The Lazy Bear - Forestville Dog-Friendly Forest Cabin with Hot Tub

Slip into the hot tub as redwoods sway overhead and the forest settles into evening quiet. This dog-friendly hideaway brings your pup along for riverside adventures — the Russian River flows just 0.2 miles away. Cozy up with 4 in this colorful cabin after wine tasting at Porter Creek (2.1 mi) or paddling from Burke's Canoe Trips. Your forest retreat sits minutes from Forestville's tasting rooms yet feels worlds away in the trees.

Spend mornings on the deck as mist lifts off the Russian River, afternoons floating the river or visiting Korbel and Joseph Jewell tasting rooms, and evenings around the firepit with the day's bottles.

A rust-orange leather sofa pulls in beside the electric fireplace as large windows frame the surrounding forest. A wall-mounted TV is ready for movie nights, and a patterned area rug anchors the room. The galley pairs natural wood and white cabinets with dark counters and a turquoise vintage-style fridge — a small footprint that punches above its weight. The dining nook sets four on built-in bench seating beneath a cheerful red gingham cloth.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Multi-level decks transform the sloped forest site into outdoor rooms. Gather around the fire table in Adirondack chairs on the upper deck, then descend to the lower level where a white clawfoot hot tub waits beneath the tree canopy. A gas grill stands ready, and mature trees provide complete privacy.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
The main bedroom features a king bed in classic plaid beneath exposed beams. A basement sleeping area offers a queen bed with vintage furnishings. Sleeps four.
