A carpenter and engineer, he developed a business constructing houseboats in Sausalito.

In the ’90s, Forbes added a 40-foot lighthouse and a white picket fence.

Weekend Trip to Moon Crest Valley Ranch

We had the greatest time!! Spent a weekend with our 15 month old and two dogs. There was so much for our toddler to explore, plus enough privacy to not have to worry about our dogs barking at every little noise. Gorgeous property, convenient location, thoughtful accommodations, wonderful host. Will definitely come back to enjoy the summer season!

Weekend Trip to Moon Crest Valley Ranch

We had such an incredible experience here! My friend and I stayed here for some yapping and immersing in nature time together over the weekend - the land is BEAUTIFUL overlooking some incredible canyons. There’s so much to do here, we frolicked around on some hikes, played a bit of baseball up on the hill, made a campfire and enjoyed the complimentary smore kit. Brendan provided absolutely everything we needed - he was such an incredible and thoughtful host, greeted us when we arrived and also gave us a tour of the land! Overall, 10/10 experience, and I feel so fortunate to have been able to spend time here and would highly recommend staying for the weekend.

Beautiful land with spectacular views, birdsong and lovely farm animals. We were in nature but all essential amenities were thought of, and there were tons of games and activities for the entire family. Beautiful trails on property. Brendan was warm and welcoming, and visited the farm animals with our 5yo which he loved. We'll definitely be back.

Sarah’s cabin was a cozy dream, beautiful house and hot tub tucked in the middle of the redwoods. Sarah was a quick communicator and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Walking distance to a Russian river beach if you ever get out of the hot tub!

Weekend Trip to Private Cabin (w/ hot tub & sauna)

We were a group of 6 girls and had an incredible time in this cozy cabin nestled in the redwoods! The host has thought of everything - it was fully equipped with kitchen stuff and toiletries, and had super comfortable beds. We loved using the hot tub and sauna. Lastly, the location is perfect - you're walking distance to Rio Nido and a short drive to Guerneville and Armstrong Redwoods. Highly recommend!
