About this house rental
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 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.
Please no electric vehicle charging since we are off grid and our system can’t handle 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.

We stayed for 3 nights with our kids (3 & 1) and our dog. It was very cozy and we had everything we needed. The property is very private and clearly very well loved and cared for. While rustic, the kitchen had everything we needed. Our daughter enjoyed the collection of vintage VHS tapes upstairs and took advantage of the toddler toilet seat on one of the toilets. It was great to be able to contain our baby with the gate at the bottom of the stairs and the high chair we found in a closet. A few things to know: we saw a lot of bear poop around, so it’s best to keep your dog on leash or a long lead. The one time we let ours off, she came back covered in ticks and burrs. The largest upstairs bedroom doesn’t have a duct vent, so stays quite cold in the chilly months. The wood on the porch was pretty wet in November, so you may want to bring some inside to dry when you arrive. We brought some of our own kindling too. Overall we had a very cozy and enchanting time. The cabin was especially comfortable when it got frosty outside. We hope to come visit again!

The property is lovely and provides a wonderful escape from the city, perfect for a refreshing retreat. Although the bridge leading to the property may appear a bit precarious, it is structurally sound, and we were able to cross it without issue in a large vehicle. My senior dogs enjoyed having ample space to explore. It is advisable to apply tick collars a few days prior to your visit. The host was kind enough to provide us with this information before our arrival. We encountered a minor issue with the propane stove, but it was easily resolved by following the instructions. The hot tub was absolutely fantastic and wonderfully warm, and while it lacked jets, it was still perfect for relaxing and enjoying the scenery. It was a truly enjoyable trip, and we would certainly consider returning.
