely come back again!

A beautiful stay in the woods

The only sounds you could hear from the property were the natural sounds of the woods. No other property within 66 acres of woodlands, and almost none withing 3 miles. Just a lovely place for a small family vacation.

Relaxing Forest Reunion

The property is beautiful and the house was lovely. We had plenty of room and the outside area was so wonderful for our dogs to play and explore. They especially loved the pond. There was a hiking trail and a deserted road for walking. Art was great about responding to questions before we arrived and check in was easy. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Communication With Hosts / Beautiful Property

Art was super nice and helpful! The property was gorgeous with redwood trees all around it and the house was fully stocked with anything you need kitchen and laundry wise. We swam in the pond and it felt surprisingly clean even though it’s a pond. Long drive in with gravel parts, but fun nonetheless! Lots of activities to do around the house such as frisbee golf, hot tub, rope swing, and hiking trails to name a few! The wifi worked perfectly and you could stream movies on the tv easily. Overall loved our stay!
