About this villa rental

Pocket Paradise is a custom-built home in the heart of West Sonoma County. Located on 3 forested and landscaped acres between the towns of Forestville and Guerneville in a neighborhood called Pocket Canyon, this is a retreat for the whole family. A pocket of sunshine surrounded by redwood-covered hills, you'll lounge around the pool and in the hot tub, BBQ on the back deck, explore and picnic by the pool, and love life outdoors in temperate Northern California!

With room for 8 guests to cook and hang out in the generous kitchen with stainless steel appliances and Viking oven and gas range, you can cook to your heart's delight or visit well-loved local restaurants with equal aplomb. Play pool in the loft, Scrabble in the living room, or check out the big screen TV when you've had your fill of the outdoors. Enjoying quality time with friends and family couldn't be easier!

Pool and Hot Tub: The pool is heated mid-May to mid-October and is available year-round (even when not heated). The hot tub is built into the pool and heated separately – year-round. It takes approx. an hour to heat and remains at temperature for 4 hours. Both are under a safety cover. Detailed instructions are provided.

Stairs and Paths: Pocket Paradise is a 2-story home, and the pool and pool house are on a lower terrace. Multiple sets of stairs and paths connect the indoor and outdoor spaces.

There are 3 stairs from the parking area to the front door and 4 from the dog run area into the laundry room. There is a flight of stairs from the entry area to the loft. From the back deck, there is a short flight of steps to a gravel path to the pool area. Another set of shallow steps (approx. 8 stairs) leads from the front of the house to the pool area. Both doors into the pool house have 3 stairs. Paths and outdoor stairs follow natural contours and are not evenly spaced or level.

Dog Run: The dog run is a great spot for Fido to go to the bathroom, but it will not hold in a determined dog.

Satellite Wifi: While great for checking email and social media updates, the service is not suited to streaming or heavy uploading and downloading.

Roads to Pocket Paradise: The private road to the house is well-maintained but gravel and dirt and not on most online maps. Guests are provided with written directions and signage on the private road.

This was our destination the property so beautiful we never left and we didn't have to this place had it all and if it didn't we had great restaurants and groceries delivered right to us. The pool was the main attraction plus ample space to spread out and relax and enjoy. Awe spent evenings in the garden, playing pool and rejuvenating in the jacuzzi. We will be coming back.

The house was clean and comfortable, but the property and pool is the highlight! It’s a good location if you want to visit Bodega Bay and surrounding little towns or just float in the pool. It was freakishly hot when we were there (for the area) and was over 100 every day, but the AC kept the house very cool. Our only con was the bed…I’m not sure what kind of situation that was but it was weird. Kinda like someone put a thin squishy mattress on top of a trampoline? Please replace the bed with a regular mattress AND a box spring. It sits about 10” off the ground so you need to crawl onto the bed and getting out if awful.

We really had a great time. The pool and hot tub were perfect for our needs. The kitchen could have been a little better equipped for things like a whisk, but the basics were there. The area beside the pool house where the floats are kept was pretty much a mess and should be organized better but the overall property was quite nice. It's a beautiful setting in the woods!

Thank you for being great Hosts! I really enjoyed my stay! Will say cellular reception is practically non existent, however there was clear instructions on how to enable WiFi calling for most phones. There was another room for pets to roam around in the yard and there was clear directions on how to use the hot tub! Definitely recommended this place for a quiet get-away!

The home was comfortable with a great fireplace, spacious deck that has a beautiful view of the property which was really serene, green, and beautiful. The beds were great, a bit soft for some but comfortable nonetheless, and there was plenty of parking. The hot tub was great once we got it working via the main panel, and the proximity to Forestville was great. Overall loved it and would recommend.

Great property! So much space for kids to run around and explore. Great hot tub and pool. This property to perfect for dogs with the dog run minus the yard where dogs can escape through the fence. Very clean!

Staying at this property was like stepping into a fairy tale setting straight from the movies. The soothing sound of a nearby creek, redwood trees, full privacy from neighbors around made it a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The house struck a perfect balance between its enchanting setting and modern comforts. It was exceptionally clean, and the modern amenities provided a convenient and comfortable stay. A particular highlight was the pool table upstairs. Weak internet connection, but this was understandable given the remote location and actually helped us to disconnect and fully enjoy the natural beauty around us. The only drawback was related to the check-in process. We had requested an early check-in due to a dinner reservation 45 minutes away, but the property manager was unable to accommodate us, citing an ongoing inspection. However, when we arrived 1 hour earlier, waited in the car, there seemed to be no inspection happening, which was slightly disappointing. In summary, this property offers a magical escape amidst nature, with the comfort of modern living. Its cleanliness, serene setting, and unique charm provided an unforgettable experience. It's an ideal getaway for those seeking peace and a touch of enchantment in their travels.
