Weekend Trip to The Coastal Redwood Cabin | Creek
This is a lovely place to go for a little R&R! Easy to get to, serene location nestled within the redwoods. There's stairs that lead you to the river. Comfortable bed and good quality bedding, complimentary snacks and coffee. We went in November so the hottub was perfect for the cool nights. Close by Capitola, which we love to visit and did some hiking at Nisene Mark's State Park. We recommend this spot and may be back next year.

Bill’s land was one of the best hip camps I have ever stayed at! The Indonesian bedroom was so serene and I slept like a baby with the heated bed. The bathroom was so beautifully decorated with ornate paintings, little treasures, and the stained glass window was intricately stunning. The hot tub was a bonus and it was extremely close to the town of Petaluma and hiking trails. You definitely should stay here for a romantic getaway!

Weekend Trip to May's Luxury Farmstays
Absolutely WONDERFUL STAY! The location is a four minute drive to castle rock state park, the house is stocked with everything you may need including a full bar, seltzers and sodas, FRESH EGGS, and snacks (just bring your favorite creamer and bread for the perfect breakfast each morning)!
Our favorite part of the trip was the tub outside overlooking the lake that can be swam in along with their friendly fur animals that you can feed!
Highly recommend and hope to be back!

What a wonderful and relaxing experience. Forget to bring something… no worries this place has you covered! Amenities galore for a perfect glamping trip😁 perfect getaway from the city. Cozy pond with beautiful array of colorful fish. The hosts were delightful and welcoming. Loved the fun and friendly roosters, geese, ducks, and chickens. We will definitely be back again soon.

Bill had the most beautiful property in the rolling hills of Petaluma. My friend and I felt we had everything we needed and more! I loved hearing about the history of the property and finding out about the art continuing to be made here. Such a magical place! Thank you.

This place was just what I needed… better than glamping! A hidden retreat not far away from home. I can’t wait to come back

Overall, the campsite was a great experience! The accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the snack options were perfect—definitely a nice touch. The view of the city was absolutely stunning, and the peaceful, scenic atmosphere made it a relaxing getaway. Everyone we encountered was friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even better.
If I had one suggestion for the future, it would be to add more variety in terms of lodging. It would be awesome to see more tent options or even some expanded log cabin-style homes with extra bedrooms for families coming with kids. That would definitely take the experience to the next level.
Thanks again for a great stay!

This was our second time coming here, we loved it just as much as the first time. The pond with fish, the chickens, the view, the proximity to hikes. Just lovely.

We loved our time at this little studio. My daughter was overjoyed to feed the chickens and fish at their little koi pond.
We're already planning our next trip out there.

This was the most accommodating place I have ever stayed. The cupboards and drawers are chock full of food and just plain stuff. Ultra-friendly host. The geese were a great lot of fun. Bring lettuce to feed them. Comfortable space, great shower, big kitchen. A little out of the way but very private as a result. Space to wander. I recommend taking the road in from Saratoga. Much easier drive to the top of the hill.

Such a lovely stay! I enjoyed feeding the fish but regret not bringing lettuce for the chickens. Would highly recommend staying here. The amenities were a nice touch and the bed was cozy.

May's homestead was an amazing escape from the hustle and bustle of day to day suburbia. They go above and beyond to ensure your stay is stress ands hassle free while maintaining a zen-like retreat. The one thing I miss while away from home is my bidet but May's homestead exceeded my expectation with the Brondell bidet. It was just one of the many intricate details this retreat surprises guests with to surpass anything you can even imagine after looking at the pictures when you are about to book. Definitely will be returning and I highly recommend for any family or couple just looking to escape. Thank you both for an unforgettable weekend!

1 night at Swallowtail Historic Art Studio
The art studio was an incredibly unique and enjoyable experience. At first glance at the listing and the communications it might feel like there’s a lot of instructions. But once you are in the space it all makes sense, and you want to protect and respect the beauty Bill has created. There were so many sweet, and special touches. Fresh cut flowers, coffee and treats in the morning. While the room you sleep is cold and uninsulated, the bed is one of the most comfortable ones I’ve slept in away from home with a heated mattress and the most luxurious linen sheets. We loved the hot tub, the grounds and all the unique decor and structures. You will not regret booking your stay.

Great space, very chill. Very close to intersection of CA-35 and CA-9. Easy access to grocery stores, pharmacies in Saratoga and very close to all the parks along Skyline Blvd (CA-35).
There were other guests staying on the property close to us, but it wasn't a problem, but beware, there may be random children around due to this. The fish pond was extremely nice, I really loved the chickens, and there was a great view.
The Log Cabin was definitely a studio that was great for 2 people. I wouldnt want to stay there with more people.

The Indonesian wood cabin was adorable and in amazing shape as a true antique building. It was a step back in time where people lived more simply. The bed was very comfortable. The hot tub was relaxing and clean with a scenic view off the deck. The artistic touches throughout were beautiful and interesting to look at. The host Bill was very sweet and accommodating. I would love to see what the other structures on the property are like inside. Very unique and salt of the earth experience. Close to town but rural enough to hear the owls and coyotes at night.

Place was well stocked for cooking and eating there! The pond of koi fish, ducks, and chickens were so wonderful to spend time. I wish we could have spent more time hanging out there, especially on the deck. It was near other places to stay on the land but felt private and so special. I would recommend if you want a cozy place to stay while exploring the bay area.

A Perfect Getaway: Beautiful Views, Cozy Cabin, and Wildlife Galore!
We had an incredible stay at this charming log cabin at May’s log cabin studio farm! The setting is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views that you can enjoy from sunrise to sunset. The property is alive with friendly chickens, ducks, geese, roosters, and even ravens — it felt like our own little wildlife sanctuary.
One of our favorite features was the awesome fish pond filled with large koi and goldfish. The innkeeper thoughtfully provides packets of food so you can feed them, which was such a peaceful and fun experience. Definitely take the suggestion to bring along two heads of lettuce — feeding the chickens, ducks, roosters, and geese was an absolute delight and made the stay even more memorable!
The cabin itself was cozy and thoughtfully stocked. The kitchen was amazing — it had everything we needed to cook plentiful Vegan meals without missing anything. The fridge was generously stocked, which was such a nice touch. The bathroom was a dream, featuring a wonderfully large shower.
The awesome outdoor clawfoot tub made for a perfect end to long days of hiking - we used it every day during our stay!
Speaking of hiking, there were fantastic trails nearby that offered both peaceful nature walks and more challenging hikes, depending on what you’re in the mood for.
Overall, this stay exceeded our expectations — peaceful, scenic, and so well equipped. We can’t wait to come back! 🏕️🐓🛀🐠
