We were looking for a wonderful retreat spot that could "take us away" for a week, a vacation home close enough to San Francisco should we need to return home to care for our elderly parents but "far enough away" to give us refreshment and relaxation. We certainly found our "home away from home" at the Spacious Redwood Retreat in Cazadero.
When we arrived at the Shaw's home, we received a phone call from Mr. Shaw. When asked, "Are you finding everything?", all I could say on the phone was "Your Internet pictures do NOT do this place justice!"
This property is absolutely gorgeous with tasteful accomodations and ornamentations. The various decks of this property allowed our family and guests to have plenty of space for whole group gatherings as well as lovely "alone times". My daughter engaged in watercolor painting lessons with one of our friends on one of the decks while my son and husband lounged around reading their favorite novels under the redwood trees. I was able to pour myself a delicous cup of mocha and sit in a rattan armchair to just "veg" and watch the antics of the wildlife (i.e. squirrels, woodpeckers, and bluejays)around us.
One of the things I enjoy while vacationing is preparing great food for my family and friends. I usually pack my sharpened knives, some specialty gadgets, and favorite pots/pans because I inevitably find that the cabin where I'm staying is without "my necessities". Not here! I could have left ALL of my pots and pans as well as my gadgets at home. (I brought extra paper towels, napkins, dish soaps, sponges, etc. just in case and found that all of those supplies came home with me.) We found a food processor and blender here that greatly assisted one of our guest in her preparation for many of the meals.
A terrifically stocked and cared for residence that we plan to visit again in the near future.

| I spent a wonderful week at this amazingly tranquil and secluded cabin. I loved all the trees. They give the feeling of being nestled up in a spacious tree house. Whether I was outside on the expansive deck, walking around the property, or inside looking out through the skylights and windows, I constantly felt calm, relaxed, and renewed. The cabin is nicely decorated and clean. The large master bedroom and bathroom are beautiful. The living room is very comfortable. I loved having a fire going each night. The home theater system is incredible. The kitchen is well equipped. It was hard to leave this magical place and I am eager to return. |

| Wonderful, well kept, nicely appointed cabin in a peaceful and serene wooded setting. Our entire family loved it. Even with the rainy weather we were warm and comfy. The location is close to several cute towns and just 10 minutes drive to the coast or to a number of well known vineyards. Thank you for sharing your home with us! |

| We just spent a week over Thanksgiving at this lovely home. It is very spacious, beautifully decorated, clean, and incredibly comfortable. We had an extended family here and enjoyed nights by the first, days on the deck and great hiking at the beach and Armstrong Redwoods. Our kids loved playing on the grounds and finding critters. I'd recommend it to anyone. We hope to return! |

Well, waking up in the morning in this cabin, everyone
had smiles on their faces. The outdoors is naturally
secluded but with plenty of light and space for our
family breakfast for six. Convenient location for
coastal and river tours. Spacious and warm, modern
cabin had just what everyone needed. We recommend. |
