Sunrise Mountain Retreat - Cazadero Mountain Hot Tub Cabin in the Redwoods

Soak in the hot tub as redwood shadows lengthen across the deck of this dog-friendly hillside home, ten minutes off the highway but a world away near Cazadero. Four bedrooms and three baths sleep eight, with a gas fireplace inside and a deck out back. Northwood Golf Club sits 8 miles down the road; Armstrong Redwoods and the Sonoma Coast are within a half-hour drive.

Spend mornings with coffee on the deck as light filters through the redwoods, afternoons swinging clubs at Northwood Golf Club (8 miles) or wandering the giants at Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve, and evenings on the deck after a Sonoma Coast State Park beach day at Goat Rock.

Settle into the living room where sunlight pours through oversized windows and a leather recliner faces the gas fireplace beneath a wall-mounted TV — exposed timber beams overhead keep the cabin feel.

Cook on the granite-topped island with stainless appliances and a four-seat breakfast bar, the open layout keeping whoever's stirring the sauce in the conversation. Gather the group at the dining table under the timber-beamed ceiling and chandelier when dinner's ready.

Cooling note: ceiling fans and cross-breezes only — no central cooling, which the forest canopy and elevation generally handle on their own.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Step onto the upper deck for alfresco meals at the dining table under the red umbrella, with forested views in every direction. Pour a glass at the lower brick paver patio, where a square fire table anchors woven seating for nightcaps under the stars. Slip into the private hot tub when the fog rolls in. A raised-bed vegetable garden and artificial-turf play area round out the yard for kids and dogs.

A heads-up for the drive in: Russian River area roads are narrow and windy. Quiet hours are 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.; max occupancy is eight.

While there's no air conditioning, the home stays naturally cool thanks to the redwood canopy and mountain elevation — ceiling fans in bedrooms provide additional comfort.
