Venado's existing 33 acre parcel was originally part of several hundred acres by the original homesteader, who was a prune farmer. We purchased the last parcel directly from the granddaughter of that farmer. If you walk 200 yards down the road from us, you'll see the original redwood hut that was the post office for the hamlet of Venado.  Keep walking another small bit, and you'll see the old cabin used in the 1800s as a restaurant, store and yes, brothel up above, serving the loggers who cut the redwood that built most of San Francisco's homes. Two miles east on Mill Creek you can see the one-room schoolhouse that the original owner's daughter attended, only a short commute fro their home by horseback.  Today, Venado Retreat is the shared vision of Noor and Deborah Adabachi. Noor is a custom furniture designer/crafter, sculptor and scenic designer who yearned for the life he remembered as a child in Lebanon. Deborah is an actor, voiceover and coach who runs a theater company in SF who wanted to offer the power of nature to urbanites for relaxation,  inspiration and renewal. We offer many facilities including  a 1200 square foot enclosed event space, a 500 square foot glass-enclosed sunroom, 3 bedroom log cabin, redwood grove, yoga deck and more. We host company retreats, workshops and trainings, weddings up to 80 people and farm to table events. Together this young dream manifests and grows with every guest who walks the land. We look forward to hosting you.

This was such a magical weekend - the Yurt was cozy and warm, the kitchen lovely and the hosts could not have been any more gracious and warm. I hope to come back again and again. Thank you for making my birthday weekend so special.

We only stayed briefly, but had a fantastic time. It's a beautiful location with a great tent space and a welcoming community space. Would highly recommend.

This place is gorgeous, right in the middle of nowhere in a lovely way. The drive to the property alone is breathtaking. The tent itself was cozy, the kitchen amenities fantastic (cooking alfresco among the trees each night), and very interesting and cool people from around the world staying elsewhere on the property. Lovely trails, and a great deck out of the back of the tent suspended in forest.

This was a quaint, beautiful place built on love and inspiring ideas. Our tent was perfect- it was so roomy for the two of us, and we had a light and heater. It was a short walk to the main house where we cooked meals and ate at one of the many outdoor tables around the house. Deborah and her husband Noor were so friendly and we had lovely conversations with them. They gave us recommendations and we really enjoyed their company. We had more than enough privacy and it was very quiet at night. The property is growing and Deborah and Noor have so many ideas and projects - we can't wait to visit this retreat again when some of those are completed. There was construction during our stay, but Deborah warned us and we were out and about all days anyways. Cannot recommend staying here enough!

The location is beautiful and secluded but only 15-20 min from the heart of Healdsburg. We stayed in the yurt which was really spacious and comfortable. They are still building all the dwellings on the property so we had to deal with construction non stop all weekend. This felt particularly offensive since it’s marketed as a meditation and yoga retreat. Still, my husband and I had a good time and can see the potential.

The retreat is very beautiful. I woke up with the birds chip and took a nice walk in the morning. The sunroom is spacious with lots of sunlight. I really enjoy reading and doing yoga there. The shower room and the kitchen is clean. If you want to enjoy nature with the hassle of bring all the camping equipment and spend time setting up and packing, this is the perfect glamping option for you! The hosts are very friendly and kind, you might get to taste some secret homemade cocktail.
