Treat yourself to a quiet getaway for one at this cozy, clean and comfortable cabin on our rural farm, between two rivers, on Sherman Island. Located in the eastern San Francisco Bay Area at the confluence of the San Joaquin River, Sacramento River, and the eastern terminus of San Francisco Bay, Sherman Island is known for its wildlife, sunrises, and sunsets, and its dark sky for stargazing opportunities.
The property is surrounded by alfalfa fields, grazing cattle, sheep, and a wildland habitat populated with migratory and native birds, animals, and plants.
The one-room cabin has a bed and clawfoot bathtub with hot water offering a peaceful escape on our 5-acre tree-lined farm. Here you can listen to birdsong instead of the sounds of the city. This is an ideal cabin for birdwatchers, writers, plein air painters, nature photographers, stargazing, windsurfers/kiteboarders, meditation, or some stress-free, peaceful reset time.
The private cottage has a refrigerator, microwave, compostable dinnerware, drinking water, and a coffeemaker with coffee. It is air-conditioned in summer and heated in winter.
Pets are welcome and free to enjoy being off-leash in the cabin's fenced yard. The hosts raise free-range chickens and bees on their farm and also conduct a nonprofit rescue and hospice for senior pets.

State habitat/preserve populated by wildlife and seasonal birds.

Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) protects open space on the Peninsula and in the South Bay for the benefit of all.
Situated on top of a ridge with expansive redwood forest and coastal views, the Audrey Edna Cabin provides a completely private gathering place and destination for visitors with reservations. The cabin has spectacular views of forest, sky, ocean and the Butano ridgeline. It's a short hike to 8000+ acres of county parkland where you can hike, bike and ride horses (though please note, there are no facilities for horse boarding at the cabin.) The cabin is located at Alpine Ranch, a property adjacent to Sam McDonald County Park that was protected by Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST).
Whether you are looking for an active experience or just want to relax in a peaceful, remote setting, there's something here for everyone.
This is a rustic hike-in cabin designed for a introductory pack-in experience. Bedding is not provided. It is about a 1.7-mile hike on a rolling dirt road from the Sam McDonald County Park parking lot, with about 650 feet of elevation gain. Most hikers can reach the cabin in an hour or less. Guests should plan to arrive at least 2 hours before sunset, and pack water and flashlights or headlamps. Guests with limited mobility, please contact us for information regarding accommodations that will allow you to access this shared resource.
*A note about reservation availability: On the weekends, POST offers priority reservations for the cabin to our partners at the San Mateo County Health Department and Park Rx to provide patients with equitable access to the benefits of nature. Occasionally, we have last-minute public weekend reservation availability due to cancellations. The cabin is reservable up to 3 months in advance, on a rolling basis.
Love the idea of a hike-in cabin, but unable to visit us Sunday-Thursday? Check out the nearby Sierra Club Hiker's Hut in Sam McDonald County Park.
Property History:
At one time, the ridge of the Santa Cruz Mountains was a thriving center for trade between tribes of the coast and the bay, which we still find evidence of today in cultural sites and artifacts throughout the region. Native people have cared for this land since time immemorial, including the local Muwekma and Ramaytush Ohlone who are still active in the area today. This property specifically is host to a tributary to one of just a handful of waterways that support salmonids in this region, which are a species of tremendous importance to native people.
Over 1000 acres here were eventually purchased by entrepreneur Ridgeway Rowley, who built a home on the ranch in the 1880s as part of an unsuccessful wedding proposal to Fannie Page, daughter of a local mill owner (ever heard of Page Mill Road?) After being rejected by Fannie, Rowley operated the ranch for a decade in conjunction with his work as District Attorney and publisher of the Palo Alto Weekly, before eventually returning to his hometown of Cortland, NY, where he lived as a bachelor until his death. Over the course of the 20th century, the ranch was divided, some parts of which became Pescadero Creek County Park. POST purchased the 350 acre home property, now called Alpine Ranch, in 2012 through our Heart of the Redwoods campaign, an initiative to protect 20,000 acres of Redwoods in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Alpine Ranch borders Pescadero Creek County Park and Sam McDonald County Park, adding to the area’s protected open space and containing more than a mile of tributaries to Pescadero Creek, which flows year-round and is a major spawning stream for steelhead trout.
The Audrey Edna Cabin at Alpine Ranch is situated at one of the property's most scenic overlooks. The cabin was built in the early 1900's, and completely reconstructed up to modern building codes by POST in 2018 so that all could enjoy this special place.

Welcome to Sacred Owl Land — A Sanctuary for the Soul
Tucked into the serene hills of California’s central coast, Sacred Owl Land is a sacred, off-grid retreat space designed for rest, renewal, and reconnection with nature. We invite you to unwind in one of our two thoughtfully crafted cabana stays, each offering comfort, privacy, and expansive views of the surrounding landscape.
Each cabana features:
A beautiful queen-size bed or california King bed, loft style
Private indoor sink and hot shower
French press with coffee & tea (the tea is harvested from our land) and basic utensils
Small fridge
Large windows for stargazing or sunset watching from bed
Access to a shared outdoor composting toilet
Guests staying in either cabana also enjoy access to beautiful shared spaces, including:
A hot tub under the stars
A communal fire pit
A BBQ area
A peaceful outdoor yoga deck with ocean views
Whether you're soaking in the tub, practicing morning yoga, or enjoying the stillness of the land, Sacred Owl Land offers a deeply nourishing experience for body and spirit. Located just 20 minutes from the beach and walking distance to a local winery, it's a perfect escape into simplicity and sacred beauty.
For movement and mindfulness, we offer both an outdoor yoga deck with ocean views and an indoor yoga shala for quiet practice or group sessions. Sacred Owl Land is ideal for retreating, gathering, or simply being.
Nature lovers will appreciate the nearby walking trails and scenic hikes. More details will be shared after

What a paradise! Lounging in that cedar hot under a glorious oak tree, gazing out over the mountains is one of the most tranquil experiences of my life. Our yurt and the whole campground were the perfect blend of indoor-outdoor living. My five-year-old daughter had a blast! Mathilda was an outstanding host. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful getaway at the yurt with our Labrador. Bridgett and Curtis provided all the amenities to make this camping experience feel luxurious. Nisene state park was only a 20 minute drive away for hiking through gorgeous redwoods,

Amazing host, amazing lodging. Fun for the kids and adults, but GREAT if you have kids. The kids loved all of the animals, bikes, and trampoline. Our kids are almost 4 and 8 and they had a blast. Kim was very kind and helpful. We would definitely recommend the breakfast option as well! We would be happy to stay here again.

1 night at Yurt In The Redwoods
This was my and my husband's first time trying hipcamp I have to say this was a wonderful first experience, we really loved the Yurt and how incredibly peaceful the location is. We were only able to stay for one night but the loved the setup of the yurt, everything is so thoughtful and cozy and the quiet is exactly the relaxing getaway we needed. Thank you Bridgette and Curtis for hosting us, we will definitely be back someday.

What a beautiful spot! The sunset and sunrise were spectacular. We really enjoyed our comfortable dome and playing on the pickleball court while enjoying the view. It was a perfect stopover adventure.

We had a lovely stay at Windsor Family Farm over the weekend, with two families, us and my in-laws, and our two toddlers. The kids had the time of their lives running around the open field, biking, playing in the mini kitchen house, and getting to pet and feed the sheep, alpacas, pigs, bunnies, chickens, and tortoise.
The rooms were comfy, and we rented a separate cabin for the in-laws so everyone had their own privacy. Breakfast was fantastic and delicious, and for lunch and dinner we ordered from Morgan Hill and Gilroy, about a 15-minute drive away. The afternoons got a bit hot, but the nights were quiet and peaceful, we especially loved the bonfire and s'mores.
Overall, we loved our stay and can't wait to come back in the fall!

We recently stayed at Jim and Amy’s glamping property, and it was an absolute dream. From start to finish, the entire experience was flawless.
The Vibe & Views:
If you are looking for that authentic, peaceful ranch vibe, this is it. Positioned beautifully in Livermore, the property offers some of the most breathtaking sunrise and sunset views you could ever ask for. Watching the sun dip below the hills in the evening and waking up to the morning glow over the ranch was incredibly peaceful and a total highlight of our trip.
The Glamping Domes:
The accommodation itself is top-notch. The glamping domes are beautifully designed, immaculate, and offer the perfect blend of modern comfort and a unique outdoor experience. They are cozy, spacious, and provide a fantastic front-row seat to the surrounding nature without sacrificing any luxury.
The Hosts:
Jim and Amy are phenomenal hosts. Communication was seamless right from the beginning. They were proactive, incredibly welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay while perfectly respecting our privacy.
We absolutely loved our time here and cannot recommend Jim and Amy’s place enough. We will definitely be back!

We loved camping on Shelly's glamping tent. Hey property was private open and spacious. She left info about the different types of wildlife and plants which we appreciated as we brought our cars as they are quite adventurous. It did get cold at night but there were plenty of blankets.

Had a really magical experience at Vaza and Ludo’s place! The glamping tent was spacious and comfortable, the land was well maintained and the amenities were perfect for a relaxing weekend away from the city. Vaza especially made me feel really welcomed and was excited to hear about my plans while I was visiting. Really felt like home away from home. I would love to come back again sometime!

This place was so close to SF/East Bay but still felt like another world. Such a charming little cabin with countless birds and river otters if you’re lucky! And Ceci and Steve were such kind and gracious hosts. I will definitely be back.

Amazing gem of a place! We absolutely loved the stay here from start to finish. The yurt is magical, as is the surrounding forest and all its cute, furry (and slimy slug) inhabitants. Bridgette and Curtis were lovely hosts.

We had an amazing time at the Sky View cabana! The hosts were so welcoming and sweet. The grill we used was brand new and the hammocks at our site were perfect. We took a wonderful walk to the nearby winery and enjoyed seeing all of the July 4th fireworks from our awesome view from the loft bed. A peaceful and healing oasis. Would return for sure!!

Melissa’s treehouse was so lovely and comfortable! Having the amenities of a full kitchen, shower and toilet available were super convenient. We loved having our meals on the porch and enjoyed the quiet setting. Melissa is an attentive and detail oriented host, directions to the site as well as how to use the composting toilet were clear. I appreciated her recommendations for hiking and biking sites as well as going into the nearby towns. We brought our senior dog for a quiet getaway and she loved exploring with us. Highly recommend!

You will need any watercraft to be dry as a whistle or you risk invasive species that could close the lake. Make sure your paddles are taken apart to get dry and you will get inspected first thing before you head to the campground.

Dog friendly! The space is open and lots of hiking groups go through the camp grounds so you'll see lots of other people throughout the day, it's not a secluded campsite. The lake nearby is great for paddle boarding and a cold swim.

Really lovely spot for an easy getaway. I'm a pretty experienced backpacker, but needed a place close to San Francisco to break a friend into car camping. This was the perfect spot for it. It was active and I think fully booked, but not as crazy as I expected. Lots of kids around, so get earplugs if you sleep light. The sites are large and spacious, so even if you max out with 8 folks to a site you should be fine. Really great facilities, the fire pits are top notch. The reservoir was a little lame, the trails are generally ok. Nothing epic, but generally really pleasant. Probably where I'd take kids to for their first camping trip to break them into the outdoors.

Potable water available in conveniently located spigots along the family campground road, among the sites. Dogs on leash allowed for a fee. Fire pits are provided - there may be fire restrictions at times, but normally you'll enjoy having a campfire. September weekends and weekdays are generally not fully booked and not totally empty, either.

The campsites are pretty close together so expect to hear and see all your fellow campers. We had a number of people with dueling sound systems. Still, I like the fact that it's only a little over an hour from the bay area and the scenery is nice. We spent a day on the lake paddle boating and then just lounging around our camp site. Bathrooms were cleaned and restocked everyday and the camp store had everything we needed. Site 133 had a nice shaded spot for our tents; other sites are not so lucky, it's very hit or miss.

This is definitely a family-oriented campsite. Lost of kids running around during the day. If you're a light sleeper, I'd recommend a set of earplugs or headphones, otherwise you might hear kids crying or partying from nearby camp sites into the night.

If you’re up for it, head out to the Ohlone trail. It offers a whopping 29 mile hike that provides an awesome backcountry perspective on the area.

Many of the sites lack adequate shade, so come prepared with an umbrella or shelter-providing mechanism of your choice.

Lake Del Valle is great for kayaking or SUPing, or you can kayak in to some of the sites for overnight camping.

This is not necessarily a tip, but the showers are FREE! Now, you’d think they would lack the necessary comforting facilities with such generous nature, but the bathrooms consistently have hot water and clean washrooms, so we wouldn’t consider camping here “roughing it.”

Make sure to check out the water levels/quality before you go. I think we can all agree that we don’t want to swim during an E. coli spike…

Great park year round, and even better in the "winter" when there are less people. Tons of campsites, Rent fishing boats, fish from shore, miles of hiking, great views. It feels far enough removed from the city, and only a 60-90 minute drive.

Little birdies have told us that campsites 51, 53, 69 are solid while 66-68 are fairly new and lack the necessary shade.

Don’t forget your handy-dandy bug spray, as there is definitely no lack of insects in the area.
