About this house rental
Sleeps 2
Our house in Enchanted Meadows (that is the actual name of the area, you couldn’t make it up!) in Anchor Bay, California is the perfect place for a couple to get away for a few days. It sits on top a hill along famous Highway 1 on the coast. Because Enchanted Meadows is located in the so called banana belt, the weather is warm and sunny even if much of the coast is covered in fog.
The house has a living room and dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, one bedroom with a queen bed, a large bathroom with floor heating and a huge deck around the house.
The house sits in a Redwood forest with a partial blue water ocean view. You can hear the waves and sea lions from the house. The setting is very private, calm and romantic. The deck and garden are perfect for hottubbing, relaxing, sunbathing, enjoying meals or watching the local wildlife. You will most likely meet the local bevy of quail, watch the hummingbirds dart around the garden, hear the ravens in the trees, see the chipmunks and squirrels and maybe get a glimpse of a deer.
One of the most wonderful features of the house is the light. In the morning, the whole house is flooded with warm morning light. Watching the full moon from the hot tub on the deck or through the windows inside the house travel across the night sky is spectacular. And without the moon, the sky is exploding with stars and planets, an amazing experience from the comfort of the hot tub. For city dwellers the lack of light pollution is awe-inspiring.
In the winter, the wood burning stove in the living room will keep you warm and cozy.
Though you feel like you are away from it all, you are very close to civilization. Anchor Bay is just 5 minutes down the hill and offers a small supermarket, two restaurants, and a coffee shop. Gualala is about 10 minutes to the south and offers a variety of restaurants, two supermarkets, a post office, gas stations, and gift shops. Gualala is about 10 miles north of Sea Ranch in Sonoma County.
The spectacular Mendocino coast and its beautiful beaches are a great place to explore, hike, fish, dive and surf.
Our house is a short drive to the Point Arena Cove and the Point Arena Lighthouse which offers some of the best whale watching on the entire West coast.

Katrina’s property has become our go-to vacation home in the area.
As soon as we walk onto the deck we begin to feel relaxed and happy. From the expansive deck with a hot tub under the stars and the living room surrounded by windows looking out onto the forest, to the convenient extra sleeping areas in the other buildings, this home has all that's needed for a wonderful jumping off point to the many nearby beaches and trails in the area. We will be back!

Had a wonderful stay here! The deck and hot tub were the perfect place to hangout. Being in the trees with a nice view was the perfect way to spend the weekend. I would highly recommend making a trip to the Gualala river. Very beautiful, quiet and clean. Hope to come back again soon!

Just as described. Clean, quiet, isolated, in the forest, but close to the ocean.

Everything about this rental was easy. From communication to operation instructions all were remarkably easy. The house was better than I imagined. Everything was clean, functioning, and comfortable without being fussy. When the arrangements are so easy I have no trouble relaxing quickly and really enjoying my surroundings so many thanks and kudos to you Katrina!

Gorgeous location not far from restaurants and all the coast has to offer. Beautiful view from the deck. Super easy instructions for things you need. Lovely rustic setting in the serene trees. We missed the part of the description that 2 of the bedrooms are in separate buildings but the owner was super easy and understanding. Very responsive. If you aren't sleeping together, make sure you see that 2 of the bedrooms are in separate structures and one of them uses the main house bathroom but it's not far between structures.

Stayed with my colleagues for a night- we all slept like rocks! Such a cozy and peaceful oasis. Katrina was very kind, responsive and accommodating!

Lovely cabin with flexible sleeping arrangements. Nice heated floors. Cozy fireplace. Steep drive up to property, best to arrive during the day.

Loved being in the trees and forest with this property, the out- bedrooms are good for privacy in a group setting. There are definitely critters and birds and more to this property be prepared for an active outdoor experience. Only thing to recommend is maybe bring a fan if it’s going to be warmer weather. And I would have loved more screens on the windows and doors. Loved the property though!

Coastal driving into the red woods. This was a nice quiet place with everything you need. Hot tub was great temp with a grill for family bbq. Would recommend highly

My 3 friends and I stayed here for my birthday weekend and it was perfect. It had everything we needed and we loved the tranquil surroundings in the forest. Communication with the host was a breeze. And we loved that we weren’t far from the main town and beach area. We’d definitely return!!! Oh one thing I’d suggest is to to bring an eye mask to sleep with if you’re sensitive to light. The two cabin rooms didn’t have curtains on the windows - which I understand why - they overlooked the beautiful trees. But it was helpful to throw my mask on in the morning so I could sleep longer.

Very peaceful and relaxing. The best vacation I've had in many years. I would love to spend time at this location again in the near future.

Lovely stay in a peaceful spot in the redwoods with a distant sea view. Great sitting out on deck listening to the ocean. We only stopped the night but enjoyed our stay.

We couldn’t wait to get back to this spectacular property! We again made full use of the hot tub, the deck, the grill and the calming and serene view. This time there were four of us, and the main house and other two buildings were perfect. Katrina was wonderful to work with. We shall return!

House is great, wonderful deck w ocean view, good kitchen, hot tub. Great location in the woods. Organized and attentive host. Would definitely come back.
4.0 / 5.0
This property is up a steep hill, but driveable. It's odd with a main house, 1 bedroom and deck, with another separate sparse bedroom on the same deck and another bedroom and bathroom with deck located below the main cabin. The Internet was spotty, but otherwise comfortable. If you're driving from Crescent City to Visalia, like we were, it's right in the center of the drive for a quick overnight.

This cottage is such a gem! Very spacious for 2 people and you feel totally secluded in the redwoods. The hot tub was awesome after days of hiking too.

Surrounded by forest, beautiful and comfortable. Truly a wonderful healing space.

This place exceeded our expectations! Beautiful surroundings and a view to lose yourself in as you sit on the deck gazing out at the ocean, fantastic setting! Very well-stocked kitchen with an array of cooking supplies, super clean, and instructions were easy to follow during our stay. Excellent communication with our host, very reliable WiFi. You can tell she puts a lot of love and effort into this place, making it special for all who stay here. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay and it was a perfect location on our coastal route drive from Crescent City to Oakland. The home was very clean and there was no issues. What we enjoyed most was peacefulness of the surroundings!

We only spent one night here but it made a great place to relax and recharge for our week long trip exploring California's coast and the redwoods.
4.0 / 5.0
Flawless check-in process, various quirks as far as cleanliness goes but nothing atrocious, & well-thought-out manuals. Very quiet and dark surrounding area. Morning breakfasts with the ocean view are supreme, and the stargazing (**when not foggy/overcast**) is better still. Be prepared for early rises as sunlight will come in quite early circa 6 am; the bedroom's curtains are more for aesthetics than functional purposes.
Overall wonderful stay for the price point, would rent again!

Loved our little retreat in the hills! The house had everything we needed for the few days we were there. I will agree with a previous review, if you sleep with more than one pillow bring your own! Other than that and the damp wood that was rather difficult to get lit, everything was wonderful. Hot tub was a wonderful addition to this hideaway.

Sweet home looks just like the pics. Comfortable, clean, surrounded by big, beautiful trees and you can still see the ocean and hear the waves crash at night. The stars are amazing. Great location and host communication.

We unfortunately only booked one night, but we had the most amazing time. The house has a wonderful location, nestled in the forest with stunning views. The setup was perfect for our family with the two cottages on that are separated from the house, to have some extra privacy. Check in was very easy and the house was very clean, well equipped and cozy. We had the best time enjoying the fireplace, the hot tub and the spacious living room and kitchen. We will certainly be back for a longer stay sometime soon!

This property was perfect for my partner and I's weekend getaway from busy San Francisco. The house had everything we needed to cook meals in, watch movies and TV on the couch, and relax at the end of the day in the hot tub. The property is secluded but you can also easily access gas stations and stores in case you forget anything. The view from the porch is absolutely stunning and if you feel like exploring, there are lots of short hikes and coastal access paths along Highway 1. Katrina was also super thorough in her directions and description about how to enter the property. We loved this spot and hope to return at some point in the future!

Beautiful house, amenities were great, hot tub was amazing! Located in the forest but still could hear the faint ocean. Beautiful colors of fall. Fire place was nice too.
Overall was a great, relaxing stay, would come here again and again!

Without a doubt, this is our new favorite place to stay. It has stunning views, fabulous natural light, and everything you need to relax and unwind. The home was very clean, well appointed, inviting and cozy. The owner was so kind and responsive. Staying longer would be the only way to improve upon our experience here. We cannot wait to return!

A beautiful, quiet cabin with 2 detached sleeping cabins. We were greeted with the aroma of redwoods and distant views of the ocean. Cozy cabin with all the amenities needed for a casual get together. Older furnishings but very clean. The hot tub is a wonderful addition to the experience. If you want a gorgeous north coast get-away, this is it!
We asked for an additional nights stay with short notice and the owner graciously accommodated our request.

We enjoyed our stay at this nice cabin in the redwoods. Location is great, with distant view of the ocean and tall trees all around the house, short drive to the beach. Everything in the house is clean and functional, large wrap-around deck with a hot tub and a grill. Very relaxing stay.

The pictures don't give this listing justice. It was so relaxing, and the hot tub was huge in the backyard. It was really nice to unwind after a day of hiking and view the ocean. The kitchen was fully stocked, and all the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean.

Katrina was so kind and made herself very available to us. She provided a lot of amazing recommendations and was able to accommodate our schedule for a short stay. The surrounding nature even in walking distance was beautiful. You could hear the sea lions. And the hot tub on the deck was fantastic. Really can't say enough good things about Katrina and her property.
5.0 / 5.0
Very relaxing house and neighborhood. No neighbors, no noise. The hot tub and view were amazing. You CAN hear the sea lions, as advertised. The road to get here is long and twisty but when you arrive, be prepared to enjoy yourself. Bring extra pillows though :)

We had 5 of us here for a nearby wedding in Gualala and were super pleased with our stay! House was cozy and pleasant, kitchen stocked and hot tub fantastic, with comfortable beds. We were all enamored with the deck as well. Would recommend for a relaxing stay in the area!
5.0 / 5.0
It was so good we extended our stay because we didn't want to leave. Two newly married Minnesotans on their honeymoon could not have asked for a better experience. Everything about the place felt so comfortable. It honestly felt like home. The place is equipped with everything someone would need for a remote getaway all while being close enough to many things to see or do. The host was also as good as it gets.
Tony Bennett once crooned "I left my heart in San Francisco" but for my wife and I, we left our heart on the hills of Redwood Way.
We will be back for as many anniversaries as life allows.
