A Coastal Redwood Retreat - 3 hours north of San Francisco

Description

Nestled between the redwoods and the Pacific Ocean on the Mendonoma coast, this peaceful home offers an ideal setting for sabbatical, writing, and creative reflection. Just a three-hour drive from the Bay Area, the property is immersed in natural beauty—where daily walks, whale sightings, and ocean vistas become part of the rhythm of life. Our home has been thoughtfully cared for and offers space for wandering, winter mushroom foraging, hot tub afternoons, and sunny days at Cook's Beach. Whether you're writing, relaxing with family, or simply seeking restorative time in nature, we hope the redwoods and ocean provide the calm and inspiration you need.
