Sea Ranch Home with WiFi and Fireplace - Pools, Tennis, and Golf - Dog-Friendly

Madrone Cottage

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

Worlds away from your day-to-day, this tranquil home presents a minimalist retreat at the fabled Sea Ranch. This idyllic community provides lap pools, tennis/pickleball courts, playgrounds, and over 50 miles of scenic hiking trails. The Sea Ranch Chapel, a unique (and non-denominational) work of art.
We wanted to give warning about construction taking place on a neighboring property, from about May-December 2025. This won't block access to or even be visible from Madrone Cottage but may result in some level of noise from time to time during the weekdays.

Designed by Fiona O’Neill, this stylish cottage is fully equipped for your stay. Moveable shoji paper walls create a flexible and calming interior, and large picture windows provide peaceful views of the trees and meadow. Whip up trail snacks or delicious dishes in the galley kitchen, configured with a fridge, stove, oven, microwave, and coffee maker. Cozy up by the wood-burning stove after long walks on the beach, or unwind outside with a beautiful view of the stars.

wonderful house
so comfortable for 2 people and a dog. It's small, but not cramped. Great location and views. Everything works. The only downside for us was having to bring our own bedding and pillows because the house only has down pillows and blankets.

Quiet hideaway
This little cottage was extremely quiet, buried in the woods down a short, but easily navigated gravel driveway. (Our sedan had no problems with the driveway.) The hot tub was not within view of any neighbors. The road could not be heard either at night or during the day. Very peaceful.

The Perfect Birthday Weekend
This was the perfect getaway for my hubby's birthday weekend. The house is beautifully decorated, and we had everything we needed there. We were so surprised at how well organized everything was in the home. The bed was super comfy, although the kitchen was small, we had what we needed to bake a cake, and prepare a birthday dinner, it was great. The hot tub was the perfect way to end the day with a hot toddy, and to start the day with coffee. We took advantage of Links Golf Course, which is just across highway 1, you can also walk there from the house. We have stayed in many Sea Ranch homes in the past, but none of them had the charm, privacy and complete accommodations like this place did, thank you so much!

Cozy peaceful retreat
I debated between a property that had an ocean view and this property with a hot tub. So glad I chose Madrone Cottage! Stargazing from the hot tub was the ultimate in relaxation. Instead of an ocean view and the endless wind on the water side of the highway, I was treated with absolute quiet, punctuated by bird song and turkey calls. The only neighbors I encountered were tiny bunnies and plump quail. The view is of a sun-dappled meadow, and a gorgeous Madrona tree. This is no cookie cutter grey/shiplap/boho Wayfair decorated rental. The home is furnished with vintage furniture and as an artist I especially appreciated the quirky artwork. I only got to stay 2 nights, but it was so peaceful and comfortable that I felt like I had been away a week!

Madrone cottage
No one lives in this neighborhood. there is no community here. Gualala doesn’t have any restaurants, so bring your own to be completely chill. Privacy here is just off the charts. The natural beauty is unequaled and I’ve been a lot of places. A fabulous place to buy a summer home. Immersion in the natural beauty of the area is about your only entertainment. I want to thank the landlord of this unit for allowing us to have our pet. Right now this place is the cheapest deal for pet owner.

Great place…with a few watchouts
positives - place has a great design with the wooden paneling and furniture - the hot tub is big and worked well the one time we used it - isolated area in nature with great trails (and a dog park!) close by Negatives - Lots of carpenter ants in the home and bigger bugs getting into the home even with all doors/windows closed. - Some reviews said the kitchen was stocked with the basics but there was nothing there. the fridge was completely empty, with only a half bottle of olive oil in the pantry and salt. - Only small pan for cooking. bring your own pans if you plan to cook.

Beautiful little home, unfortunate timing
This home was very peaceful for the three days my wife and I stayed there. Despite a small footprint everything is central and open with the ability to close off parts using the sliding paper “walls”. There is immediate access to trails and it feels entirely private, with no other homes or roads visible from inside. And the hot tub was LOVELY our first night. The only negatives that didn’t come from bad luck were the kitchen being a little cramped (definitely a 1-person kitchen) with super dull knives (bring your own if you want to cook!), and the shower being a bit small with one of the paper walls as a bathroom “door” (hopefully you and your partner are comfortable being able to hear each other). These were honestly only minor annoyances though to a lovely experience. The much larger issue was entirely separate from the home, and Madrone Cottage actually made it much more manageable than it may otherwise have been. About 12 hours after we arrived the power went out for all of Sea Ranch, and still hadn’t come back when we left. Luckily heat, stove, and hot water were all gas-powered with no fans, so other than using a lighter on the stove and buying ice for the fridge we were able to live mostly normally. The cottage even came supplied with candles and electric lanterns! Unfortunately the hot tub stopped heating without power. Overall my wife and I had a lovely time, and would certainly recommend this house to others.

Lovely, loved seeing wildlife from front door. Great cool weather and hiking trails. I loved using the Sea Ranch Del Mar pool. Perfect for lap swimming! Some more windows that actually open/ some fans, etc., would have helped with hottest days

Small but large!
Perfect for a couple with a small dog. (Very nice) shoji screens can be arranged to the entire house is one big room. Very private cul de sac - especially when the house across the end is vacant. Very close to the best trail in Sea Ranch (the Azalea Loop Trail) for dog walks. The heater was out - they plan to replace it. Kind of nice relying on the wood stove (I guess I love playing with fire?). Small, nice, clean, kitchen equipped enough, bbq, nice house.

Peaceful and quiet
This is a great property. The deer and wild turkeys come through by the property. Very nice to sit outside in chairs in the yard, or in the house looking out the many windows or in the hot tub on the deck . Very relaxing! We miss it and want to go back .

Mystical Madrone Cottage
My wife and I were looking for a peaceful quite place to stay in Sea Ranch and this beautiful cottage at the end of a private drive was perfect! Very Zen indeed and quiet. there is a nice wooded area at the front with the mesmerizing Madrone out the back window. We found ourselves just meditating on the tree and were so inspired we both painted our own version. Plenty of great books to explore and the size of the cottage at about 800 square feet proved just perfect for the two of us. We have stayed at many places in Sea Ranch and this is a unanimous favorite! This is a special place to be sure and we came away very relaxed and inspired. Looking forward to another stay here.

Nice stay
The home was clean and neat and quiet at night. No immediate neighbors which was also nice. The kitchen was well stocked but very little coffee and only one filter, but the second day they dropped off more filters along with the missing hairdryer and a parking pass for Sea Ranch. The TV is in the bedroom and not the living room but because the whole house is shoshi screens, we opened the wall and turned it around to watch the tv in the living room. Because of walls being shoshi screens, the noise travels through the house which means talking in the living room or watching tv there would prevent someone else sleeping in the bedroom. My husband liked the house very much I was more neutral on it. The blinds are light filtering which meant we were up early in the morning. Finally, the toilet needs adjusting as at times the water kept running, but they most likely can fix that easily. The setting was very nice and one day we watched a deer out our windows. If you are an early riser and early to bed you will most likely really enjoy this house

Nature Therapy Meets Modern Cottage
"Nestled up against the woods, this cozy cottage has everything you need to peel away from your busy week and relax. The house’s modern architecture style offers options for privacy or for wide-open spaces. Every seat in the house has a view of nature. You’ll find chipmunks playing on the back porch, Stellar Bluejays hopping around the yard, wild turkeys foraging for worms, a herd of deer taking an extensive picnic just outside, and a small fox scampering down the trail.  The peace and quiet here truly replenishes the soul. Cozy up by the ample fireplace or star-gaze in the hot-tub.  Grill up a storm or take a quick drive into town for meal at the local restaurants - Mexican, Thai, pizza or the barbecue pit.  If you are loyal sports-fanatic, you can hit the trails or visit the nearby tennis courts, swimming pool and golf course.  Or if you’d rather catch a playoff game or finish that Netflix series you’ve been binging, you’ll be happy that the house has excellent internet service, better than in the City! Groceries, gas, a bookstore, a theatre and more are all a quick hop away by car. In sum, our hearts and minds are full! This is a wonderful place to be..."
