31mi from Anchor Bay · 1 site · Lodging · Cazadero, CA
Discover a hidden gem in Cazadero- a cabin on a private 18-acre creekside property just 2 hours from the Bay Area. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of this 60s era cabin surrounded by a 400-year old redwood forest. Unwind in an outdoor clawfoot tub or gather around the fire pit for S’mores. With central heating, a grill, and a wood-burning fireplace, this cozy forest glamping retreat is your ideal destination for a family vacation or group getaway. The cabin sleeps up to four guests with a private bedroom that has two trundle beds, and a king-sized sleeper couch in the open living room. Enjoy waking up to birdsong and misty forest views before preparing breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen. Spin some vinyl on the turntable, seamlessly connected via Bluetooth. Relax on the wraparound deck for afternoon naps or nights under the stars. Camp Caz is kid-friendly, with innertubes for supervised creek fun and endless hours of exploring. For those seeking adventure beyond our haven, the Russian River in Monte Rio is a scenic 20-minute drive away. Parking is a breeze with the driveway accommodating 5-7 cars comfortably for day guests (please consult with the host). The Cazadero General Store is a quick five minutes away, ensuring extra beers or veggies for the grill are never in short supply.

Originally purchased in the late 60's by "Redwood and Savatri", Oz Farm was initially a commune of sorts and is no doubt a very special place...heck, its even got it's own comic book! Here you can pick your poison, as the property is comprised of 7 rustic cabins, redwood campsites, and geodesic domes that would make Buckminster Fuller proud. The working farm is comprised of over 230 accessible acres of flowing meadows, redwood groves, prime agriculture, and is intersected by the beautiful Garcia River, which flows into the mighty pacific. One thing that is very apparent, is how clearly passionate the community at Oz Farm is about ecology and agriculture. Once you step foot onto Oz Farm, you'll begin to understand why. The property is open seasonally and frequently rented by full-camp retreats and events throughout the summer. Individual cabins open to rent one month in advance and are advertised through instagram @villageozfarm

18mi from Anchor Bay · 1 site · Lodging · Philo, CA
This private off-grid cabin is tucked into the redwoods in a quiet part of Anderson Valley—pure forest, clean air, and easy access to the river just a short walk from the cabin. It’s the ideal mix of rural quiet and real comfort. The cabin is fully insulated, built like a small home, and heated with warm in-floor radiant heat that keeps the space cozy year-round. Inside, you’ll find a clean, simple layout with a full kitchen, a comfortable bed, a hot shower, and all the essentials for a stress-free stay. The space is intentionally minimal and uncluttered so you can truly relax. You’ll wake up to birds, not traffic, and fall asleep to complete silence. Outside, you can explore the forest, take the private trail to the river, swim or wade when the weather’s warm, or simply sit and enjoy the trees and the night sky. There’s no light pollution here—stars are bright, and evenings are peaceful. The property is quiet, spacious, and tucked away from neighbors. This is a great home base for anyone who wants to disconnect, hike, read, fish, explore Mendocino County, or just enjoy a few days of peace. It’s comfortable enough for couples, solo travelers, or small families who want nature without giving up warmth, privacy, or a real bed. If you want a cabin experience that’s simple, warm, private, and surrounded by forest—this is it.

For 70 years the Nelson family has been farming vineyards and attracting people every year to the beautiful region of Hopland. It is truly a family affair as each generation has put in their time and energy, infusing this ranch with their own flair. In 1951 Herman and Clara Nelson sold their ranch in what is now Silicon Valley and headed north, landing in Southern Mendocino County near the town of Hopland. Since then the mature prune orchards and grass-fed sheep that dotted the farm’s rolling hills have given way to an abundance of sustainable vineyards as well as Bartlett pears, an olive orchard, and live Christmas Trees. You will be staying on a working ranch, vineyards, and winery. We have several locations but none of them have hookups at this time. We have vineyard views and oak woodlands and hilltop valley views. We host weddings and other events. We have a tasting room and a redwood picnic area. We are the fourth owners of this property. The ranch has produced hops, prunes, pears, wine grapes, sheep, and cattle at different periods. Currently, we grow pears, grapes, strawberries, and Christmas trees.
