The Redwood House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Wake up among the treetops at this Gualala retreat, a stunningly situated redwood escape with a private hot tub, a wraparound deck with woodland and ocean views, and a wondrous location along the Northern California Coast.

You'll find this cozy treehouse in a dense grove of coastal redwoods just four miles north of downtown Gualala's charming shops, markets, and galleries. Wake up to gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean through the trees, take long, leisurely drives along a spectacular stretch of California Highway 1, and watch unforgettable sunsets from the Point Arena Lighthouse 16 miles north.

The living space is an ode to the home's natural surroundings, with abundant exposed wood and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the redwoods. Curl up in the window seat with an engrossing novel from the shelves, or start planning hikes, nature walks, and picnics in the surrounding hills.

Whip up homemade breakfasts in the full kitchen each morning, and bring your coffee outside to the picnic table on the wraparound deck. Spend your days whale watching on the shores of Gualala Point Regional Park or teeing off at the Sea Ranch Golf Links 19 miles south, and end the evenings with a relaxing soak in the private hot tub beneath the treetops before cuddling up by the fire.

Find rest, relaxation, romance, and unrivaled natural beauty at this unique Gualala home - book your stay on the wild Northern California Coast today!

Pretty and private yet house needs help
The best thing about this house is the privacy it offers. Other than that the house has issues that need to be addressed. I’m sure the homeowners and management are well aware of these things. Why it continually gets rented and these things not addressed is beyond me. Hopefully it happens because it really is a lovely location for peace, quiet, and privacy.

Great stay in the coastal redwoods
Wonderful and cozy place, perfect for a quiet and intimate getaway. Would definitely recommend to any couple looking for a quiet getaway with a vintage feel. The Thai spot down the road is great and it’s a short and fun drive to Gualala or Point Arena. 10/10!

Great secluded getaway spot - tidy and quiet just like we like it. Perfect for 2 people. Bring extra blankets for cozy-time. Space out while gazing through those gorgeous windows.

Relaxing redwood retreat
Overall I enjoyed my weekend stay and would book this property again! The floor to ceiling bay window with the redwood view was stunning, especially paired with the cushioned seating right underneath it. I also loved the patio and the hot tub! Nice quality hot tub towels were included. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishwater’s, utensils, etc. The location is very peaceful. You could only hear the rustling trees, birds and the ocean. Some minor improvements: the bedroom with the twin beds could use side tables. I found TV trays in the closet to use for this purpose. One of the kitchen burners wasn’t working and the bathroom sink drained slowly if a lot of water in the sink, but all very minor call outs to an otherwise great stay!

Redwood House delivers again
This was my 4th stay at this property and, as usual, it was the exact remedy to my stress. First of all, the quiet of the area is arresting. The only sounds were the birds chirping and the sea lions barking against the background of waves crashing. So incredibly peaceful. Everything worked as expected. Check in was simple. Property was well maintained, although there are some spongy planks on the deck near the hot tub. The hot tub is a high point of this property. Kicking back at night and listening to the ocean and the aforementioned sea lions is a sensory experience not to be missed.

Don’t do it
Very musty and smelly. Everything in this place smells. All of our clothes and everything we brought with us absorbed the musty smell. Cooked steak dinner there and the musty aftertaste was terrible. Went out to dinner at a nice restaurant and felt so bad dining at the restaurant as I could smell the mustiness on our clothes and on our bodies, if we could smell this then I know the other patrons at the restaurant could smell it too. Felt so dirty and so embarrassed. Won’t ever return there, we were so excited about this vacation get away only to be completely disappointed.

Property was amazing, Service was mixed
Things didn't start well when I showed up to the Vacasa office, opened the lock box and there was no key or welcome packet for my stay. It was dark, cold, no bathroom, and I didn't have cell signal so it added a lot of unnecessary stress. Luckily once I got hold of the staff, they were able to provide instructions to get in. The property was beautiful and the location was perfect. It was in the forest but you had a glimpse of the ocean. Waking up in the morning, the huge glass windows provided a stunning view of the surrounding trees. There were other minor inconveniences. The front left burner of the stove did not work. The filter for fan above the stove was filled with so much oil that it would drip below when you cooked. The bbq grill ignition didn't work. The shower door would not stay closed. Despite all that, I would go back. It was a soul-nourishing getaway that offered the perfect mix of seclusion and proximity to supplies/civilization.

Gorgeous views but needs TLC
The views are amazing and location is close to groceries, shops, etc. We would go back for the views alone. However, there were some really gross dirty dishes (some with chunks of old food) in the cabinets, kitchen was not very well stocked and there were some spongy boards on the deck by the hot tub. Rustic cabin is great but the kitchen cleanliness issue was pretty offputting.

Disappointed
Having stayed in lovely place prior with Vacasa, this was an extreme disappointment. I appreciate Vacasa's quick response and professionalism. Yet, they do not own or truly manage these homes. That being said, every experience is varied unfortunately. There was not a dishwasher On site so guests had to wash by hand. Some may clean better than others. The cleaning ladies should double check that everything is thoroughly clean before any guest checks in. Here is what what I sent to Vacasa when they ask one to rate the check in Experience & cleanliness of the house:It is more a 3 &1/2 when reviewed in the day light Just greasy plates & glasses, cobwebs on light fixtures & stairwell, black mold (?) in between the tiles in the shower, shower door does not close properly & so floor is wet & only a tiny bath mat to use. Only 1 tissue was in the tissue box & no more to be found. Floor boards & trim are dusty Outdoor entry light bulb is out, inside the stove is grubby Cute place besides all of this It just needs allot of TLC to make it better.

Fun, rustic getaway
Great location - a quiet getaway with an ocean view through the redwoods! The kitchen was very well-stocked and the BBQ worked great. Loved the hot tub. Based on other reviews & photos, we were expecting a bit of a "rustic" experience, and that was totally fine with us! We came prepared on a cooler rainy weekend with extra warm blankets (an electric blanket in fact!). The gas fireplace heats up the entire house pretty well. My only reason for a 4-star rating is due to the bathroom faucet & shower door that both should really be replaced.

Gorgeous!
You are completely surrounded by beautiful redwoods. In the very center of your line of vision are more redwoods and then the ocean and sky. Can’t say enough about the floor to ceiling windows. The deck. Sitting in the hot tub after a long hike. The long red reading spot next to the window. The other stuff was fine - kitchen, bathroom, bedroom/loft. But the main attraction here is the view. Enjoy!

Peace and Quiet
This was my 2nd visit to Redwood House and it was simply amazing. The quiet of the property and the soothing hot tub melted my stress away within an hour of my arrival. Along with the relaxation came a wave of inspiration and I filled many pages of my journal and recorded a dozen voice memos on my phone for future writing. If you’re looking for a place to leave your worries behind and get in touch with your calm and creative self then Redwood House should be at the top of your list of places to visit in Northern California.

Overpriced
Overall, we were disappointed. The location couldn't be better--secluded, quiet, dark at night, ocean view, and surrounded by redwoods. Having a washer and dryer was helpful. But otherwise, we feel we way overpaid for such a rundown property. First and foremost, the house was SO COLD. There is only one heat register that works; the rest have a note on them saying they're "not connected." We ran that heat register, the gas fireplace, and the lone space heater for a full 24 hours before the house came to a reasonable temperature that did not require me to wear my down jacket inside. Second, it wasn't all that clean or in good shape. There were cobwebs in the bathroom and on stairs and ceilings, the shower drain was slow, leaving me standing in several inches of slimy water by the end of my short shower, and the furniture is very worn and dingy. The queen bed squeaks so loud; I had to stay in one position all night to avoid waking my baby in the next room (and the pocket door to that room sticks and is also very loud, and won't shut all the way). The front left burner on the stove doesn't work at all. The house is dimly lit inside. I see these same problems described in reviews from years past, so clearly they've known about issues for a long time and haven't bothered fixing them. Check-in wasn't until 4:00, and check-out is at 10:00, making our three-day stay feel like a quick two-day stay. And the listing states it has two bedrooms, but this isn't quite true. There is one room with a door, but the second "bedroom" is just the rest of the loft, which you can't close off from the rest of the house. It could be great with a few repairs and updates, but as-is, it's not worth nearly the price we paid.

Still Fantastic!
This was our second time staying at the Redwood House. There is just no way to accurately describe the peace and beauty that is this little cabin in the woods. We will return again! Of Note: There is no central heat and only one of the wall units work. There is a gas fireplace that does help and one space heater for the bedroom. It was 37 degrees our first night and it was chilly in the house! If you are a light sleeper, bring a sleeping mask - there are no window coverings on any of the windows!
