Sequoia Beach Dreamery

Sequoia Beach Dreamery is perfect for couples, and anyone who wants a break from kids, caretaking, or work. This peaceful cottage is an easy getaway for celebrating a birthday, anniversary, a dream come true ... or for creating new dreams. “The Dreamery,” as it is affectionately known, overlooks a sandbar beach on Big Austin Creek. It’s easy to get to and it’s a bit off the busy tourist track. A recent guest wrote: "This is a perfect location, close to the coast and the Russian River wineries ... and secluded enough to make us feel like we got away. This is our new favorite place!" The owner’s attention to detail is legendary, with thoughtful touches that offer an ongoing sense of greeting. The home is tastefully decorated in the Craftsman style with Zen elements and Japanese art. It features a well-equipped kitchen, luxuriously remodeled bathroom with radiant-heat floors, comfy beds, cozy fireplace, and Smart TV entertainment options. Light, airy bedrooms open directly onto a spacious deck with views of the redwood forest, creek, and swimming hole. A second bedroom provides flexibility when two guests do not sleep in the same bedroom. The extra space is also set up to serve as an office for guests to work remotely. Outdoors, you’ll enjoy a gas BBQ and dining area, a unique hot-water shower at the base of soaring redwoods, star-gazing from the hot tub, a calming Japanese garden, and -- most importantly -- peaceful intimacy with Nature. Year-round Austin creek is home to protected steelhead salmon, giant blue herons, kingfishers, egrets, ducks, and playful river otters. Guests love summer at The Dreamery, but the off-season is equally glorious. Summer visitors give way to waterfalls, and the atmosphere becomes even more peaceful. If you enjoy gentle pursuits like romancing, reading, writing, and relaxing, you’ll love The Dreamery. Sequoia Beach Dreamery is near the village of Cazadero in the Russian River/Sonoma Coast resort area -- just 90 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge. An authentic "Country Store" and coffee shop/bakery are a quick walk or bike ride away. It’s a short drive to the Sonoma Coast where the Russian River meets the mighty Pacific Ocean. And even when the coast is foggy, you’ll appreciate the sunny "banana belt" weather in this protected microclimate. When guests are ready to explore, The Dreamery is within easy day trips to a variety of experiences including world-class wineries, casual and fine restaurants, charming country towns, Armstrong Woods Redwood Preserve, Northwood golf course, Jenner by-the-Sea, and breathtaking Sonoma beaches. Outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, fishing, and biking abound in this eco-adventure paradise. And once you get here, you may not want to leave (ever!).
