Peace, Quiet, and the Coziest Cabin

Birders Cabin (Sherman Island)
I had such a beautiful, restful stay at Ceci and Steve’s cabin on Sherman Island. I came for a solo writing retreat and left feeling deeply reset. The cabin is cozy, clean, and thoughtfully set up, and the clawfoot bathtub was an absolute dream after long, quiet days of resting and writing.
The land itself is really special. Waking up to birdsong, spending time birdwatching during the day, and then stepping outside at night to see a sky full of stars felt like a gift. Even with the winter wind rolling through, there was something grounding and powerful about being out there between the rivers, surrounded by open land and wildlife.
Ceci and Steve are wonderful hosts, and you can feel the care they put into the space and the animals around them. This is a perfect place if you’re looking for solitude, nature, and a true pause from city life. I’m so grateful for the time I spent here and would absolutely return.

Steve and Ceci are such lovely and down to earth people! Staying at their place was really enchanting, the cabin feels like something out of Snow White-it’s simple but also very detailed and you can tell thought was put in the space. The clawfoot bathtub was wonderful, and despite the winter chill the place managed to stay warm. There’s a bookshelf full of books with California flora and fauna. Their dogs are funny and very active, and there’s maybe about. 60 chickens there? Both domestic and wild. Both the area in the back next to the cows and the highway besides the river were lovely to walk beside and explore.
Overall it was a wonderful way to get away from the hustle and hustle of things and relax and explore! Hope to be back soon 💕

I had a wonderful stay here. The silence, stars, multitude of birds (including Sandhill Cranes!), water, and joyful farm animals were restorative for my soul. The rustic and charming cabin was delightful with a window view of splendid sunsets, cool art and stylistic decor, an efficient heater, and a spacious bathtub. The hosts were gracious, responsive, welcoming, and thoughtful; they went above and beyond in making sure my stay went well.

Birders Cabin (Sherman Island)
I had such a restorative, restful time at Steve and Ceci’s beautiful cabin on their farm on Sherman Island. I had been worried that it was too close to civilization to give me the peace and quiet I was looking for but this couldn’t have been further from the truth. While the cabin was close enough to town to meet with friends in Walnut Creek or get supplies, it was far enough away to feel worlds away from San Francisco. Steve and Ceci were consummate hosts, providing everything I needed from additional firewood for the fire pit (and accompanying fire building assistance!) to bottled water. The clawfoot tub with bath salts was a particularly lovely touch but the cabin was extremely comfortable and well-appointed. My dog absolutely adored staying here, and was able to roam the large property that was completely fenced in, meeting the farm dogs and the chickens. There is even a hammock and a comfortable lounge chair to do some reading in the shade. What more could you ask for?

Steve and Ceci are so open and generous, the spot is really beautiful, and the cabin is perfect for a solo getaway. I even saw river otters and sandhill cranes walking distance from the property. I highly recommend this spot!

Ceci and Steve were so warm and accommodating for my dog and I last minute. I couldn't have imagined a better place to reset. This was my first time using hipcamp. I was set on finding a cozy inn to retreat to for the weekend and get somewriting done. Of course everything was booked or insanely expensive so I turned to hipcamp and I truly couldn't have planned it better. The cabin had everything I needed to be comfortable. You could really tell that so much thought went into every little detail. From the clawfoot tub, to porch with the little fenced in yard. Every light was on a dimmer! I was so charmed by this as someone who works with light a lot (photographer) and love creating ambiance! Clearly they poured their hearts into creating such an amazing space. I kept joking to my friends the cabin was like a storybook and I felt like I was the Celestial Seasons Bear.
They were both so sweet to my dog Beaux and we had lots of nice walks around the property and beyond. Only downside was it was a bit muggy and buggy at times so definitely prepare if you're sensitive to mosquitos or other critters. This was no fault of Ceci & Steve's and to be expected when visiting the Delta! Oh, and there really were so many amazing birds to view and the sound of birdsong and coyotes throughout the day and night. The whole experience was so dreamy and relaxing and I definitely want to go back!

Delta Respite is exactly what I needed.
Ceci & Steve greet you when you arrive to explain things. Wonderful warm hearted folks who made me feel so welcomed. I’m an avid kayaker & birder and this certainly checked all the boxes. Be sure to have coffee on the hill in the morning. Great spot to greet the day!
I will return to this special place.

The cozy cabin on Steve and Ceci's property was perfect for my solo getaway. The cabin has just what you need to unwind and relax - a lounge chair with a little fire pit, a soaking tub with a candle and bath salts with a rack to hold my kindle/book while soaking. The small table provided space to eat and sit to watch the bird bath and sunsets. Steve and Ceci were so welcoming to me and my dog, we are very grateful for their space!

Steve and Cecil’s property is amazing. I was feeling like time was going really fast in my daily routine and was looking for a short, solo break away to slow things down. This spot delivered! I really enjoyed wandering about, reading outside, taking a bath, and hanging out with all the animals. Chickens especially were super entertaining, always up to something. Winnie the pig is so incredibly special.
Steve and Ceci were such gracious hosts, and lovely people. I can’t recommend their place enough for a quick getaway!

I had a lovely weekend on a solo trip with my dog. Ceci & Steve are so friendly, the dogs, chickens, and pot-belly pig are delightful, and the cabin is super clean and cozy! Perfect spot for rest and relaxation. I took walks at sunset, read books, watched birds, painted, and soaked in the claw foot tub! Hoping i can return in the Fall 🙂

What an amazing stay! This was probably my favorite stay I’ve ever had, the space was so cute and cozy and Ceci and Steve were so kind. You also can’t beat that tub! I’m solo traveling with my little dog and we both felt so comfortable and safe staying. I will never forget it ❤️

Peaceful get away. Sweetest dog in the world. And the hosts are friendly, kind, and really make you feel welcome. If you’re looking for a cute little cabin getaway not too far from the Bay Area, this may be the place for you!

Really enjoyed the quiet and nature hard to find traveling for work. It’s perfect for 1 person, hotel or cabin? I look forward to next time take a longer walk. Took a walk around the property at sunset, beautiful view, relaxing at the end of the day and then a bath! The best after driving 8hours. The birds, coyote and nature whats not to love.

I loved staying at the cabin. It’s so close to town, yet feels like you are far away in the countryside, with chickens and birds and trees all around, and the water is just a short walk away. Waking up to the sound of birdsongs and rustling leaves, without any noise from cars, people or airplanes, felt like a dream come true. It was also such a pleasure to meet the lovely hosts—and of course, sweet and friendly dog Willie! ❤️❤️❤️

Such a tranquil place for me and my dog to refresh and rejuvenate from burnout and do nothing. You can see and hear different birds from treetops to ground floor-owls, blackbirds, chickens and roosters. I have a harmless bird dog vizsla lab mix and he loved it so much. The chirping was very Snow White and relaxing to hear. We even got the chance to meet Winnie the pig who was so super sweet. We left the back gate and were able to walk and collect our thoughts as we bird watched and enjoyed the view of Mount Diablo in the distance. The perfect do nothing place! I wish we stayed an extra day longer. It was cozy for me and my dog. The hosts were lovely, inviting, kind, and friendly. My dog loved their dogs.

Kind and thoughtful hosts. Surrounded by animal companions (dogs, birds, cats, cows… farm life). Rich fertile land, wide open quiet space. Delicious bathtub and a fire pit.

What a peaceful place! The hosts were very kind and had all sorts of cool animals. The bath tub was awesome and the epsom salts were a nice touch. Thanks for the relaxing stay. I was able to make a lot of art

Steve and Cici's place was ideal. I decided to take a last minute overnight trip to get away from work and decided to stay here because it was in a new part of the Bay Area I hadn't spent much time in and because of the great reviewa. I found the solitude I was looking for there but also felt safe. The property is on marshland and although I am not a border, I was amzed by the bird life. It is far beyond what you see at my wetlands experiences at Shoreline Park in Mountain View. I was blown away by the variety and number of birds visible from their property and in every direction. The cabin amenities included the most comfortable bed I've slept on, an oversized clawfoot bath and a firepit just outside the cabin door. I enjoyed spending time watching the fire and the dark night sky before sleeping well and riding home and work the next day. The night spent at the cabin was refreshing and renewed my spirit. I felt renewed. Thank you!

I’m from the Bay Area and wanted to go on a quick staycation weekend during a hectic time and this was just the solo getaway I needed to reset and refresh! The cabin itself is so cute and well decorated and was really clean and well appointed. Many thoughtful touches are provided, from nature books and binoculars in the bookshelf to coffee and a coffee maker to epsom salt and a tray to set your book on for the claw foot tub. I really enjoyed wandering in the fields behind the property at sunset, and waking up to hens and baby chicks wandering through the front patio of the cabin every morning. I also got visits from Willie the dog and Zara the cat which was so fun! when I got there Cici gave me a tour of the property and was very helpful over text anytime I had a question while there! Both Steve and Cici were so kind and considerate the whole time. They were really respectful about letting me have my privacy at the cabin and respecting the amount I was wanting to engage with them or not while there. I love to meet new people and am a chatterbox when I get going, so during my time there I had some absolutely wonderful conversations with Steve and Cici! They are both delightful, and by the end of my two day stay it really did feel like I was staying with family friends. Steve and Cici have built a beautiful and peaceful space and have such a wonderful sense of community, I will absolutely be back again soon!

Everything about Birder’s Cabin was amazing. From the cozy cabin to the beautiful land. It felt like a home away from home. Ceci and Steve were excellent hosts. My dog and I enjoyed every second. Our mornings were filled with bird songs and the nights with owls and crickets. The fresh fruit and veggies from the vine were a special treat. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a rejuvenating solo experience!!

This cabin was a wonderful respite, and I fully intend to return soon. It’s quiet, private and feels a world away from Oakland/SF. Charmingly decorated, super comfy bed, nice fire pit — what more could you ask for?
Steve and Ceci were wonderful hosts. Kind and genuine, they made me feel at home. Thank you.

A piece of heaven on Steve and Ceci's land. What was distinctive was that it had both a more intimate space with the farm animals and yard, but then beyond the gate, there was wide-open spaces for lots of peaceful walks and sunsets. Great way to have both choices.
Steve and Ceci were excellent hosts--easy to talk to in person and fast on text to answer questions about the area, but also conscious of giving me my space. Steve even helped me with my car when i ran over something by the toll booth. Such lovely people and dog lovers to boot!

This tiny cabin is exactly what the Dr ordered. The property is absolutely beautiful, the animals are such sweethearts, the owners Ceci and Steve are the most kind and interesting people you'll ever meet. This is a little slice of paradise and the perfect place for a solo getaway. I'll be coming back again and again. I love this place. Can't wait to come back and see all my new friends both human and animal❤️
